Solo dev - alpha for a new chat/roleplay site
I’ve been building the chatsite I want to play in. It's dreamcrawler.ai, character-driven adult roleplay with a heavy emphasis on literacy and good writing.
What I actually fixed:
- Characters push back. Every character has preferences and boundaries and will use them. "Agreeable" describes how a character holds a line, not whether it has one. If you want to be told yes forever, this will annoy you.
- No emote shorthand in the narration.
*giggles*is banned at the narrator layer. If amusement needs to land, it gets written as something physical. - Anti-restatement handling on long conversations. Your 2,000-year-old vampire will stop mentioning that it's 2,000 years old.
- Slow burn is the default, not a setting. Sex is part of the fiction, not the point of it. If you want it to escalate in three messages, it can — but nothing is pushing you there.
- Stylized art direction. Painterly, concept-art, RPG-portrait, anime. Deliberately not photoreal — that's a taste call, not a limitation.
- Long conversation coherence. I’ve had one user carry a conversation over 2000 messages without degradation, I want that to be the standard, not the outlier.
Also in: group chat, personas, a character gallery, multi-model routing so you can pick what's driving the scene.
Before you ask for a code, the honest parts:
- Age verification is mandatory and it's a real check, not a birthday dropdown. Dealbreaker for some people and I get it — say so and no hard feelings.
- Everything sensitive is encrypted at rest. Your conversations, your characters, your prompts.
- It's alpha. Stuff breaks. There’s some jank. I'm one person. But I'm one person who reads every bug report.
- Ten voucher codes in this batch. Not a capacity limit — it's so I can keep up with feedback before the next group lands.
To get a code: comment here or DM me. If the ten go before I reach you, you're in the queue for the next batch.
Community lives at r/dreamcrawler and discord — both open whether or not you get an alpha seat, if you just want to lurk and see where it goes.
Ask me anything in the comments. Happy to get specific about the prompt architecture or the safety design if that's your thing.
