Hey hey! 👋
I just released a demo version of the game I'm working on: Unity-Chan: Desktop Companion!

https://trustyjacopo.itch.io/unity-chan-desktop-companion-demo

In short the game is a combination of a desktop mascot and a virtual room of mini-games to play with her. Think of it as two worlds connected: Unity-chan can visit your desktop, and you can visit her room and spend time together! 🤎🧡

1. Open communication API
You can enable UCDC to listen to requests from other applications. You're making some challenging game? How about you add requests that makes Unity-chan mock the player every time they make mistakes! Or maybe you're doing a puzzle game, then Unity-chan could send indirect hints to the player. An integration between games, a true UNITY! Get it? Because of ... okay, onto next point

2. Mod support
We can't talk extensibility without the most common way. As for now I made sure that the game supports at least 4 major things to be modded:
- Character model obviously, I just can't wait to see Unity-chan turning into an even prettier creature like Shrek
- Text-generation API, as the game uses built-in LLM, I know other people would love more performant systems, I already made ChatGPT mod myself
- Voice-gen API, same for above, one could want to have real voice for Unity-chan answers, ChatGPT and ElevenLabs mods already made
- Personality override, just so overriding model doesnt end on just looks

3. Twitch Integration
This one is more for content creators, but I wanted to showcase the extent I'd love the game to be integrated with. With this enabled, you can make Unity-chan respond to the chat on your stream. You can set the interval so she doesn't flood with too much activity. And I made globally available hotkey to shut her current talk in case viewers lead her to undesirable topics. 😅 And don't worry, I made sure Unity-chan is really safe guarded in terms of NSFW topics.

Oh and one thing - the game uses LLM to generate chat and can possibly generate voice responses in real time, but no art or any assets were made using AI! Unity-chan herself is a free asset made by Unity Technologies, and most others were either made by me, commissioned to artists or bought as asset packs.

Feel free to hit me up if you'd be interested in adding integration with my game.

Maybe we could cross-promote our games and create one big commUnity! yeah I did it again
