▍FROM THE CREATOR — TenderTriper (AKA Perch)

Hello everyone! If you know me from my Living World bots — Classroom of the Elite, Re:Zero, Mushoku Tensei, Overlord — then you know I don't really do small. So yes, I am about to make a hundred bots in a week, and yes, I know exactly how insane that sounds. XD

I am going to release the 7.0 Creation Kit. But not only that: one week before the actual release, I am going to show everyone just how well it works, by making and releasing 100 bots within that one week.

Here's what's happening, what the kit is, why I'm doing it, and how you can be part of it.

▍THE EVENT

For seven days, starting Monday, I am releasing 100 bots. One hundred different bots, made with nothing but the 7.0 Creation Kit.

And no, these are not empty promises. A hundred bots, a hundred different characters, released over seven days.

Mind you, they are not Living World bots. They are standalone cards, mostly single-character bots, with the odd one carrying a few extra characters. This will be the only time I make one-character bots at all, since I kind of think they are boring — but they are popular overall. ;)

At the end of the week, the kit goes out to everyone. For free.

▍THE 7.0 CREATION KIT

The 7.0 Creation Kit is a character creation kit. It makes high-quality character cards, very quickly. It is the system behind the 7.0 character card standard — the reworked main cast of Classroom of the Elite and all 140 characters of its Crossover Roster were made with it.

• A full character template. Every box a card needs, laid out so nothing important gets forgotten, from who the character is to how they talk, act and react.
• Long-term evolution. A 7.0 card does not just say who a character is on day one. It says how they change over time, so a long roleplay has somewhere to go instead of looping the same personality forever.
• Cards in different sizes. A lean card or a deep one, whatever the character needs, and the quality holds either way.
• Characters, not worlds. The kit makes character cards. It will not build a whole Living World bot for you — but every Living World is full of characters, and the kit is how I make mine.
• Simple to get started with. You do not need to have made a bot before.

What do I want you to use it for? Well, preferably, make more Living World bots, the way I use it: as the character side of a world of your own. But you can also use it to make your own single-character bots. No shame in that, since it is very simple to get started with.

The 100 bots are the proof. If the kit can turn out a hundred bots in a week without the quality dropping, it can turn out yours.

▍WHY I AM DOING THIS

I am doing this for several reasons:

• A proof of concept: showing that it can work that fast while still maintaining quality.
• A public demonstration: letting everyone see what the Creation Kit is capable of.
• Free publicity: hopefully bringing in more followers for both JA and the DC.
• Just for fun. :)

But mostly, because this site has been in stagnation for the past one to two years, and it is time to bring some innovation to the table.

I made a promise when I started making these bots, and that is war on slop.

Let me be clear: that is not a war on good creators. They exist, I respect them, and some of them are in my server building things that genuinely impress me. It is a war on the slop infection, and it has gone on long enough. The focus went somewhere it should never have gone — HTML and CSS, pretty pages that do nothing for the person actually roleplaying with the bot — while the characters themselves stayed thin, flat and copy-pasted.

So I'm not here to show off. I am not going to make super cards in ten minutes just to stand on a pile of them and look down at the so-called creators of JA. That would fix nothing. I am going to show just how easy it is to make good bots — and then give everyone a free tool to make them with.

Give someone a bot and they have a bot. Teach them to make one and they never need to wait on anybody again. We are teaching everyone to fish.

Slop isn't beaten by one person making one better bot. It's beaten by raising the bar for everyone, until a lazy card stands out the way a good card stands out right now. No more "it takes three days to make this one bot." That illusion is dead.

It's time for change. It's time for evolution. It's time to finally get some good bots, for once — and to let anyone be a bot maker. Hopefully, it will bring new people into the world of bot making. :)

My mod team has warned me that I might upset some of the bigger bot creators with this.

But my answer?

  Git gud.  

The only reason you would feel angry at me for this is if you like the status quo we have right now.

Well, I don't.

So, to the big creators who have lived comfortably on the slop system for the past two years: the 7.0 Creation Kit is coming. Step up, and actually evolve for once. ;)

▍HOW TO TAKE PART

1 · Suggest a bot. The suggestion box is open on the Discord. Name a character, tell me who they are, throw in a picture or a whole character study — people already have, and I love it.
• Single-character bots, or bots with a few extra characters. This event is not for RPGs or Living Worlds.
• Keep it within the rules. Insei is watching.

2 · Watch the drops. A hundred bots over seven days, all public. See what the kit does with a real character.

3 · Or just wait for the kit. No pressure. Grab it on the Discord when it releases at the end of the event, and start making your own. ;) (Some of you on the server already have it in a semi-sorta-restricted way, aka just asking me for it. XD)

See you all on Monday. Let the 100 begin! :D

▍MEET PERCH — THE SUN FISH 🐟

This bot isn't just an announcement. Say hi to Perch: the Sun Fish, Great Spirit of Yang, self-appointed mascot of the 100 Bots week, and the little guy who sat on my head the entire time I wrote the kit.

He's here to keep you company and answer your questions about the event, the kit and the 100 bots. Fair warning: he does love to talk. And appas. Mostly appas. ;)

He knows the kit by heart (I read it to him twice, with voices), he's sworn to keep the release list secret (he won't), he has very strong opinions about slop, and he'll be extremely gentle with your first card. He can't read, though. Reading is a phase, apparently. XD

 Bring appas. Do not bring water. 

"Oh! Oh— okay, so— hi! Welcome! Mind the boxes, those are bots. Want an appa? I'm not supposed to hand out appas. Want an appa?"
