Fully voiced cat is my favourite part of this already amazing list

What about consoles?
Purple Brick Games2 years ago
Console versions (PS4/4, Xbox, and Switch) are in the works and will be released sometime after the PC release ( there is a lengthy approval process )

You had me at "Fully voiced cat". Very wise of you to include that as a selling point.

Voiced cat, you say?

![๐ฌWhimsical Reverie | Preview: White Night's Ballet >> Main Attribute: Cool ๐ฉฐOutfit Details [White Night's Ballet] can be evolved into the following outfits: [White Night's Ballet: Awakening] (Stage 1), [White Night's Ballet: Undercurrent] (Stage 2), and [White Night's Ballet: Flamewake] (Stage 3). Fully glow it up to obtain the [White Night's Ballet: First Glow] outfit. ๐ฉฐOutfit Ability [Spinning Reflections]: After using the ability, Nikki bursts through the shattered mirror and begins an elegant dance amid blooming shards of light, with her movement speed greatly increased. If approaching a wall, Nikki can slide over the wall's surface and continue moving seamlessly. Sliding continuously consumes energy. When energy is depleted, Nikki will exit the sliding state. Wall sliding consumes more energy. While sliding across a wall, Nikki can jump over obstacles. She can also enter the floating state to disengage from the wall. When using the ability during [Companion Journey], Nikki and her companion will have a special movement effect. After equipping the [Spinning Reflections] ability, Nikki can also summon the Lucent Mirror and Mirror Shadow and activate the Brightnight Mirror Realm. The Brightnight Mirror Realm can be placed on water, allowing Nikki to slide within it. Within the Brightnight Mirror Realm, select [Airy Dance] from the sidebar to switch movement posture. Approach and remain near a Mirror Shadow to light it up. Interact with the lit Mirror Shadow to change its outfit, check its styling, try on its outfit, or invite friends to try it on. Note: The ability [Spinning Reflections] cannot be used in uncleared dungeons. The Brightnight Mirror Realm cannot be placed in certain stages or in the Mira Crown Merit Arena. ๐ฉฐResonance Rewards Based on your number of Resonance attempts in [Through Songbound Night], you can earn rewards such as [White Night's Ballet: Makeup], [Momo's Cloak: Night Dance], and [Ocean's Radiance Gift Box], which includes the item [Dance of Golden Days] and the dance move [Flourishing Steps]. The item [Dance of Golden Days] can be used to dance gracefully in the open world. The dance move [Flourishing Steps] can be used in Momo's Camera. ๐ฉฐEvolution Rewards Reaching Evolution Stage 1 unlocks the pose [Graceful Leap]. Reaching Evolution Stage 2 unlocks [Eternal Ballet] for Momo's Camera: Framed Moment, the item [Dance of Golden Days: Illusory Dance], and the dance move [Flourishing Steps: Illusory Dance]. The Illusory Dance version features new music, special effects, and spectacular moments. Reaching Evolution Stage 3 unlocks [The Final Dance: Makeup], a new idle animation, the poses [Lightfooted Dance], [Unfolding Elegance], and [Elegant Pirouette], plus enhanced special effects and alternative details for certain pieces. โโ โค Infinity Nikki Version 2.8 Golden Dust launches globally on July 16 (UTC-7)! โค Download Now: โค Join us on Facebook Group: #InfinityNikki #GoldenDust #GoldenCity](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2076159705211412544/amplify_video_thumb/2076114664686342144/img/hB5Y2T1FqIKJt882.jpg)
![AGI? One day, but not yet. The only AI that works well right now is the one behind the screen [12-17]. But passing the Turing Test [9] behind a screen is easy compared to Real AI for real robots in the real world. No current AI-driven robot could be certified as a plumber [13-17]. Hence, the Turing Test isn't a good measure of intelligence (and neither is IQ). And AGI without mastery of the physical world is no AGI. Thatโs why I created the TUM CogBotLab for learning robots in 2004 [5], co-founded a company for AI in the physical world in 2014 [6], and had teams at TUM, IDSIA, and now KAUST work towards baby robots [4,10-11,18]. Such soft robots don't just slavishly imitate humans and they don't work by just downloading the web like LLMs/VLMs. No. Instead, they exploit the principles of Artificial Curiosity to improve their neural World Models (two terms I used back in 1990 [1-4]). These robots work with lots of sensors, but only weak actuators, such that they cannot easily harm themselves [18] when they collect useful data by devising and running their own self-invented experiments. Remarkably, since the 1970s, many have made fun of my old goal to build a self-improving AGI smarter than myself and then retire. Recently, however, many have finally started to take this seriously, and now some of them are suddenly TOO optimistic. These people are often blissfully unaware of the remaining challenges we have to solve to achieve Real AI. My 2024 TED talk [15] summarises some of that. REFERENCES (easy to find on the web): [1] J.

![๐ฌWhimsical Reverie | Forever Bond Outfit Preview >>Five-Star Outfit: Forever Bond >>Main Attribute: Sexy "Forever Bond" can be evolved into the following outfits: [Forever Bond: Among Flora], [Forever Bond: Mortal Affairs], and [Forever Bond: Farewell Prelude]. Fully glow it up to obtain the outfit [Forever Bond: Spirit Trail]. Evolve the five-star outfit [Forever Bond] to [Forever Bond: Farewell Prelude] to unlock [Moonlit Frost: Makeup], enhanced special effects, a new idle animation, and alternate detail options for certain pieces. ๐ฑOutfit Ability [Scroll of Splendor: Purification]: Opens a scroll to capture nearby Esselings, defeating them with carefree strokes. After using the [Scroll of Splendor: Purification] ability, Nikki opens a scroll to capture nearby Esselings, defeating them with carefree strokes. If Nikki is hit while having only 1 point of Health, she will summon a Petal Rain to protect herself. Enchanted by Purification ability, the falling petals knock back nearby Esselings and restore 2 points of Health for her. Activating Dash makes Nikki dash forward. A quick follow-up activation during the dash transforms her into a cat for a second dash. Hold the Dash button and Nikki will pounce forward in cat form, then leap into the air, lifting up all nearby Esselings. While in cat form, all dash actions Nikki makes can apply a Purification effect to the Esselings. While the Scroll of Splendor: Purification ability is activated, if Nikki touches an Ink Image while dashing or unrolling the scroll, colors from the scroll will overflow, flowing into the faded Ink Image and restoring its original form. โโ The Coziest Open-World Game!
