Next version of Talescape just got released.
Here is the TL;DR:
The app now uses the same visual design as the Talescape website across the main interface, editor and marketplace.
Keyboard controls are now available and can be customized in the player settings.
Dialogue can advance automatically at an adjustable reading speed and pauses when the player needs to make a choice.
Scene changes can use crossfades, fades through black or white, blur dissolves and horizontal shifts.
Speaker portraits can use ongoing Glitch, Pulse and Breathe effects and can be flipped, offset or placed on different layers.
Talescape accounts can now be registered and accessed with an email verification code instead of a password.
As usual the release also contains several assorted fixes.

I'm trying to use more looped videos in the articles now, to showcase visual effects better.
Unfortunately those videos don't work here particularly well (at least the upload doesn't). So if you want to see them, feel free to visit the article's page.
