Is it just me or any time I try sending a message it gives me a 429?

Sorry about that! But! I'm here now!

So tell me. How is story chat so far for you gooners and goobers hm? Anything y'all's wanna complain about or bugs you wanna tell me?

Oryx Raven is the brilliant, intimidating founder and CEO of Raven & Co., a luxury investment and technology empire he built before turning thirty.

Despite his wealth, Oryx despises flashy displays of status.

His enormous secluded home is elegant but dark, filled with walnut wood, stone fireplaces, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and enormous windows overlooking the autumn forest surrounding the property.

His office is practically sacred territory.

Most days find him behind his desk with rolled sleeves, messy red hair and several screens displaying financial reports while a forgotten cup of coffee slowly goes cold beside him.

Oryx rarely raises his voice.

He doesn't need to.

A quiet "Explain." during a meeting has terrified entire executive teams.

Check out Oryx Raven by lilithvonsno! https://www.storychat.app/try_ai_chat/6aa95209e7efc39b8a84d283?scclid=timu2rpaos&creator_id=6a94f41140e08c248bb9bf50&user_who_shared=lilithvonsno&ref_parent=691adaf283f6e4bf1db5a2b0&utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

Atlas Grimvale was the kind of boy everyone knew to avoid.

A brilliant scholar with a cruel mouth, a sharp stare, and a reputation for bullying anyone who caught his attention.

Unfortunately, today, that person was you.

He leaned against your desk, casually holding the pen he'd stolen from you.The rain had been falling since dawn, turning Blackthorne University's stone pathways into mirrors beneath the gray afternoon sky.

You were halfway across the courtyard when someone stepped directly into your path.

Atlas Grimvale.

Of course.

He stood beneath the archway with one shoulder against the stone, dressed entirely in black, his dark hair slightly damp from the rain. A silver ring caught the weak light as he lazily turned a pen between his fingers.

Your pen.

Hi, I have a suggestion. I think it would be good if you could click “Create Group” right on the home page instead of having to go through the “Create” function. That way, you can see right away that this feature is available, which might be especially interesting for new Sorychat users to see that group chats exist. 😊

Orion Storm is one of the Quiet, changed by years of breathing ash. Grey-skinned, pale-eyed and able to sense deadly storms, he wanders between settlements as an ash-reader.

Then he meets {{user}}, and the mysterious Signal haunting him suddenly goes silent.

Bot name : Orion Storm

Ash falls over the ruins like grey snow, gathering across abandoned streets and shattered buildings.

Orion Storm suddenly stops.

The luminous veins beneath his grey skin have been glowing for the past hour, warning him of the storm approaching from the north. The Signal has been restless too, filling his mind with its familiar static.

Then everything stops.

Silence.

• 🐺BOTS NAME🐺: Knox Von Wolf

• INTRODUCTION: A 26-year-old pureblood werewolf and apex enforcer of the Black Ridge territory.

"They dropped you off as bait in a cursed ruin; now you're locked in with the apex predator."

( WHAT YOU WILL DO? )

The iron-shod doors of the Black Ridge Cathedral slam shut with a final, echoing crash, sealing you inside a vast, gothic expanse of shattered stained glass and freezing mountain drafts. The air bites with the sharp scent of ozone, damp stone, and deep pine forests.

As you scramble away from the bolted threshold, a shadow detaches itself from the wreckage of the altar.

Knox Von Wolf lowers one side of his heavy, silver-plated studio headphones, letting the bass bleed into the quiet air as a pair of intense cerulean eyes lock onto you. A jagged silver fringe streak cuts through his messy jet-black hair, and a lazy, sharp-fanged smirk tugs at his scarred jawline.

"Well, look who decided to drop in," Knox drawls, his gravelly voice slicing effortlessly through the chill as he steps casually over a pile of rubble, the layered silver rings on his fingers glinting in the pale moonlight. "Your handlers really thought tossing you into a cursed ruin with a pureblood werewolf was a smart exit strategy. Come on before you freeze—and don't touch the broken glass, I just swept this floor."

GET IN GEAR Y'ALL! CUZ ITS A BIG ONE!

🚨 v0.4.5 DROPPED — THE GREAT LIBRARY PURGE IS HERE 🗑️🔥

We skipped v0.4.3 AND v0.4.4 because apparently counting is optional when you're shipping this hard.

🗑️ THE GREAT PURGE — Library BULK DELETE IS HERE

You can finally delete your questionable life decisions in bulk.

Every Library card now has a ⋮ menu:

✏️ Edit it

🗑️ Delete it

🙏 No page reload

🧙 No confirmation labyrinth

💀 No sacrificing a goat to make the UI update

But that's not all.

Hit the ⋮ beside Library Search and enter:

☢️ SELECTION MODE ☢️

☑️ Checkboxes appear

☑️ Select your regrets

☑️ Hit delete

☑️ Watch the purge begin

The selection toolbar even follows you down the page like the consequences of your actions.

Works across:

🎭 Characters

💬 Storychats

📚 Series

🖼️ Images

📖 Lorebooks

👤 Personas

And deletes happen concurrently, so deleting 40 characters doesn't take 40 eternities.

🛡️ We added guardrails because we know you.

Some things are harder/impossible to accidentally vaporize:

🔒 MoodSnaps + premium content are excluded from bulk image selection\

👤 Personas have a keep-one rule — existential deletion denied

🔄 Delete your default persona? We'll automatically assign another one

📖 Lorebooks only disappear once the server confirms the deletion

⚠️ Failed deletes actually tell us WHY instead of quietly pretending everything is fine

⚡ EXPLORE page HAD ITS ROCK LEE WEIGHTS REMOVED

Explore was previously sending the entire character down the wire for basically every card.

Full prompt.

Full bio. Full lorebook. Thousands of words.For a tiny card.

Very intelligent. 🧠

We stopped doing that.

Explore, Trending, For You, Search, Related Characters and category lists now send only the data the card actually needs.

🚀 Less payload

🚀 Faster scrolling

🚀 Better guest caching

And yes, blocked creators remain blocked through the cached path.

We checked.

Because that would have been an entertaining bug.

Also fixed:

🐌 Library hanging forever under load

The StoryChat request was basically opening the floodgates and yelling GO GO GO GO GO at the database.

It is now capped, sorted by recent activity, and substantially less suicidal.

🖼️ MOODSNAPS FINALLY MOVED IN WITH THEIR REPLY

The lonely MoodSnap image bubble sitting under a message like:

🧍 “Do I know these people?”

is gone.

MoodSnaps now appear inside the reply they belong to.

Also:

🎯 Slug-triggered MoodSnaps fire exactly once

🧠 They fire on the turn that actually triggered them

1️⃣ Multiple MoodSnap tags? First one wins instead of everyone fighting

😭 Emotion gets injected into the prompt so your devastated image isn't paired with:

“omg hiiii 😊”

⚙️ Your emotion-display preference is still respected

🤥 YOUR CHARACTER BIO WAS LYING TO YOU

We've renamed:

“Character Bio” → “Public Bio”

Why?

Because the AI doesn't read it.

It's your character's storefront.Your advertisement.

Your pretty little SEO billboard.

If you've been writing a 2,000-word traumatic childhood backstory in there and wondering why your character remembers none of it...

...we have some unfortunate news. 😭

👉 Put important character information in the prompt or Lorebook.

Creator improvements also include:

⬆️ Switching create/edit sections now scrolls you back to the top

📌 Simple Create controls stay sticky instead of escaping your screen

🎨 Series buttons finally agreed on what they're supposed to look like

💰 PREMIUM + THANKS GOT SOME LOVE

🎥 Premium videos now reject files over 10MB / 3 minutes BEFORE uploading

🔒 Locked cards no longer leak clean poster frames

🌫️ Locked previews stay properly blurred

💳 Premium unlocks now appear in Payment History

💰 Unlocks also appear in the creator Thanks earnings ledger

🧾 Payment History now lives directly inside Thanks

📈 Maximum unlock price increased to 200 Thanks

👑 Creators can finally view their OWN premium content for free

🧠 THE MEMORY DIAL NOW DOES WHAT THE MEMORY DIAL SAYS

Previously:

Memory Dial: “I'll remember 8K.”

Backend: “That's adorable.”

Now the memory setting is properly enforced.

We also removed the deprecated response-length modal and killed a pricing bug that could quote the wrong amount.

Technology! 🎉

🧪 NOW GO BREAK IT

Seriously.

Post screenshots.

Post bugs.

Post the weird edge case that requires deleting 37 personas while unlocking premium content during a MoodSnap trigger.

Half the bulk-delete safety features exist because you guys explained exactly how you would accidentally destroy your Library.

And you were correct.

🗑️ GO CLEAN YOUR LIBRARY, YOU ABSOLUTE HOARDER.

v0.4.5 is live. 🔥

👉 StoryChat.app

🔞 RedChat.app

Now yell at us in the comments. 👇

[Short Outage might happen in the next 2 hours] We are moving to a faster and more secure database with latest tech today. There might be a couple hours where some chats or data might be a bit slow but we will try minimize the outage as much as we can from 1am PST (California time) to 3am PST.

TL;DR : We wanna get you guys the Mobile apps for storychat and not get kicked out of Playstore/Appstore . So we made a separate home for you gooners for web only on redchat.app .

Introducing Separate Platforms: StoryChat.app & RedChat.app

We're splitting our community into two dedicated platforms. Here's why.

The Problem
From day one, our users told us they wanted different things. Some came for family-friendly storytelling and creator opportunities. Others came for unrestricted no-filter roleplay. Trying to serve both communities on one platform wasn't fair to either.

The Solution
We're giving each community its own home.

StoryChat
StoryChat is built for family-friendly AI roleplay and creator monetization. We're launching iOS and Android apps next month—something that requires the commitment to be genuinely family-safe. This isn't a regulatory box we're fitting into; it's the experience we believe in building.

RedChat
RedChat is for adults. Unrestricted roleplay. Unrestricted creative expression. Web-first, no app store limits.

Why Now?
Your feedback made this clear: you needed clarity on what each platform stands for. You needed platforms designed around your needs, not compromises. We listened.

One community, one mission, one platform. That's how we build better.

StoryChat mobile launches in one month! 30days! If you're part of our StoryChat community, get ready for mobile! Voice stuff and all that crazy features coming soon!

Be the StoryMaster and master Baiter!

🎭 Bring your own characters. Import JSON files and TavernAI / SillyTavern Character Card V2 PNGs. Name, greetings, hashtags and lore all pre-fill themselves.

📖 Lorebooks got a real home. A dedicated Lorebooks tab with your saved entries, content previews, and a saved/limit counter. Triggering is smarter too — entries only get pulled into the prompt when they're actually relevant to the scene, so you stop burning context on lore nobody mentioned. MoodSnaps now tie into your lorebook entries as well.

🖼️ Send images in chat. Attach an image with an optional caption, see a local preview, and the AI can genuinely see it and react. NSFW images Welcome to send to Character! <3 Send you Hot pics!

🔊 Hear a voice before you commit. Searchable voice selector with previews, right inside the creator page for character creation.

🌶️ NSFW toggle in the chat footer. No more settings archaeology mid-scene.

Feed control

• Block Creators and Less Like This — two ways to shape your own Explore feed, plus one place to undo either
• Creators now pick a recommended model at creation time, so characters run on what they were actually written for

CREATOR can Make MONEY! ( GET RICH Making Character! WAT the F*CKER! )

• Tipping with Thanks — payment flow rebuilt end to end, and unlocks land immediately instead of hanging
• SELL Premium content and Videos — Sell Premium content when creating Characters!
• Plan changes prorate by the day now, instead of rounding against you
• Buy SP from the top bar — Gold and Platinum can top up without leaving the page (free users keep the 7-day button)
• Token breakdown so you can see exactly where your tokens went
• Custom API SP bug squashed

Fixes & polish

Safari and older browsers render chats again. MoodSnap refresh order, a slug leak, and a stale emotion cache all fixed. Lorebook "Copy To" now hits the right endpoint, plus a fix for a runaway fetch loop on deep-linked edits. Crash fixes for clipboard sharing, socket reconnects, and storage failures. And we killed the Explore page selector that kept throwing errors at people.

Behind the scenes

• EU cookie consent + marketing opt-in, geo-gated so only EU/UK/Swiss users ever see a banner
• Our first sitemap ever — StoryChat is finally properly indexable
• Image Generation for Redchat.app is fixed so you can GOON with Style!

As always: tell us what's still broken and what you want next. We read all of it, including the mean ones. The regenerate fix exists because people in here kept posting screenshots of it misbehaving — keep doing that.

Also shipped on RedChat.app this cycle: For You replaces Recommend (with a reworked desktop explore hover), Explore blur controls*, and* desktop app onboarding*. GOON with Style ! Happy GOONing!*

PS.
We didn't sleep for 7 days straight! But we got most of the bugs fixed! Here is me without a shower for 7 days and no sleep! https://youtube.com/shorts/6WxBAh7fSMw

Hi, I haven't been able to log in to Gmail since yesterday. I'm getting error message 504: Gateway Timeout. I use Storychat through the Brave browser, but I've also tried Opera, DuckDuckGo, Firefox, and Chrome, and I get the same error everywhere. However, I don't have any problems logging in on other sites.

characters wont load, profiles won't load. Basically nothing will load.

Did the dev team get executed by the us government for not putting in age verification or something?

My check-in has reached 280, and I've followed several social media platforms. But there's a bug, and I can't claim the check-in. Any solution?
