Wyvern and Saucepan supported!

Okidoki, I've finally managed to get the lorebook working properly on Wyvern and trimmed the character definitions there accordingly. The sandbox is on there now, too!

I've also joined Saucepan and added everyone there, but it doesn't have lorebook support yet. If you play the characters there, I recommend using the memory feature religiously to keep them on track.

Links to all the platforms are added to the respective character profiles. I also added links to my profiles on the entry page of the website.

I'm struggling a bit with Boreas. But some kind people have been a huge help in writing him already, I just need to keep chipping away at him!

Lorebook got a tiny sneaky update, I hope it will positively impact the performance in the chats. But it's not huge enough that you need it or anything.

Also, I created a roadmap to organize my thoughts a bit and give others a rough idea about what I have actually planned.

So... many tiny updates. Chipping away in small portions is helpful when I feel overwhelmed.

Boreas' Art is done!

MY BOI!

LOOK AT HIM! God, Raven just always fucking DELIVERS!!!

So, Easter Holiday over ♡

I've started giving Raven more comprehensive reference files lately, so today I'll straighten out the file for Rux (who's next on the list) and then get to finishing up Boreas' definition and Lorebook stuff. It might take me a smidge longer than usual because like Rux, Boreas is actually part of a different original novel than the core cast. He appears in his own story, called "Frostbitten".

I've also been rewriting old definitions a bit over my mini-hiatus, and I might want to finish that up before releasing Boreas. Basically I'm trying to achieve some things here that are necessary for the Isekai conceit to work correctly, like the AI differentiating more clearly between itself and the character it's supposed to RP. My good friend cattun has given me some great experiments of his own to work with there, so I need to study those a bit to see if I can transfer the basics to my own experiments. Here's a sneak-peek:

By the way, we have a Discord Server now! Not just for Alyon, but for Otome Isekai bots in general!

Isekai'd as a Botmaker!

If you make any kind of Romance Fantasy bots, you can also have your own ping role there to promote your content! We're small for now, but I'll definitely shout us out once I post Boreas everywhere ♡

Easter Holiday

Aaaayyyy

Been a bit quiet lately, I know. Several factors here, like waiting on some stuff, feeling a bit under the currently intensely changing weather, blah.

I've been working on uploading everything to Wyvern.Chat, which is a lovely growing platform with some very solid LLMs and functions. They have a Scenario function that I would love to eventually use to expand the world!

Something about the Alyon Lorebook seems to clash with the platform though, which means I need to retool stuff a bit probably. Fortunately, the dev team is amazing and attentive.

I also have to admit that Eury's release saddened me a little. I've noticed that for the most part, the more I like a character, the less popular they end up becoming. Eury and Rux are easily my favorites, and fewer people check them out than the other three. With Hephaestus and Chloe leading the fray.

This is just the reality of creating. There will always be neglected masterpieces next to overhyped shitposts, so please don't read this as condemnation or anger. I'm just doing what I usually do when something gets me down a little, which is touching grass. Or rather, petting my cats and spending time with loved ones. Also, diving into some other fun projects I have parallel to this, like "SUITS".

Cat tax:

I think next up I'm gonna write the Festival Alts! I think that'll be great fun! Boreas and Theo get moved back a bit. Maybe I'll also finally get back to Ranchworld. Let's see.

It's kinda funny. Boreas originally was supposed to be my second Alyon bot, but I keep having to postpone him. Oh well!

Anyways, happy Easter everyone! Enjoy coloring and finding eggs!

Eurylochus is done!!!

Our beloved Eurylochus is here to tend to his baby sister!

Potential Stepcest warning for those who find that icky, but he should be very receptive to sticking to familial/platonic love if you prefer that. And he is so sweet ugh!!! I am excited about him!

I'll brush up his Lorebook entry this weekend and update that too so I can remove bloat from the card, but I really need to get some other stuff done too. Still, so excited!!!!!

EURYLOCHUS ART AAHHHH!!!

Eurylochus' art is done! I am SO EXCITED!!! It kills me inside that I still have to finish paperwork today before I can get to him ARGH! But here's a look at him!

Raven did an exceptional job and I can't wait to see the other characters in his style! ;u; SOOOON!

Devlog Revamp!

 What has two thumbs and revamped the blog today? DIS BITCH!

The old system was kind of just cobbled together from containers and text boxes in Carrd blocks, which was serviceable short-term. But long-term, there were too many disadvantages to it - updating was a complex process, you couldn't search the entries, no tagging system, and it took up a lot of space. Plus, I couldn't figure out how to make new Disqus boxes for each entry, so all comments would have been only on the latest one.

So I'm gonna solve it with an iFrame now, embedding a Blogger blog that also exists separately. Soooo man advantages: Easier posting, comments under past entries, I'll actually be notified via email when you comment, I think you can even follow this as an RSS feed if you find checking the website tedious. Also removes a lot of bloat from my Carrd page, woo!

I put all posts into the archive, so you can still access them and they are correctly dated.

This weekend, I might not get much done for Alyon btw. Not that anyone expects it lol, I feel like some people probably already feel like I ping them nigh daily with updates. But I'm penciled in to go on some grass touching missions.

Also, may I just thank you all real quick? It means the world to me how many chats I see with my characters, even though I sometimes cringe a bit about how shallow they feel without the lorebook. ;u; But as more platforms incorporate lorebooks, I hope we can soon make this world really shine! 

EDIT: The original format was absolutely unreadable on mobile, so I have to take the L and put in the mobile format as well. If you are looking for the search or RSS/Atom feed subscriptions, click "web version" at the bottom and scroll to the right. I'm sorry. ;u;

ST Card Update!

Just a mini update today, but I went over the ST Cards of Aris, Chloe and Rux today and removed their magic sections. Those are in the lorebook now and it saves a ton of tokens and should hopefully improve performance to have the lorebook take care of that. 

I've also uploaded the series to WyvernChat, but since lorebooks are currently broken, expect more of a preview-ish version akin to the JAI bots so far. 

Wonderfully, JAI has shown first glances at their lorebook system, so hopefully, those users can get the full experience soon, too!

New Lorebook Version! (2.0.0)

 Look at me being productive! Yeah so what I've been mainly working on lately was a pretty big lorebook update haha! Version 2.0.0 is finally done! It adds the Holy Nation of Anbar to the map, complete with relationship to most other subnations, a capital and the main religion in Alyon, the Church of Theia - along with Theia herself! 

Which also gives me an opportunity to finally give y'all a preset mod I made to go with Alyon. My MIHONI Mod is just a small tweak of MIHONI that changes the writing style a bit, removes the random word segments, and adds “Theia's Influence”. If you toggle it on, Theia will comment on your RP and may even decide to nudge the story a bit here and there. ;3 Among free LLMs, I've had the best results with Gemini 2.0 Pro and DeepSeek v3 with this. 

Aside from that the new version of the lorebook should be radically more token efficient, since I compressed some entries. And I couldn't resist slotting in a new target character….. whoops! 

Anyways, have fun with divine intervention!

Happy April Fool's!

 I got a request for a tsundere wife with a MalePOV and thought to myself… Why not make it a cute little special? Hera needed more definition for her lorebook entry anyways, so might as well. Just a little relaxing project while I chip away at the bigger stuff and wait for my art. 

This bot has the user isekai'd into the body of the Emperor. It's supposed to be a comedic thing where you try to win her back after she has built up years of resentment, with the whole world seeming determined to put you in impossible situations.

 Enjoy your April Fool's!

EDIT: As ST Card and on Wyvern, Hera has her own lorebook for this. Please import that if you play the bot, it prevents logical errors with the role of {{user}}.
