ROBOTICS;NOTES — AI Edition is the warmest entry in the Science Adventure line, and the mod leans into it. Tanegashima sun, a two-member robotics club, and a giant robot that will probably never walk.
A local language model plays Aki, Kai, Frau and the rest through the long project of actually building something — while the Kimijima Reports keep surfacing where they shouldn't.
🤖 The AI tracks GunPro-1's build state across sessions. Aki's enthusiasm scales with how much of the robot actually exists.
- 🔧 Project continuity — Build progress persists; the cast talks about what you've actually done.
- ☀️ Tanegashima setting — Island life, festival season and rocket launches all inform the prompts.
- 📄 Kimijima Report hooks — Discovered reports can be fed in as context for darker conversations.
- 👥 Club personas — Aki, Kai, Frau, Junna and Subaru written individually, not as a chorus.
- 🔒 No cloud dependency — The whole thing runs on your machine, offline, free.
- 🎭 Expression matching — Sprite selection follows detected tone, including Frau's chaotic register.
| Character | Role | How the AI plays them |
|---|---|---|
| Akiho Senomiya | Club president | Relentless optimism with a real fear of running out of time |
| Kaito Yashio | Sole member | Detached, phone-first, more invested than he'll admit |
| Frau Koujiro | Genius programmer | Net-speak, shut-in humour, and startling technical depth |
| Junna Daitoku | Kendo club | Earnest, anxious, and slowly learning not to freeze |
Every persona is a plain-text file. Open it, rewrite it, and the character changes.
Ollama is a free, open-source runtime that executes language models directly on your own hardware.
-
Download it from https://ollama.com/download for your operating system
-
Run the installer and let it finish
-
Open a terminal and pull a model:
ollama pull llama3(~4.7 GB. Any model from https://ollama.com/library will work — larger models give better in-character writing, smaller ones respond faster.)
- Start from a clean, working installation of ROBOTICS;NOTES
- Extract the downloaded archive
- Copy its contents into the game's main folder
- Launch the game — the AI layer initialises on first run
- Set the build state in the config at the start of a session so Aki's mood makes sense.
- Frau's persona benefits from a model that handles slang well — small models flatten her.
- Feed Kimijima Reports in gradually; dumping all of them at once collapses the mystery.
| Tier | Model | RAM | VRAM | Feel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum | 7B quantised | 8 GB | 4 GB | Works; expect pauses |
| Recommended | 8B–13B | 16 GB | 8 GB | Smooth, in-character |
| Best | 27B+ | 32 GB | 16 GB+ | Noticeably sharper writing |
CPU-only inference is supported and slower. No GPU is strictly required.
Q: Elite or DaSH?
The personas target ROBOTICS;NOTES ELITE. DaSH content is referenced only if you enable the flag.
Q: Does it need the other Science Adventure games?
No. Cross-series references exist but are optional.
Q: Can I roleplay as Kai?
Yes — protagonist mode swaps him out and lets the club talk to you directly.
Q: Are my conversations private?
Completely. The model runs on your machine and logs are written to a local folder. Disconnect from the internet and the mod keeps working.
Q: Does this use ChatGPT or any paid API?
No. There are no API keys, no accounts, and no subscriptions. Ollama is free and open source.
Q: Can I use an uncensored model?
Yes — pull any model from https://ollama.com/library. Uncensored variants sometimes follow the roleplay format less reliably, which is a trade-off you control.
Q: Will this touch my save files?
No. The mod never reads or writes the game's save data.
Q: The AI returned an error instead of a reply. Why?
The model produced output the mod couldn't parse. Switch models, lower the temperature, or shorten the system prompt.
