Secret of Chronicles is an independent neo-noir detective game built with Unreal Engine 5.8. Players question NPCs freely instead of choosing from fixed dialogue options.
TextGen generates scenario- and gameplay-aware replies with an LLM. SpeechGen creates each reply’s voice and synchronized mouth and facial animation at runtime. ConvCore validates and coordinates the complete exchange.
- Completed: Real-time AI dialogue pipeline; weapon and punch combat; narrative and quest systems; vehicle gameplay; investigation systems for LLM-driven NPC interactions and camera workflows; and UI design.
- In progress: World placement and scenario implementation.
- Steam: App ID setup is complete. The Steam page and wishlist are planned for the vertical slice.
Plugins for AI inference, speech, facial animation, procedural level design, and editor workflows.
Offline Kokoro-82M speech synthesis for Unreal Engine.
Click to expand · Performance, implementation & benchmark details
The plugin runs Kokoro through ONNX Runtime. Its runtime is provisioned for the project and staged with packaged builds, so players do not need to download model files at runtime.
The quality-gated U8/S8 mixed-precision model measured 3.00× real-time warm synthesis on a mid-range CPU, with 1.82 dB median mel-spectral error against FP32.
The timing starts after model loading. It excludes phonemization, queueing, and audio playback.
Streaming LLM inference for Unreal Engine, with verified on-demand CUDA and Vulkan backends.
Click to expand · Runtime and implementation details
TextGen connects Unreal projects to local or remote language-model providers. Its managed llama.cpp runtime handles model selection, streamed responses, accelerator capability checks, and runtime lifecycle.
An editor-side PCG toolkit for deterministic city, road, building, and decoration generation in Unreal Engine 5.8.
Click to expand · Procedural generation details
Supports authored spline paths and road-derived building placement, with chunk-aware regeneration of generated decoration.
Creates isolated Level Instance copies with their project assets and references.
Click to expand · Dependency and copy behavior
Scans map dependencies, duplicates project-local assets, redirects hard and soft references, and supports World Partition external actor packages. Conflict policies can reuse compatible assets or stop before overwriting.
Launches and manages external processes from Unreal Engine, with inter-process communication support.
