It's been a while again, even longer than past times, but here's the breakdown:

• Saori (not Sayori) from P-Club

• DISCLAIMER: Despite being Hispanic myself, I don't speak Spanish or know shit about Peruvian culture. Additionally, since I only speak English, the bot is primarily in English. However, sometimes it can go too far into the Spanish direction, in which case I'd just recommend rerolling. It's really tricky to get the balance right. If you have any suggestions on how to improve the system I used, please leave them below, but know that I tried my best 😭

• Other Disclaimer: Although this might be obvious, when making the bot, I tried to play into their behavior in the series, which are kinda caricatures of the originals, rather than their original DDLC counterparts.

• The others are also there (this is lowkey just a whole club but so far, but when it started out the main idea was about Saori)

• 5 planned intros (I'm working on it!)

  • Money issues (like in EP1)

  • Peru's got talent (like in both episodes)

  • Walking Saori to School (not done yet)

  • Something like the festival from actual DDLC

  • Custom intro thingy for you to make yourself

• Possibly adding other P-Club characters or other intros if I feel like it

• I've tested this a little bit with JLLM and a decent amount using proxies. JLLM didn't seem to do too well, but that might just be my bias. The proxies fared better, as expected.

Now that that's all spoken for, time for the yappage. NGL, I have no clue how long it's been since I've posted a bot. I've not been too busy recently, I just suck at generating ideas, let alone acting upon them. While I have been 'making' bots, they've just been private bots that are edited versions of other people's stuff, which I obviously can't post (at least not without a lot of effort to make it my own), which I have considered, but not acted upon. I also had an idea for some OC bots, but given that they're just vague representations of myself, and I don't even have a strong sense of self, that'll probably also be on the stove for a while, if I ever decide to do it at all. But hey, maybe posting this will send me into one of those dopamine loops that has me consistently uploading fot a short bit.

Regardless, I recently learned about this series and have really loved it so far! I've always been a bit of a DDLC head, so when I see a funny animator making content about it, you know I had to tap in. I've been watching the pilot and the two episodes over and over while brainstorming what I wanted to do with this. Why did I decide this needed to be a bot? I dunno, but other people have done it as well, so whatever. I just wanted to chat with my favorite airhead, ok? I believe GBT said they're gonna be less ambitious with future episodes than episode 2, so maybe the wait won't be as long for 3? Anyway, point is, this shit is tuff.

And you might be questioning why I didn't upload this when I had all the intros done. Well... I kinda suck at doing intros. Idk why. It's the slowest part of the process for me. And I'm a procrastinator. So it might take a bit. And I wanted to get this out to y'all sooner rather than later! I've already been sitting on this for several days, just talking to the bot introless style, I don't want to stall any longer.

I didn't use the scenario feature this time. I feel like it doesn't do much and is always an afterthought with my bots. If this is a mistake, lmk ig...

Anyway, I recently learned that the $5 deal thing with Chutes is ending soon, so I gotta lock in and find something else to use before it expires. Recommendations are welcome!

Also, this is completely unrelated to anything, but I have recently discovered that The Binding of Isaac might be my favorite video game ever. I have never gotten addicted to a game so fast. To put it in perspective, I got the game on Christmas day last year, and I already have 600 hours in it. I am scared I will never love another game as much as I love this one ever again. I'm almost at my first Dead God file, by the way... Super stoked about that. But I kinda left all the shitty challenges I hate and greedier mode stuff for last, which will suck to go through.

Ok, I think that's all I had to yap about for now. Might update the description later. Lemme know if you have any suggestions! Anyways, happy chatting chatters!

Follow or Luis Miguela will get you.

Updates:

3/14: Added 2nd intro and Luis Miguela. Attempted to make language stuff more consistent. It kinda worked? Still fairly inconsistent.
