This game inspired me to find a fun nsfw rpg generator online, its diffrent from actual game, but so much sexier and meaningfull. Dreaming of combining customization in the with ai storytelling.
Fascinating. Your conclusions make sense, and kind of illustrate why this game was so compelling despite its mediocrity and lack of updates. While AI models might be able to create short stories that are decently written, they can't emulate even the small amount of interconnectedness that this game has. The funny thing is that your point about the "transition" issue is evident in almost all games in the lifesim genre, as most struggle to carry over the impact of decisions from one aspect of the game to the next.
Well gang, I'm starting 2025 by admitting I was wrong.
Absolutely on point, "unbound" usage of AI generation, or stories being led by AI, are more like a dream sequence. An overarching idea made with some cohesion and zero attention to details(ergo count your fingers in a dream and find yourselves to be AI generated) and some very specific short scenes with singular idea/focus. Thats why just throwing AI into raw text window and calling it a game is (excuse me) stupidity of large proportions. AI is a tool like any other, a tool to be used for certain tasks. The rpg gen I use right now has many problems, not exclusive to it I'm sure. But it can be mended by user, a thinking mind who can set AI straight so to speak. In relation to actual games, I imagine it should be used as a way to shorten writing process for numerous variations of sex scenes and instead focus on mechanics and set naratives, available for the player. I can't help but gasp at the amount of sheer smut fenoxo have in their games, but it would not be so hard to match it with AI(no matter how good or bad it would turn out quality wise). It's also a solution for the promblem of repeated interactions. Sometimes doing things over and over again is a part of the game, but the scene that were wrote for them are...well, few or even in singular variety, which sucks in a long run. AI has a certain perk, it comes up with random shit. And if you can contain this randomness to shit that makes sense in a scene/in a story, then variety grows by quite a significant margin, thus feeling more lively. The "every day is the same, but diffrent" kind of feel. So AI led by either a thinking and active user, or a strong and smartly written script might just be a dream usage of this tool. It's not magic, just an approximation of infinite creativity.
Preach. I hate it, the "SLOP" epidemic, people generating themselves out of having any fun, depth, meaning or a single thought for the story. Missusage is not suprising, but the extent of the damage is depressing. If the "dead internet" theory ever had a chance to be real, now is the time this can come to pass. No matter a tool or a toy, the agents of destruction will always be the humans who pulled the trigger.
Also I would advise you to chill, and maybe find some other opium for some variety, gosh even friends mayhaps. Kidding of course, but do take care of your mental.
Nice, I had few experiments, first was utter fail, with AI acting cartoonishly bad, with poor pace and wiriting itself in a corner kind of deal. Next is a nice fantasy story with Slaaanesh themed adventure, I did find constant smut lacking contrast and meaning.
The bot I use always uses "siren's song" like every 10 paragraphs. Its just a quirk of how these things are written unfortunately. If you cna ignore them, theyre pretty good for getting something quick without writing it all out yourself. Perchance has some good AI Erotica bots if you want to spread out a bit more and try other venues. Might be able to make up for the lack of significant Newlife updates.
Oh boy, the AI Story Generator does too. I'm pretty good at spotting words that repeat too closely so I'll swap them out. It's a little tedious but at least I know the story isn't nugget paste. I'll have to try out the AI Erotica bots! Though as I said earlier I'm having a blast "writing" a story out. This format allows me to paint a clearer picture whereas newlife I would fill in the blanks with my imagination. A lot of my actions were "Do Nothing" cause I substituted it as a resist action when "Push Away" wasn't available.
Surely an frequent quirk. If you are using the AI gen I recomended, or similar one I can help with that. AI writes "summary's" every so often after you leave(or so I think). You can scroll up and see them, also you can edit them. I think bot mainly uses these summaries to generate next action. Thus editing them means editing memory of AI. You can see what words AI gets stuck on and Ctrl+F them in past summuries. Great chance you'll find lots of them. I had "USB" thing pop up constantly, don't know what that was about, edited it out of history, AI never mentioned it again. But to be sure I also edited most of text history as well.
Literally me. Newlife taught me to recognize and name female clothing, lol. A point of pride if you ask me.
It's what AI is best at. The whole purpose of LLMs is to generate text. Unlike with artwork there's not many amateur erotica writers who would have been making money off these games anyways. And unlike AI art, games that connect to LLMs can generate basically infinite content.
Its harder to get off to something you yourself made, be it a drawn picture or a written story. The imagination works fine of course, but sometimes you want something that you didn't have a hand in making, something where you don't just come up with everyone's actions and reactions. AI works great for that, you provide a quick example of what you want and it'll come up with a fapfic for it. Is it better than what a human, or you yourself could do? No, but it's something fast and has a surprising amount of versatility, almost like ERPing. It's really great, especially if you have a niche fetish that basically no one ever makes content for, or wants to participate in for ERP purposes.
I agree with the responces, the topic is nuanced. Tbh the "AI books" are sold in amazon for some time already, tech firms LOVE pushing AI writing your emails thing into everyone faces, people did essays with chat GPT for years. You might be late on the hate train.
100% agree with this. I don't condone using AI to make money and all the moral baggage it comes with but I'm enjoying giving it prompts and letting it write a story for my personal use. I've been playing Newlife for years and we all kept saying there's no game quite like Newlife. This won't replace it but it scratches that itch if you lead it towards those scenarios the game has.
Truly a life cycle of newlife enjoyer: See update - get angry - wait - see update, repeat ad infinitum.
Oof, truth. I really wish there were more mini-character-arc things, like the impregnator stories, or the nice guy's bad friend, etc. that gave you a special engagement to aim for.
Man, this shit is hitting me like CRACK. Is this how people get addicted to drugs?
