Hey, so I've been pretty busy with work and trying to get my life together so I haven't been able to really update or create new bots. I'm still here. I'm just dealing with some shit so I figured I'd make a little post to let people know what's going on with my bot creation stuff and activity on this site.

I actually have a little roadmap of sorts I wrote for myself and some of it has been slowly worked on bit by bit... first of all, here's the overall plan: After I finish the ZZZ bots I have in my backlog I'm going to focus my effort on updating all of my previous bots. I want to slightly move away from ZZZ characters after that and work on other characters I think would be fun. I'll still occasionally make a ZZZ character or two after since I'm pretty sure those are what people follow me for, but I want to have more variety.

I'm going to consider a bot completely done/updated when it has 3 different intro messages/scenarios (second and third person variations of each), complete faction lorebooks, and good quality/accurate images for each intro message. I've already been testing intro images on my Nicole bot with some very quick shitty generations from Gemini, so let me know if you want to see more of that and if it helps with the immersion.

After I catch up on my bots I want to write a detailed guide on how I get LLMs to portray characters so accurately in order to help people create their own bots. It'll have info about lesser known quirks on LLM behavior, how they read and process profiles/personas, a guide to token efficiency and reliable formatting, how to optimize lorebooks, etc.

Anyway, regarding the ZZZ bots I have lined up, the next ones you can expect from me are, Cissia (because who doesn't love her?), Manato (men lovers rejoice), and Alice.

Soukaku will also return.

TL;DR: I'm not dead. Life very busy and hard.
