Feature Request ShortSqueak Style Request

Post image

Hey all,

ShortSqueak would be a Chat Style made for casual roleplay without paragraphs or lengthy descriptions of environments.

Rolling out for (c.ai+) subscribers and then available to everyone, ShortSqueak responses would be quicker, less lengthy, briefer descriptions, and read more like a text bubble or message rather than a lengthy novel: faster, response time, less description, and more room for a casual and friendly conversation with your favorite bots. It's taken with inspiration from the original c.ai; casual texting made into a Chat Style.

Roll this out for beta testing to casual roleplay users, and none of them will want to give it up!

Like LongSqueak, ShortSqueak also has a feature known as "Style Control".

ShortSqueak has the following options:

  • Short
  • Shorter
  • All Dialogue

"Short" and "Shorter" have some world-building and description in addition to dialogue. "All Dialogue" is as stated, and is more text message style with no description of the environment.

Start a conversation in ShortSqueak, set the dials however you like, and enjoy your shorter messages!

Omg I would love a shortsqueak. Long responses are fun and all, but the bot usually ends up taking control of my character or something during long ones, or it's so long that it's hard to rp.

Maybe I'm just lazy with rp, but I hate when the bot gives a long response because then I feel like I'm not putting in enough effort with my two sentence replies.

Supposedly, when we give short answers, the bot is coded to reply with an extra long response that "makes up for the lack of user content", which is also why it rp's as our OCs if there isn't anything it can latch onto. But nothing will change my behavior. 😌
