Ever dreamed of creating NPCs that can truly converse, or game worlds that react dynamically to player questions? This guide shows you how to bring the power of...
Good tutorial. I'm not sure how memory is normally achieved, but sending the entire chat back to the ai each prompt does not sound good. It will use an exponentially larger amount of tokens. Not sure how it will effect the free tier, but it will cost you a fortune if you have to pay.
Hi, thank you for the comment!
You're right, sending the full history increases token usage. This method is necessary because models like Gemini are stateless and need that history for context. For a real application, it's vital to manage this to control costs. Common solutions include using a "sliding window" of recent messages or summarizing the chat.
From a game design perspective, I also believe it's better to guide the AI instead of allowing completely free chat. Using structured output helps maintain creative control over the game's narrative, a topic I hope to explore soon.
