Hello there! It's been a while... hasn't it? It's a long story, things have been kind of okay, kind of not okay... I'll tell you in the next post. The game was actually updated up to Beta 2.3 back in December, but I neglected to publish an update post. Here it is! I'll just keep it straight forward and technical and save the energy for the next post.

Complete changelog (Beta 2.2)

This update was released on October 26 and featured smaller bugfixes as well as the release of Novah's Memento.

Complete changelog (Beta 2.3)

This update was released on December 14 and featured a new dream world, an improved book system and AI thinking functionality.

• Dream worlds are updated.
  • A new dream world is added, called "Neksil mokaratz". It is a large field with beautiful flowers in different hues.
    • Neksil mokaratz isn't available through standard dream-entry means yet. However, Online, there's a latch door...
  • The frost dream world is changed to have more interesting environment.
• Book system is improved.
  • You can now hold multiple books on your character, with each new book consuming one from your inventory.
  • Books no longer require ink to be written in to, but you need one ink to create a new book.
  • Existing books can be found in the pack on the right side and can be written up to 32 pages.
  • Interacting with the bookcase now shows proper emote chat messages.
  • Previous book writing (if present) is no longer accessible.
    • If you'd like to save it, type "/book copy" before updating the game.
• AI thinking functionality is added to your character.
  • It can be set up in the AI panel by entering "/ai" and entering in an endpoint, api key and selecting a model.
  •  Use the AI thinking (like "thinking to yourself") by whispering to yourself.
    • For example, "@Player Hm, what's this about?" where Player is your character name.
  • Your character will respond by looking at the screen and 'think'-talk to you in private.
    • If you'd like your character to say the AI response online, tell it to say it to everyone.
  • This also works if you want to respond to a specific player. This includes their last message that pinged you.
  • For example, "@Player Respond to what Enemy just asked you." (it automatically includes their last pinged message towards you).
  • If you'd like your character to see what you're seeing, tell it so, and the game will show a screenshot. You can also type "/ai look".
    • For example, "@Player Can you take a look at this thing I'm seeing?"
  • If you'd like to start over the conversation from blank (as when starting the game), tell it so. You can also type "/ai clear".
    • For example, "@Player Let's talk about something else, please."
• Various features are added.
  • Two new shirt patterns, as drawn by player Kert, has been added to the token catalog!
  • The camera now has a soft close-up light added for more illuminated close ups. This can be toggled in the settings.
  • A new option "Enable simple vegetation" is added to the settings that disables the plant swaying in the wind.
  • Chat fading transparency and timeout can now be adjusted in the settings.
  • Chat messages starting with question mark and tilde ("?~") now become private thought bubbles.
  • The character selection screen now shows a "players online" notification.
  • You can now share your voice settings to others by typing "/voice info".
  • You can now set your character's personality by typing "/person". This only affects AI conversations.
• Various bugs are fixed.
  • Save settings now more consistently applied on character load.
  • The frost world building stairs are fixed and no longer shoots you up very high.
  • Last whisper target now reflects last incoming whisper rather than last sent whisper.
  • Chat bubbles no longer mysteriously vanish randomly when chatting with others.
