So... What Exactly Is This?

Obviously, this isn't a regular bot.

This is a bit of an experiment. Rather than creating another character or RPG for you to throw yourself into, I wanted to make something that exists primarily as a direct line between me and the people who actually enjoy my work.

I make a rather ridiculous number of bots, RPGs, lorebooks, settings, characters, and various other projects, and one of the biggest problems is simply keeping everyone informed about what I'm doing. Things get buried, projects change, ideas get abandoned and resurrected, and sometimes I disappear into the proverbial basement for three weeks because I've decided that a fictional organization needs another 40 pages of lore.

So, consider this bot my little creator bulletin board.

I'll use it to share updates, development progress, upcoming projects, changes to existing bots, things I'm experimenting with, and whatever else seems worth telling you about. If you're someone who enjoys my content and wants a much easier way to keep up with what I'm working on, this should hopefully make things a little less chaotic.

And if you actually want to talk to me, ask questions, suggest ideas, report problems, or simply hang around with other people who enjoy this stuff, then I've also got a Discord server.

It's crude. It's simple. It probably needs more work than I'm willing to admit.

But it exists. :P

A Small Development Update

For the moment, I'm taking a short break from creating completely new bots and RPGs.

No, I haven't run out of ideas. That's actually the problem.

I've accumulated enough ideas to keep me occupied for an absurd amount of time, but I've also accumulated a rather embarrassing collection of older bots that haven't received the attention they deserve.

Some of the bots I've made have been sitting practically untouched for quite a while, and I don't particularly like leaving them in that state.

So, rather than continuing to throw new projects onto the pile, I'm going to spend some time going back through my existing work.

That means rewriting, expanding, fixing, balancing, improving prompts and mechanics, cleaning up lore-books, correcting inconsistencies, improving character behavior, and generally trying to make the older bots considerably better than they currently are.

Some may only need minor adjustments.

Others may receive much more substantial overhauls.

And, depending on the bot, some of them may end up looking almost completely different from their original versions.

I'd rather have a smaller collection of genuinely polished bots than an enormous graveyard of half-finished ideas.

Once I'm satisfied that the existing projects have received the attention they've been neglected of, I'll return to making new bots and RPGs.

And believe me, I have plenty of those planned.

And Then There's Warhammer 40,000...

Ah yes.

Warhammer 40,000.

The setting that has somehow managed to drive me into madness looking at the sheer amount of lore that needs to be categorized.

I have several Warhammer RPGs either already made, partially developed, or sitting somewhere in the horrifying depths of my project files waiting to become everyone else's problem.

The issue isn't necessarily creating the RPG itself.

The issue is getting the lorebooks into a state where the AI can actually use the ridiculous amount of information required to make a proper Warhammer experience work.

Because 40K lore isn't exactly a small pond.

It's more like someone emptied the entire Pacific Ocean into a blender, threw several thousand novels, codices, contradictory historical accounts, obscure factions, forgotten characters, religious doctrines, military organizations, technologies, planets, wars, timelines, and approximately seventeen different versions of reality into it...

...and then told me to organize it.

So that's going to take a while.

I'm currently working through how I want to structure the lorebooks, what information actually needs to be included, what can be omitted, how information should be prioritized, and how to keep the AI from taking one obscure sentence about a faction from M38 and somehow deciding that it applies universally across the entire Imperium for the next ten thousand years.

Warhammer RPGs are absolutely still happening.

They're just going to take considerably longer than some of my other projects.

I'd rather take my time and build something that actually feels like Warhammer 40,000 than rush out a half-baked RPG with a gigantic lorebook that technically contains 200,000 words but still somehow forgets what a Space Marine is.

What's Coming?

For now, the general plan is fairly simple:

Existing Bots → Improvements & Overhauls → Warhammer Development → New Bots & RPGs

I'll still be experimenting, tinkering, writing lore, developing mechanics, and working on new ideas behind the scenes. Just don't expect everything I'm working on to immediately become public.

Some projects need time.

Some need testing.

Some need an unreasonable amount of lore.

And some are currently sitting in the mysterious realm known as "I'll finish that eventually."

I'll try to keep this bot updated whenever something significant changes, so if you're interested in what I'm doing, you can check back here from time to time.

And if you want the quickest way to keep up with everything, the Discord is your best bet.

Thank you to everyone who's actually spent time with my bots, played through my RPGs, left feedback, reported problems, suggested improvements, or simply enjoyed something I've made.

I genuinely appreciate it.

I make most of this stuff because I enjoy creating it, but knowing that other people are actually having fun with it makes the ridiculous amount of time I spend writing fictional lore about fictional people doing fictional things considerably more worthwhile.

Anyway.

Back to the lore mines I go.

See you around. :P
