Demi AI now released, some small fixes and new trailer video

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

I think were half a week late from the promised release of Demi AI update. Last week we had a critical bug so we had to delay the patch release till now.

This new build includes DEMI, a conversational AI powered by Neural Networks (Machine Learning). Currently it is available for use for all users on Windows 10* and only requires a mic. Its free to use.
We trained our data using 3rd party conversations and reddit**.
Due to the nature of dynamic conversations and a self-thinking AI, DEMI might sometimes reply rudely or might even abuse (thx reddit), so please use it with self-discretion.

We will be improving it more and more in coming days and adding support for older Windows versions too. We are also expecting to release a patch update to fix broken support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 before this month's end.

This patch also includes the following small fixes:
-Fixed layout problems for smaller resolution displays, Ultra Wide Displays and other resolutions
-Now uses Dynamic Layout for the Interface Menu and its positioning
-Fixed a bug with the character-mouse interaction where click-dragging a character would sometimes make it jump/move randomly.

Last but not the least, we have added a new trailer video for Desktop Mascot Engine to the store page, please do give it a look and let us know if you like it.

Also, we know we havn't released new 3D characters as much as we wanted to since start, but fret not, we will do a batch release of characters before Christmas.

PS: We are always listening to your feedback and suggestions, so please let us know whatever you think good or bad about the state of DME and what we can do to improve it further.

*Currently only Windows 10 has and supports inbuilt speech recognition (for free). Older versions of Windows will need to use speech recognition using 3rd party services, for which we will add various providers.

**Due to the nature of reddit and its conversations, sometimes the Demi AI's response can be bad, not bad as in bad reply, but a bad person. Don't let it bully you and don't mind or feel bad from its responses. AI are self-thinking, self-learning and unpredictable.
Please do not take any of its reply against us.

---------- Speech/Voice Recognition Settings and Permissions in Windows 10 ------------

There is also a requirement to enable Speech Recognition permissions for Windows 10 users, without it you will get a error saying " Speech/Phrases Recognition is not supported on this machine ".

  • Go to System Settings (Control Panel) -> Privacy and select on the left panel the option "Speech, inking & typing".
  • Change the policy option to enable the speech feature. (TURN IT ON / ALLOW)
  • Restart DME (the program/.exe) to allow changes to take effect
  • The "Not Supported" error should be gone now (?)

DEMI AI Support is available here - https://steamcommunity.com/app/821060/discussions/0/1743353798892162045/

Community13 Nov 2019DME Status, what happened, why and whats nextHello Everyone, This might be a long post so I will conclude everything in short here itself: 1. DesktopMascotEngine project is not dead, however, this project turned more ambitious than I initially thought or planned for (I am a one man army, no team here) and unfortunately its early access sales itself couldn't cover much of our/my working costs. 2. By November 2018 end, I had fallen to press…Community19 Jan 2019Regarding state of Windows 7/8 compatibility and Feature RequestsHey fellas, We were supposed to release a content update around/before Christmas but due to family commitments and being ill since New Year delayed a lot of stuff. Since then, I have been committed to diagnose, research and fix DME' backward compatibility with Windows 7 and Windows 8 as my priority issue. I am happy to confirm that I have finally found a way to make DME work for Windows 7 and 8…Community28 Nov 2018Meet DEMI, a AI-Friend on your Desktop to talkWe are finally reaching that stage of hype folks. This should be a good chance to show off one of our biggest features we had planned since DME's concept stage. Its a AI Conversation bot, right on your desktop and interfaced using your voice (and replies back using gibberish/actual voice of its own). This is not a static or pre-defined chatbot but a full fledged Neural Network trained AI (Machi…
