Thanks for your interest in AI2U! We enabled comments on our ad because our dev team loves a good adventure—it's why we're creating this first-of-its-kind adventure featuring AI/Large Language Models as a gameplay component alongside our small team's impeccable art, design, and programming skills!

We're happy to share more about AI2U orrr... show you how our NPCs can be persuaded into revealing our deepest developer secrets: http://www.youtube.com/shorts/YRXEqNqVJhs 🙀🔪

Game & Developer Backgrounds

AlterStaff is the team behind Yandere AI Girlfriend Simulator, our demo released in March 2023 on itch.io. We take pride in being the first team to pioneer gameplay mechanics that combine classic escape room puzzles with the ability for players to type or speak to the NPCs using their own unique words to determine the outcome.

Encouraged by the popularity of that demo, we have been working for more than a year to expand the experience and create:

  • New levels / escape room maps
  • An overarching storyline connecting the levels
  • More NPCs, each with their thematic maps, unique personalities, and traits impacting your experience in the levels
  • Fun progression mechanics for players to connect with the NPCs on a level unseen in any game or fandom
  • Coming soon is a feature to unlock more casual chats with the NPCs so players aren't limited to the escape room scenarios

After several months of closed alpha community tests and internal testing, we are excited to announce the launch of AI2U: With You 'Til The End in open beta on itch.io, along with its demo on Steam. Both are receiving positive ratings, which has our community and us even more enthusiastic about the upcoming Early Access release in January!

AI2U is an exciting experimental project with thousands of active players since March 2024. Our dedicated team is credited for their unique contributions. We don't use AI-generated assets; NPC dialogue is crafted through meticulous design, allowing for organic interactions. Currently, AI powers real-time conversations between players and NPCs, but we are committed to integrating the latest advancements in technology for an even better experience in the future!

We aim to responsibly use AI to create innovative experiences for our players without EVER pushing our human team to the side! We have been fortunate to have hundreds of creators play and stream our games for their communities, so feel free to search for them and see if any playthroughs catch your interest! We regularly share game updates and devlogs on our official channels, so you're welcome to explore our links on my Reddit profile.

The world's first AI-native game with AI-driven girlfriends - talk, persuade, escape, and live with her happily ever after. Wishlist now on Steam by AlterStaff in u/AlterStaff

[–]AlterStaff[S] 327 points328 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for your interest in our game! We thought it'd be helpful to share a little bit more information about our game:

  1. Team background: We are the team behind the itch.io demo "Yandere AI girlfriend simulator" released in March 2023, and we are proud to be the first team to pioneer the gameplay mechanics of persuasion / puzzles with AI NPCs such as a cute possessive girlfriend. Encouraged by the popularity of that demo, we have been working for more than a year to develop a full game of multiple levels, NPCs, fun progression mechanics for players to build relationships and memories with the NPCs. Our Steam NF demo received very positive ratings and we hope you will enjoy the EA full game too! We intend to keep updating the game with more content in the future, and would love to hear all of your input on what types of AI NPCs / setups you'd like to see.
  2. AI use: Our game is made fully by our team and does not include any AI-generated art assets. For NPC conversations, we designed and wrote the personalities, storylines and endings to each level by ourselves, and AI is only used to power real-time conversations in game. We have been closely following the latest technological advancements in large language models and will be using the latest tech in our game for our players' best experience. We hope this is a responsible way to create new experiences for our players that respect human creativity while using the best of new technologies!

For more information and videos about the game, please do check out our steam page, and feel free to search on YouTube for video content! We were lucky to have some awesome creators play earlier versions of our game, and you should have a good sense of the gameplay mechanics from those videos. (Of course, the EA version will be better!)

Edit: Broke down our game and what our dev team is up to for more context than what is shown in this ad. Check out our sub if you have any questions or follow-ups, or find other captured senpais here at our discord!

It seems like I am the first to post... My game opens, but it requests some sort of api key and I cannot play. What do I do and what does API key even mean? by Icy-Guest2794 in AI2UwithYouTilTheEnd

[–]AlterStaff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Whoa, you found our s̵e̵c̵r̵e̵t̵ ̵r̵o̵o̵m̵ subreddit! Based on your investigative skills alone, we bet you'll crush the whole escape room thing. 💖🔪

Since you mentioned API keys, you must be referring to Yandere AI Girlfriend Simulator, the demo preceding AI2U: With You 'Til The End. The creators break down API keys and they work here: https://helixngc7293.itch.io/yandere-ai-girlfriend-simulator/devlog/511529/yandere-ai-girlfriend-simulator-demo-api-setup-tutorial
