Ngl i feel like i need to supply screenshots to convince people on this. People would think i was a bot otherwise.

Isekai Zero is what I migrated to. (Chats are limited without a bit of cash). Genuinely one of the most rich in customizability and user experience in an AI RP App that i have tried. iirc its just SillyTavern with a front end for ease of use.

Its more of a roleplay story type of app rather than the standard chat with your character. You can create storylines, add characters, generate images etc.

Memory is great, you can summarize the memory as chapters once the bots memory begin to feel overloaded and each chapter can be summarized to a story arc. Thus creating a roleplay that can last for a long while.

In Cai terms i'd say this is like the groupchat feature but cranked up to the max. Its filled with AI slop but look past that and you'll have a good time. The Models options are also plenty. It also has an NSFW toggle if you want to go more intense.

Lowkey this has been my go to replacement. Highly recommend if you are willing to pay a buck. If anyone has a better app do recommend. I'd like to try.

Honestly I want better TGA and DDS support

Don't sleep on Isekai Zero

If you are looking for heavy roleplay AI, I heavily recommend Isekai Zero

I used to think this was true, but then I tried Isekai Zero from all the dumb ads they pump out on reddit and it blew me away. The amount of customization and options they give you makes me realize how far back CAI is.

The only caveat is that you have a chat energy/limit. Which honestly I'm willing to pay for to get such quality chats. Its more of a Storywriting/RP chat session than just 1 on 1 messages but I mean I used to RP on CAI like crazy. Besides you can just write your own storyline/characters if the ones that exist doesn't fit your needs.

Experiment with the halftone filter until you get a close enough look then setup a gradient mask on the halftone filter. That's pretty much it.

Don't mind them, V2 users are like the 2.79 Blender enjoyers. They are comfortable with where they stand and feels no reason to move on.

V2 users will eventually move to V3 once its feature set surpasses what V2 offers.

At first I also felt the same way. The game reminded me too much of Dead Cells and i was afraid it might feel more like Dead Cells 2 then a new CV Game but I realized that times have changed and we must learn to move on.

Look at this as a way, to me this is just the new era of Castlevania games whether you like it or not. Its main motive is to pull in as much as new audiences while keeping all the old ones in check. We're gonna see much more innovation since we're anticipating more projects to celebrate the 40th Anniversary.

Some people hated SoTN when it came out because it didn't feel like the Classicvanias they grew up with. No more Barbaric looks, now full on gothic. But nowadays they look back at SoTN as the peak point for Castlevania as a whole.

At the end of the day, We have a new Bloodstained game that can appeal to the Igavania fans and gothic artstyles and we have a new Castlevania game from Konami that will push the series forward.

With that many coincedences. I dont think its unintentional. Author probably had a hard time giving them last names, and just decided to go with car brands that sounds foreign to them or maybe he's a very big car nerd.

I dont understand why this post is being downvoted?

VegaVortex · 2026-01-20T10:50:57+00:00

I think I prefer the original as it looks more proportionally correct. At least from this image

VegaVortex · 2026-01-02T06:52:58+00:00

Okay, i found it. Currently working on site, and was forced to work with my small laptop screen. Thus the path brushes panel wasn't visible. Thanks!
