NE v1.6.20

Welcome to Narrative Engine v1.6.20! This release brings major systems overhauls, including a brand new Loot Engine, fully realized NPC Agency, NPC Knowledge mapping, and robust UI/performance tuning.

🎒 Manual-MVP Loot Engine

  • Loot Tables (loot.json): Integrated a structured loot definition list.
  • Pre-roll Modals: Roll and preview item rewards directly before committing them to the ledger.
  • Interactive Tagging: Generates structured item tags for the GM storyteller LLM.

👥 NPC Agency & Evolution

  • Proximity Heartbeat: Off-screen tick engine simulates NPC activity based on geography, faction, and relationships.
  • Relationship Dial & Affinity: Tracks and updates NPC affinity levels dynamically.
  • Inner Repression & Masking: Allows NPCs to hide hostile or friendly feelings behind outward social masks.

🧠 NPC Omniscience Cage (Knowledge System)

  • Knowledge Isolation: Keeps track of exactly what each NPC does and doesn't know.
  • Similarity Checking: Extracts facts/lore dynamically to prevent NPCs from acting on player-exclusive information.
  • Compendium UI: Added interface to inspect and audit known facts per NPC.

🖼️ Scene Illustration & Portrait Gallery

  • Dynamic Generation: Prompts scene illustrations and NPC portraits in multiple artistic styles.
  • Gallery Tab: Integrated a persistent Gallery viewer directly inside the context drawer.

⚡ Performance & Cache Optimization

  • Stable Prompt Caching: Optimized prompt construction for high cache-hit rates, including telemetry reporting for DeepSeek cache hits.
  • Low-Memory Embedding Pool: Restructured background embedding workers (debounced scheduler, idle timeouts, pool caps) to prevent OOM crashes on low-spec mobile devices.
  • Zustand Memoization: Substantially reduced React render loops on critical chat bubbles.

🛠️ UX & Quality of Life

  • De-cluttered Header: Transitioned to an optimized 4-icon header layout with a custom quick dial panel.
  • Safe-area Aware Layout: Native safe-area padding adjustments.
  • Emoji / Symbol Fallback: Added system fallbacks to eradicate tofu characters.
  • Cleaned Combat Remnants: Removed legacy native combat slices to focus on rich, narrative-driven roleplaying.
