CakeMix: VR Character Creator

Why did I remove VR? I took the public thoughts into consideration (basically that VAM already does VR amazingly well, which hell yeah it does) and changed direction.

For about six months now I’ve been turning CakeMix into an uncensored AI companion type thing. You can create new characters with the Character Creator with their own unique personalities, etc., then set up a scenario, and they’ll tell you a story based on it. Stories can go from super chill slow burn to extremely explicit.

It uses a locally hosted LLM so there’s no constant Internet connection needed, and no data collection. The game will download the LLM for you, but you can also choose your own to use.

System Requirements

Minimum:

• OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core i5-6600K / AMD Ryzen 5 1600
• Memory: 16 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 / AMD Radeon RX Vega 56* (8 GB VRAM minimum)
• Storage: 10 GB available space (varies depending on AI settings)
• Additional Notes: Integrated GPUs are not supported.

Recommended:

• OS: Windows 10 (64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core i7-9700K / AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
• Memory: 32 GB RAM
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER / AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT* (8 GB+ VRAM)
• Storage: SSD with 20 GB free space
• Additional Notes: Performance scales with available system RAM and GPU VRAM when running larger language models.

* Special Note for AMD GPU Users on Windows

If the game’s AI runs only on CPU (extremely slow), it means the runtime is failing to use your graphics card. By default it tries CUDA (NVIDIA only), then AMD HIP (not supported on Windows), and finally falls back to CPU.

To fix this:

1. Open the CakeMix install folder.
2. Find the folder named windows-hip.
3. Rename it (e.g. windows-hip.bak) or delete it.
4. Restart CakeMix. It will now use Vulkan on your AMD card, which is much faster.
