Seems you have to bring your own LLM API key so doesn't sound like my cup of tea, but at least sounds like an indie dev trying to make an interesting use of this technology

Bringing your own LLM seems like the only sensible way to do this, given the potential cost involved.
I was wondering how long it would be until we started seeing this sort of use of LLMs in games, and I definitely thought it would come from indie first rather than big studios. There's too much danger of things getting derailed or inappropriate for studios to risk it, I think.
I'm interested to try, but disappointed you have to use a specific corpo implementation rather than being able to point it at a self-hosted endpoint. Means I'll also be giving this a pass, despite my curiosity.
I'm assuming this is a solo developer (just because they usually are on Itch) and that's just the one they know or happened to pick. Given that a text-generator seems like a pretty useful tool for a text-based adventure then I'd be surprised if there aren't others out there. Maybe if you're lucky someone has already made a more configurable one, or there's an open-source one you could reimplement pointing at your own instance?
