It woul be nice to have it a paid game on steam in the final release, it'll not only be cheaper than a montly subsciption but if it get famous enought it might be way easier to have AI
Yeah, I want it to be famous, I would definitely buy it
Lovely game! I wonder if there is any discord/community one could join for staying in the loop/discussing about MyRobot? also I noticed a few QoL things: >If you are using computer, if the robot speaks, her textbox will cover the exit button, making you wait till her textbox disappears. >The player can hold the robot while piggybacking on her, causing the player to get stuck to the robot unintentionally after jumping off of her.
Every time I try to chat with the bot, it doesn’t respond and displays an error message: <<No Audio Stream>>, even though I successfully connected to Patreon.
Additionally, I noticed another issue: the bot’s thighs and biceps are mismatched and only appear as one type (right side).
Despite these problems, I want to express my admiration and gratitude for this project! It’s really cute and fun, and I’d love to be able to talk to the bot.
no, its not. kobold can generate text on any modern CPU or GPU at lightning fast speeds, and TTS can be done through programs like xVASynth and many others, at again, virtually no hardware costs.
wtf are you talking about, its literally free. i run AI tts voice generation with a much larger pool of much higher quality voices than this on my own system WHILE playing skyrim. stop your lies. it takes virtually nothing to run some text and voice gen of this level.
Completely understand if it would be too much work, but once you're further into the project would you consider vr support? feels like the kinda interactions the game offers would work pretty well for the medium. Really is a shame to never see the platform filled with so much shovelware.
Found a random video of yours on yt so I tried it. Pretty fun idea for a game and the giant larva freaked me out for a bit.
Not sure if this is fixed in later versions, but you can fast travel while the robot is still connected to the PC with the USB cable and she will bug out. Disconnecting the head jack fixes this however the USB cable will be stuck there permanently which screwed up my only save. Should be able to buy extra USB cables xD. There's also another bug where she would interact with the door and get her hand permanently stuck in it. Even if I remove her hand, it's just stuck holding the door which is pretty funny.
my pc is pretty much a potato so maybe some graphics settings would be nice, but even it the unstable fps the game is really fun tbh, some body part size differences would be nice, like steroid legs would be funny
I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I can't seem to connect the head jack to the robot. I could do it just fine when the game prompted it to me at the start of the game, but I can't do it anymore. I even tried to buy another head and it still doesn't work
Interesting idea, I figured as AI advances more people would make more games like this. Do you ever intend on making your own AI model for the game? Or will you be sticking to ChatGPT?
Edit: I'm not exactly sure what is fully going on in terms of the AI itself. Is there a discord around?
Sorry, I'm pretty silly, but how do I connect Oobabooga to the game? I'm able to run the model (Gemma 2 2B) just fine in the web UI, but when I try connecting it with the game, it says <Not connected> in the AI Chat menu. Do I have to enable something in Oobabooga?
Thanks! That helped, but after that I've been still getting the "Failed to connect to LLM" error, but for another reason, and I've found the issue. For self-hosted LLMs, it takes a lot of time to generate a reply, and judging by the logs, the timeout in the game is around 10-15 seconds, so you just need a lighter model that can generate the answer faster than that. In my case (GTX 1050 Ti), the heaviest model I could run had 360M parameters (SmolLM), which is way too stupid. I was wondering if it's possible for you to make the "subtitles" in the game update in real time, word by word (for local LLMs at least)? This would avoid the timeout, and text-to-speech for self-hosted isn't implemented anyway, so that shouldn't be an issue.
Also, is support for free online LLMs coming anytime soon? Something like Google Gemini or, preferably, Mistral, as they both have free APIs.
And another thing, are settings going to be implemented? Currently, the mouse sensitivity is way too low for me, and also it appears that the game has no frame cap/V-Sync, because my GPU is constantly being loaded at 100%, and the game still runs at 60+ FPS even if it uses just 40-60% of the GPU, so it clearly runs at a much higher frame rate, which is unnecessary.
How to change sensitivity it's insanely low (I tried to change it in my PC's settings and for some reason it either didn't change in game or the difference was minimal)
Also a lot of stuff bugs. She sometimes just gets her parts stuck in walls/ground but at least she manages to get unstuck, then sometimes balloons just don't pop on their own (the pop all balloons doesn't work) and grapling hook sometimes just floats a distance from where it's supposed to be (it all fixes after reloading a safe, even if made during the bugs. I broke a robo hand and after reloading it got fixed). After activating awareness (or whatever makes her look at the player) it gets hard to unplug her because she keeps on randomly looking at the player and then back somewhere else, especially with hair.
Damn, my timing is crazy. It's just I haven't seen any bugs being reported in the recent comments so to be safe I wrote everything that has happened to me
Sorry meant Monday. But yeah that build is a month old. The game doesn't even have a proper welcome title screen or anything. Crazy it's already this popular. So yea bugs expected (But I did kill a bunch for this coming release).
Hello, i just found out about your game yesterday through youtube, and i have a question. The AI features and the robot voice only works with a paid patreon membership? I keep try to chat with her but nothing happens also i get "No audio stream" warnings on my screen.
I just find out about your work yesterday, it's marvelous, i really love it, never get into my that AI could be this cool, and while i watched most dev video i noticed something that bring me to a question, Does the robot have self preservation tactics ? I mean if she falls and have the grapple hook or the balloon arm she can use it to save herself from a fall ? Or use the grapple to get away from those little worms ?
I was playing the other day and I saved and closed the game, but today my save was gone and the robot editor app and save/load app weren't working. I was playing the May build.
Oh, thank you I've been keeping up to date on this since I saw the short because it looked like something amazing that would be a twist on using a chatbot mixed with a mining fps game
I gave my robot balloons and it lifted us up a cliff. However, then I accidentally fell off a cliff and my robot stayed there.
I needed to create a new robot, but I didn't want to give it arms or legs. I just wanted a new robot to take me up to the first one. However, the new robot refused to inflate balloons due to the lack of legs.
In the end, when I climbed the cliff, I saw my first robot falling off the cliff. And then I fell off the cliff again, leaving the second robot on top of the mountain. Unfortunately, I didn't make any saves during the game.
The Save/Load is in need of fixing, but It's a really fun game!
(My issue was when I tried to load my progress, it didn't load my progressing of the story and I had to restart, but couldn't, since I already had a robot.)
My robot died... We had so many adventures together (less than 1 hour), I took care of her as if she were my daughter... Unfortunately, she fell off the cliff while I was looking at the view... poor thing, she didn't even live a day. I cried a lot after she passed away... I could make another one, but it won't be like her. For me, she is irreplaceable... Goodbye my dear Alice...
Please make compatibility with OpenRouter (can be easily adapted since it is also accessible through the `openai` library and koboldcpp/llamacpp-server, which also should be pretty straightforward to add thanks to the `openai` library support. This project would benefit so much from a local deployment!

Yeah, I want it to be famous, I would definitely buy it
I agree. I'm working on offline everything! Saves me on costs too. Win win.
What are the operating requirements for pc?
Pretty cheap. November b build will come with a graphics menu
i hope with the next update you add the full screen cuz i cant put it on full screen
It does actually! I just added a settings menu.
Lovely game! I wonder if there is any discord/community one could join for staying in the loop/discussing about MyRobot? also I noticed a few QoL things:
>If you are using computer, if the robot speaks, her textbox will cover the exit button, making you wait till her textbox disappears.
>The player can hold the robot while piggybacking on her, causing the player to get stuck to the robot unintentionally after jumping off of her.
I love the game so far!
You can join our discord here: https://discord.com/invite/X7pxCef6QB
Unfortunately, the invite is expired :(
https://discord.gg/X7pxCef6QB
You sure?
Oh I get it, it expires if I don't accept it quickly (I saw your invite 7 hours later).
Would you please send the invite once more?
I dont know why the invite isnt working for you. It doesn't expire. It's set to infinite.

The AI is only for paid patreon members not free members. Thanks by the way there's more to come!
in final release, will we still need to use patreon to be able to chat with the robot?
Depends if AI voice generation becames cheap enough to be virtually free!
What about an option to generate voice output right on player's PC?
Yeah probably later since it's much harder to do that for GPUs.
no, its not. kobold can generate text on any modern CPU or GPU at lightning fast speeds, and TTS can be done through programs like xVASynth and many others, at again, virtually no hardware costs.
Cool then. I'll look into kobold and xVASynth.
wtf are you talking about, its literally free. i run AI tts voice generation with a much larger pool of much higher quality voices than this on my own system WHILE playing skyrim. stop your lies. it takes virtually nothing to run some text and voice gen of this level.

Lies? They probably weren't aware of what was available.
How do you unplug the head in the tutorial?
hold right click to unplug
Ah, thank you very much!
Completely understand if it would be too much work, but once you're further into the project would you consider vr support? feels like the kinda interactions the game offers would work pretty well for the medium. Really is a shame to never see the platform filled with so much shovelware.
Yes!
Sooo, how do you deselect the laser? It's really annoying having that little flame at the center of the screen
There isnt a way yet but ill add it to the todo list!
Thanks for the quick response! Doing a quick reset makes it go away, so I'll just have to make do.
I added deselecting for November build which releases in about a week.
how soon will there be integration with open router?
Unsure but probably soon! It helps me lower AI costs.
That's good to hear, it would be also nice to have the ability to add a prompts to create your own character.
Found a random video of yours on yt so I tried it. Pretty fun idea for a game and the giant larva freaked me out for a bit.

There's also another bug where she would interact with the door and get her hand permanently stuck in it. Even if I remove her hand, it's just stuck holding the door which is pretty funny.
The door bug was fixed in October but the USB one I'll look into thanks.
my pc is pretty much a potato so maybe some graphics settings would be nice, but even it the unstable fps the game is really fun tbh, some body part size differences would be nice, like steroid legs would be funny
The framerate and graphics were fixed (with framerate cap) in the October build.
October Build on Monday?
It's already out but it's only for Patreon members. The free public build will always be behind 1 month.
Is it the right thigh bugged for anyone else? No matter how many times I buy the right thigh it always appears as a left thigh
yes it is visually a bug for now
I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but I can't seem to connect the head jack to the robot. I could do it just fine when the game prompted it to me at the start of the game, but I can't do it anymore. I even tried to buy another head and it still doesn't work
Could be a bug, can you restart the game?
Yea that happens sometimes, you just gotta save and then load that save, sometimes it bugs out like tha
Interesting idea, I figured as AI advances more people would make more games like this. Do you ever intend on making your own AI model for the game? Or will you be sticking to ChatGPT?
Edit: I'm not exactly sure what is fully going on in terms of the AI itself. Is there a discord around?
Yeah http://discord.com/invite/X7pxCef6QB
any male version?
really wish the Linux build was as available as the windows one
soon
Thanks a lot, ik I've bugged u about it on like 3 separate platforms now but thx lol
Sorry, I'm pretty silly, but how do I connect Oobabooga to the game? I'm able to run the model (Gemma 2 2B) just fine in the web UI, but when I try connecting it with the game, it says <Not connected> in the AI Chat menu. Do I have to enable something in Oobabooga?
https://imgur.com/a/NfFD8MV
yes you should enable the API in your ooba

Thank you and good luck with the development!
Sure Ill look into it! The october release has a VSYNC fix and caps framerate to 60 but yes a graphics settings is planned!
Are there any mods for this? If there even is a mod support
not yet
Is the October build the one that's supposed to be publicly available later today or is the public build always several months behind?
It will be available for the public when the next build comes out. Though it's always available at https://www.patreon.com/sgthale
Ah I see, so that means the September build is the one coming out today?
yes!
Will this possibly be a mobile game as well?
it will be VR before it's mobile
Oki because I only have my phone for these games and I'd definitely purchase it for my phone
How to change sensitivity it's insanely low (I tried to change it in my PC's settings and for some reason it either didn't change in game or the difference was minimal)

Yep they have been addressed for the next build which comes out Monday.
Damn, my timing is crazy. It's just I haven't seen any bugs being reported in the recent comments so to be safe I wrote everything that has happened to me
Sorry meant Monday. But yeah that build is a month old. The game doesn't even have a proper welcome title screen or anything. Crazy it's already this popular. So yea bugs expected (But I did kill a bunch for this coming release).
I cant get past the "Find iridium" on the ground stage, how would I get past that?
Just scan and find some iridium on the ground.
how
right click the head after installing the scan software and click SCAN
if the game comms out will ai access and the game be free?
because I dont have much money
I may be able to work something out depending on the final success. Yeah!
"NO AUDIO STREAM" HOW TO FIX:
REMOVE THE AI SPEECH SOFTWARE INSIDE THE ROBOT EDITOR (Hook up your robot to the computer)
OR JOIN THE https://www.patreon.com/sgthale
i cnaty figure out ive remove the ai chat in the robot editer and ive join the patron and its stil not working it just says no audio steam help
Yeah i'm getting "No audio stream" what do i do to fix this?
You can remove the AI Speech software in the computer or sign up for Patreon.
Do you know where the "ai speech software" is on game file?
It's in the Robot Editor. Plug in your computer and UNINSTALL the AI speech.
Hello, i just found out about your game yesterday through youtube, and i have a question. The AI features and the robot voice only works with a paid patreon membership? I keep try to chat with her but nothing happens also i get "No audio stream" warnings on my screen.
That is correct! However in the newer versions we have self hosting AI generation.
Any plan for when that’s gonna be added?
I just find out about your work yesterday, it's marvelous, i really love it, never get into my that AI could be this cool, and while i watched most dev video i noticed something that bring me to a question, Does the robot have self preservation tactics ? I mean if she falls and have the grapple hook or the balloon arm she can use it to save herself from a fall ? Or use the grapple to get away from those little worms ?
Very soon! Automation is on the horizon!
is she capable of eating
not yet
que tal un favor podrias traducir el juego a ESPAÑOL porque soy de latam y me cuesta entenderlo gracias y que tengas un lindo dia
Claro. Para el proximo update
will the following builds ever be published for free?
All builds published will be free but the newest build will be behind the patreon. The next build makes the July Update free.
I was playing the other day and I saved and closed the game, but today my save was gone and the robot editor app and save/load app weren't working. I was playing the May build.
And 2 cords appeared one on the table the other next to the computer.
May build is a tad outdated with its own set of bugs. Fairly certain that wont happen in the July buld.
Oh, thank you I've been keeping up to date on this since I saw the short because it looked like something amazing that would be a twist on using a chatbot mixed with a mining fps game
I gave my robot balloons and it lifted us up a cliff. However, then I accidentally fell off a cliff and my robot stayed there.

In the end, when I climbed the cliff, I saw my first robot falling off the cliff. And then I fell off the cliff again, leaving the second robot on top of the mountain. Unfortunately, I didn't make any saves during the game.
Ah Im fairly certain ive fixed that for the next update
just happened to me
unfortunate
The Save/Load is in need of fixing, but It's a really fun game!
(My issue was when I tried to load my progress, it didn't load my progressing of the story and I had to restart, but couldn't, since I already had a robot.)
This was fixed in the July Build. There's isn't much story outside of the introduction.
My robot died... We had so many adventures together (less than 1 hour), I took care of her as if she were my daughter... Unfortunately, she fell off the cliff while I was looking at the view... poor thing, she didn't even live a day. I cried a lot after she passed away... I could make another one, but it won't be like her. For me, she is irreplaceable... Goodbye my dear Alice...
I liked the game, good work
The new version behind Patreon probably expands the gameplay to about 2~3 hours.
Please make compatibility with OpenRouter (can be easily adapted since it is also accessible through the `openai` library and koboldcpp/llamacpp-server, which also should be pretty straightforward to add thanks to the `openai` library support. This project would benefit so much from a local deployment!
Yes absolutely it's in the near term todo list
is this compatible w/ kobold
not yet
Koboldcpp support? Please?
soon
cant detach the cable even with holding right click! :( reloading didnt help
nvm figured it out
How do I save? Demo is really cool, hope one of the next demos have video settings for my potato of a laptop, lol.
Yes video settings is coming. Save feature is half baked in the april build but its in the computer.
Good to know, I'm playing on like 17 FPS lol. But how do I save, like what button do I press?
there isnt much worth saving in the first demo build but its in the computer in the session program
Fair enough lol
