They listened to me! Thanks, government bros. Too bad Golden Crow isn't going to switch from Patreon, it's a devious trap that lures in with easy patrons and income, and then at the moment you start to shine - they close that cage...

50$ montly for private server for better AI ( the standart probably ), yeah sounds like a robbery. Looks like even this project start paywall tactics. It's not 1 time thing u need to pay constantly like u're paying to a service. Even serviceses like these have more than one project like xbox game pass, playstation game pass, amazon prime, netflix etc. If we should rate this on 50$ per month on 100, i will probably go to minus numbers. b... but he needs to earn money guys

Another delay
Patrons who can't afford for decent pc but afford constantly pay for high tear patreon subscription yeah that makes sense. I'm just talking about decent AI requirement pay on the text he wrote and i don't see anything about patrons who has crappy pc. I guess time will show us the features, he made. Get rid of the butterflies in your head, non-paid lawyerYou should stop creating fake scenarios in your head… The post is clear. He's providing an AI server for Patrons who can't host it locally. It’s probably the same AI you can run on your own if you have a decent PC. Besides, the AI isn’t even necessary to play the game. Are you new to the overall Influencing concept? The dev is focused on making a game as accessible as possible for everyone, even for people who play on their phones. That’s the main idea that Crow always emphasizes when discussing the game.
As for the release date, this is the first time he’s set a specific date, so there hasn’t been any delay.
Go touch some grass… Peace
No, nothing about this is paywall whatsoever. Patreon AI server is nothing other than an alternative for those that may have issues setting it up locally, that's all. If you read into what was said there you'll see that Crow mentioned all patreon subscribers and you have tiers ranging from 2$ all the way up to 50$ therefore I really don't see how you even got to the conclusion that he's planning to make it for the 50$ tiers. By "higher-tier patrons" he probably meant for those in the range of the 5-10$ depending on nothing other than the performance results meaning that it may not even get limited at all in the end.''

I just want to add a bit of clarification here. Local AI does perform well, the issue arises from the free online versions that are listed in the game's options as well as people with lower end PCs that may have trouble setting it up.
Well thank u for decent explanation. I guess i miss some points or crow bad at explain things, probably my mistake. It's good to see someone who try to explain things instead of insulting.
Any idea if AMD is supported for this? 16GB of VRAM while not anything crazy for AI isn't bad.
If that's what his patrons want and it aligns with his interest, I don't see why not. You're free to play other games in the meantime.
In testing I had nothing but issues trying to set it up on my RX6800XT (one of the reasons why Crow went for the Patreon alternative) while the testers on the RTX GPUs managed to set it all up just fine with no issues whatsoever. I do have to say that when it comes to AI & LLM I'm an absolute knobhead as I never really did anything with AI before testing this so its possible that I just didn't investigate enough alleyways to get it running onto AMD while Crow's guidelines probably directed me towards more RTX friendly solutions as he's on RTX himself.
You're not wrong. I shouldn't act entitled. I just mentioned a couple of pages ago that I hoped the AI stuff wouldn't bog down development, so I guess I thought people really needed to hear my "called it!". (They didn't, I'm just a self-absorbed twat sometimes.)
Don't get me wrong, I understand that AI isn't near perfect yet and is resource intensive to use, but I also can't fault him for trying to use it. People want a dynamic experience with meaningful dialogue choices and unique characters, and the town has like what, a minimum of 80 randomly generated NPCs? The fastest and more most practical way is unfortunately AI.
I wonder, would it be easier to just make a game editor for AI, rather than making an AI that has to keep up with ridiculous amount of information and be interactive in real time? In game editor it would only have to consider its own game context during the process of creation, that would be cemented into editor after adding it - allowing for an easy order to change and improve things in places. It adds text and interactions, it refers to its own creation as the context, and makes more on top of it. Sounds like less AI use than a chatbot.
Not really, no. I tried teaching, but I don't understand the mechanics in the slightest.
Teaching is the most developed job currently, but even it is not super far along. Right now they're mostly placeholders. It SOUNDS like GC has plans on putting some stuff in like office drama, fucking the boss at work, etc., but it's not implemented yet.
