Now, regarding the known issues: Male Haircuts are currently highly unoptimized and have yet to be integrated into the new configuration system. Also, a lot of already implemented textures and assets need to be reworked to be fully compatible with all the new rendering settings and optimization. A prime example of this is how scalp textures will have visible levels of detail due to textures not having any edge bleeding, this has been added to my giant to-do list, and will be resolved in the next versions. In the meantime, don't hesitate to report other anomalies you could spot!

This is the first module made for Lucid Lust! Lucid Chat is a fully uncensored local AI chat!

- You can either load a character personality from a card or talk with an uncensored AI (Lucy)

- When chatting with characters, they will have the personality and voice entered in their forms

- Characters will know everything about themselves, and will act accordingly

- On the other hand, Lucy is more of an assistant, a bit like ChatGPT but without restrictions

- Lucy should be the most useful to create stories and dialogues, but you can do whatever you want of course

- When chatting with Lucy, a button lets you disable boundaries and go beyond any limits if you ever meet one

- Download "LucidChat.zip"

- Extract it inside AppData\LocalLow\Lucid Lust\Lucid Lust\

- You should now have a file named "LucidChat.lucid" inside the "modules" folder

- You will now be able to click on the "Lucid Chat" button in the Modules section of the main menu!

Q: AI Chat for Lucid Lust? Why?
A: I feel like it matches my aspiration for Lucid Lust to become an all-in-one uncensored tool to empower creators of all kinds.

Q: Will I need to download Lucid Chat again in the future?
A: No! Everything needed for the future is already included in the module. Install it once, and future Lucid Lust updates will evolve it automatically.

Q: How much can I customize the character's personality?
A: There is no limit. The more you enter information in the character's form, the more time it will take for your initial character load but the more fleshed out your character will be. You don't need to be overly precise since the AI will do the heavy lifting for you, for example, if in a character's bio you tell that they lived in China all their childhood, they will be smart enough to know that they can speak Chinese even if you don't precise it. If you put "horror movies" in their dislike section, without any reasons in the bio, they will simply come up with a reason as to why they do not like horror movies, same thing for the like section, the sexual orientation, etc. Another great example is if you make a lesbian girl, and present yourself as a male, she will not get sexually interested in you.

Q: Can we only use keyboard inputs?
A: For now, yes. But you are not forced to use dialogue, you can also describe actions with asterisks like take your hand/wink or make things happen by describing it like 1 week later/phone rings, more possibilities coming in the future. Also, keep in mind that what monkey AI see, monkey AI do, so if you don't like the AI to use asterisks, try not using them yourself.

Q: How will this module evolve in the future?
A: I plan to add more tools, such as generating dialogues and interactions between multiple AI characters, exporting transcripts, rewriting AI responses, refining character card personalities from the chat itself, integrating 3D interactions, adding memory files, allowing microphones as an input, and more.

Q: Why make it a module and not an integrated system?
A: For two main reasons: 1. This would make Lucid Lust weigh 7Gb more! 2. Not everyone will be able (or even want to) run Lucid Chat.

As always, thanks a lot for your amazing support! This project wouldn't be anything without you all! ♥

I hope that this update will bring you joy, and as always, thank you a lot for your amazing support! My life wouldn't be where it is if it weren't for you amazing people! ♥ ♥ ♥
