Latest build

v0.10.50 2026-08-01

  • Smoother worlds: Crowds on the far side of the world now sleep until you swing around, and distant characters animate in efficient batches - The big cube faces benefit most
  • Every character casts a soft shadow at their feet - The crowd finally stands ON the ground
  • The starship flies nose-first now, on a closer lane you will actually see - And drags its shadow across the world below

v0.10.49 2026-08-01

  • Copy a whole item's tuning onto another: Every tuned pose plus its wrist curls lands on the benched item in one tap
  • New Structures bench in the editor: Preview any building and tune its world size, saved per structure

v0.10.48 2026-08-01

  • Nyla joins the cast: A new asset with her own full pose library, ready for crowds, target duty, the Asset Bay and the gear editor
  • Her built-in backpack means she carries hand gear only - Intel, decoys and the how-to all respect that

v0.10.47 2026-07-31

  • All 25 gear items rebuilt on Meshy's own simplified meshes (about 4k triangles each) - Same look, much lighter on the phone and a smaller download

v0.10.46 2026-07-31

  • Eight new gear items join the field kit: Instant camera, multi lens, headphones, mechanical puzzle, star chart and field journal in hand; greenhouse pack and solar pack on the back
  • All of them can be target intel, cycle in the how-to, and tune in the gear editor

v0.10.45 2026-07-31

  • A starship now circles every world in orbit - About a tenth of the world's size, each world on its own tilted lane
  • The little chapter worlds on the title screen fly their ships too

v0.10.44 2026-07-31

  • Copy from any pose: The editor's copy picker now lists every pose, not just tuned ones - An untuned pose copies exactly what it displays
  • Works on whatever is benched: Hand item, back item, or either wrist (wrists copy from poses with a tuned curl)

v0.10.43 2026-07-31

  • Your tuned gear placement now shows everywhere: The title screen, the target dashboard, pause help, the Asset Bay, mission portraits and the dance party all use the exact editor values
  • Switching characters in the editor keeps your camera exactly where you had it - No more re-framing to the opening shot

v0.10.42 2026-07-31

  • Tuned rows are untouchable now: A stray tap on the touchpad no longer re-grids the row you were only looking at
  • A gesture can only ever write the exact row named at the top of the bench - Never a silently retargeted one
  • Undo history only records gestures that actually changed something

v0.10.41 2026-07-31

  • The bench seats cycle their own gear: Tap Hand item again for the next device, tap Back item for the next pack
  • The Back seat is always live - Tapping it with nothing worn equips the first back item

v0.10.40 2026-07-31

  • Switching characters keeps the same pose now - The browse and editor carry the pose across, not its slot number

v0.10.39 2026-07-31

  • Both wrists bend on every character now - The free hand was stuck, which locked lefty wrists entirely
  • Nerdette's runaway right-wrist value from the stuck era is cleared, ready to tune for real

v0.10.38 2026-07-31

  • The carry tablet is hand-fitted to all four assets now - Every character holds it their own way
  • Each wrist curl is personal too, from the Nerd's gentle turn to Nerdette's full flip

v0.10.37 2026-07-31

  • Bending a wrist never moves the held gear anymore - The hand articulates, the item holds its place
  • A Freeze toggle on the character side pauses the animation - Tune against a still pose
  • Alf's latest tuning merged: Personal curls for Zack and the Nerd, tablet re-seats for the Nerd and Zuri

v0.10.36 2026-07-31

  • The bench seats four: Hand item, back item, left wrist, right wrist - Pick what the touchpad edits
  • In wrist mode the pad bends the hand: Drags and twist all rotate, no pinch
  • Every character owns their wrist curls now - And copy/paste carries them between characters
  • Reset row zeroes a wrist like any other row; undo stacks everything in one history

v0.10.35 2026-07-31

  • Tuning is per character now: Every edit belongs to exactly one character, one pose, one item
  • Save shows its manifest first - The exact character/pose/gear rows it will write - Then commits on confirm
  • Switching gear away from unsaved edits asks: Save all, discard that item, or keep editing
  • Paste a placement onto another pose, another same-slot item, or another character - Cross-character pastes auto-adjust to the new skeleton
  • Alf's latest field tuning merged: Three mounts, new pose offsets, lefty defaults and a Zuri override

v0.10.34 2026-07-30

  • The axis arrows can hide: An Axes toggle joins the view buttons
  • The hand and back gear buttons move onto the character side, right where you watch the change
  • Two-finger twist on the character spins them - Same surface as pinch-zoom and the asset tap

v0.10.33 2026-07-30

  • Alf's field tuning lands: The tablet re-seated, with bent wrists in the carry hold
  • Left-handed characters get their own hand-gear placements - Tune once on a lefty and every lefty inherits it
  • Right-handed placements stay the default for everyone else - New characters start from their handedness
  • Fixed the asset card scrambling after leaving the editor - The character sits above the buttons again

v0.10.32 2026-07-30

  • Browse characters wearing the SAME gear - Stepping assets no longer strips them
  • Tap the character inside the editor to switch who is wearing the benched item
  • Nothing saves by itself anymore: A Save button confirms twice, first reporting how many characters and poses the change touches
  • A pulsing AFFECTS: ALL CHARACTERS banner shows the blast radius; tap it to narrow to one character
  • The axis arrows and ring slim down to a quarter the width and an eighth the length
  • The touchpad legend wears the axis colors - Each gesture names its colored axis
  • Wrist bends now belong to the pose AND the held item together

v0.10.31 2026-07-30

  • Pinch to zoom the character view itself
  • Undo and Redo in the editor - 20 steps in each direction
  • Labeled axis arrows through the character in the item's own space, bright on the axes you are editing
  • A colored ring circles the current rotation axis
  • Move and Rotate axes toggle separately
  • Copy and paste a hand item's placement between devices
  • Wrist bends no longer drag the held item along - The hand articulates around it

v0.10.30 2026-07-30

  • The editor opens looking right at the benched item: Back items show the back, hand items show the carry hand
  • An Axis toggle above the pad cycles X/Y/Z - It names what up/down (and the twist) drives, and what left/right drives
  • Copy a tuned pose's offsets into an untuned pose with one pick
  • Wrist buttons: Bend each hand about the focus axis, per pose - The held gear follows
  • Reset view re-frames the item

v0.10.29 2026-07-30

  • Touchpad edits show live in every pose now: In Generic and Char scope the item sits on its real mount while you tune it
  • The editor splits the screen evenly - Character left, controls right - So the touchpad has room for two hands
  • The pad also hears every input style the phone offers, with a tiny corner counter showing what arrives

v0.10.28 2026-07-30

  • The gear editor's steppers give way to a touchpad: Drag to move, pinch to scale, twist two fingers to rotate
  • Gestures work in view space - Orbit the character to reach the other axes
  • Values snap to tidy numbers when you lift your fingers; Touch: Fine for delicate work
  • The finale party gets real dancers: The assets cycle their celebration moves - No more T-poses
  • The party floor now belongs to the assets plus a few aliens and robots

v0.10.27 2026-07-30

  • Updating now really installs: After the download, the Android installer opens on its own
  • (The app was missing the install permission - The download finished and then nothing could happen)

v0.10.26 2026-07-29

  • The editor knock always answers: Seven taps open the bench even with empty hands (the tablet jumps in)
  • The Signal Droid counts along - "editor 4/7" appears so a missed knock is never a mystery

v0.10.25 2026-07-29

  • The gear editor goes full screen: Orbit, pan and zoom the character while you tune
  • Three tuning scopes: Everyone, this pose only, or this character only
  • Every pose can now carry its own hand and back item offsets
  • Character-specific gear specs override the generic ones - For bigger and smaller builds
  • Cycle poses and gear without leaving the bench; fine and coarse steps
  • Every change journals to files on the phone the instant it happens

v0.10.24 2026-07-29

  • The gear editor follows along: Change hand or back gear and it retargets to the new item
  • Editor numbers now survive on the phone - Every tweak is journaled to a file Claude can read

v0.10.20 2026-07-29
