0.5.62: image generation, help/guide, story rewrites, tamagotchi, bugfixes

✨ overhauled the help section (the most newcomer-friendly version so far)

✨ image generation:
→ optimized the negative prompt (turns out overly long ones can lead to less crisp details)
→ improved auto-prompt writing: now if there are no people in the scene, the bot will focus on something else; especially handy in dnd modes; got a bit better when there are 3 characters in frame
→ now considers the last 3 messages instead of two
→ updated the default model to ilustmix_v9 (quantized to q8 — smaller size with no visible quality loss)
→ fixed auto image generation via api for grok and openai (the “every n messages” setting is taken from local generation); added a size parameter for openai

✨ tamagotchi
→ if the cursor doesn’t move for more than 5s, mika stops tracking
→ reacts if you stare at her chest (5 clicks)
→ Mika can now generate images; uses sd settings from the main game, but the size is fixed at 768x1024

✨ in the main game, fiona’s 3d was updated (using the tamagotchi model)

✨ in the story, the fiona changing scene was rewritten — it’s now vrm 3d

✨ added an airport location

🛠 polished the very start of the game: added airport sounds and images, improved the quality of older images, and introduced a new kind of animated text

🛠 better gemini error handling: real model errors instead of a placeholder

🛠 reworked info dialogs; added a message when there’s no active text model, and a speech setup prompt when 3d is enabled by the story (shown once)

🛠 fixed the link in settings for testing voice on openai.fm

🛠 new icon for the koboldcpp console (the old one was obscenely bold)

🛠 android: fixed selection and caret in the multi-line text input

🛠 koboldcpp updated to 1.99.4

🛠 redesigned the kobold local models section in settings

🛠 local tts: fixed language/accent — now correctly taken from the ‘language ai’ setting

🗝️ base, person, visionary passwords changed

→ mega
→ onedrive

and a bit of plans and news:
marketing and ads aren’t really my thing, but time has shown that without them growth is hard and slow—if it’s possible at all. the project stopped growing on word of mouth and just posting on platforms, so over the coming month, besides the story, i’ll put time and energy into promotion. i’ll first try what i can do myself, but ideally i’d outsource it—it eats a lot of time and, of course, specialists will do it way better. if u can recommend something or someone, drop me a dm/comment 🖤
