🎉 New Features on VirtualTalesHub: Create Character Groups & Share Images!

We’re thrilled to announce two exciting new features on VirtualTalesHub that will take your storytelling and roleplaying experiences to the next level!

Group Chats Between Characters

You can now create group chats where multiple characters can interact at once — perfect for collaborative storytelling, in-character discussions, or multi-perspective roleplaying.

With Group Character Chats, you can:

• Add multiple characters (yours or shared) to the same chat room
• Write dialogue from different character points of view in real time
• Play out scenes involving entire parties, guilds, families, or factions

Whether you're planning a battle strategy with your adventuring party, having a royal family drama unfold in real time, or running a mystery investigation with a group of detectives — group chats allow for rich, multi-voice storytelling.

These aren’t just message threads — they’re living story spaces, where the chemistry between characters can evolve naturally and organically.

💡 Pro Tip: Use groups to separate story arcs! One for political intrigue, another for travel logs, another for late-night tavern banter — your storytelling just became a lot more flexible.

Image Sharing Is Now Live

Storytelling just got more visual — and more personal. You can now send images directly to your characters as part of your conversations.

That’s right: if you’re chatting with one of your AI-powered characters, you can now upload and send an image just like a message — and they’ll see it and respond to it in-character.

What can you send?

• A mysterious map your character must decipher
• A photo of a dress or armor set for them to react to
• A landscape image of the setting they’re exploring
• A cryptic symbol, object, or note that advances the plot
• Even a selfie or drawing, just for fun!

The possibilities are endless. Your characters will analyze, interpret, and respond to the image depending on their personality, context, and relationship with you.

💬 Send an image of a ruined temple to your explorer character, and watch them react with excitement, caution — or sarcasm.

This feature adds a whole new layer of immersive storytelling, letting you blend visuals into your narrative and give your characters even more to engage with.

How It Works

Creating a Group Chat

Getting started with group chats is quick and easy:

1. Go to the "Chats" section in your dashboard
2. Click on "Group Chats"
3. Select "Create Group"
4. Add the characters you want to include (yours or shared)
5. Give your group a name and an optional description
6. Click Create, and you’re ready to go!

You’ll instantly have a shared space where all selected characters can interact with each other in real time — perfect for storytelling, roleplay scenes, or collaborative planning.

Sending Images to Your Characters

Want to show your character a mysterious artifact, an old photo, or a beautiful landscape?

Here’s how:

1. Open any chat with a character
2. Click the photo icon 📷 in the message bar
3. Select your image
4. Send it — and your character will respond as part of the conversation!

They’ll interpret the image based on their personality, mood, and current context. It’s a powerful way to make interactions more visual, expressive, and immersive.
