Interacting with
AI Characters
Master the core skill that shapes every story in Neverending: interacting with AI Characters through text. By using a simple but powerful format, you can bring your roleplay to life.
Interaction Advantages
Clearer Communication
Helps AI understand whether you're speaking or acting.
More Immersive Roleplay
Creates a richer, cinematic storytelling feel.
Consistency Across Stories
Works in all story genres and modes.
Key Elements
Dialogue in Quotes ""
Anything your character says should be wrapped in quotation marks.
Actions in Bold **
Physical movements, emotions, or expressions are shown in double asterisks.
Mix Dialogue & Actions
Combine both in a single turn for richer storytelling. This standard format makes it intuitive and compatible.
Basic vs. Advanced
❌ The Basic Way
"Hello, how are you today?"
While the AI understands this, it gives them very little context to work with, leading to generic responses.
✅ The Advanced Way
"Hello, how are you today?" **I look down at my hands, nervously shifting my weight as the rain pours around us.**
By adding actions and setting the scene, the AI can react to your nervousness and the weather!
Pro Tips
Set the Scene
Don't wait for the AI to describe the environment. Take control and establish where you are and what the vibe is.
Drive the Action
Instead of just reacting, make bold moves. AI characters shine when they have to adapt to your unexpected decisions.
💡 Special Note: Inner Thoughts
You might be tempted to write your character's inner monologues using parenthesis like (I secretly hated that idea). While this guides the AI, it breaks immersion in a game setting.
The Pros
- Helps the AI perfectly understand your character's motivations.
- Good for collaborative story writing.
The Cons
- The AI might accidentally "read your mind" and respond to things you haven't said out loud.
- It removes the challenge. This is an interactive game; let the AI guess your intentions through your actions and expressions instead!
Now that you know how to express your words and actions, step into a storyline and make every choice count. Your AI Characters are waiting to respond.
