  Refined Settings, New Backends, and Text-to-Speech!

  Hello Again, Readers, Writers, and Dreamers. A new Settings Menu is now in testing, designed to preserve all of our advanced features while making them far more approachable and user-friendly. Building on the settings overhaul introduced around Christmas, this updated interface maintains the same level of customization without overwhelming new users.We’ve also introduced major backend upgrades for both text and image generation, adding support for the latest models. In addition, text-to-speech support has been integrated into our newest beta build and is currently undergoing testing. We're only going to include one voice when we launch the feature but we'll be adding alternate voices shortly afterward. More to follow soon.Infinitely grateful for your support. Chris

  Huge Backend and Settings Menu Update!

  Happy Holidays to our wonderful customers! We've rolled out a big update to our main branch that adds the following: Inference Engine Updated - We now support text models created before September 2025 Image Engine Updated - Latest Image backend has support for Custom Stable Diffusion 1.5, SDXL, and Flux models with custom VAE, Clip, T5, and LoRAs. Revamped Settings Menu - Added options in the settings menu for browsing to your own model files, VAE, Clip, T5 and LoRAs along with a slider to choose between multiple customizable presets. You also have the ability to select which GPU is used for Image Generation for users with multiple GPUs (Previously everything defaulted to GPU0) Cloud Support for Google Gemini API - You can now use google gemini based cloud models for text and image generation. More cloud providers to follow soon! *NOTE* Cloud Generation will send your story data and input to google, so if privacy is important to you we still recommend using local generation options. I think this is obvious but still thought I'd mention it. A link on the image and text generation tabs in the settings menu to download new models from CivitAI (image models, VAE's, Clip's, T5's and LoRAs) and Huggingface (gguf format text models) Fixed a bug where RTX 5090 GPUs were not being properly detected As always, feel free to post on our discussion section if you encounter any issues or have any questions - I'm always here to help! Happy Holidays and thank you for your support!

  More Beta Additions! Inference Backend Update

  Hey storytellers, quick dev update!We’re still hard at work — and while the new settings menu is still in beta, there’s a good reason: 🔧 We’ve been busy upgrading the llama-cpp backend DLL to support the latest models.Why now? Because the new settings system makes it super easy to load your own custom models and we wanted to make sure the latest models work right out of the box. Maximum compatibility = maximum creative freedom. ✅ This updated backend DLL is now live in the Open Beta branch and ready for testing. Try it out with your favorite GGUF models and let us know how it goes! P.S. We’ve also included a new optional model file in this beta: LFM2, a brand-new release from Liquid.ai. It’s impressively lightweight at just 1.2GB, making it a great option for those running on 6GB GPUs or even 8GB GPUs with other apps running in the background. It also runs surprisingly fast with CPU based inference! If you’ve struggled with getting 4GB models like Phi-3.5 to run smoothly, LFM2 should offer a fast, responsive alternative that still delivers fairly solid results.That said, due to its small size and limited context window, LFM2 may occasionally repeat page content or miss instruction cues. It’s only about three weeks old, so there's a good chance the creators are actively improving its instruction-following behavior. In the meantime, it’s still a fun model to experiment with while we continue to investigate these quirks and complete our rollout of full cloud support. Due to it's quirks it is not enabled or used by default, you will need to add it via the settings menu's Text-Generation tab.Regardless of the model selected for general generation, exit choice generation will continue to use the default Phi-3.5 model for now, thanks to its strong and consistent instruction-following performance.🌩 Cloud Support NewsWe’re also making great progress on a modular cloud provider system, which will allow us to plug in different cloud services for those of you who prefer SaaS-ba...

  🎮 A Letter to Our Community - Enhanced Settings System Now in Open Beta

  Dear Constant Readers, I’ve got a lot to share - but if you're the tl;dr type, scroll to the bottom for the short version. When I started building this game, I had a vision: true local AI storytelling where your stories, your choices, and your data stay completely yours. No servers, no subscriptions, no compromises. Just you and the infinite possibilities of AI-powered storytelling - without getting cut off right when things are getting good because you hit a token limit. I've been there and it sucks. But this journey started even simpler than that. I wrote the first prototype version of this for my 3-year-old daughter Molly - to make our storytelling nights more magical. Then I started having so much fun with it that I thought other folks might enjoy it too.That's why we're here today. You Made This Possible:I launched this on my late Grandfather's birthday toward the end of March, not knowing if anyone would care about local AI gaming. Some Steam games sell 20 copies and disappear. But y'all? Hundreds upon hundreds of you believed in this vision. You bought it, you played it, you gave feedback, you stuck with me through rough patches.Thank you, truly 🥹.Without you, this would just be a bedtime story app for Molly and I. Instead, it's become something real, something meaningful, something that's growing every week because you made it matter. Thank y'all for helping to make this better for everyone else.Every sale, every review, every bug report - you turned a dad's coding project into an actual game that people love. That's humbling beyond words. I owe you and will continue to support this for as long as you guys keep showing up to play and purchase it. That's the least I can do in return for the trust you've given me. You trusted me with your money and your time. That trust means everything to me. What's in Open Beta Right Now:I spent the whole weekend rebuilding our settings system from the ground up. No more guessing what text models you have configured or image...

  Released: Flux DLC Model Pack

  ✅ Released: Flux DLC Model Pack The Flux model pack is now available as a free DLC! If you’ve been enjoying the enhanced image generation quality Flux provides, you can now re-enable it by downloading the optional Free DLC directly from the Steam store page. We originally removed Flux from the main install earlier this week to reduce download size and disk usage — especially for users who didn’t need the advanced models. This new setup keeps the base game lightweight while still offering power users full access to Flux’s high-quality image generation. 💾 How to Enable Flux: Go to the game’s Steam page. Scroll to the DLC section and check the box for Flux Models. Once it finishes downloading, launch the game and head to Settings → Image Generation. Toggle Flux on — and you’re good to go! Alternatively: If you're viewing this post immediately after the DLC's release, the dlc may not yet be viewable on the game's main steam page until steam updates their caches. You should still be able to download it via search or via this direct link. We’re still huge fans of Flux’s visual output and thrilled to bring it back in a way that’s more efficient and optional for everyone. Thanks again for all your support and input! With our Neverending Gratitude, — The Neverending AI Storybook Team
