You can now generate voiceovers for a whole Discourse task with the click of a button!

After you've determined the text for all the discourse nodes, you can use the "AI Voiceover" button to generate voiceovers for all of the lines of the non-player character. When they are being generated, you could go edit other parts of the task/quest, or wait on the page until it is done.

If you make updates to the text after a voiceover has been generated, you should be prompted to update the audio file, but you will also have the option to keep it.

In the game, the voiceovers will automatically play along with the type-in animation, and the player can play them again if needed.

You can also generate voiceovers for task descriptions and instructions (for 2D mechanics) by simply clicking on the button next to the audio field.

Voiceover for instructions are automatically played in the game, but task descriptions will require a button click.

You can now add audio files to dialogues in the Discourse mechanic!

It works the same way as adding a picture - just select the audio file in the dropdown or add a new file. After selection, you can listen to it by clicking on the icon.

In the game, the type-in animation of the text will match the audio file, and hitting spacebar can skip both the audio and the animation to the next line.

Fixed the bug that if multiple users edit the same quest, sometimes a previous version of the quest will override the changes.

Now AI conversation is added as an option as the activity that's along side the custom manipulative.

If you want to use the feature, please to set up an AI prompt.

We have added (single selection) and (free text entry) as assessment activities for the custom mechanic. They will be displayed along side the embedded modal, as a method to ensure players reach the learning objectives while going to through the embedded activity.

Our next step is to add an option of LLM-led conversation as an alternative for assessment activity.

You can now include arguments in your Discourse tasks. During an argument, the player is able to use gathered evidence and reasoning words to form an argument or persuasive statement.

This differs from our regular branching dialogue in that rather than just choosing from a set of fixed responses, the user is able to . In the future, the evidence can be populated in the 'Knowledge Journal' for tracking regularly until reaching an argument.

We have added a custom mechanic where you can embed a link or code. This mechanic is great for utilizing online resources, such as a math manipulative or an explanation video. We've used it to test with other resources such as Desmos, or special manipulatives added via code.

We are still adding features to this mechanic; we'll be adding the options for assessing activities on the right side, so we can make sure that the player has interacted and learned from whatever is embedded. We welcome any feedback or input on how you would want to use this mechanic!
