## September 2026
### Recreate a body
Gameplay is now something you rebuild inside the platform. Request any gameplay as a template, a delivered template opens in the [Recreate Body studio](/recreate-body#the-studio), where you change the gameplay asset by asset and then build a new video from your choices.
**Requesting the template**
* **Use as is** turns the competitor's gameplay body into a template with no reference material, ready for you to take control of. See [Request a body template](/request-body-template).
* **Customise with references** takes up to **5** files so the team builds to your brief. Supported formats are jpg, png, mp4, mp3, pdf and html, so a storyboard, a reference clip, a soundtrack and a gameplay plan can all go in the same request.
* **Additional details** is a free text field for the parts a file cannot express, such as which mechanic to feature or how the level should resolve.
**Working through the assets**
* [Replaceable assets](/recreate-body#replaceable-assets) lists every element of the gameplay you can change, each with its own row.
* Each row shows the asset name, how many times it appears in the footage, for example `White tile ×40` or `Player photo · 1 ×1`, and which operation applies to it.
* Assets you have finished carry a **Generated** state on the row, so you can see at a glance what is done.
**The three operations**
Covered in full under [the three operations](/recreate-body#the-three-operations).
| Operation | What it changes | What you give it |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Re-texture** | The surface of the asset, keeping its shape. | An image, a prompt, or both. |
| **Replace** | Swaps the object itself for a new one. | An image, a prompt, or both, then a confirmation so the image can become a 3D model. |
| **Re-color** | The colour, and nothing else. | A hex code. |
**Checking a swap before you commit**
* Every generation lays out three panels: the **2D Model** on its own, the **Original frame** from the video, and the **Recreated frame** with your new asset in place.
* [Select as final asset](/recreate-body#set-an-asset-as-final) locks your choice in, and the row on the left swaps to a thumbnail of what you picked.
* **Edit image** adjusts the same asset without starting over, and **Remove final asset** puts the original back.
**Building the video**
* [Generate](/recreate-body#generate-the-video) builds the video using every asset you set as final. Anything you left alone stays as it was.
* Several video generations can run in parallel, so you do not have to wait on one before trying a different combination.
* A typical 45 second video takes around 20 minutes, so start it and carry on with something else.
* Finished bodies come back to the card in [Competitor Research](/competitor-research) as **Original + N recreations**, and go straight into [Video Studio](/video-studio) through **Generate Ads**.
* [Request Custom Template](/recreate-body#request-a-custom-template) sits at the bottom of the panel if the delivered templates do not cover what you have in mind.
Recreate a body, and [Request a body template](/request-body-template) for the request flow.
### Hook recreation improvements
Two changes to how [recreated hooks](/recreate-hook) come back.
* **Text now matches the source.** Copy rendered into a recreated hook comes back as the line you gave it rather than a garbled version of it, so overlay text is usable without a second pass.
* **Recoverable failures retry on their own.** A generation that hits a common problem such as a prompt-limit error or a temporary failure retries automatically instead of stopping at the first attempt.
* **A clearer explanation when one cannot finish.** If a recreation genuinely fails, the message tells you what happened rather than leaving you to guess. The job keeps its **Review** action in [Creative jobs](/home#creative-jobs), so a failure is still something you can go and look at.

### Interface updates
The wider changes across the console.
#### **Home**
* The landing screen opens on your [game selector](/home#choose-your-game), the [three product cards](/home#the-three-products), and a [Top performing hooks](/home#top-performing-hooks) feed.
* The feed carries category tabs such as **Top Free Puzzle**, **Top Free Casual** and **ASMR**, with **Explore all** into the full [Competitor Research](/competitor-research) library.
* Cards in the feed behave like library cards, so you can tick one and act on it without going anywhere first. See [reading a card](/competitor-research#reading-a-card).
#### **Creative jobs**
Everything you set running now appears in a [queue you can open from the top bar](/home#creative-jobs) of any screen.
* One row per job, carrying a thumbnail, the asset name, its category and a progress bar that runs off the job's own clock.
* When a job lands, the bar is replaced by **Review**, which opens the screen the work is on and retires the row.
* **Recreation** rows land on that asset's recreate screen with the generation already on the stage, whether that is [Recreate a hook](/recreate-hook) or [Recreate a body](/recreate-body).
* **Variations** rows read **View** rather than Review, because a finished [Video Studio](/video-studio) batch is work to look at rather than a decision waiting on you.
* **Body assets** run in parallel and arrive as a group, so the row reads `1/1 Body assets` and expands to a line per asset, each reviewable on its own.
* The button reports two independent things: a **lime ring** means something is still generating, and a **red count** is how many finished jobs are waiting to be reviewed.
* Starting a batch raises a toast in the corner. Finishing does not, because the red count is the news, and opening the queue clears any outstanding toasts.
* A failed generation grows a red **Failed** badge and keeps its **Review** action, because a failure is an outcome rather than an absence.
Home
#### **Boards you build, and your own uploads**
[Saved assets](/saved-assets) is now a library you build rather than a bookmark list you accumulate.
* **Create board** makes a board for the work in front of you, and each board tile has a menu to rename or delete it. See [Boards](/saved-assets#boards).
* A board carries the same sub-tabs, filters, sort controls and card signals as [Competitor Research](/competitor-research#filters), plus an **End Card** tab, which is where you bring the end cards you later add as a column in [Video Studio](/video-studio).
* **Upload own hook** sits in the top right of a board and follows whichever tab you are on, so you always upload into the right asset type.
**Splitting one video into three assets**
Covered step by step under [uploading your own assets](/saved-assets#uploading-your-own-assets).
* Turn on **Upload Hook?**, **Upload Body?** or **Upload End Card?** for the parts you want out of the video. Anything left off stays at 0.0s and is not uploaded.
* Each part you switch on appears as a section on the timeline under **Set video sections**, with a minimum of **1 second** per section.
* A preview player sits alongside the timeline, and each card shows its length as you drag the handles.
* Under **Save asset for reuse**, tick the boards the assets should go into. Search finds a board by name, and the folder button creates a new one without leaving the modal.
* Ticking more than one board files the same upload in each of them.
Saved assets
#### **Carrying a selection across the library**
* Ticking assets holds them across the **Hook**, **Body**, **Text**, **Audio** and **End Card** tabs, so you can gather a batch as you browse. See [building a batch from research](/competitor-research#building-a-batch-from-research).
* The bar at the bottom reports what you have, for example `3 hooks, 1 body`, and expands to list every pick with its thumbnail, name and asset type.
* Any row can be removed from the bar without going back to find the card.
* **Recreate** and **Generate Ads** both carry a live count of what they will act on.
#### **Bulk recreation**
* **Recreate** on a multi-asset selection opens a confirmation that spells out what will and will not run, for example `2 of 4 selected items will be recreated`. See [recreating in bulk](/competitor-research#recreating-in-bulk).
* Anything excluded is listed with its reason, so a body and a text in the selection show as **Not original hooks**.
* Only original hooks under **30 seconds** can be recreated, and the modal says so before anything starts.
#### **Video Studio**
* [The composer](/video-studio#the-composer) lays out **Hook**, **Hook text**, **Transitions**, **Body**, **Body text**, **End Card** and **Audio** as tracks, each with a live asset count.
* One asset picker serves every track, with [Competitor Research](/competitor-research) and [Saved assets](/saved-assets) as the two sources and a **Total Video Variations** count capped at [100](/video-studio#it-multiplies).
* [Add Text](/video-studio#adding-custom-text) on the Text tab creates copy that is not derived from an existing asset.
* The project list shows each project's elements and variation count, and a project still rendering shows its [progress](/video-studio#track-progress) in place. Finished variations also save to [Projects](/projects).
