So uhh, first things first — 280, noice — and second thing, hello! I’m Umbra for the peeps that aren’t in the @Helixus (Greys) Discord server. I don’t really do announcements or discussion stuff well, but here goes.

Soonish (hopefully), I plan to release a lot of gigantic bots, but I’d like to ask both old-timers and newcomers for their opinions on something.

TL;DR: What type of bots do you prefer?

Long version: I have a habit of developing pretty lore-heavy, complex bots, but the problem I keep running into is figuring out how I should move forward. Like... what type of bots do the people who follow me even like?

For example, while I’ve had the option to release single-character or medium-sized bots with scenarios — with giant bots like Eveonne (100+ characters) to get more interest — I haven’t really been doing that because I thought it was kinda redundant. But lately I’ve started releasing one-character bots, and I’m planning to go with a rotation of: character bot → multiple character-scenario bot (medium) → free-scenario bot (giant). What do you think? Bad idea or no?

Additionally, I plan to rework a lot of old bots (or honestly, I’m already in the process of doing that) and add free-scenario versions of bots like Jianghu Eternal. I’m also working on more medium-sized and large-sized bots — what I call half-effort and full-effort bots respectively. (Jianghu Eternal, for example, is a half-effort bot for me.) Same with any bots I make on a whim that end up with like 20k+ tokens in them.

Also a bot that i was making on a whim but is turning gigantic (will likely end up 350k tokens ish unless im miscounting) is this one:

This bot is heavily inspired by Overlord and one other, relatively less popular title, plus a few of my own stories I made on a whim that are set about 1800 years in the future.

The question I wanna ask is: would you prefer the free scenario version of the future bot?

Or would you rather I make a free-scenario version of the MMORPG era of this bot instead so you could play in an YGGDRASIL (Overlord)-like world, back when it was popular in its heyday?

Two giant bots im heavily working on also.

Another question: more male bots? Personally, I don’t really care for those — my universes have a lot of male characters, I just don’t really make bots of them. If people want more, I can release more... or I can just release both male and female versions of the same character, since a lot of them actually have two forms anyway. For example, there’s an unreleased bot I’m planning to drop as one of the teaser bots:

I also have bots like these that i didnt release a fem ver of:

There are a few bots I’ve taken on as suggestions that I do plan to make at some point, but yeah...

Any thoughts would be appreciated; this is more of a rant, honestly speaking.
