v0.7.3.5 Update:
To better support mid-range and newer devices, certain features like Multiplayer mode and Retro assets are no longer loaded by default. This saves up to 1.12 GB of RAM on startup.

• The game now requires ~3 GB of free RAM to run smoothly.
• Due to system and background app usage, a device with at least 6 GB of total RAM is now required.
• Devices with less than 6 GB RAM may freeze or crash.

Optional Features:

• Retro assets use ~0.8 GB RAM.
• Multiplayer mode uses ~1.12 GB RAM.
  → Multiplayer is recommended only on devices with 8 GB RAM or more.

If you're low on RAM, close other apps before launching the game to reduce the risk of crashes.

v0.7.3.6 Update: New AI-Powered NPC System

Whiskers is now powered by AI, with a sharp personality and a dynamic, sarcastic attitude.
He can access an internal knowledge base to answer gameplay questions like settings, keys, and puzzles.
Conversations feel real—he improvises if he doesn’t know, and always stays in character.

Notice: by default, the A.I. powered conversations with NPC expects an ollama server on the local network and uses llama3.1:8b-instruct-q4_0 as default model.

To use a server with a different IP address or model, configure it using the following commands:

• set server to followed by the Ollama server's IP address.
• set model to followed by the name of the installed model.

Note: These settings are not saved permanently. You’ll need to re-enter the commands each time you start the game or revert to the default configuration.

If you plan to run Ollama locally, keep in mind that both the game and the Ollama model will require additional memory. You’ll likely need at least 16 GB of RAM for smooth performance.
