Welcome back to "This Week on StoryCo," your weekly source for all the exciting updates and happenings within our vibrant community!

Whether you’re a fan seeking a new story to dive into or a creator searching for the tools to bring your creative vision to life, we've got you covered.

Let’s dive into this week’s highlights!

I’ll Keep Your Secret by toastbuncomics is now live at Story.co/stories/ill-keep-your-secret!

In this slice of life romance, Hyejin, a successful vTuber with aspirations of becoming an idol, conceals her online life from her day job. However, when the CEO's son, Daehyun, uncovers her true identity, he proposes a deal: keep her secret in exchange for pretending to be his girlfriend to please his parents!

Audrey (AKA “toastbuncomics”) has been a dedicated webcomic artist ever since discovering webcomics in 2018 and was inspired to start creating her own. Over the past few years, Audrey has fallen in love with the creative process and has gained valuable experience, which she now eagerly shares with aspiring webcomic artists.

Rangi and Valeria are on a roll after successfully advising “Overprotective Dad” on GenZ phone privacy in Chapter 1 and releasing some good ol’ steam in Chapter 2. Let’s see how long our problematic devil-angel duo can keep the great work coming when they’re faced with an even bigger moral dilemma.

A summary of what to expect in Chapter 3 straight from the creator, Duke:

Valeria will have to face the consequences of her own actions after finding out the man she's being paid to save is the very same person she bullied not five minutes ago. Helping him is hard enough, but she also has the displeasure of having to dispose of that red weirdo in the glasses who won't leave her alone. What god did she piss off to wind up in this situation and how can she murder them?

Speaking of Valeria: Duke Stewart included his fans in the selection process for the Valeria and Narrator Voice Performance Co/Creates by posting videos on Instagram showcasing different voice performances overlaid on image of Valeria and the Narrator.

Fans commented on their favorite and based on their feedback, MelZQ and Maria Corcobado were chosen for the roles of Valeria and the Narrator, respectively.

We love seeing creators and fans connect on this level and we can't wait to see how the community leaves their mark on the world of DMC!

Congratulations, MelZQ and Maria! Their performances will be integrated into the story shortly. In the meantime, check out the first three Chapters of Devil May Care here.

This week’s Co/Create spotlight is for visual artists!

Specifically, the Subterranean Story Artist Co/Create opportunity!

Subterranean follows Greg, an eccentric empty-nester whose mundane life is upended by an invitation to a mysterious underground world. Guided by a gigantic talking bug, Greg navigates a realm of fantastical creatures and surreal landscapes.

Alana has written this incredible script and is looking for an artist to create the visual aesthetic for the entire story. So if you’re an artist with a unique style that can bring this underground world to life, this is the Co/Create for you!

Learn more about the story and creator Alana Moskowitz on the StoryCo landing page and check out the moodboard on Pinterest for inspiration on what to submit.

We’re excited to introduce a new feature on StoryCo: SFX generation!

Our platform will read your script and can automatically suggest and generate sound effects based on script cues. Creators can also enter a prompt into the platform and generate customized sound effects to their liking.

So whether it’s a “beach bonfire” or a “rustling forest trees” or a “haunted garbage disposal,” you can now generate immersive audio elements to your narratives on the StoryCo platform.
