Setting up your Story

Work in Progress

This documentation is still being expanded and refined. Features, screenshots, and descriptions may change until Talescape's public release. If something is unclear or you need help, please ask on the official Talescape Discord. We're happy to clarify or update pages as needed.

Before you can write dialogue or design branching logic, you’ll need to define the structure of your story. This chapter covers the foundation of every Talescape project: how stories are organized, described, and prepared for content creation.

In this chapter, you’ll learn how to:

  • Create a new story and configure its title, language, dream type, and description.
  • Organize chapters and scenes, and understand how navigation and starting points work.
  • Adjust story settings, including metadata, content warnings, and collaborator permissions.
  • Manage your media, from backgrounds and character portraits to audio and effects.

Each topic builds on the last, ensuring your project is properly structured before you begin writing.
