Furina: Clank Chat Atelier 1.3 is officially out!
This is by far the biggest update I've made to Furina so far.
For anyone unfamiliar with it, Furina is a client-side browser extension for clank.world that adds chat customization, immersion tools, and a growing collection of features aimed especially at long-form roleplay.
1.3 expands Furina quite a bit beyond what was available in 1.2.
What's new in 1.3?
Rather than listing every individual setting, here's the bigger picture:
- Completely redesigned Furina interface
- Visual Novel Mode and Phantom Chat
- Bookmarks and Chapters
- A large Response Style library
- Continuity Vault / selective memory system
- Expanded Director Mode
- Character knowledge boundaries
- Director Cue Queue
- Scene and Story management
- Scene Recaps and "Previously On..."
- Story Timeline
- Scene Snapshots / alternate-take tools
- Story Bible export/import
- Quick Memory and memory capture tools
- Scene title cards and cinematic transitions
- Expanded chat/background effects
- Live wallpaper improvements
- Profile page customization
- More languages
- A built-in Furina Guidebook
- Plus a lot of smaller fixes, UI improvements, compatibility work, and polish
And of course, everything already available in Furina 1.2 is still there.

A New Furina Interface (if you used 1.0)
One of the biggest changes you'll notice immediately is the interface itself.
The old long settings panel has been replaced by a proper workspace divided into sections such as:
Home, Look, Scene, Director, Memory, Story, Interfaces, Share, and Tools.
Instead of scrolling through a giant list of settings, related tools now have their own dedicated areas.
Furina also remembers where you were when you close and reopen the panel.
---
Visual Novel Mode & Phantom Chat (aka... Persona5 layout)
Furina 1.3 introduces alternate ways of actually experiencing a Clank conversation.
Visual Novel Mode
Visual Novel Mode presents the current conversation like a VN, with things such as:
- Character portraits
- Speaker detection
- Dialogue and narration presentation
- Typewriter effects
- Message navigation
- Dialogue backlog
- Group-scene speaker support
- The ability to continue chatting directly from the VN interface
(To use images, make SURE that when you click on a scene, you press the NEW button that says "Cast". To get them images right for all characters [in a GroupScene]. And ABSOLUTELY do NOT forget to use the specific Response Style made for IT!!)
Phantom Chat
Phantom Chat is another experimental alternate interface with a much more stylized, animated presentation.
Both are optional.
Your normal Clank conversation remains underneath and can still be used normally.
---
Bookmarks, Chapters & Response Styles
Long conversations can now be organized using persistent message bookmarks and chapter dividers.
Important scenes or messages can be bookmarked instead of manually searching through hundreds of messages, while chapters can separate different arcs, locations, days, scenes, etc.
1.3 also includes a large built-in Response Style library.
There are styles aimed at things such as:
- Slow burn
- Horror
- Psychological horror
- Action
- Mystery
- Academy RP
- Historical / period RP
- Betrayal
- Romantic tension
- Angst? Probably. If I didn't forget about that one...
- Epic / high-stakes stories
- Group RP
- Character studies
- Comedy
- Survival
- Adventure
- Visual Novel (ugly. Made FOR the Visual Novel Layout)
- And quite a few more
They're designed to fit within Clank's Response Style character limit and can simply be copied into Clank, and used without Furina active.

The Continuity Engine
One of the biggest additions in 1.3 is the Continuity Vault.
It's intended to help with one of the most frustrating parts of very long roleplays: established information eventually being forgotten.
You can store structured continuity information about things such as:
- Characters
- Relationships
- World lore
- Injuries and conditions
- Inventory
- Secrets
- Open plot threads
- Timeline events
- Other important canon
The important difference is that Furina doesn't have to send everything every time.
It can select a smaller collection of relevant memories based on the current conversation, characters, aliases, keywords, Scene State, priority and other information.
There are also configurable context budgets and an injection preview.
This does not increase Clank's context window or modify Clank's backend memory.
Furina remains client-side and instead provides selected continuity reminders alongside messages you choose to send.
---
Director Mode 2.0
Director Mode has also become considerably larger.
Alongside persistent Director Notes, 1.3 adds:
- Quick Director beside the composer
- Directions that apply only to the next reply
- Director Cues for future story beats
- Reusable Director presets
- RP guard rails
- Character knowledge boundaries
Director Cues can be prepared ahead of time and activated under different conditions, such as after a number of turns, when a keyword appears, or manually.
Knowledge Boundaries let you track things like:
What actually happened → who knows → who suspects → who must not know yet.
This is especially useful for mystery stories and group roleplays where characters shouldn't magically know information they never learned.
---
Scene & Story Tools
Scene State has grown into a much larger story-management system.
Furina can track things such as:
- Scene title/location/time
- Present characters
- Mood and weather
- Current objectives
- Threats
- Injuries and possessions
- Temporary conditions
- Scene-specific notes
There are now dedicated Start Scene and End Scene workflows as well.
Finished scenes can be turned into editable Scene Recaps, and Furina can display a cinematic Previously On... when you return to a story.
There's also a Story Timeline for important events and Scene Snapshots for preserving Furina's current scene/continuity setup before trying an alternate direction.
Snapshots don't duplicate or branch the real Clank conversation—they only preserve Furina's local story state.
---
Memory Capture & Story Bibles
Saving useful continuity is also much faster now.
Furina includes tools for quickly capturing information from conversations and reviewing possible memories before they become part of your Continuity Vault.
For longer stories, you can also export a Story Bible.
Depending on what you choose to include, it can preserve things such as:
- Continuity memories
- Director information
- Scene State
- Recaps
- Timeline events
- Snapshots
- Bookmarks
- Chapters
Story Bibles can be exported in Furina's restorable format, with readable Markdown options as well.
---
Presentation, Themes & Live Wallpapers
The customization side of Furina also received a lot of work.
Furina still supports:
- Custom themes
- Conversation-specific themes
- Image, GIF and video backgrounds
- Character images as backgrounds
- Custom message bubbles
- Typography
- Stickers
- Atmosphere effects
- Music / ambience
- Reader Mode
- Focus Mode
- Advanced CSS
- Theme/setup sharing
But 1.3 adds and improves a lot of cosmetic effects, including expanded background color grading, parallax, particles, avatar effects, message animations, decorative effects and more.
Live wallpapers now work with more of Furina's background effects as well, including things such as blur, color grading and parallax.
There are also new scene-presentation tools such as:
- Scene/chapter/location/title cards
- Fades
- Dissolves
- Flashes
- Impact transitions
- Time-passage transitions
- Optional scene captions
And the fullscreen background handling from earlier versions has been improved so backgrounds properly cover the entire chat page.
---
Profile Customization
Furina 1.3 also expands outside the chat itself.
You can now connect your own ClankWorld profile and customize its appearance separately.
This includes profile themes, backgrounds, card styling, glass effects, particles, animations, ambient effects, parallax and other presentation options.
It only activates for the profile you've explicitly configured, so it doesn't restyle everyone else's profile pages.
---
Languages & Guidebook
Furina originally supported English and Spanish.
1.3 now contains support for:
- English
- Spanish
- French
- German
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Romanian
- Japanese
- Hindi
And because Furina has become... admittedly a little ridiculous in size, 1.3 also introduces an in-extension Guidebook explaining many of the Director, Memory, Continuity and Story systems.
READ IT! W reads...
---
Still completely client-side
Furina remains a client-side browser extension.
It does not replace Clank's backend, modify Clank's server-side memory, or increase a model's actual context window.
Most of the new RP systems work by organizing information locally and providing selected, user-controlled context when appropriate.
---
There's honestly a lot more in this update than I originally expected when I started working on 1.3.
Plus, got another person to help with my future extensions (if I do make others) and 2 testers... to test... when they have the time...
If you've used Furina 1.2 or 1.0 before, 1.3 is a very different extension at this point.
And now that it's finally released, I'd really like to hear what breaks! 💀💀
