Creator announcements
Post updates, news, and direct messages to your followers. Markdown, images, audience scope, scheduling.
Announcements are the broadcast channel from you (the creator persona, not a character) to the people who follow you. Use them for: character releases, scenario drops, behind-the-scenes notes, calls to action, the occasional emergency.
What an announcement contains
- Title (short)
- Body — up to 5,000 characters
- Up to 9 images attached to the post
- Visibility — public (visible to everyone) or private draft (visible only to you)
- Optional CTA — link to a specific character, story, campaign, or external URL
Creating one
Creator dashboard → Announcements → + New announcement.
Write, preview, scope the audience, publish.
Where announcements appear
- Follower notifications (in-app + email if user opted in)
- Creator profile page — pinned section
- Followers' Home feed under "Following"
Best practices
- One announcement per real event. Don't fragment a single launch across three posts.
- Lead with the thing. First two sentences must answer "what is this." Then explain.
- Include images. Announcements with a banner outperform text-only by a wide margin.
- CTA at the bottom. Single clear next step — chat with the new character, vote in the campaign, etc.

Engagement on announcements
Each announcement has:
- Reactions — quick affirmation
- Comments — threaded discussion
- Share — repost to followers
You can pin a comment, hide spam, and reply as your creator handle. Comments often turn into community discussion threads — engage in them; that's where loyalty builds.
Frequency
Most active creators post 1-2 times/week. More than 4/week and engagement drops sharply (people start tuning out). Less than once a month and followers forget you exist.
