- Route confirmed life events into evidence-based threads, consequences, and Legacy chapters - Schedule episode shots with critical interrupts, replay guards, and a combat budget - Admit emerging main characters through story momentum instead of spectacle - Remove causal heat, hard-arc memory writes, and synthetic epilogue continuity - Expand narrative harness coverage, soak auditing, and product documentation |

IdleSpectator
WorldBox NeoModLoader mod: AFK Idle Spectator camera director.
Controls
- I - toggle Idle Spectator on/off
- F9 - toggle Character Chronicle side panel (non-modal; works with focus)
- Dragging the camera while Spectator is on turns it off (after a short grace period)
What it follows
The camera follows the developing lives and relationships of a small emerging cast. A story
scheduler chooses developments that advance an active character thread, yields to critical world
events, and returns only when the story has new evidence. EventStrength still models urgency and
visual value, but it no longer owns continuity. Bounded character/world fill runs when no episode
has a usable development.
While watching, a character beat caption shows who they are (Identity), an orange event sentence (Beat), and muted Context (story spine or open stake).
Main characters get Name · Title when they have a real role; tips may gain a self-explanatory relation clause.
See docs/life-saga.md and docs/event-reason.md.
Lingering on someone writes a Chronicle line; F9 lists them and click jumps the camera.
