How to create a Group Scene on LiveNovel

Updated September 13, 2026 · By LiveNovel

A Group Scene puts several AI characters in one story so they react to each other, not just to you. This guide covers setting the concept, choosing a cast, picking a mode, and directing the scene as it plays.

What makes a Group Scene different? In a normal chat you talk to one character. In a Group Scene, multiple characters share the same story and respond to one another, which produces an ensemble scene rather than a one-to-one conversation.

How do I set the concept? Start with the concept: the situation that brings the cast together. A tight concept ("a heist crew arguing the night before the job") gives the characters something to push against.

How do I choose the cast? Add existing characters or create scene-only cards for this story. Some community scenes leave free slots so you can add your own characters into the cast.

Which mode should I pick? The mode decides how you take part — for example whether you play one of the characters or stand outside as a director. Choose based on how much you want to act versus steer.

How do I direct the scene? As the scene runs, you can guide who speaks and where events go. This keeps an ensemble from drifting and lets you shape the story beat by beat.

Should I publish the scene or keep it private? Keep the scene private, or publish it so the community can play it. Published scenes appear after moderation.

Frequently asked questions

How many characters can be in a scene? A Group Scene is built around several characters sharing one story. The exact cast is up to you and the scene's free slots.

Do I have to play a character myself? No. Depending on the mode, you can play one of the characters or direct the scene from outside.

Can other people play my scene? Yes, if you publish it. Community scenes can be played by others after moderation.
