Kipple

Kipple uses generative AI during play. A local language model produces creature dialogue and identity text, and a local image model paints creature artwork using the game's species, palette and trait recipes, including unusual hybrids. The resulting artwork is animated by the game's expressions, blinking, motion and elemental effects.

The AI models and runtime come with the game and run on your PC. You do not need a personal AI subscription or API key. Memory uses locally stored conversation notes to provide context for later replies; your conversations do not alter the included models. Generation time and results vary with your hardware and may require another attempt.

Conversations and creature memory files stay on your device in the included configuration. Steam authentication and inventory requests go online. Generated creature artwork, animated inventory images and item metadata are uploaded to Kipple's service for moderation and Steam inventory delivery; approved items can be visible to others through Steam inventory and eligible Community Market listings.

Chat input and output are screened automatically. Recognised crisis messages receive a fixed, authored response pointing toward real-world help. Creature image prompts follow game-authored rules rather than free-form image requests. Generated items face additional server-side checks before Steam export. These checks reduce risk but cannot guarantee perfect output; AI replies can be inaccurate or inappropriate. Kipple is a fictional companion and does not provide professional advice.

AI-generated artwork is also used in store and promotional materials, including electric-sheep key art, trailer thumbnails and the illustrated desktop wallpapers seen in trailers and screenshots. The scenery is desktop wallpaper: your companion lives over your own desktop.
