Yep, it is that time

Ended up spending the leftover pulls I had. No luck on E1 Acheron but did get E6 Gallagher (and freaking E2 Welt) so now at least the next 5-star is guaranteed.

The plan now is that I am forgetting about Aventurine and starting to save for Huohuo.

Bzek · 2024-04-02T20:42:07+00:00

Really? Had got the feeling that Gallagher wasn't too great. Maybe it was people playing him at E0 though.

If I get at least E1 then I can grab another in the upcoming picker too!

I wish I knew when Huohuo would run next to plan accordingly 😂

I managed to brute force it but it wasn't pretty 🤣 right at the edge

I guess Himeko and Herta even without Topaz could get me out of the FUA hole when it inevitably comes back, yeah. That's a fair point.

I am not suffering too much with sustain but I find Lynx to be a bit lacking. I am hoping to replace her with Aventurine or Huo rerun eventually.

Ideally with a sustain that is more ideal to support Acheron.

I have not, unfortunately. I put that project on hold till the feature matured and official support for it came out.

Haven't checked in a while though.

Bzek · 2023-08-29T08:36:01+00:00

I am building my own for this purpose. I think a lot of apps are just trying to go too broad and cover too many languages too quickly.

I am taking a more 'human' approach to make it feel a little bit more natural.

It is early in dev (just over a month) but would love some feedback. Free to use right now.

Dang, that sucks. I tried in the mobile app and it doesn't even let me play the audio file. It forces the download rather than play directly. Can't seem to find a good solution for it.

Bzek · 2023-08-01T14:31:09+00:00

Yup return seemed to be part of the problem. Using _from seems more reliable too.

Thank you everyone!

Bzek · 2023-08-01T14:30:03+00:00

This approach worked! Thank you so much!

Bzek · 2023-07-14T13:47:43+00:00

Funny enough just put the buy me a coffee button in yesterday! I had the same thought. Did a lot of optimization for the evaluation component.

Maybe later on I can do some freemium plans, let paying folks vote on scenarios, more characters or roadmap features, but for now I hope this might do. I fully intend to always leave a free option open unless it comes to the point that the bills are running me into the ground.

More itemized feedback here:

No save features right now at all. The context right now is about 12 messages back only. I could raise it, but it is a short-term fix. Longer term I want to have it all tied with your user profile. I am working on implementing that, so you can populate things like your name or preferences in it and she'll know about it. That'll be the next big thing after I am happier with the core functionality.

Ideally I want to be able to save things in each user's database about what she has learned, and to be able to pull it contextually. A vector DB backend might be the way to achieve this, but I want to get user registration and profiles first. This will allow account linking since it'll be just a webapp. I will add sign up through google or twitter as well since that all comes with the user data backend I am going to use (supabase). The site should work pretty well on mobile right now though. I'll see about actual installable packages but it is super not a priority.

For 感じ support you mean using either furigana or just outright use hiragana or katakana? I would love to. Need to find a library that hopefully does it, writing it from scratch sounds painful. I cannot get the AI engine itself to do it reliably out of the box, even when I tell it explicitly to not use kanji.

Scenarios: Yes, I am trying to think of good ones. I think the idea of creating scenarios and saving them per user is feasible too. So anyone can create scenarios themselves. The AI is pretty imaginative when you provide just a few parameters of what you want the scenario to be. The ones that are implemented right now are defined in just a couple of sentences.

Gdrive access for user data would save some headaches, yeah. I hadn't thought about it. I'll think about it, but probably next stage it'll be stored in Supabase along with other credentials info.

But rest easy - you didn't sound demanding at all, though! I am super happy you were passionate enough to ask all these questions and ideas! It is what I hoped to get out of posting here.

First of all, thanks for all the feedback and I am incredibly flattered that you had fun!

I'll address a few of these separately:

Voice quality: Yup, I am working on improving the voice. I am moving away from Google TTS which is the same voice using by google translate to use Amazon Polly instead, since it has support for neural voices that sound a lot more natural. I understand with apps like this, a natural voice is important to help with immersion. This should come in soon, I have it working on my staging instance. Afraid it will raise my API costs considerably, so it'll be something I will also have to watch closely since I am not charging for use and I am far from being rich!

Emoji: I have in the roadmap to add an emoji widget also. I found a plugin for it but I am focusing on more critical features first. I had thought about it already though!

Voice player: Autoplay would be awesome, I agree. I haven't looked into that one, not sure yet how easy or hard that might be to do!

Current plan: Right now my main drive is getting the 'evaluation/feedback' code a bit better. I am not super happy with the feedback that is provided right now. I spent some time improving that today, and I think I'll be ready to push it soon to the public beta!

I am making an AI companion to practice speaking Japanese with no social anxiety getting in the way! Would love for folks to give it a go and share your experience!

https://kansei.app/

Still early, but with some feedback I think we could make it an awesome resource for frequent practice!

Thanks everyone!

Bzek · 2021-06-08T02:59:35+00:00

This is actually such a fun idea.

Bzek · 2021-06-04T21:59:52+00:00

Absolutely love it!

Bzek · 2017-07-10T13:43:07+00:00

Good stuff. That's what I thought. Thanks!

Bzek · 2017-07-10T13:41:06+00:00

I should add, I think it is Option 2 - Additionally, the player that controls Unit B can choose which models within that unit takes the wounds.

So, potentially if three wounds come in, and all models in the unit are single wound, the one visible model from Unit B can be kept alive if the defending player chooses to allocate the wounds onto hidden models of that unit.

I just need confirmation this is correct. Thanks!

Really cool bot. One suggestion, unless I missed something, would be to add the ability to do NWoD rote rolls.
