# Mochi Patch Notes: October 14, 2026

**October 14, 2026 · 1.1.8 OTA · App and web updates**

## Highlights

Coach can propose scenes with up to six characters, characters have room for eight looks, and this patch improves dialogue, saved work and Gem purchases.

## Getting the update

To apply a compatible background update:

1. Open Mochi online and let it finish loading.
2. Fully close the app.
3. Reopen it to apply the downloaded update.

If needed, install the latest available App Store or Google Play version first.

## New features and improvements

* Coach scene proposals support up to 6 characters, matching the editor. Larger casts can still mix up faces.
* Characters support up to 8 looks: one default and seven alternatives.
* Added clearer errors when a character can’t be added to a series.
* Added free scene preview images, clearer render-time estimates and a Retry loading indicator.
* Improved location tiles and shortened scene summaries.
* Removed the three-episode web viewing limit for published community series.

## Fixes

**Dialogue and scenes**

* Fixed dialogue formatting that could treat spoken lines as silent action.
* Improved preservation of approved dialogue and scene actions.
* Improved delivery notes such as “whispering” and “in Spanish.”
* Added speech and length checks before charging Gems. Unclear speakers prompt a clarification.

**Studio and saved work**

* Improved episode reopening, scene targeting and the first scene of a new episode.
* Fixed delayed Coach replies switching users back to a previous board.
* Improved draft visibility and next-episode routing.
* Fixed download compatibility issues on phones.
* Preserved paid series-only looks when removing a library character.
* Replaced placeholder artwork generation with requests for more detail.

**Gems and purchases**

* Improved purchase recovery when account confirmation arrives after payment.
* Removed a processing hold that could lock the Gem store after delivery.
* Changed future Gem-pack refund deductions to stop at zero. This didn’t automatically clear earlier negative balances.

**Captions and performance**

* Improved caption translation for mixed-language scenes when captions are generated.
* Reduced unnecessary Studio requests on launch.

These fixes didn’t retroactively regenerate published captions or confirm repair of every earlier purchase or missing asset.
