What is the minimum GPU requirement to run the AI model locally?

You will need at least a NVIDIA RTX 2080 or equivalent GPU to run the AI model locally.

Why does the game's AI not respond quickly or correctly?

Playing on an outdated system or mobile device would most certainly result in poor performance. Additionally, if your AI model is too old or quantized heavily, it may not produce coherent responses expected by the game.

What are some recommendations for running the game with limited VRAM?

You can use a setup like AI Roguelite with an NSFW llm (7-8B q4 k_s/m) and instruct model on top of Stable Diffusion 1.5, which requires just 8GB of VRAM.

How can I ensure the game parses JSON responses correctly?

The AI must produce valid JSON response format such as {"game_text": "something something", "stats_updates": [{"Health":-5}]}. Ensure there are no syntax errors like missing quotation marks or closing brackets.

Is it possible to store game states and variables for continuity?

Currently, the game tends to forget previous actions unless included in your action text. Modifying local files might help but specific requirements for creating new scenarios are not clear yet. Save files can be found in %APPDATA% under the game's folder name.

Are there any plans to add features like inventory management?

New features such as inventory and equipment management will be added but they need to be toggleable because complex AI models might confuse smaller ones. The latest patch on itch.io has fixed issues with newline characters.

Why does the AI keep forgetting things in the game?

The default AI model has a memory limit of 2k characters, which can cause it to forget information. To improve this, use an external AI provider with higher memory capacity such as the Mistral Nemo model that supports up to 128k memory.

How do I fix the save file bug in the game?

The game has a local storage limit of 5MB. If you encounter issues with large saves, download and install the latest patch from itch.io or wait for updates to other download mirrors.

Can old version saves be used in the new version?

Yes, the new version automatically converts and transfers existing saves without any issues.

How can I increase the AI memory limit when hosting locally?

Go to Menu -> Settings and adjust the game settings to set a higher memory limit. By default, it assumes only 2k characters but you can use models like the free metallama from OpenRouter with up to 120k memory.

What are some alternatives for hosting AI locally?

Consider using dedicated LLMs such as Aihorde or Textgen, which tend to work well. There is also a free platform called OpensourceAI that can be used.

How does the game handle regeneration of stats like HP and stamina?

By default, each request takes at least 1 hour for stats such as HP and stamina to regenerate based on hours passed. The next patch will allow this time frame to be set to zero.

What is the issue with AI ignoring world rules?

Different AIs have varying limits on rule adherence, so removing certain rules can help reduce issues. Currently searching for an uncensored AI that works well with the game's mechanics.

Unique Gameplay Mechanics

• Ingesting slimes can transform you into a Slime Queen and allow for the creation of half-slime offspring.
• Transformed players can turn abandoned locations into homes for their growing slime family.

Game Settings and Performance

• Increase the maximum memory setting to enhance context information sent to the model, improving weaker models' performance.
• Test save persistence across different downloaded versions of the game.

Progression and Saves

• Create a step-by-step guide for saving progress in the game to prevent losing advancements.
• Be cautious when switching between worlds, as stats may differ. Consider merging or removing old world stats carefully.

AI Interaction Tips

• Commands have more impact on AI behavior than regular sentences; use them strategically.
• Correcting the AI's response can lead to unexpected outcomes, such as an accusatory tone. Be mindful of how you phrase corrections.

Technical Issues

• If encountering 'failed to complete action' errors, it might be due to reaching a limit set by the AI provider.
• Different versions like Formamorph 1.0.3 and Koboldcpp 1.84.1 may work fine for some users.
