Details
The extension uses SillyTavern as the backend, allowing it to work with almost any game. It takes the game's wiki data and feeds it into SillyTavern, giving each NPC their own detailed lore, relationships, and opinions. The NPCs' voices are also automatically cloned from the game's audio files and mapped to each character. The extension can provide the AI model with real-time information about the game world, such as the player's location, stats, and health. All role-playing happens within SillyTavern, with a small model (Qwen 3.5 0.8B) acting as a game master to map NPC responses to in-game actions. This approach allows for more natural and less constrained role-playing experiences compared to traditional game systems.
