Edit and Publish

Every character and story starts as a local draft on your device. You can edit freely, preview changes instantly, and publish when you're ready — publicly for the community or privately for yourself.

Local Draft

When you create or edit a character or story, all changes are saved locally on your device as you go. Nothing touches the server until you explicitly publish. This means you can experiment, break things, and iterate without affecting anything live.

If you open a published work for editing, it becomes a local draft again. The published version stays live and unchanged while you work on your local copy.

Preview Changes

Click the Play button in the titlebar to test your character or story at any time. It loads directly from your local draft, so every edit is reflected immediately — no need to publish first. The button is yellow when playing a local draft and green when playing the published version.

For stories, most changes take effect immediately in an ongoing conversation. Opening lines only appear when you start a new playthrough. To test drastic changes, start fresh — existing conversation history can influence how the AI responds to your edits.

Publish

When you're ready, click Publish in the editor. Your work will appear on the homepage for everyone to discover. Uncheck Make visible to everyone if you'd rather keep it private.

Private works can be incomplete — useful for saving work in progress or syncing between devices. Public characters need all fields complete: model, name, description, voice, portrait, and personality prompt. Public stories need: name, description, cover, background, and at least one fully-configured character.

Review

Public content goes through an automatic review that checks for policy compliance. The currently published version stays live while review is in progress. Most submissions are approved within moments. If something is flagged, you'll see the reason — edit and resubmit.

Update a Published Work

Edit and publish again. The existing version remains live until the update passes review, so players won't experience any interruption. Subscribers get the latest version automatically once approved.

Steam Workshop

Steam users can publish to Steam Workshop simultaneously. In the publish dialog, check the Workshop option and choose a visibility level — public, friends only, private, or unlisted.

Workshop subscribers get automatic updates when you republish.
