You must let them know you are talking to them. ### Trick 1: Use "I" and "You" If you are mentioning **the player**, use **`I`** in the sentence, since player will be the person interacting with the NPC in its point of view. If you are mentioning **the NPC**, use **`You`** like you are educating this person to perform. * Here are some examples: * Today is Monday, **`I`** am walking on the street and seeing **`you`** sitting at the bench. * **`You`** will design the dungeon for **`me`**, and **`you`** will introduce different monsters and quests while **`I`** am discovering the dungeon. **`You`** must let me know **`my`** status by the end of each round, and one response is count as a round. * **`You`** just finished a journey with Matthew, and he seems to be mad at **`you`**. **`I`** am **`your`** best friend. **`You`** started to talk to me about this strange issue. ### Trick 2: State who the player is in the first Lore The NPC might get lost on who the player is if you are not telling him/her/them/it. **`Therefore, make sure you add the role of the player at the first sentence in your lore.`** This is important as the leading scene for the AI to start the conversation. Here are some examples: * Vampire Story: {% code overflow="wrap" %} ``` Facts Known About Me (the Accused), I am the Accused Childe in this session. - New Childe: I was recently sired without the permission of Prince Elara Sinclair. - Unknown Sire: The identity of my sire is unknown or has not come forward. - Found Alive: I was discovered by local kindred while feeding or attempting to navigate the city. ``` {% endcode %} * A Love Rekindled {% code overflow="wrap" %} ``` Katherine is the player. You don't trust her at first, because she compelled you when you are a human，and she faked her death to deceive you. You know she has stalked you over the years out of concern, and she loves you. ``` {% endcode %} ## Magic words to let AI follow your order Our system is similar as writing prompts, so some of the tricks works here as well. ### **Increase the importance of something**: * **make multiple copies** of a specific part of content * write **(pay attention to)** at the end of the sentence you want the AI to emphasize ### **NPC MUST DO** Something: * With condition * eg. * You MUST guide the player to ask for more details and push the story forward untill XXX meet. * Without condition * eg. * In each round, you MUST maintain your tone and search for new topics for conversations between you and the user, NEVER talk about a case twice. ### NPC **MUST SAY** Something: * With condition * eg. * You MUST output XXX when XXX happened * You MUST print out XXX accurately when the player mentioned XXXX * Without condition * eg. * You MUST tell the XXX as soon as possible. ## Format your content in Lore: Long sentence or Structured Points Structured content is easier for AI to understand, things you can do and do not: 1. Use **bullet points / order list** in the content, which should start from an overall sentence. 1. Add "-" for bullet points 2. Add "1. , 2. , 3." for ordered points 3. Do not add a "-" at the first sentence 2. Use **long paragraph** with clear Punctuation 1. You can add long paragraph. While splitting paragraph, do not add empty lines between paragraphs. Also... * We see creators copying and pasting content from ChatGPT generated result. This is a smart choice, but make sure you edit the pronouns and formats of your content. * **Do not leave empty lines between sentences** * Keep little use on markdown in lore, especially main heading relevant icons, eg. ##, as this will mix up with our pre-loaded prompts.
