AI2U: With You 'Til The End · published
Unrelated to the patch, but a quick reminder: the AI2U Soundtrack's price will increase as soon as the clock hits midnight (EDT)!! These next few hours are your last chance to grab the OST for $4.99 before it moves to $6.99 (USD). Alternatively, you can try your luck at winning an OST Steam key by participating in our MerMay / Yandere Sirens Takeover event. 🧜♀️
Our yandere'est thanks once more to all our players for your patience with recent inconsistencies! To safeguard the NPCs' generative response capacity whenever our primary AI provider experiences outages or instability, the team has implemented an LLM failover plan.
While players overwhelmingly appreciate Gemini's ability to perfectly match our yanderes' unhinged and unpredictable personas, we want to ensure your experience remains seamless even during rare server hiccups. Our new system dynamically switches between different backend solutions, maintaining smooth and immersive gameplay for our Steam senpais and non-API key users on itch.io without interruptions.
- Increased NPC tolerance levels during server errors to reduce quick game-overs during spotty or temporary server blips.
- Replaced the NPCs' placeholder lines to reflect when the server is unavailable or unstable. Check the new server status if the NPCs repeat these lines:
🔪 Catgirl: “Oh no, I trailed off into a daydream. I was just picturing us together forever. Now, what were we chatting about?”
🔮 Witchy: “Pardon me, my mind was wandering through the Astral Plane. What matter were we discussing?”
⚡ Hologram: “My apologies, my star. I was occupied by a massive data stream. Could you repeat what you were saying?”
🌊 Siren: “Ah, the tides pulled my thoughts away for a moment. What were you saying before I drifted off?”
- Added a failover backup system to stabilize in-game NPC responses.
(Note: The classic lines below still exist to distinguish from errors unrelated to server outages/blips. As always, please email [email protected] with gameplay examples if you suspect an error is taking place.)
🔪 Catgirl: “Don't say that, that makes me embarrassed!”
🔮 Witchy: “Oh dear! Don't say such things, my mischievous little pudding!”
⚡ Hologram: “Please don't say that, as it is against the station's regulations.”
🌊 Siren: “Watch your tongue, you puny human!”
- Added new UI notifications for server status alerts:
- Added a pop-up notification to alert players of server instability or downtime before they proceed into the game.
- Added a top banner to display server status in-game during frequent connectivity errors.
- Added a server status indicator icon to the Main Menu and the Atrium’s ESC menu.
