> Prepare pictures with an instruction for each, so the right one appears at the right scene.

Players read a story, and a picture lands harder at the big moments. In this step you prepare images, and the AI shows the right one when its instruction fits the scene.

The pictures are yours. This is not realtime image generation. The AI chooses when to show an image you uploaded, and it never draws a new one.

>
> This step is optional. A world works without images. The cover is separate, and the release step asks for it.

## Add an image

- Upload the image. **Press Upload image. A crop window opens with ratios from Original to wide, square and tall. Best at 1280 by 720.**
- Write the instruction. **Up to 160 characters, telling the AI when to show it. For example, the first time the player enters the shrine at night.**
- Add more. **Press Add an image slot. You can keep up to 24 images.**

## Opening images and ending images

Two images work differently. An opening image attaches to a starting choice in the player start step, and shows the instant a player picks that choice. An ending image attaches to an ending, and shows full width when the ending is reached.
