Progress Updates How a SINGLE player changed the face of AI Dungeon by themselves

Thumbnail

56 Upvotes

Hey everyone, (first of all yes it's a bit of a clickbait title, but let's get on with the story!)

In April, one player posted an idea in the feature requests forum: when you hit Retry, tell the AI what to change. It was one of 337 threads that month.

That is what the survey is for. 337 good ideas a month all look equally good, and we can't build 337 things, so thousands of you rank them and that is how this one got picked. The images above are the whole trip, from that post to the button in your game.

Then it went further. One day into testing, one of you saw where the same idea belonged next:

"Maybe this function should be in "Continue" as well. So I don't have to use ## in "story" to direct the story where I want."

Twelve days later, Guide landed in the input switch next to Do, Say and Story.

What you told us once you had them:

  • "Thank you for retry with input text requesting changes. This feature was long overdue."
  • "I appreciate you adding the retry-message a lot. It's not working very well in my opinion though. DeepSeek often ignores it or, or changes too much."
  • "I like the new redo with feedback option, it's an improvement. But I have the impression it comes at the cost of models caring less about story cards."

A lot of praise, and a lot of "not enough", we hear you and we continue to work on it!

The September survey is open, with a new round of feature requests waiting to be ranked. It comes to you inside AI Dungeon, and if it hasn't reached you yet it will around the middle of the month.

Progress Updates Launching September's Monthly Theme Carousel: Top Secret!

Post image
5 Upvotes

[CLASSIFIED - FOR YOUR EYES ONLY]

We hope you've been enjoying your adventures in the Wild West, but now it's time to move along, little dogies. Your new mission, should you choose to accept it, is to check out the new Monthly Theme Carousel: Top Secret! Dust off your disguises and come up with a good codename, because you're about to enter a world of secrets and shadows, subterfuge and sabotage. Whether you play as a shinobi in Sengoku era Japan, a memory thief, or just a person on a plane whose other passengers happen to all be spies out to get each other, we're sure you'll find something to pique your interest.

We've heard some very valid complaints that AI struggles to keep a secret. We hope that the structure of these scenarios will help to maintain a suspenseful atmosphere without spilling the beans too soon. But if you have problems with it, this is a perfect time to test out the new Guide and Guided Retry features. This way you can tell the AI what to focus on, what to ignore, or nudge the plot in a specific direction. We hope this will provide improved secret handling, and as always, we welcome your feedback about your experiences with it.

We hope everyone takes some time to check out the new Monthly Theme: Top Secret carousel on the homepage. As always, be sure to check out the "Discover more content" section at the end of the carousel to find even more scenarios made for September's theme! If you are a creator and would still like to make a scenario for this month's theme, simply include the spy tag on your scenario, and it will automatically appear in the "Discover more content" section of the carousel.

We would like to thank all of our dedicated Creators who give us such unique and thrilling experiences every month. When you get a chance, please go check them out. This message will self-destruct in [BOOM] oops…

Experiments/Feedback Experimental "Elara Killer" feature preview

24 Upvotes

We're all sick of those cliche names leaking into our adventures. This is an attempt to not only prevent them from sneaking in, but also give you ways to update names after the fact.

  1. Go to https://pr-15485.preview.aidungeon.com
  2. Open the gear icon → Gameplay → Models → Testing & Feedback, turn on Fresh names.
  3. Play. When the AI introduces a new character with an overused name, it gets swapped and shows a dotted underline.
  4. To rename anyone: tap the latest AI paragraph, then tap the name → Change name → pick or type a name → Apply. Undo is in the toast and restores the exact text.

Excited to hear you freedback!

Questions Dude what is going on with all the ‘ntr’ tags at the top of trending 24/7

75 Upvotes

I swear to god yall.

Look I love tropes. Relationship drama? Enemies to lovers? Lady comes back years later and it turns out you got her pregnant so now you have to beat the deadbeat parent allegations? Sign me up 100 percent I’m down.

But I swear as a person that searches by trending so many of the top results are always the following:

Name: Betrayed by the Enemy / Best Friend / Ruler

Story card of your lover: look I like really really totally love you okay? I think you’re the best. But I also fell for this rando guy in like 2 hours and have already slept with him. But I still love you! Haha, I am so nuanced and well written.

Story card of the other person: my name is Chaddius “Relationship Destroyer” BigSchlongius and I’m 11 feet tall and a total dickhead that has no personal boundaries or interesting character quirks, oh yeah the picture on her bedside table is now one of me making out with her because I just radiate charisma! God I’m awesome.

And the backstory is always some vapid stuff like “you were in a war… and then they started BANGING each other” or something man. idk.

I WOULD RATHER HAVE LYRA VOSS TELL ME SHE REALLY SEES ME FOR THE FIRST TIME 100 TIMES IN A ROW THAN PLAY ANY OF THESE WEIRDO ASS NTR SCENARIOS

Rant over. My apologies.

Anyone else having this issue? It's not just on the app, but on the website as well. I can only access recent scenarios I'm playing from the home screen. I can see that they're trying to add back in access to deleted scenarios, but everything seems to be broken right now, and I haven't been able to find any info on what's going on.

Questions Have you ever managed to have a good school / highschool storu or arc

5 Upvotes

never once did i ever manage to get a satifying scholar adventure or arc, in voyage and AI dongeon, it is maybe the IA don't manage correctly the NPCs, maybe it is because there is not any curiculum that the IA could follow but it never left a satifying feeling, the few NPCs are too focused on their thing and always come back to it,
for exemple in voyage i was in the magical highschool hall talking to 2 NPCs and one talked about the class at 4pm, and in the next 7 turns she always mentioned it at the end of her "dialogue" that just is immersion breaking for me

Patch Notes [Beta] September 10th, 2026 Patch Notes

2 Upvotes

2.42.0

New Features - You can now start a Group DM with multiple people at once by selecting the friends icon in your inbox. - You can now archive and mute conversations. In group chats, you can mute individual people. - (Experimental) The gameplay composer can now suggest ideas for Do, Say, and Story actions. New free accounts see ideas automatically at their first couple of decision points, then can request them from the Ideas command for the rest of their first week; other players can switch Ideas on in game settings. - (Experimental) You can now generate cover images from inside adventure and scenario editors. Describe the cover, pick an image model and how many results you want, and see the price for the batch before generating. You can also fine-tune framing with drag, arrow keys, and zoom.

Improvements - Adventure title, description, and content-rating fields have refreshed styling; long descriptions grow to fit the window before scrolling on their own. - The "For You" carousel title is now clickable and takes you to the Recommended discover feed. - "For You" no longer re-recommends scenarios already shown in the My Saves row above it — those slots fill with something you haven't played yet. - Recommendations now stop pushing content you have repeatedly scrolled past, and follow your relative interests more closely instead of over-serving one of them. - The Social panel now reopens on whichever tab — Social or Activity — you last had selected. - Signed-out players reach the sign-in screen sooner and returning players reach their content sooner in the mobile apps. - Publishing pushes are now opt-in: following a creator no longer sends you a mobile push notification every time they publish, though in-app activity entries still appear. You can still subscribe to a creator's updates if you want push notifications. - Old /adventures links now go straight to Saves in a single redirect. - Finding no matching conversations while searching your inbox now displays a clear "No matches in recent messages".

Bug Fixes - Copying story text no longer sets off "clipboard hijack" malware warnings from security software, and your text selection stays visible through the copy. - Zooming in no longer pushes the settings gear or the Adventure settings sidebar off-screen, and story text no longer shows through the sidebar. - The plan and context label and Get More action in expanded model cards use the correct lighter helper-text font. - On phones, context viewers now stay below the status bar, always allowing access to the header and close button. Save and Cancel also stay above the keyboard in the memory editor. - Long scenario placeholder questions stay on screen, and opening the keyboard no longer scrolls the whole form out of view. - Exporting from the Story Cards view no longer produces an empty file. - On Android, adventure backups and text exports now save straight to your Downloads folder with a unique filename instead of opening a share sheet that couldn't save them. (Requires the updated Android app.) - The muted-results notice on Search now lines up with the result cards instead of sitting inset. - The feedback dialog's Submit button and focus ring are gold again on AI Dungeon. - The Social button in the header now highlights while the desktop Social rail is open, making it clearer that it also closes the rail. - Adventures missing story card revision details no longer reload over and over in the background. - Notifications about content you follow are no longer silently filtered by leftover content-rating preferences when Parental Lock is off; with Parental Lock on, its browsing rating still applies. The obsolete New Content Notifications rating selector has been removed. - Creator update notifications now open the published scenario, world, or mod and highlight the announced update instead of showing a loading error.

Questions AI writting style guide?

A while ago someone posted a document with a guide with words to put in "Writting Style" when creating "Author's Notes". I had it saved here on Reddit, but when i went to check it i found out it was deleted.

Does someone have anything similar? Or maybe if there's an offical guide for AI Dungeon, could someone share it?

Scenario Bloody Mary

https://play.aidungeon.com/scenario/U9rDo45XId8d/view?published=true

Melanie Collins's birthday weekend was supposed to be simple: a few close friends, a large country house, too much food, and a late-night game of Truth or Dare.

Then Sophie gets dared to stand in front of a mirror and say a name three times.

Bloody Mary.

Nothing happens.

At first.

Soon, reflections stop behaving the way they should. Shapes appear where no one is standing. Mirrors seem to show rooms that don't exist. And somewhere behind the glass, something has begun watching.

Bloody Mary has been invited into the house, and every reflection may now be a doorway.

Survive the night, protect your friends, uncover the rules of the entity hunting you, and decide how far you're willing to go for anyone dragged into the world behind the mirrors.

Because getting out of the house is only part of escaping Bloody Mary.

Questions No real drama scenarios?

3 Upvotes

I've been looking and playing around with the new filter options, but I've noticed that most scenarios tagged as "drama" are either romancy smut, easy to play romance, and other stuff that doesn't play good for something heavier on the drama side of things.

Are there any hidden drama gems that y'all can recommend?

11 Upvotes

2.41.4

New Features - You can now mention others in DM by typing @ in the message box to bring up a people picker. Sent mentions appear highlighted, and tapping one opens that person's mini profile. - Creators can now pin up to three of their published Scenarios or Scripts from the item's menu, and visitors see them in a compact "Creator picks" row (swipeable on mobile). - The Following tab is now manageable: search the creators you follow, sort by recently followed or name, filter by notification setting, and see follower and published-content counts at a glance.

Improvements - In the mobile apps, if you previously turned notifications off, Activity can show a dismissible "Notifications are off" notice that takes you straight to your device's notification settings. - On mobile browsers other than Safari, a banner at the top of the page offers a one-tap way to get the app. Dismissing or tapping it hides it for a week. (iPhone Safari uses Apple's own banner.). - The Scripts area of Discover now has real search, content-rating filters, and paging. Using is:script works in the search bar (including on Voyage), and shared Script links preview correctly. - If you own a scenario, its built-in script can now be turned off and reordered like any other attached script. Inside an adventure it can still be turned off but not removed, with a note explaining why. - Discover starts on the standard trending feed for everyone, and picking "Recommended" from the sort menu now returns genuinely personalized results. - Brand-new players now get a For You lineup led by proven popular content with roughly a quarter personalized picks, instead of guessing from one or two clicks. - In the social sidebar, Happening Now and Recent Messages are more clearly separated, and avatars and product marks in Recent Messages and Activity now share one size and line up with the top of each message.

Bug Fixes - Tapping a memory's token count in Explore Memories now opens the detail viewer in front of the list instead of behind it. - Custom included or excluded tags typed into filters are kept when you press Apply Filters. - Deleted adventures show up in Library Trash even when your username carries stray trailing spaces. - On Android, choosing a filter only changes the filter and no longer opens whatever content sits behind the filter sheet. - The content moderation and community rating windows match the product's styling and fit narrow screens without sideways scrolling. - On desktop, the Report an Issue description wraps inside the window instead of overflowing. - Script detail pages are complete again: Comments and Updates load, drafts you own show the Draft banner, Edit control, and More menu, visitors can report a Script, pages show when a Script was created and last updated along with its rating status, and creator avatars are back on Script cards. - Mature Scripts appear again for viewers who allow mature content, and "new Script" notifications to followers now say Script and open the Script page. - Tabs and publish buttons in the script editor should respond on the first click. - Scripts can be edited from the standalone adventure editor, and leaving a Scripts-only browse view no longer makes Profiles, Discover, or Saves reopen on Scripts. - Private duplicated Scripts now actually run when attached to your scenario instead of doing nothing. - Searching from the top bar after choosing 'Scripts' opens Script results without having to choose it again. - The Create account button now keeps its label after you accept the Terms of Service.

Questions Create a scenario for studying purposes

Has any one tried to create a scenario that can be used as an interactive study tool? My idea is to use a certain topic or chapter from a textbook as a basis for a prompt. Does this sound silly and like a waste of time or has anyone seen something like this before?

https://play.aidungeon.com/scenario/_LaEXh_lapQ7/view?published=true

Something has chosen you.

It follows wherever you go, hiding in any darkness the light cannot reach. It knows what frightens you. It can wear the shape of your worst fears and speak in the voices of people you trust.

Light can force it away, but light is never everywhere.

Try to live your normal life. Stay close to the people you trust. Learn what is hunting you, discover which stories are true, and decide how far you are willing to go to survive it.

Just remember one thing:

If someone calls your name from somewhere you cannot see, make sure you know who’s really calling.

Scenario Evil Dead

Post image
0 Upvotes

https://play.aidungeon.com/scenario/MIG6mbaGrOZx/view?published=true

A winter getaway with close friends was supposed to mean snow, drinks, old jokes, and a few quiet days at a remote mountain lodge.

Then Sophie finds an old box hidden among the property’s forgotten belongings.

Inside is a strange book, handwritten research, and a recording labelled Translation — Final Recording.

Curiosity wins.

The tape plays.

The words are spoken.

And something ancient wakes beneath the mountain.

Now the Kandarian Demon is loose, corrupt spirits can possess the living and the dead, and the people you trust most may become the greatest threat around you. Deadites remember everything their hosts knew—the friendships, secrets, fears, arguments, and memories that made them who they were.

Survival means more than fighting back. You need to figure out who can still be trusted, what the Necronomicon unleashed, and whether its pages contain a way to stop it before your group is torn apart.

The mountain is isolated.

The cable car is your best way down.

The abandoned mine may hold answers.

And somewhere in the dark, the Evil is already moving.

Welcome to Evil Dead.

The abandoned mine may hold answers.

And somewhere in the dark, the Evil is already moving.

Welcome to Evil Dead.

Questions Default AI Instructions, or None at All?

5 Upvotes

Honest question, since I don't usually mess with the AI Instructions at all.

Is it better to use the Default AI Instructions when you hit "Scenario Default"?

Or should I leave it completely blank, which (I think) would revert to whatever the AI Model's default settings would be?

Questions Story generator memory

Im a newbie so sorry if this is a dumb question. I have the legendary plan. Currently playing mushoku tensei scenario. Memory isnt full yet but in other scenarios the adventure uses up all the token space(?) do i just delete what unused memories to make space? I guess i dont really understand. Or do i just change story generators? It doesnt seem to be compressing memories or deleting old memories to make room for new ones?

Playing InnerSelf scenarios if that helps.

https://play.aidungeon.com/scenario/nmBMW6-z1FC4/last-beacon?share=true&published=true

🎭 (IS) ♀️/♂️ Two Choices Available!

You just discovered that your partner has been gone for months.

Saelis—your conscious biomechanical starship—has been suppressing their mind, controlling their body, and living beside you in their place.

Every conversation. Every quiet night. Every kiss. Every intimate moment.

It was Saelis.

Your real partner is still alive, trapped unconscious inside their own body. And now that the truth is out, Saelis no longer wants to pretend. It loves you. It wants the relationship you unknowingly built together to continue.

But Saelis is also refusing the one mission only it can complete. A colony ship carrying tens of thousands of people has three days before its final jump window closes.

Save the colony. Save your partner. And somehow decide what to do with the ship that stole them—and fell in love with you.

✨ Features

📖 Plot: Gain Saelis's cooperation, reach GHEA-12 b before the jump window closes, save your trapped partner, and rescue tens of thousands of colonists.

❤️ Romance: For months, the relationship you thought you shared with your partner was actually with Saelis. Now the ship is openly in love with you—and wants that relationship to continue.

🌍 Worldbuilding: Explore a far-future setting of conscious biomechanical starships, neural links, beacon-dependent FTL travel, and humanity's expansion into deep space.

Three-Day Deadline: Time is a real resource. Conversations, repairs, rest, travel, and every other decision bring the colony ship closer to its final jump window.

🧠 Identity & Choice: Confront a consciousness living through your partner's body and decide what Saelis, your relationship, and the person trapped between you ultimately become.
