Release notes
What changed in each version of Doodle Dragon Studio.
1.5.x — Studio
The release that turned Doodle Dragon from a set of drawing tools into a studio for making books.
New
- Projects and books replace the old Sketching, Tracing, and Imagen screens. Work is organised around a project you keep, not a tool you open.
- AI page planning — turn one written idea into editable page text, layouts, and artwork suggestions, with optional matches from your existing Library.
- The illustration recipe — the description and style sent for every AI image are now shown to you in editable fields before anything is generated.
- Page editor with per-page layout overrides, drag-to-reorder, and confirmed page deletion that leaves the page media in Library.
- AI video clips in Economy, Balanced, and Cinematic tiers at four, six, or eight seconds, each individually priced and confirmed.
- AI narration in a choice of voices, alongside the existing recording and audio import.
- Story music with a “lower music under narration” control.
- Project export and import as
.ddstoryarchives, with safe validation. - Plan and credits screen showing the remaining balance and the next reset date, with per-action costs shown before you confirm.
- On-device photo editing — light, contrast, colour, warmth, and the Original, Warm, Storybook, and Clean B&W looks. Free and offline.
Changed
- Repositioned for parents. AI creation belongs to an account holder aged 18 or over. The books remain for everyone.
- Credits replace token quotas. Costs are shown in units you can understand, before you spend them.
- Video is priced per model and duration rather than at one flat rate, so a four-second Economy clip is not charged like an eight-second Cinematic one.
- Failed and safety-refused generations now refund automatically.
Removed
- Tracing mode, its remote image library, and its feedback flow.
- Developmental sketch analysis.
- User-supplied API keys in the production UI. Keys are held server-side.
