New stuff: self hosted AI, translation support, and lots of bug squishing!

20 Feb

hey hey! 👋

Another month, and another pack of cool new things that has been added to the game. This time I focused more on technical aspects of the game: language translations, additional API for text generation, and lots of bug fixes! 🐛

Language selection is now supported!

This time, as planned, I added the support for the translations. Now at the start of the application for the first time, there will be an option to select language. As the first language I added... polish! Mainly because it's the language I know best, so I didn't have to look for proofread. Now I may tell that my game has truly became polished, heh. But thanks to adding the translation support, other languages will be much easier, will mostly be about just filling the column of texts with proper translation. Of course, there may be some issues with languages like font support, or proper spacing... but that's the problem for the future me! 😅
I separated language settings into two: UI and AI. I did it mostly because I assume that some text generation AI models may not be able to support certain languages, but UI could still be translated. For now, by default the AI languages sets as the same as UI, but it can be switched in Settings->Text API->AI Language setting.

Self host text generation - full AI all on your PC! 💻

The second feature added is the support for self hosted text generation! Not only the game doesn't require additional payments for online API, but you are able to play it offline entirely! I added the support for KoboldCpp and Ollama frameworks as they seemed very similar to the OpenAI API. This gives the game a long term life in case something happens to the big AI API providers...
Self hosting has its pluses, but there are some limitations too. They are still much slower compared to OpenAI (on my PC it was about 1-2 minutes, while OpenAI is mostly 4-6 seconds), and is heavily reliant on your hardware, so it may not be advised to run self hosted AI and playing video games at once. But still, the option is available just in case! I added the tutorials in Wizard with translation, but I'm still working on the YouTube tutorials for those.

Fixes, fixes everywhere! 🛠

The other big thing is... me doing lots of small things! 😅 I sent the game to my friends for playtesting and getting feedback. And I got a LOT of things to fix and make more intuitive. Special thanks to Zanti, Adam133 and Archer for helping me squish the bugs! Soo, let me put the changes in a list, in a more organized and short manner. My first official changelog, huhuhuhu! 😁

So here it goes:

Added resetting the chat log after changing the language (mixing up languages may confuse the AI)
Added "Unity-chan is typing..." in chat when API call is in progress
Added proper dialogue line at the end of chat with Uni
Added buttons to copy hyperlinks during API configuration in Wizard
Added a way to exit the game during the first configuration tutorial
Added more error handling during API text generation calls
Added inspecting Unity-chan photos in her room, she tell about them if you do so!
Elevated Mode placeholder text appears now only when the Console Commands consent is enabled
Fixed opening the calendar for selecting the reminder date
Fixed Markdown lists identation formatting when Unity-chan writes in chat
Fixed Unity-chan mixing up comments on scene transition (could sometimes comment entering the mini-game room as if we entered Virus Offense game)
Fixed chat messages in phone not scaling properly and being stuck at the top when first time opened
Fixed music volume setting while watching Candy Rock Star music video
Made scroll in Virus Offense chat stronger (scrolls more text by one scroll move)
Fixed chat and pop-up message showing at once in Virus Offense
Fixed font in polish translation in Virus Offense
Fixed a terrible bug in Virus Offense tutorial, where losing single damage could soft-lock the game
Fixed Unity-chan commenting desktop apps while playing Virus Offense, now she is able to do it only when in desktop
Fixed ragdoll system when using other skins
Fixed door dragging having improper jump to the cursor
Fixed Unity-chan falling outside the screen (she returns after few seconds if that occurs)
Fixed the "Send Image/Screenshot" button visible in chat, when text API is different than OpenAI - there's no API support for image messages outside of it
Fixed Unity-chan starting with improper animation at the first entrance sequence
Fixed head pats detection!
Fixed ai info about Unity-chan's mom, found that her canon mom is Mimori Otori, a biology scientist
Fixed graphic issues with dialogue with final boss of Virus Offense
Fixed issue with exiting the game in Virus Mode after losing

Thank you for reading! For the next task I plan to focus on making the game UI more pleasing to the eye, and try to prepare the first game trailer.

Until next time, byee~!

Unity-Chan: Desktop Companion

CBT?

Since Unity-chan does not get mentioned almost at all and the idea of having her as a desktop companion was already in my mind, I am now wondering if any kind of Closed Beta testing will be available to be signed up to.

💖 Happy Valentine's Day! 💖

Kohaku is feeling the love! 🎈🎈🎈 We've surpassed 300 Steam Wishlists and are now closing in on 400! Thank you all for your support!

To celebrate, here's a special Valentine's card featuring Unity-Chan holding three balloons—one for every hundred Wishlists we've hit so far! 🎉

If you haven’t yet, add the game to your Wishlist and help us reach the next milestone - 500! 🧡🤎🧡🤎🧡

As for the quick updates, I managed to add both UI and AI translation support and worked on game stability. I sent the game to few of my closest friends to get feedback and to find all bugs I couldn't find myself. I'll list all changes in more detail in the next post.

Thank you for your support and Happy Valentines Day!

Meet new boss character in Virus Offense minigame!

10 Jan

Hello in 2025! <3

We still are talking about the development of the mini-game. This time I will focus on the final boss you meet at the end of it.

That said, the post contains little spoilers for that segment of the game. I still won't reveal all the mechanics and plot elements of the gameplay, so it is relatively safe. Just a hint in case you'd like to delve into the game blindly once it releases - if so, this post is NOT for you! :D

So, who is the boss?

Mini game main mode gameplay is separated into nodes, once you reach the last one you and Unity-chan will meet the character that was responsible for corrupting the system. Her name is Creeper - named after the first virus that was created, back in 1971! (Any name references to a popular blocky game are purely coincidental, please dont's sue me T.T). The Creeper virus wasn't very malicious, the only thing it did was displaying on screen "I'm the Creeper: Catch me if you can!". By today's standards it would be considered just a mild pop-up ad! :D

Creeper-chan is a virus girl that resides by herself in the system. While confident about her own skills and might, she still is the first virus ever made. It makes her quite outdated compared to modern security systems, making her visit only corners of the cyber space. That's how she ended up in our game.
She might not know anything about modern games, art or memes. But she surely will find common language with someone enjoying old school and retro!

During the play-through you and Unity-chan will have to fight the Creeper-chan to beat the level, but that doesn't mean she is a irredeemable villain. There will be chances to let her chat with you, understand her point of view. After all, being the old virus, chased by every security system might be quite lonely...
Creeper also likes to show her intentions by changing her visuals too. She has holographic hair that switches colors. If she feels angry, ready to battle or overly confident her hair switches to red, and green when being curious or friendly. That duality also translates into her personality, but I'll let you explore it yourself during the play through! :>

Creeper's dialogue portraits were made by Uruka, go check them out there! (X[x.com])

Thank you for reading! I hope you like the new character introduced into the game. More features and improvements are coming, this time I'll focus more on the main game!

And Happy New Year!!!
