Hi friends!
Happy new update to you! Today we're releasing Story Architect version 0.3.1, which got a little better for you!
The main direction that will go through version 0.3 will be the expansion of story world development capabilities.
Character Profile
Oh yes! Now you can compile a dossier for each of your characters in a convenient (and of course beautiful) way.
The program will help you look at a character from all angles, dive deeper into his/her own story, and think about his/her goals, actions, and reasons.
And another nice bonus is that now you can add more atmospheric reference photos.
Welcoming New Users
The number of authors using STARC is growing rapidly, so we decided to update the first run of the app to improve the user experience and ease the first steps of getting used to the app.
Help Center
But writing code wasn't the only thing we were doing all this time!
We finally created and started filling out the help section on our site, and made a working button on the project list screen in the application itself. Now at any time, you can open our help center and read one of our articles.
What else
Well of course we have fixed bugs and made some improvements in the new version!
- support for emoji, both in text editors and in text fields (comments, titles, etc.) is added;
- user experience while working with frame titles in comics when using Tab & Enter buttons us improved;
