🔊 New Update: Real-Time AI + Voice with Player2!
EchoColony now supports Player2, a free tool that lets your pawns respond with real voice and text. That’s right — you can talk to your pawns, and they’ll talk back, out loud, right inside the game.

🧠 What is Player2?
Player2 is a standalone application that gives you access to a powerful language model capable of holding natural conversations with your pawns — including real-time voice (TTS).

No API keys, no complicated setup:
Just download Player2, create an account, and you’re good to go.

📥 Download the Player2 app to power the AIs for free[player2.game]

The mod will detect Player2 automatically, but you can also enable it manually from the mod settings if needed.

✨ What’s new in this update?
✅ Full integration with Player2 as the AI backend.

🎙️ Pawn replies are now spoken out loud using built-in text-to-speech (TTS).

⚡ You can activate Player2 at any time during your playthrough.

💬 No need to start a new game — Player2 will pick up conversations where they left off.

This brings a whole new level of immersion to your RimWorld roleplay experience.
I’ll keep updating the mod with your feedback and suggestions — thanks for playing and enjoy the voices!

It's much faster than Gemini in terms of output speed. The TTS comes out in a strange language, so it's hard to understand, but it works fine. This seems to be an issue with Player2, so I'll just have to wait for it to improve.

Thanks for the feedback!
Yes — Player2 is indeed much faster in response time, and the TTS system is still evolving.

Just in case you didn’t see it:
You can now assign a specific voice to each pawn from the customization window, right next to where you set their personality prompt. There are several voices to try, so if one doesn’t sound right, another might work better.

Do you happen to know any details about the LLM that the platform provides? I really like the fast output speed, but I haven't been able to find any specific information about the model itself

I asked in the Player2 Discord, and it turns out that some languages are not supported by the TTS.
So if the TTS sounds strange, it's likely because that language isn't supported.
