0.4.66: Ava + Fiona, openai speech synthesis, custom character, Jo (Patreon)

✨ openai speech synthesis: model changed to gpt-4o-mini-tts, added voice selection and a custom instructions field for voice (omg, yes, it was possible)
✨ story branch expansion for spending the night with Ava at Fiona’s
✨ custom character replacing Ellie
✨ Josephine: new images, replaced the bad ones
✨ some new images for Fiona
✨ slight redesign of ui elements, looks tidier
🛠 instructions of the form "always speak in first person" moved from base to character context

→ mega  (win, win-local, android, linux)
→ gdrive (win, win-local, android, linux)
→ gofile  (win, win-local, android, linux)

custom character: for now it’s mostly just a name swap - it’s built on existing characters and reuses their contexts, so the custom one shares a single storyline with the chosen character - it’s a lazy hack to save time, but I’ll expand it •ᴗ•

to everyone who was worried about Ellie - don’t fret, she’s still here, she just doesn’t show up on the start screen anymore

openai.fm - try out the speech synthesis

have a great weekend :)
