Game takes a good long while to beat now. It feels FAR MORE like a proper game. I added several things I have not shown off yet including a checkpoint system.

The coolest feature in my opinion in this build is the text to image clothing customizer. However I am also very fond of the revamped AI personality and emotion system. Give it a shot!

This build brings a lot of goodies. AI voices (customizable), achievement table, and a new balloon gun arm attachment which is necessary for moving around the map. The full change log is available in the download link page below.

Week before the pre-release build! I don't have very much to show today because I focused on bug-fixing and stability to make sure the coming build for Supporters is stable.
However I did wire up parts of the game so it actually has a bit more gameplay. Namely:
Money is no longer infinite, ordering parts cost cash
Achievements are now functional

9 weeks in and the first pre-alpha teaser is here! Zip file below.
PLAY THE TUTORIAL FIRST
This is supposed to be an evolution of my VivaAI chatbot. While chatbots are neat at first, it's not something that most people come back to use. They are one trick ponies. I'm changing that.
