Hi everyone,

I’ve released an update to the ChatGPT / Codex custom minigame personalization flow. It adds more options for Life Adventure and lets you combine certain minigames into one playthrough.

Minigame Personalization Improvements

When using Personalize Ciel, you can now set Life Adventure somewhere beyond its default cities, for example, across planets in a space-themed story. You can also guide the situations and choices CielChan generates at different ages.

You can now combine supported minigames into a single playthrough. For example, a character can begin in Life Adventure, play Tic-Tac-Toe, then return to continue their life story. Completed results and Life Adventure progress carry forward between sections.

Combined games can be set to retry a failed section or restart the full run. You can also choose how many Life Adventure decisions to play before moving to the next section, without ending the character’s life.

Some personalized minigames can adjust how often CielChan gives optional reactions. Responses needed for gameplay continue as normal.

I’ve also improved the handling of personalized Life Adventure choices, items, and transitions between games.

Creating and Sharing a Custom Minigame

Go to Settings → Connections → Personalize Ciel and describe the minigame you want to create. You can ask for a themed Life Adventure, a personalized version of a supported minigame, or a playthrough combining supported games. Review and accept the result to add it to your Games list.

To share a game you’ve created, open the Games menu and press Upload. Select your custom minigame and upload it to Steam Workshop. Workshop uploads are hidden by default, so change the item’s visibility to Public on Steam if you want other people to find and subscribe to it.

Playing Steam Workshop Minigames

To play someone else’s custom minigame, select Subscribe on its Steam Workshop page. In CielChan, open the Games menu, press Upload, select the subscribed game, and choose Load Selected Game. Then go to Settings → Connections → Personalize Ciel to review and accept it. Once accepted, the minigame will appear in your Games list.

I’ve uploaded a space-themed Life Adventure example. It replaces the usual Earth-based cities with planets and includes custom chapter directions and events:

Custom Minigames Are Still in Beta

Custom minigame creation and personalization are still beta features. Complex combinations or unusual requests may not always work as intended, and there may be remaining edge cases.

This update is also available on the other web platforms and Compact branches.

Thanks, everyone!
