Endless Visual Novel

FAQ from Endless Visual Novel

What is EndlessVN?

Endless Visual Novel is an AI storytelling game where all assets — graphics, music, story and characters — are generated by AI as you play. No two playthroughs will ever be the same.

How does this compare to other AI storytelling tools?

EndlessVN is primarily a game, not a writing tool. It's easy to use without complicated settings. However, you still have control over the world and story. It can also be used as a tool for creating Choose-Your-Own-Adventure (CYOA) visual novels.

How far along is the development of EndlessVN?

The underlying engine is playable but constantly being updated and improved based on user feedback.

What models are used to generate the story?

Text generation for EndlessVN uses GPT-J / GPT-NeoX. More models will be available in the future.

How are the visuals generated?

Sprites and backgrounds are generated using diffusion models like Stable Diffusion. Language models are used to prompt the generation of characters and backgrounds specific to the story and setting.

How is the music generated?

Various neural nets are used to generate midi samples which are then post-processed to improve quality. Initially, the soundtrack is generated randomly, but there will be ways to control it later on.

When can I join EndlessVN?

You can join right now by signing up on the website. Feedback can be shared on the Discord community.

How much does EndlessVN cost?

There are three subscription tiers: Free, Voyager, and Creator. The pricing may change during development. Free tier allows playing public stories, while Voyager and Creator tiers offer AI-generated adventures and customization options.

How are my stories kept private?

Stories are stored securely using AES-256 encryption. Generated assets are not linked to your account. Anonymized metadata may be collected for AI improvement but is not linked to your account.

Who is behind EndlessVN?

EndlessVN is developed by Augnition, a small R&D company based in Helsinki, Finland.

Will there be a multiplayer option?

Multiplayer is planned for implementation in the future.
