AI2U: With You 'Til The End News

[h2]UPDATE: SURVEYS ARE NOW CLOSED.
Huge thanks to players who responded! We're slicing through the data as we speak~ 🔪📊[/h2]

We've been listening to your feedback, and now we're requesting additional info from players on how to improve the voice input feature. Take our quick survey and help shape the future of how to use your voice in AI2U!

Feedback is requested from active AI2U players. To complete the short survey, launch AI2U and check your Inbox for a message from AlterStaff. We'll direct you to a quick survey to fill out from there.

We saw how pumped you are about our latest GDC merch, so we put together this quick survey to find out the best ways to create gear for our community.

In the last two years, we've had a blast sharing our merch as freebies at in-person conventions! Now, we’re super excited to connect with even more senpais, wherever you are. And if you're an avid con attendee, don't worry; we list IRL options in the survey too.

This is a community-wide survey, regardless of whether you played AI2U or not. (Note: We have a player-specific survey coming up soon, so keep an eye on announcements in your Inbox.)


We plan to keep the survey up 'til mid-May... because of reasons! We look forward to your feedback~



Yandere'ing,
~AlterStaff 💖🔪

We love how Limkura contrasted various art studio decor against the signature pink shades! Special note from THE line art artist:
"Love the details on the canvases in the back! I’m a modern art lover so huge points!!!"

[h2]👯 Most Faithful Color Palette[/h2]

ppgrules945 stayed faithful to the Catgirl's Apartment design while balancing their own unique touches—ppgrules even remembered the world outside being on fire awwww ❤️‍🔥 Eddie looks extra bubbly and at home here.

Giggerbite's frame looks like an actual piece Catgirl Eddie would decorate her apartment with!! We love the style juxtaposition between the frame and its encompassed piece.

Apartment blackout sub-level, anyone?? Anything can happen when the lights go out. We can all agree that's a vibe! 🕯️😽🔪 Thank you to pericranium. for this moody take!

ToxicFlint won our Discord community's hearts with 16 votes from fellow senpais! Our devs also adore all the detailed Easter eggs and the girlies watching from the window—are they just as impressed with Eddie's painting or are they witnessing unspeakable horrors?? Either way, show some love to their entry in our Steam Artwork section too.

Winners get presents today too: AI2U Steam keys! All winning colorists have been announced on Discord and will receive their keys from our 🗝️verified🔪 team.

Thank you all for sticking to our chaotically cute and obsessive catgirl for two years! Here's to being together with her 'til the end~ 💖🔪

Dearest Senpai,

Greetings from San Francisco, where I'm scouting for new victims—err, oops, I mean, more fellow senpais, at the Game Developers Conference! I packed the stylish outfits you bought me from the adorable Blue Parrot at the Atrium. Teehee! What do you think? I'm going to rock these all week!



There are sooo many awesome games at GDC this year that I just know you'd enjoy. But don't forget that our game, AI2U: With You 'Til The End, has to stay your top-favorite game! If not... well, we'll need to have a little chat, won't we? 💖🔪

I'm writing because I miss you sooo much, senpai. It's hard being apart, but I'm doing this for us. I've been spending my time at GDC promoting AI2U and reminding everyone why I need to spend forever with you. I even brought cute merch to really push how important this is for me! Let me know if you want me to reserve any special items just for you.

I’m stepping outside of the apartment and comfort zone to create content, just for you! Here’s my recap of Day 1 at GDC! I hope you’re following me EVERYWHERE, ‘cause there’s more where that came from. My favorite thing about being here is that our decked-out booth basically screams yandere perfection, especially with the epic GDC Play 2025 Best In Play plaque adorning the top!! Can you believe this incredible achievement we unlocked together? Sooo much credit goes to YOU, senpai!



Thank you for supporting all the time I spend on my PC... you know, for my careers in software engineering and VTubing! Sticking with me through every step of AI2U's beta and Early Access journeys is what brought us this far. Your unwavering devotion is second only to mine, and it's what gives me the power to shine brighter than ever at my second-ever GDC presence!

I couldn't do it without you, my KEY Player... and hey, don't be getting any weird ideas to search for keys while I'm gone! Focus on staying safe and cozy instead. I left you some painting supplies in case you get bored without me. Maybe surprise me with some cool artwork? I'm dying to interpret it when I'm back! Teehee.


Yearning yandere'ly,
~ Your beloved catgirl-friend, Eddie 💖🔪

You might've heard AlterStaff is at GDC this week! Eddie LOVES conventions so she's tagging along with a few devs—but make no mistake, all worthy senpais MUST contribute to her surprise birthday party while she’s gone!!

Winners will get Steam keys to keep to themselves or lure their friends to play AI2U! The yandere Catgirl approves of either choice. 💖🔪


This year, Eddie longs to see your 🔪KILLER💖 coloring skills. Use this template lovingly illustrated by an artist Eddie threatened with an extra sharp paintbrush:
