Creating a Series

Team Caffy2025-12-29

Series is the most narrative-focused content genre on Caffy.

You will design:

  • World and setting

  • Main characters

  • Episode structure (Opening / Phase / Ending)

A Series is not a branching game, but a directed interactive novel.

Studio - Series Studio is where you will create your Series.

Series Studio has 3 tabs:

  • Set your Series title

  • Write a short description / hook

  • Upload a cover image (horizontal)

  • Add episodes and write the plot outline and key beats

  • Upload a cover image (vertical)

  • Define Phase progression and Endings 

  • Create your own cast 

  • Set each character’s name, description, and secret

  • (Import function isn't available yet)

Clarity beats verbosity.

Each Episode consists of:

  • Opening

    • Introduces the starting situation.

    • The AI follows the tone, style, and direction set here.

  • Phase

    • The core interactive segment.

    • Context: briefly explain what happens in the phase

    • Forbidden actions: list anything that should NOT happen

    • Triggers for progression: must be short and specific.

      • Think WHO does WHAT.

      • If it's too specific, users can't find the trigger.

      • If it's too vague, AI can't find the trigger. 

  • Ending

    • Triggered when conditions are met.

    • Tip: Ending on a cliffhanger makes users eager to continue.

Avoid placing too many events in a single Episode, as it may disrupt pacing.

Give clear direction to the AI and characters on how to play out the episode.

You can define:

  • Character behavior

  • Narrative tone

  • Forbidden actions

  • Story progression rules

Think of it as a script and performance guide for the AI narrator and NPCs.
