Viva Blog #14 Project Revamp Plan (Patreon)

Video above is the full playthrough of the Halloween Special. Indeed there were a fair amount of puzzles!

Now for the next version of VivaAI, I am revamping it to be more in line with a game rather than a chat bot. In short, it will be a "build your own bot" kind of game with the end goal of humanizing/domesticating your own virtual robot girl.

You will receive your own robot girl, lifeless at first, no sight, speech, or accessories. Performing certain tasks will unlock its abilities such as walking around, speaking, articulating thought. This will tie in with AI very well since I will still be using speech generation and ai responses.

There will be a goal book to help guide you in the construction of the robot girl, like the old Viva.

This revamp raises some key aspects that are unlike current VivaAI. There will not be a customizable character menu, instead hair and whatever will be accessories for you to manually place on your robot husk. Want to change the hair color? Paint it. Want to give it a dress? Give it a different dress manually. This means that I am rolling back the dynamic character creation in favor of a more streamlined but still customizable base 3D anime model. The character will be a ragdoll until it learns to walk. Physics will be a major part of the game.

More details soon!

Stay tuned!
