I do have a server set up for live dialog generation. However, I haven't put it to production yet because doing so would limit the game's lifetime. Also it's hard to follow a set story when AI generates all the dialog. The other issue is latency. For larger models it can take several seconds (up to 20) to generate a single sentence and that's for just one player. Now imagine thousands of players at the same time and I think you get the point.
Images take a much shorter time to generate (1-2 images per second), but right now there's already a way to custom builds of the game via

. However because of the compute costs custom builds are only available as a benefit for supporters. If people want to try it out though, I wouldn't mind making builds for them in low volume. I think the tags available to modify are limited, but that can be expanded if it's a feature people want.

i know what you mean. I've been a premium member at AIdungeon for a year now.
their AI used to be free and open to everyone, but as the website got more popular, they had to implement a premium version and a daily limit for Free users. I think it had around 1mil stories generated by that time.

Yeahhh ...
First of all there is nothing neural in the computing neural networks ... scientist get's a real laugh when they hear about that. It's just some developers back in the days wanted so look and sound fancy. The same goes for the term AI - right now all it does is create "urban legends" and a lot of investments. There is no real AI ...
Second - the so called "AI generated" images based on templates and a lot of free flow painting approach are used by military and special services structures since ... forever. And they produce very very good images. Even 3D ...
You failed!
Move along!

It looks terrible and the text to speech makes it worse
The fact you used the same model and hair for all female characters doesn't help either.

that's a bad idea. if no one ever tried to do something that could potentially do better because it could also potentially fail all technological advancement would stop. there would never be anyone trying to push further because what we have now is acceptable. im not saying this looks good, but telling someone to stop trying to accomplish something else because you don't like it in its current form and to just stick to the status quo is very dumb.
"All you did was confirm that it's better for content creators to stick with what actually works because advancements are not sufficient to justify the change."
you literally said its better to stick to what is used already and advancements are not significant to justify the change. that sounds like telling someone to stop to me. way to cry over something you don't want to steal.

Must admit i'm slightly disappointed by Catching Heat so far. I was expecting some instructions on fitting cavity wall insulation 
As a programmer myself, the concept is amazing. I can't wait to see what this kind of tech is able to do a few years from now. We've spent decades trying to get 3d models to a point of complexity where they look as close to humans as possible and suddenly stuff like the DeepFake algorythm is creating realistic looking moving faces in 48h of training. This is the first time I've seen AI applied to full bodies though.
I'll test the game tonight.
I thought I was in 1999, playing EQ again. For a second, I caught myself looking at the ground while moving so my 56K modem wouldn't melt, drop my connection and leave my character running into a wall for five minutes.
Before anything, I want to point out one considerable flaw in your pro football player analogy. You stated that they were able to become professional by performing at a professional level in the public eye. True. But what you're overlooking is the fact that they just didn't wake up one day, walk onto a pro football team and rush for 200 yards and 3 touchdowns. What isn't in the public eye is the amount of hard work and physical training which gets them to that level. Without it, they're sitting on the couch watching NFL Network on Sundays.
On a serious note, I work in technology too, enterprise infrastructure technology architecture specifically, so I understand the preface of AI, super computing, virtualization and building fiber networks for high bandwidth high resolution video monitoring and all that jazz. But this isn't Tron. I mean ...it's porn.
Is this just a hobby? If so, then hell yeah - knock yourself out man, revolutionize digital imaging as we know it. Passion is the father of invention. If this is just a passion, don't worry about the critics and do your thing. On the other hand, you have a Patreon page, and people are paying you money, so I would assume this is more than just a hobby, and you're actually trying to get people to fund this? When you cross that line, you inherit a whole slew of expectations because you're selling a product. You have investors.
I've read your super resolution article and perused your project page and even though I think it's cool as hell, I still don't understand the allure. Here's why. You're trying to create (and sell) something that appeals to human beings on a sexual level ...that isn't made by human beings. We're not talking about cars coming off an assembly line, bots crawling the web for marketing revenue or any sort of automation-based production. This is sex. You're trying to sell a sex game, right? Sure, I do understand part of your efforts are for helping digital creators make content in a more conducive fashion, but I can't help but think that you're jumping the shark. It's like the PC hardware revolution a dozen years ago. Dudes building $4000 gaming PCs to run DX9 games that an e-Machine from Best Buy could run with ease at the same max resolution. I was one of those idiots.
I like what you're trying to do, and I wish you the best of luck. I do. Don't stop, man. But personally, I think you're putting the cart waaay before the horse here, and putting all your effort into minimizing the human aspect of erotic games, something that - in my opinion - will always need to have an extensive amount human involvement (including creativity and artistry) if it's going to be any good. Perhaps there is some other application where this would be better suited?

What didn't you like about the speech? Lack of emotion? The goal behind the single female character was to first make the technology work for one character. Once that was proven I added a few more models to the training set and finally added male models. Start small, scale up, prove each step.

First, I super appreciate what you've said. The goal was to use AI as a tool like blender/DAZ studio/MSPaint to produce a vision and to tell a story. Hopefully, the tool, in the long run, would make it faster to produce images for VNs. I believe that this tool could be capable of delivering the vision in a way that humans can connect with the story in a deeply human way but CH is probable not it. Like an aspiring pro-football player, I've worked hard to try to tell my stories and to build the AI tools to help with the visual and audible part of the story-telling. I'm probably not going to make the NFL with CH, and I'm okay with that.
I understand that it is HIGHLY unusual for someone in this particular space to openly accept support for research and experimental products. I've been as transparent as I know how to be about the nature of what CH is and isn't. It definitely isn't a sex-game. It's not the intended adult visual-novel in graphics for the most part. Only with 0.5 is it anything more lewd visually than a rated R movie, but that's only if you really use your imagination. CH is a prototype vehicle. It's Elon's Starship. It is, in may ways, designed to fail hard and fail often (but without exciting explosions).
I'm okay with the outcome and feedback from CH. It was a fun project and I learned a lot that I've already applied to Euryale's Gambit and hopefully future stories. I got to meet tons of really-cool and really talented people who have helped contribute to this project directly or indirectly. That alone has almost made the hard work and personal expense worth it.
0.5 may be the last release of CH in this form. This type of work is kinda like my experiments with bitcoin: a couple years too early. I'm working on getting the important parts of the story into Euryale's Gambit.

I gotcha. Thanks for the clarity. I was totally onboard with this until I saw the Patreon page. That's when I started rolling my eyes. I thought, "Oh, another snake oil salesman." Working in technology infrastructure, I see it daily and it's annoying as all hell. Managed Service Providers constantly trying to pawn off "the next big thing" in security, networking or whatever, when in reality, all it really is, is re-branded processed cheese.
I was able to gain an appreciation for what you are trying to do after I delved into it a bit, but the thought that someone was trying to get other people to pay for an AI created sex game that was in dire need of improvement kept nagging at me. I thought it was highly unusual and incredibly suspect. It reeked of yet another "developer" trying to sell fool's gold, and writing it off like some huge revolutionary breakthrough in erotic entertainment.
I'm happy that's not the case. Good luck, man!
