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.

Every project begins by creating a new story. Authoring access requires a connected external account; email-only accounts can play stories as Dreamers. Connections are managed in Account Settings. The initial story settings can be changed later through your story's settings.
1. Opening the Create Dialog
Navigate to "My Stories". Given you might be reading this from within the app, you are already in the right place. Right now everything looks vast and empty, so lets fill this with life. Select Create new Story. This opens a modal where you can configure the initial details of your story.
2. Select your Dream Type
The dream type represents the mood or emotional tone of your story. It doesn't limit gameplay or features but helps categorize stories on the platform. You can think of it as the overall atmosphere you want to convey. Dream Types can be changed later through the story settings.
3. Title & Language
Enter your story title. The title must be unique across all published stories on Talescape.
Guidelines:
- Avoid names that are identical or confusingly similar to existing stories.
- Keep titles concise and easy to read (preferably under 60 characters).
- The internal story ID remains fixed, even if you rename your story later.
Select your story’s base language. All text content (dialogues, descriptions and warnings) is stored per language. Future versions will support multiple languages and translation tools directly within the editor.
