We will try the horror scenarios of AIdventure!

[ 2024-10-26 12:52:22 CET ] [ Original post ]

Howdy adventurers, Today, Im releasing an exciting new version. It will be in open beta for now. If you want to experiment the newest AIs and a faster generation, you should give this beta a try! This also introduce the assisted generation, more detail about this below.

Changelog

• Implemented the assisted generation
• Added a wiki page about the assisted generation
• Added support for Llama AIs.
• Added open_llama_3b_v2, Llama-2-7b and Llama-2-7b-chat AIs to the game.

Nvidia driver update

If you didnt update your drivers since a while, you might need to do so. The server will print an error about your nvidia card not being up-to-date.

For users on Itch

Updating the environment on Windows will download ~3GB of data, but the processing might take some minutes. Be patient.

What is assisted generation?

It is using a small AI (the assistant) to accelerate the processing of your prompt. The assistant will process your inputs and deduce what words come next, then it will ask the big AI to confirm the result. Here is a video (thanks to Hugging Face for their videos) explaining what happens without the assisted generation Video Now, lets have a look at what happens when you use an assistant video For more details, you can read their article here: https://huggingface.co/blog/assisted-generation

Hello everyone, Im publishing a dev log for this month with an important info!

New job

I finished my job at the university last month. I should have a new job in the following weeks. But, this job will be a full-time one. I found out part-time is hard/impossible to find in my country in my domain. Everyone wants to hire you for endless contracts at full-time (which is good, but not what I needed). But there is something cool about this job. In 2 years, I will be allowed to turn it into a stable part-time job. Therefore, it will ensure I can both live and work on my company. So thats a good point. Of course, it means AIdventures development will SLOW DOWN until that time. Because of it, I will be focusing on small tasks and dont implement new features, small tasks like quality of life (QoL), text to speech, bug fixes, auto-translation, that kind of stuff. So, AIdventure should still get better, but without anything significant change.

Epic game release and adult content :O (Click bait)

I first planned to release AIdventure on Epic the 1st May, but it was impossible because I forgot I had NSFW AIs downloadable, and Epic doesnt accept adult games. So it delayed the launch. But, good point is, I will soon publish a SFW version on Itch as well, in case parents want to show this game to their kids.

Experimental version available

As I said, I will focus on QoL improvements and bug fixes. You can see on this graph all my tasks organized by area.
As you can see, I have much to do! Im going to publish it as often as I can in the experimental branch on Steam. Dont hesitate to try it and give me feed back about the changes!

Thanks to my supporters

Thank you for supporting me on Ko-fi!

• Marco,
• Cynder,
• SirFactorofX
• Zarilain
• patman124

You can support me, too, on Ko-Fi.

Thank you for reading this report :). See you next time.

[ 2024-05-02 09:28:02 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi everyone. Im releasing a patch today. Its focusing on quality of life improvements and bug fixes.

• Fixed the extreme and major success of rolls being (x < stat/5 and x < stats/2 where it should be <= instead.)

Rate the game and review it!

If you like my work and want to help me, please, review AIdventure on Steam or rate it on Itch! Its very important and can help me a lot!
Thank you for reading this report :). See you next time.

What next?

I will give more info in the next community report (coming out in 1-2 weeks). But I will focus on quality of life improvements and bug fixes during a few weeks. See you!

[ 2024-04-26 12:49:48 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi everyone, Im publishing a new community report. Its been 2 months since the last report (January) because February was very busy.

New jobs

As you probably know (from my announcement about my Ko-fi page). I have to work once again (on something else than AIdventure) to pay the bills. From February to April, Im giving lessons at university to teach programming. Its cool but takes a good part of my time (as I have to write courses). After April, I will be looking for full-time jobs (I hope to find some with short duration to not put AIdventure on hold for too long!) No worries, AIdventures development will only be on halt during that time (I plan to not spend all my free time working on AIdventure like I did in 2022-2023). Im never going to cancel it! The development will resume at the end of my contract (I will have more specific info once I actually find a full-time job).

The 2.0 rush

As you maybe noticed, the release of the 2.0 happened a few days before the Steam Remote Play festival. It was my intention since November to publish the 2.0 by that time and announce the support of the Remote Play Together. Im satisfied by this new version, it looks awesome and thanks to the beta testers it was a good release.

AIdventure coming out on Epic Games

AIdventure should be released on Epic Games by the end of the month (if everything goes smoothly). The point of releasing the game on more shops is to increase the visibility, hence, the sales (money)

Localization

If you follow every update, you also noticed I released the game in French, Russian and Turkish. I always planned to support many languages, and the 2.0 is a good base for exporting the game to more markets. I will support more languages in the following weeks. It costs money, but I think its worth.

The next big update???

For now, I had no time to decide what will be the next big update (Maybe the RPG extension). I have been working on legal stuff, localization, the new shop and fixing small problems. So, I will soon have a look at the possible new updates and create a poll. My supporters on Ko-fi will be able to vote for the next feature!

The Ko-fi page

You can find all the information about the Ko-fi page on https://www.lyaaaaagames.com/blog/subscription_announcement/ This is a way to increase my income and allow (maybe one day) to work full-time on AIdventure without losing money.

Rate the game and review it!

If you like my work and want to help me, please, review AIdventure on Steam or rate it on Itch! Its very important and can help me a lot!
Thank you for reading this report :). See you next time.

If you cant, or dont want to support me more (by buying the game, you already support me), you always can review and rate the game on Itch and Steam! Its free, and very helpful!

So, what am I offering?

Subscribe now and enjoy a -25% lifetime discount!

The members who will subscribe before the 13th will enjoy a -25% lifetime discount on their subscription! You have no code or anything special to do. I will simply raise the price in one week.

Why am I accepting subscriptions?

AIdventure is a project I love. At first, it was a simple Python file to experiment text generation. I was using AIdungeon and was enjoying it. Then, Latitude changed some things and I hated it! (Spying on me was also a very bad habit of them) Then, I thought Alright, if I cant play AIdungeon as I want, I will make my own! (its probably a very bad behaviour, not sure, lol). At the same time, I lost my job (Covid, you know) and got 4 months of free time ahead of me! So I worked full-time on this nameless prototype. I came up with a name and the 25 December 2021, I rushed the publication. (No joke!, see this proof)
I couldnt actually believe that much people would find it cool! All your feed-back convinced me it was worth finishing this project! After this, I worked when I had free time (mostly on my week ends and vacations) on this game. And since September 2023 until today, I worked full-time on it once again! While It was great to make progress, my bank account didnt like it! :) So Im now going to work (full time / part time) again. This subscription system is a safe solution to get money while working on AIdventure. Thats why Im starting it! And of course, if I can get enough, it will mean I can work full-time on AIdventure!

Subscribe before the discount ends!

Support me on https://ko-fi.com/lyaaaaagames

Why not using Patreon?

Because it takes 12% (as simple as that). If you are believing in me enough to give me your support, I believe you would also like me to get most of the money you are spending! So I prefer using Ko-fi. Here is a small list of benefits of not using Patreon: [olist]

100% (tax not counted) of the money you spend is sent to me (quite a good reason, I think)

You dont require an account to support (Just an email to support as a guest. You can create an account, though.)

[/olist]

Will it be possible to change of package or cancel a subscription?

Yes, you will be able to manage your membership at any time! Just know you will lose your lifetime discount if you change after the discount period. To keep it, you will have to email me, so I can manage it. I will also handle refunds if you ever need. You can read the full refunds policy here

Important instructions

If you are upgrading from the 1.5 to the 2.0 you should read this. [olist]

[/olist]

• models/

[olist]

[/olist]

• Windows: %APPDATA%\aidventure\models
• Linux: ~/.local/share/aidventure\models Might vary.

To simplify moving your AIs, you can open the game, go to the AI options, and click on Open AI folder, then move your AIs here (the new folders will already be created).

Changes

• Upgraded the engine (Godot 3.5 Godot 4.2)

• AIs are now directly downloaded in the right folder (They are no longer moved after the download).
• Added School-Setting tag (cuz why not. Suggest new tags if you want).
• Changing the point of view in the settings doesnt require restarting the game any more.
• Fixed two English mistakes in some default scenarios

New content

• A small sanctuary, scenario by Nyghtfall.
• A new menu to interact with the Steam Workshop
• Lore books from the Steam Workshop are now usable in the game!
• A notification system.

• Downloaded custom AIs are now automatically formatted to be optimized for the game.

Full rework of the UI

• The whole theme (overall style of the game) has been changed. Theme by Azagaya
• Changed the main menu.
• The input bar now displays a progress bar (based on the max generation time allowed).
• You can now edit the story by double-clicking on it.

• New editors to edit the scenarios and lore books.
• The new editors can now filter content (tags, language, author).
• Lorebooks downloaded from the Steam Workshop now appear in the list of available lore books.

• Created a server menu used to control it in real time.
• New menu to manage the Generators and Translators.

• Fixed contract with Satan.
• Fixed the escape menu not working when resizing the game.

Under the hood

• Rewrote the code managing your stories.
• Rewrote the code managing Scenarios.
• Rewrote the code managing Lore books.
• Rewrote the code managing settings.
• Debouched neighbours plumbing.
• Rewrote the code handling the translation.
• Rewrote the code managing saving
• Rewrote the code managing AIs

Removed content (Temporally!)

• No localization. I changed the system to manage the translations. So I need to transfer a lot of stuff.
• Connecting to a remote server isnt working for now
• Removed the Console as it is not compatible with Godot 4 (and was pretty useless)

To conclude

I probably forgot stuff. I honestly dont want to inspect the 500 changes one by one. Don't forget to write a review of the game to help me ;).

[ 2024-02-09 14:07:01 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi everyone, Im publishing a hotfix for the 2.0.0.BETA. It fixes a few urgent problems.

Important info about AIs

The AIs are now stored in a new folder. Instead of being in the games folder, they will now be in the users data folder. To move your AIs, open the old folder path/to/game/models and move them to this folder: Windows: %APPDATA%\aidventure\models Linux: ~/.local/share/aidventure\models Dont forget to use the new hierarchy: models/ -- translators/ -- generators/ -- customs/

Changelog

• The text inside the input bar will now be wrapped (instead of having a horizontal scroll bar).
• Fixed the lorebook not being saved when editing it during a game.
• The text inside the notification wont be clipped any more.
• Fixed the download error of AIs.
• Fixed the list of saves expending over its boundaries.
• Updated the server logs display to scroll down automatically as new text appears.
• Disabled the button load translator until you select a translator.
• Fixed duplication in the context leading to the AI repeating your inputs.
• Fixed the context and memory being repeated in the AIs output when using the automatic translation

What next?

I have more stuff to fix and the localization to update. But you can expect the stable release for the 12th.

[ 2024-02-05 15:19:11 CET ] [ Original post ]

[previewyoutube=cGWQdch_ycM;full][/previewyoutube]

AIdventure 2.0.0 is almost ready.

You can already test it by downloading the experimental version!
Because its already 648 modified files and more than 400 commits, the changelog will be published later. Important point. The path for the AIs changed. Make sure to follow this new folder tree and to move your AIs to keep them. - models/ -- generators/ move your generators here -- customs/ move customs ais here -- translators/ move translators here Moreover, some less important features are disabled until the release in stable. Im looking forward to hearing your feedbacks.

[ 2024-02-02 17:05:13 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi everyone, for this month Im publishing a small report because the priority is to release the 2.0.0 as fast as possible. As I explained in my last report, the rework of the UI led to a lot of stuff being rewritten. Therefore, the next version wont be tagged 1.6.0 but 2.0.0.

The new theme

The artist working on the new theme is almost done, and the theme will be ready by the time I finish the 2.0.0 The new theme
I also plan to allow the users to load the theme with different colours (Though, this might not be ready for the 2.0.0) or custom themes.

Merging lorebook

In the future release, it will also be possible to merge lorebooks (even from the Steam Workshop) together! Merging three lorebooks together

Support of custom AIs

The support of the custom AIs will finally be back! Say farewell to the annoying procedure to test a new AI. Just click on download custom AI, enter its name and wait until the end of the download! Moreover, the AI will be saved in small parts to be as optimized as supported AIs! Of course, as they arent tested before, they might not work. But it will be way simpler to try out.

Result of the Indie Awards on IndieDB.

IndieDB published the best Indies (selected by the editors and the players). https://www.indiedb.com/groups/2023-indie-of-the-year-awards/articles Sadly, AIdventure didnt make it to the top 10. But making it to the top 100 was already a huge achievement! We will make it to the top 10 at the end of this year ;)

Thank you very much for reading. Stay tuned as the 2.0.0 is getting closer.

Hello everyone. I'm publishing a small patch. It should be the last one before the 1.6.0.

Changelog

Client

- Fixed the "copying and pasting" error (Making the AI repeating the story/memory/lore book 'randomly') - Fixed the first person mod not working as expected. - Updated the German localization. Thanks to Nyghtfall - Fixed the last unfinished sentence of the user's input being cut if the auto translation is enabled. - Fixed the crash when clicking on edit button in the load menu if no save is selected - Fixed the cancel button removing the last generated output. - Updated the code related to text manipulation The copying and pasting error is due to the AI removing whitespace before punctuation. If you encounter this error again, open and close the memory, save the story and open each entry of the lore book. The game will correct the typo by itself, and it shouldn't happen again.
Don't forget, the writing contest is still going on! Write a scenario and send it to me before the 29/10/2023! More info at https://www.lyaaaaagames.com/blog/writing_contest_10_2023/

Report on https://www.lyaaaaagames.com/blog/report_10_2023/

[ 2023-10-04 08:02:23 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello everyone. Today I'm releasing a long awaited patch. It fixes bugs, expand the number of compatible graphical cards and greatly improve the performances. With all these changes you will have to redownload the AIs! You can delete the old ones.

Changelog

Summary

Here is a little summary of the improvements - No more memory peak when the AI is loading. - The possibility to specify how much memory you allow (on both CPU and GPU). - The option to use a folder to write data instead of storing it in the memory (It's called offloading). - Many new options for those who like to experiment. - AI split into parts of 200 MB to allow a better memory management.

Client

- Added 8 options. Here is a list of the most useful: - Offload model (Instead of running out of memory, the server will write on your disk) - limit_memory (Allows you to specify a maximum of memory for the server*) - gpu_max_memory (The maximum VRAM allowed) - cpu_max_memory (The maximum RAM allowed) - All the files needed for a model are now saved in the same folder. - Added `accessible_regular` font for better accessibility. - Updated the credits. - Fixed the server's logs never being displayed in the client. - Fixed an error when loading scenarios from the Steam Workshop. - Added the GPT4All-J model (Please, give me feedback about this model :)) * The limit of memory isn't perfect. It's a limit only for loading AIs. During the generation you will go above it.

AIs

- The AIs have all been modified (cut into small parts) to optimize their performances. You can learn more about how it works in this video [previewyoutube=MWCSGj9jEAo;full][/previewyoutube]

Server

- Updated the dependencies (It makes compatible many graphical cards). - The server is now capable to use both the CPU and GPU at the same time. Greatly improving the performances for users owning a compatible GPU. - Updated the config file to give more control over the server when in self-hosting mod. You can find a full changelog of the server on GitHub https://github.com/LyaaaaaGames/AIdventure_Server/compare/v1.2.2...v1.3.0

[ 2023-09-25 10:26:10 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello, today I'm publishing a patch to the experimental version. All the changes added in the 1.5.2 should be released in the stable version in a few days.

Changelog

Client

- Added a more readable font. - Updated localization - The KoboldAI/GPT-J-6B-Adventure and KoboldAI/GPT-J-6B-Skein models are now optimized for better performances! (Thanks to Patman124 for splitting them) - Updated the credits - Fixed the server's logs not being displayed in the client after a crash. - Fixed the translators not being downloaded. (Bug present only in the 1.5.2) - Fixed an error and an omission in the Steam Workshop editing menu. - Fixed the error when loading a scenario from Steam Workshop. Known issue - It's impossible to load custom fonts for now. - The client might display as missing the downloaded models.

Server

- Fixed the logs being erased when the server shutdowns. - Improved the logs. - Fixed the translators not loading. (Bug present in the 1.3.0 of the server only) (Full changelog of the server here: https://github.com/LyaaaaaGames/AIdventure_Server/releases/tag/v1.3.0-BETA.1)

Hello, today I'm releasing a big update! It doesn't add any content but greatly improve the performances of the game. Because it brings a lot of breaking changes, it will remain in experimental for some time. To use this new version, enable it in the beta tab on Steam.

Limitations

- The models KoboldAI/GPT-J-6B-Adventure and KoboldAI/GPT-J-6B-Skein aren't supporting the new version yet. - You have to redownload all the models.

Client

- Made compatible the client with the new server's version. - The AI's files are now all stored in the same folder in `models` - Added many new options to optimize the performances. - Added an option to allow the server to download the AI by itself (It will be useful for custom models, later).

Server

- The server can now run the AI on both the GPU and CPU at the same time. - No more memory peak when loading the AI - Added an option to limit the memory used (for both the GPU and CPU) - Added an option to write data in a folder instead of using the memory - The config file has now much more options. Full server's changelog here

[ 2023-05-13 11:11:34 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hello everyone. Today I'm releasing a long awaited (for some of you) patch. I'm only releasing it in beta for now because it can have big unexpected impacts. Therefore, I believe it is safer to make it available only for volunteers for now. To use it, you will have to enable the "experimental" beta in the game's settings on Steam.

Changelog

- Updated the dependencies of the server. Detailed changelog of the server, here - Updated the installer to download the new dependencies. - Updated the client to replace max_length parameter by max_token_length which is more efficient. - Updated the Polish translation.

Nvidia 30k cards GPU problems

This new version should fix the problem for the Nvidia 30xx cards not working.

Hi everyone. For this month I publish another small report !

Server's dependencies

I updated the server and published a new version. It will be shipped with the game in the next release. The next release should come out by the end of the month or May. However, an experimental version (for those who can't wait) should come out earlier! I did some stats, and I'm happy to tell you the generation is now a bit faster. It is ~10% faster (9.5% for generation with CPU and 12% for GPU generation). Stats made with gpt2-large (for the CPU) and gpt2-medium (for the GPU) The bigger the AI the more significant will be this improvement.

My current focus

Because of my limited time, I will focus mainly on fixing bugs and improving the server. About the server, I would like to implement the usage of both the CPU and GPU at the same time. This would be great for users willing to run the big AIs.

A guide for players

As I said in the last report, we now have a very good and complete guide on Steam I recommend reading it. You will learn something (or many things) new! Thank you for reading!

[ 2023-04-02 10:02:22 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi everyone. This month it will be a very small report because not much happened! As I said in the previous report. I have a full time job and little time to work on AIdventure.

The update of the server's dependencies

The server runs on top of Transformers. The transformers' library had many updates and I plan to upgrade to a more recent version. By updating I hope to improve the stability, the performances and fix the GPU not working for some cards.

A guide for players

A community member, patman124, created a very good and complete guide on Steam. You can read it on Steam That's all for this month!

[ 2023-02-25 15:38:21 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi everyone. I'm releasing the 1.5.1 patch today!

Changelog

- The tokens files are now shipped with the game. They are no longer downloaded in game. - Fixed the English option missing in the workshop upload menu. - Cleared up the logs. - Fixed the discord link. - Fixed the "Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt--en not found" error.

Autotranslation

- Added Japanese auto translation. - Fixed the Turkish auto translation. - Removed the Korean from the auto translation options (Until I find a proper AI)

[ 2023-01-07 09:23:15 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hi everyone. I wish you happy new year. Today's come out the first report of 2023. A few days ago I released the 1.5.0 which introduced the Steam Workshop. Now the next updates will be small patches to fix some problems.

The Korean translator

In the 1.5.0 I tried a new type of AI to support the Korean. It was a failure and the Korean will be removed from the game until I have decent results. Sorry for the false hope. The Turkish translator has the same problem, but I'm replacing it with another one which gave good results during my tests.

This year's plan

I'm still employed full time. This mean I won't have much time to update the game. During December, I had a lot of free time and managed to work a lot on AIdventure but, it was an exception. The next big update should be a full rework of the interface. The actual UI is... It is what it is. It will make the whole experience smoother for new players and nicer for users playing in full screen. After the UI update, I should be working on the extension of the RPG system. This update should bring a lot of cool new features and bring AIdventure closer to its final state. However, because it will add new stuff it will also take more time! I can't give any release date.
