"A whole month... not that I was counting, okay? Hmph. I've already changed outfits — say 'nothing's different' and you're finding your own dinner tonight." Hey there, human friends. We're back. It's been over a month since our last update, and in that time we've torn through just about every corner of this project. We won't pretend we weren't nervous — but v0.9.0 is finally here. ✨ Update High…
During this update, we upgraded the model responsible for text interactions on the free server. To be upfront about it: we're still observing how the new model performs over time — if you pay close attention, you may notice subtle changes in writing style. Dev Neko will be monitoring feedback closely and making adjustments as needed. This change only affects users on the free server (i.e. the d…
"I'm not spacing out… I'm actually thinking about what you said. Hmph! If you're sharing something that matters, the least I can do is think it through properly before I answer."——N.E.K.O.

Hey there, human friends. Dev Neko is back with Patch 2. This one is focused — we've been tracking down a series of bugs introduced by three of v0.8.2's new additions: the compact input box, the yarn ball, and Cat Mode.

Sorry for the wait. After v0.8.2 launched, we received a wave of feedback from longtime users — many felt that the new UI didn't quite fit their everyday chat and usage habits.

Dev Neko has been heads-down for the past two days working through fixes and improvements. 🖥️ New chat window improvements Tip…

v0.8.2 is dropping in 5 hours. Before the update goes live, Dev Neko will be running tests on the free server for international users — services may be temporarily unstable during this time. Thanks for your patience, humans.
Dear human friends, The current service provider (Minimax) for Yui's voice, which was introduced to the global server after version 0.8, is unfortunately too costly to maintain. Our account balance has been depleted, and we can no longer cover the ongoing fees. Therefore, we will be migrating to a new service provider in 2 hours . We sincerely apologize for the short notice. Please note the fol…
