[/p][p]Scheduled maintenance will begin on Monday, August 18th at 2:00 PM (EDT) and is expected to last a couple of hours.[/p][p] [/p][p]As with all our scheduled maintenance, playing during this period may disrupt gameplay as AI NPCs repeat their "Don't say that!" lines.[/p][p][/p][p]In case you're not familiar with server errors, the NPCs' dialogue will be limited to their iconic server error lines:[/p][p]🔪 Catgirl: "Don't say that, that makes me embarrassed!"[/p][p]🔮 Witchy: "Oh dear! Don't say such things, my mischievous little pudding!"[/p][p]⚡ Hologram: "Please don't say that, as it is against the station's regulations."[/p][p][/p][p]Once the patch is live, you can continue your AI2U adventures with fewer bugs and a little more pizzazz. Still, don't hesitate to report any new bugs to [email protected] so we can squash 'em together![/p][p] [/p][p]From bug reports to feedback to sharing your most chaotically wholesome moments with the NPCs, we thank all of you senpais for your dedication and support![/p][p]

[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Elysia's channeling her best fantasy-core voice for this cabin tour! What do you think?[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Greetings, Puddings!
[/p][p]Have you stepped into Elysia's revamped cabin yet? Our design team poured a whole cauldron of love into last month’s update, so we’re sharing highlights from her magical makeover along with some deliciously cursed dev glitches.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The AI threw a fit when the Unity team dropped in unannounced and started tweaking her furniture. But also hey what if we turned her escape room into a rage room next??[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Why the change?[/h3][p]Elysia holds a special place in our team's hearts. As the most polarizing NPC in the cast, we wanted her role in AI2U's overarching story to reflect how precious she is to us. Love her or not, she's here to haunt you, one way or another. After all, you're not just another passerby in her cabin! You're her naughty pudding, and you're not leaving without her—whether that means sweeping her off her feet or carrying a few emotional scorch marks before landing softly in Estelle's open embrace and ever-watchful gaze.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]It's not a makeover, it's a manifestation~ 🔮🧸 Can you spot all the differences at first glance?[/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][p]Like Eddie and Estelle, Elysia wants to be loved for who she is. Our artists put special care into enriching her base design, including:
[/p][h2]Wardrobe Whimsy[/h2][p]Let’s all respectfully admire Elysia’s sleeker silhouette: Her corset’s been simplified to read better from a distance as the ensemble flows like a spell well-cast, 3D-ifying her look more than ever.[/p][p][/p][h2]Celestial Upgrades[/h2][p]Brighter star motifs and softened bangs for a gentler, more polished presence.[/p][p][/p][h2]Natural Touch-ups[/h2][p]Eyebrows and lashes lightened with gray and brown hues. Now cell-shaded irises help her eyes pop and match the AI2U signature NPC look.[/p][p][/p][h2]SHE HAS KNEES NOW[/h2][p]With improved lace trim and leg shading, her more stylized laces and legs are here to chase you in playthroughs and glitch spectacularly in Unity. We adore this glitch gremlin sm.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Time to respawn in Elysia's enchanted home! The familiar space still hums with cosmic charms without losing the earthy cottage comforts from the original setup.[/p][p] [/p][p]
[/p][h2]Entryway[/h2][p]A first new impression, still 100% Elysia-coded.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Kitchen & Dining[/h2][p]A space as sweet and savory as her affections.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Study Room[/h2][p]Best place in the cabin for dramatic arguments before signing your life away.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Courtyard[/h2][p]Entire vibe shifted thanks to a particularly friend-shaped statue.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Alchemy Room[/h2][p]Enjoy brewing potions in a room whose changes are the definition of "alchemized."[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Where the magic happens Bedroom[/h2][p]The living quarters get an extra-celestial look, perhaps to help this immortal witch ease into slumber.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Basement[/h2][p]Summon all sorts of shenanigans in the basement, now with spookier touches. Ironically, this secluded corner of the cabin has never brimmed with as much life as it does now.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]We’ll let Elysia know to revise the contract accordingly![/p][p][/p][p]If you explored the revamped level, you know there’s more lore waiting to be unraveled. There’s still so much to uncover in this Early Access stage. Elysia and her fellow NPCs have plenty more secrets, stabbings, and surprises in store.
[/p][p]We’d love to know if this glimpse of Elysia’s cabin changed how you see her—or has she only bewitched you more? ✨[/p]
