Animations

I set up animatediff which allows me to create animations using stable diffusion (AI). Thanks to all those people working hard to create those amazing tools. Considering the power of AI, I have no doubts that those people will be our overlords soon but they deserve it.

The results are impressive but there are lots of problems:

  • I'm not satisfied with the results
  • It takes a lot more time to generate
  • There are a lot more things that can go wrong
  • I oft...

Patreon changes

There have been changes to Patreon as you have probably noticed. You can now join my Patreon for free. In doing so, you don't get any benefits but you'll get news about release and stuff. If you were following my Patreon before this update you are already a free patron.

I disabled comments on the Patreon. I'd prefer all the comments to be on itch.io. Please feel free to continue to message me anytime on Patreon through private messages.

My Chara Mansion 0.7 released

You can play it on my itchio page.

In this new version, there are 4 new Charas: Rem, Tatsumaki, Ino, and Raven. You can build more rooms so that you can accommodate them all. Besides this, there is more content that you'll discover by yourself.

I made some adjustments. First, I reduced the size and bulbousness of Bocchi's head in some of the pictures. I replaced the word "card" with "scene" in various places of the g...

MyCharaMansion : Bugfix for android

I forgot to rename the package name for the Android version. Therefore,  your Android device thought this game was another version of Chara Cardmaster. If you played the Android version before the fix, you won't be able to load your MyCharaMansion save in the next version unless you do the following : (but the easiest and funniest is to simply restart the game from the beginning).

To rescue the save :

  • Download and install the fixed version.
  • Launch it
  • T...

Welcome to the 200th patron

Of course, welcome to all the other new patrons as well. I'm still rushing to release Ectocam in early June. It will be a little botched let's be honest.

I had some good ideas for a new game but after more reflection, they were not that good. But now I have great ideas to make a game in the spirit of cardmaster but better. Between the setup to make AI CG that is already done, the fact that I always reuse code between games, and that I'll start to use some money I made to outsource some ...

About iOS builds

Did anyone succeed in making them work? I can no longer build iOS apps with Unity on Windows. I don't know what changed but that's how it is. If nobody can make the iOS release work, I'll stop making them. I don't own any Apple device so I can't do any testing. Eventually, I'll figure out a way to build those apps again (like borrowing a Mac or something) but right now I'm pretty busy and iOS is not my priority.

How to export saves (for backups)

I may add a backup tool to my games at some point. But for the time being:

On Android :

The saves are deleted if you uninstall the game but they shouldn't be deleted when you update. The save location is "Internal Storage" -> "Android" -> "data" -> "kk2oven..."

On PC :

The saves are in "C:" -> "Users" -> "your username" -> "AppData" (hidden folder) -> "LocalLow" -> "KK2Oven"

On IOS : View Post

Some tests with AI

I conducted experiments exploring alternative tools for generating images, but for now, I will primarily be utilizing novelAI. For tasks that novelAI can't handle, I will turn to other reliable generative models. In my next project, I aim to flesh out the story even further than in my previous games. To achieve this, I am using OpenAI to enhance the quality of my texts and make them more engaging to read.

I am grateful for the continued support from my followers. It means a lot to me. I...

Progress

There has been some progress on the new game, but as I aim to create a game with a lot of content enjoyable gameplay, it will take some time before I can release anything. Currently, I haven't begun working on the graphics as I am hoping for advancements in AI technology. While I am able to generate characters with similar clothing in different  positions, it can be a little challenging. However, AI is the future and it is advancing rapidly. I will keep you updated. Thanks for you suppor...

What is planned for 2023?

I really enjoyed creating the last game, and I'd like to continue experimenting with AI in my next project. The new game will be a bit larger and will involve photography. You will play as a spirit photographer, setting up ghost cameras in various locations to capture and sell pictures of these subjects. With the money you earn, you can purchase additional ghost cameras, upgrade them, and unlock new locations. The ghost cameras function like wildlife cameras and will automatically take pictur...

Changes incoming

Two changes are incoming :

  • I will switch the patreon to "everything is free", soon. Patrons who continue to support me even though there is no real benefits are the best. Thank you. The patreon will now be less about pay-walled content and more about giving me money so that I can spend more time on making games.
  • With the current boom of AI generated images, I want to ride the wave as well. So, once the next update for my current game is released, I will start making a new...
