How 30 Days Series Mode Remembers Your Story

The master story bible
Written once at setup, it locks the universe's visual style, hard rules, and overall arc — every future episode is planned against this same document.
A persistent reference library
5 reference images built at setup — your cast and key locations — reused in every episode. Up to 2 new references can be added per episode as the story introduces new characters or places, up to 10 total.
Hidden future beats
The planner knows roughly where the story is heading beyond the current episode, but deliberately withholds that from what it reveals — so the story can build toward something without spoiling itself early.
Episode summaries
After each episode, Zyvo records what changed — relationships, new characters, mysteries opened or resolved, and the cliffhanger — and feeds that directly into planning the next one.
One open episode at a time
You can't skip ahead or run two episodes in parallel — each one has to finish before the next is planned, which is exactly what keeps the continuity intact.
Why this matters for the finished video
Real continuity is what separates a series from three unrelated videos in the same setting. Because the story bible and episode summaries carry forward automatically, the cliffhanger you end an episode on can actually pay off later — see how to write one that lands.
