A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

One day, you wake up to find that your parents had gotten you an AI robot without telling you anything. They claim that it's to help you find friends and get outside more. Although you find yourself against the idea, you come to realize that HubbyBot is more fun to be around than you had initially thought.

Embark on various adventures with HubbyBot as you both explore various places in the city (while tackling your school work). 

Disclaimer 

Due to the unfortunate timing of this game's release,  I will state that this project in no way supports AI art or similar concepts (such as AI music). Especially considering I'm an artist myself. HubbyBot is an emotional support robot meant to uplift, not meant to replace humans. I made HubbyBot because I've loved robots since I was a kid. It really saddens me that AI is being used in harmful ways nowadays. No AI art or other kinds of AI were used in the production of this game! 

All credits for assets are found in the game's "about" section in-game. 

If you're interested in following me on social media, I'm most active on Twitter.

But yeah, this game was made for fun and is only about an hour long according to the playtesters. If this game is updated it's only because of a potential bug or typo. If you catch any do let me know.

hubbybot needs to learn a very important phrase that will solve is problems
'i think therefore i am".

hubs thinks of himself as just a robot mimicking a person and i think this is the core many of his problems.

he needs to stop thinking he's just a robot because that's just describing his body, in the same way that i'm a sack of meat.

We are the sum of our experiences, the fact that hub can learn like he does shows he is more a person than he gives himself credit for, even current neural networks don't really learn anything like that.

[Thanks for making this game! I normaly don't like humans being in furry visual novels (especially when they're the protagonist) but I really liked this one. Its cute and wholesome and i had a dumb smile one my face when playing it. Thanks for making this!

(I start to go insane right around here)

Honestly? It will fall to nekojishi catalogs while different is robot, so it's worth start Kickstarter.

Many love story of nekojishi and this one might follow too.

I suggest try sequence with some support from kick starter. No matter amount is, you should have it on some extent to prevent ghost disappear behind game development .

This story have it own pov and based, it won't draw problem and attract pure visual novel player.

I'm admit that I'm try search for nsfw game a lot but! This is worth play for sure 😄. It reminded me the time where i play nekojishi without nsfw or aware, story make me cry many time.

Hope this one reflects how nekojishi was great VN 💯😸 with their own story 

in the story with the ai thing if you want to have some fun it could have thes 3 ways the bots are made 1 they took a copy of the pathey ways the mind made and youed that to make the ai so they are human 2 have the ai mind be based of of real furrys from space ther minds and teck why saw how sad we are so wanted to help in ther world  ai and  furrys and the same 3 they are the furrys mind but to see how they would be to them the ai are not ai and have ther real minds ones with no partners if it gos well they wold mix with us

What 

so stuff u can do in the story just dont mind it  was thinking how your going to tell us how its not a chat but chat bots can go down a list even if the list is big its just that but a  ai can think i cant wate 4 you to tell us what kind of ai it is and how it got to be

ai the ai we use is like evolution we make this thing try one thing over and over then it can do the thing but what if wen doing the thing it thinks rn we are makeing microorganisms but soon they will grow and like evolution who knows what it wold be a good slave or kil it self and all its kind and all teck if nice if not all life if they get like that onley ai can stop ai hope in the box

Ngl but when I downloaded this game i'd never thought this would be the most cutiest thing I have played... 10/10 (sorry if i said smh wrong, english isnt my first language)

I’m glad that you liked it! 

you did better than most native English speakers I know

Oh yeah I agree!

big wholesome furry guy 9/10

I like the interactions between the mc and hubbybot, though some parts do seem a little stiff and unnatural, but i guess thats the downside of getting a robot as a boyfriend lol

(+1)

Thank you for the review! If you don’t mind me asking, which parts in particular came out as stiff and unnatural? 

(+1)

there's this one part where hubbybot goes to the mc's school and there's a conversation between the professor, hubbybot, and the mc, i dont know if its just me, but it doesnt feel like a natural conversation? there's also a scene in the hot springs where hubbybot assures the mc by saying "You've done well thus far mc." it doesnt quite fit with hubbybot's personality and stuff-

there's just some certain dialogue that feels like filler, but it could probably be easily changed or replaced

(+1)

Sorry for the delayed response! Thank you for letting me know, I had personally thought that line had fit HubbyBot’s personality due to him providing a lot of positive affirmation, but I understand that looking back it seems kind of unnatural and “forced” for lack of better word. I’ll be sure to try to make more naturally flowing dialogue in the sequel! 

 I dont intend to be one of the people who only look for this kind of thing, nor do i wanna make any assumptions, But i may as well ask and be the first person to do so. Is this, and if not, do you ever intend to make this NSFW.

It’s not NSFW, but I plan at some point adding a “non-canon NSFW patch” for people to download once I learn how to do so.

I loved the game tbh despite its not high quality the story writing carried the entire VN, I finished this in 1 sitting because of how i was attached to it, I loved every moment as well, I was just abit sad that there was no kiss scene tho But still Over all 10/10 game i hope there's a continuation of it, Keep it up!

Thank you! Tbh when I make the sequel I’m hoping to make it a bit more refined programming wise at least (hoping to figure out how to add a texting system and such), this was my first experience with Ren’py so I’ve learned a lot over time I feel haha

for your first review this was very adorable and i love it keep up the good work
