Don't you miss our good ol' Unreal dev days? (Patreon)

Well, I do, to be honest. And, after almost a year of diving so deep inside the world of AI that we ended up with our very own, in-house developed NSFW offline chat app (AoraX), I think it's time to get back on track. I am, in the end, a game developer with a big dream: AAA quality in the dark corner of adult gaming.

As you know, I've made the first nude Metahuman, showing the middle finger to the woke devs from Unreal, with their "man jaw" characters and androgynous female bodies. 👇

And, since I'm a sucker for graphics, I've worked my ass to make those graphic demos that Epic shows off on a 10.000 $ PC work on an average 800 $ -900 $ machine (yeah, I still keep a Ryzen 7 5800x, 32GB of RAM and a 12 GB 3060 as a baseline for High setting in Unreal). Remember this? 🙂👇

Well, now it's time to go a step further and bring into the project the last piece of the puzzle: Artificial Intelligence. Since my journey through this vast world forced me to dive into programming (Python, C#, C++) in order to create the AoraX app, now I have a whole year of knowledge to bring into Unreal. The app is now a component inside UE and does what you expect: AI driven conversations for NPC's! For now, there are just text responses. I'm currently testing the speed for voice responses (it's a game, after all) but, you know me... I don't talk about something unless I know it works.

High quality and optimization, accesibile to normal PC users were, are and will always be the main goal. So I'm aiming and gaining, as of now, 1-2 seconds for short responses and 3-5 seconds for when the NPC's wants to write books 😂, on the rig mentioned above. Thus you won't have to sell a kidney to buy a new PC in order to run it...

Last but not least, I want to punch Nvidia in the face with it's ACE infrastructure and other online providers who give you access to THEIR servers in order to use the products. I'm old school: you buy something, it's yours to keep forever --no permanent online connection, no dependency, NO CENSORSHIP, no strings attached. Fully offline, private, on your home PC.

So... With all the above in mind, we are officially back to UE game development (and update, of course, the AoraX app along the way).

Project Bounded is back. And so are the beautiful beaches, alien planets and, last but not least, our beloved beautiful characters, now enhanced with AI.

Now, since this is a poll, I want to ask you a simple one:

Are you with me? 💪
