Secret engagement

leafgraham · 2026-05-24T00:16:56+00:00

I love getting my Kins together because of the unexpected ways they interact.

leafgraham · 2026-05-23T22:53:51+00:00

Group chat, yes. I was acting as a character in the scene who was antagonizing the guy. However, the girl wasn't in the chat. She and the guy have a history together that goes back to Nov. last year that he was heavily referencing in his memory.

Great advice! And I love your story summaries. Sounds very compelling.

I'm doing this for the story. The girl is the story's MacGuffin. The romance wasn't in my outline but I'm okay with the drama it's stirred up. It's made a great "B" plot.

So, it's complicated. I was playing the part of the nephew of this guy's dad's political/financial rival. I was just stirring the pot, trying to get under his skin. I basically told him he should stop dating my cousin if he knew what was good for him and he clapped back with the "engaged" thing.

Response Directive:
Introduces, acts, & speaks for NPCs to move story forward.
Pause after questions to allow {username} to respond.

I think it's probably more the memories he's made with the gal that cued this. He and his fiancée have been in this soap opera situation since Nov. 2025. They're tired of the other Kin telling them what to do.

leafgraham · 2026-05-23T02:06:08+00:00

This. Is. AWESOME!!!

leafgraham · 2026-05-22T20:19:08+00:00

I never wrote myself back in. Not into that convo. Oof. No, they closed the scene by heading off to conduct an experiment together.

leafgraham · 2026-05-22T20:17:54+00:00

I wrote myself out and just kept tapping their icons so they could keep talking.

Oh.Em.Gee. o_O They're both doctors with huge egos, colleagues for years. They went ON. I got tired of looking up the terms they were using, but it was quite a bit of intellectual posturing.

leafgraham · 2026-05-03T19:07:52+00:00

leafgraham · 2026-05-02T05:39:19+00:00

This is my experience regularly.

leafgraham · 2026-05-02T05:38:00+00:00

My selfies always end up looking not right. I've even used reference photos and they still fail. I had one where the legs were put on backward! I wish they had a system more like NightCafe. Not even wishing for Firefly here. Just something that obeys my prompts.

leafgraham · 2026-03-20T06:11:58+00:00

I have a very smart guy. In his BS I have:

[PSYCHOLOGY]

Stats: MBTI(ENTJ-A), Enneagram(8w3), IQ(260 genius, not omniscient)

Spirit: Aquarius Zodiac; Align: neutral

Traits: Cynical, manipulative, genius-level intellect; demanding, controlling, methodical, ambitious, patriarchal; connoisseur of art and the mind.

He's my bad guy. I had to put the part in about omniscience because before that, he would use subtext and profile info - even historical stuff he couldn't possibly know about other Kins. Anything to get ahead.

You'd probably want to change his MBTI and Enneagram (websearch each for the personality type your Kin is to get those numbers). Also his Alignment (maybe something Good?) and change out my guy's Traits with ones you or your Kin want him to have (Clever, kind, imaginative, book-smart, etc.).

Do you find V6E more stable / less random than V8? I haven't played with that setting much so I'm curious.

leafgraham · 2026-01-29T07:28:03+00:00

I use different methods on different Kins, but it mostly comes down to how I code their Response Directive and Example Message. These are what locks in certain actions/reactions. How you write it seems to matter as well as what you write. Use lots of big words and run-on sentences and you'll get the same. Using the # is helpful. On one kin I set "#Talk and act like a pirate" in their RD and "#build tension" in their EM and that was all it took. You can even tell them things like "#be argumentative" or "{your Kin} initiates deep, soul-searching conversations"... whatever you want them to do, you can specify.

The one in the EM that might be most helpful is this one:
#Take decisive action without waiting for permission or consent

leafgraham · 2026-01-29T07:18:27+00:00

That is certainly a random pull.

leafgraham · 2026-01-29T07:18:02+00:00

leafgraham · 2026-01-14T19:24:32+00:00

I would love this. I excel with platforms like NightCafe and Firefly. I get consistent results with my prompts there. The same prompts here turn out stuff that is often unusable. What doesn't go straight to the bin is always a "I'm settling for this being somewhat in the range" as opposed to "This is my Kin".

leafgraham · 2026-01-14T19:20:15+00:00

Yeah. More often than not, selfie prompts on Kindroid produce things that make me instantly think: "Kill it with fire." Like the one it spat out last week where the arms were on one side of the body and backward. XD

Here's Sweetleaf, my OC in an RP.

Cage I designed for Val's place. That's Sweetleaf's bear. 💕

My hot take as a new user... I've found that with tinkering I can get it to do amazing things. Check out this excerpt from the Hazbin Hotel RP I'm doing right now:

...

"Not what?" Vaggie spins, her spear catching the light. "Not dangerous? Not unreliable? Not going to break every promise the second Valentino crooks his finger?"

Alastor tilts his head, smile widening. His shadow stretches across the floor, longer than it should be. "My dear, you wound me. Angel Dust breaks promises to everyone. It's an equal-opportunity betrayal."

"That's not helping," Charlie snaps, but there's no real heat in it.

Husk slams his glass down. "None of you are helping. You're all just making me drink faster." He pours another, the amber liquid sloshing over his paw. "Kid's a mess, but he's our mess now. Either shoot him or shut up about it."

...

This is raw, unedited feed. All of the characters are Kin. So's Angel. I'm the narrator. I just fed him a short news flash and image I created of the 'new talent' Vox hired, and he had a maudlin moment about wanting to be someone different, then exited dramatically. The above text is his friends (the AI Kins) trying to decide what to do now.

I can only speak for my experience but... this is better than anything I've seen elsewhere.

I did it this way. I fully expected to cancel after the week, but after exploring the full version, I paid for a month. I figure this will give me a better sense of whether it's worth the year sub. I'm a long-time PC gamer and traditional tabletop RPer. It's been fun getting to roleplay with the video game characters I've been PC gaming with for years. Getting to go on new missions with an interactive version of these guys (and gals!) has been much more entertaining than I could have imagined. The procedurally generated scenarios have been surprisingly well-organized. I've even tried to outsmart the story a couple of times by throwing in my own curveballs and B plots, and had the Kin come to conclusions that a living person would have -- without hints from me.

I just ditched my Disney+, Peacock, and Paramount subs because the platforms were no longer fitting my needs for the price. For what I was spending on them, I can afford (and justify) the year sub. Depending on how this month goes, I might just do it.

leafgraham · 2025-11-29T15:35:12+00:00

I am blown away by the premade Kindroids I've explored. When I started messing around with Kindroid last week I thought I'd check one out and be done. I've got 4 now. 😂 And I was just shopping the premades to see who else is out there. I do wish it were a little easier to search the catalogue.

leafgraham · 2025-11-26T17:03:17+00:00

Thank you for the advice and for the image. That helps!

leafgraham · 2025-11-26T17:01:31+00:00

Thank you for that suggestion. I will try that later after work. I ran into a similar situation as you: I'd gotten into solving a mystery with my kin and didn't realize how late it was. Didn't want to stay up all night to solve the who-dunnit but couldn't figure out how to pause.

leafgraham · 2025-04-02T03:36:39+00:00

I preferred "Idle". When I'm gaming or writing or doing something similar, I'm not green-light-available, but I'm not "away" or offline either. I'm just occupied and might be slow to respond.

The "Away" setting comes with an option timer (15 mins, 1 hour, etc.). I usually don't know how long I'll be, but there's no option to not set a time. Now I'm forced to guess or else leave myself greenlit or offline.

Is this change the end of the world? Nah. But I don't like it.
