Awesome, thanks for the update! Now give that yandere catgirl your full attention so she doesn't come after you in a less pleasant way! 💖🔪

Hallo, bonjour, and ciao! AI2U is currently limited to English, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese gameplay, but we plan to introduce more localized options in the future!

In the meantime, the NPCs may pick up on basic conversations in your preferred language but might only reply in English or the default language in your game Settings. Please keep an eye out in case we announce localized versions of the game in your preferred language(s)! 💖🔪

Hi Shivam, thanks for the supportive feedback! As mentioned on our itch.io game page, bugs are expected in this open beta stage and we hope players can report them and still enjoy playing in the meantime. The Early Access version on Steam will likely come with its own share of bugs. Our team promises to patch and delivery builds as efficiently as we can during the development stage while continuing to debug along the way. Please don't hesitate to report any pesky bugs or glitches interfering with your gameplay—we'll make sure to take care of them! 💖🔪

Hiii and thanks for the detailed feedback! We'll likely consider more interactive dynamics with NPCs as we continue developing the game 💖🔪 As for memory, levels in AI2U are currently designed around replayability so you can always revisit your favorite escape scenarios or experiment with new ones! We'll let everyone know when Chat Only becomes available—in the meantime, you might find some interesting information about that on our Steam page's Early Access section! 😸

Hi Tim! Our team is planning to develop for iOS, but we may consider Android down the line if more users request it and if our capacity allows it 💖🔪 We’re exploring more localization options, so stay tuned in case we announce an Arabic version of AI2U!

Hi again Bloo! Thanks for letting us know. Our small team is catching up on emails after a brief getaway with the Catgirl -- if you still haven't heard back from support@alterstaff.io, then please reach out to support@itch.io with more info so they can ensure your message gets delivered. Thank you! 💖🔪

Hi there! If you're still running into this issue even after un/reinstalling the game, please email support@alterstaff.io with more info so we can look into it. Thank you! 💖🔪

Hi jedite! Our current build takes a bit longer than expected to download. If you're still running into trouble, please check + try the following:

• Per the Minimum System Requirements listed on our game page, do you have at least 7GB of memory and disc space on your computer? If so, and the issue persists after restarting your device, please try deleting the game from your computer and then downloading it again from your itch.io game library.
• Try temporarily disabling any antivirus or firewall software on your device during the launching process.
• If you have other devices available to use, you can also try downloading the game on a different computer to see if it launches more easily.

Let us know if you still need help. Thank you! 💖🔪

Hi! You likely ran into a temporary server issue when you reported this a few days ago. It should've been resolved since then, but if you're still running into trouble let us know via email so we can help: support@alterstaff.io 💖🔪

Hi Bloo! For refunds, kindly reach out to support@alterstaff.io so our team can help you out. Unlike the yandere catgirl, we won't pressure you into staying with us forever 💖🔪

Hi Camdy! It's fine if the game isn't to your liking, but to clarify: The only AI in play is the use of Large Language Models integrated into the NPCs' dialogue to allow for an interactive chatting experience rather than fixed dialogue choices. Every other aspect of AI2U is developed by humans allegedly being held captive by the yandere AI catgirl herself. 💖🔪

Hi cool! Anyone who bought the itch.io beta can expect an email with their Steam key after the Early Access release. 💖🔪

Hi! Feedback is best left on the platform you're playing the game on, i.e. Steam for demo feedback and our itch.io comments for open beta feedback.

The NPCs aren't cooperative enough to relay feedback to our team, but players can submit a brief in-game survey to share their thoughts at the end of each round in the open beta. 💖🔪

Thanks Don! We'll add both to our growing list of community requests for future yandere NPCs! 💖🔪

Hi! As we only recently removed the token requirement, we're completely focused on scaling the game's story and features/mechanics among harmoniously alongside the AI side of development. Alternative and locally hosted LLMs are not currently conducive to that side of the game design, but we may consider them in the future 💖🔪

We're fans of exploring what AI is capable of, so if you're curious about other projects of ours that use local models, you can check out Cryptic Creations!

Thanks for the update and for your eagerness to play AI2U! 💖🔪

Hey SilverStar! Your redeem code is the same game/download key generated as part of your itch.io purchase. There are two ways to retrieve your download key:

We're eager for you to kick off your AI2U adventures! If you run into any issues, please email support@alterstaff.io ~ 💖🔪

Hi hako! You can try using a different browser to complete your purchase. If you're still running into issues then please reach out to support@itch.io directly for help. 💖🔪

Hi mini! AI2U is set up to run exclusively using our default setup with the optional API key feature for players who prefer it. We may explore local LLMs and other alternatives in the future!

We won't be replacing the yanderes (we say as they point their weapons of choice at us) but we will consider expanding the NPC roster in the future! 💖🔪

Thanks for the feedback! The yandere demands that you pay constant attention to her up until your last breath 💖🔪

Hi! The AI2U Steam demo is limited to two hours of free gameplay while the beta/EA is where all the magic happens. Players who already use OpenAI API keys can play he original Yandere AI Girlfriend Simulator demo for an experience similar to the Steam demo 💖🔪

Hey Yina, please email support@alterstaff.io with more details so we can help you download the game as planned. Thanks! 💖🔪

EDIT/UPDATE: It's possible there was a server issue or due to a laggy internet connection around the time you posted the video (assuming it's shortly after you played). If the issue persists, kindly email the team with more info as instructed. Thanks!

Original Reply: Thanks, we'll check it out! To help us track future bug reports, please email support@alterstaff.io with a brief description and timestamped links (or attach cropped clips) showing the issue in action. Thank you! 💖🔪

Hi Drummer! Please contact support@alterstaff.io using the email connected to your purchases so we can verify and compensate you accordingly. Thank you 💖🔪

Thank you for your continued support and being a part of our yappy-savvy game! The yanderes love it and we love knowing you all have fun with them 😻🔪

Lotsa kisses, huggies, and glomps from your favorite NPCs too!!!

Perhaps, if the catgirl will allow for even more competition! 💖🔪

Hi Devilscorpion! With our recent version update, players no longer have to worry about tokens or repurchasing them! You can expect a similar setup on Steam 💖🔪

We have also updated this very devlog we're replying to you on, so feel free to check it out for more info.

Thank you, and enjoy endless chats with your faves now that they offed tokens! 😻🔮💫

Hi again! Can you confirm if you ran into this super secret way to escape glitch on the same day you posted the video? We patched some known bugs across the spaceship in our last update and want to make sure we didn't miss any! Thank you 💖🔪

Hi Lost Pine! 🌲😼 The NPCs may still express anger or hesitancy after unlocking parts of their respective maps... They're like that sometimes, it's a combo of the overly passionate part of their yandere personalities + bot brain! We'll see if we can tweak that somehow.

As far as the AI and game dev goes, them being upset after gaining trust shouldn't be an issue as long as they don't immediately kill you for unlocking doors. You can usually apologize, talk them through your process of finding/exiting the room, or change the subject and they'll snap out of their upset spells, even if it takes some persuasion. 

Hi Justice! The only thing players redeem now is the game key accompanying their purchase for infinite gameplay. 💖🔪

Hi SillyGamer! Please review our typical launcher troubleshooting process below:

 To start, please check the following:

a. That your internet connection is fairly stable and fast

b. If you have at least 7 GB of memory and disc space on your computer

c. If you're a Mac user, please confirm if you followed the download extraction steps shared on the right side of this image--Specifically for Mac users, you would need to drag the file titled AI2ULauncher.app to a different folder than the default Downloads Finder:

If the launcher still gives you trouble after following these steps, kindly email support@alterstaff.io with more info. Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback, cool23! We'll see if the mysterious "Chat Only" feature might unlock some of those themes... 🗝️🙀

Hi VSS! Aside from OpenAI API keys, AI2U currently doesn't support alternate means to play. We may consider additional models in the future once this first-of-its-kind AI-fueled adventure is more stable!

Hi cool! We don't have official walkthroughs yet, but our resourceful community is ready to help out on our Discord server 💖🔪 You may also find players on YouTube who documented their playthroughs!

Thanks so much for being a part of this journey, Sanerin! We hope you'll be a part of it forever 💖🔪

Thanks again for playing with Eddie! How does Catgirl 2.0 compare to her YAGS counterpart? 😸🔪

Thanks for playing our demo! We're glad you enjoyed spending a few hours with Eddie 💖🔪 We've been upping our giveaway game on our community and social channels, so feel free to connect with us on your favorite platforms so you don't miss the next opportunity to win a Steam or itch.io key!! 🗝️
