'''CuppyPet''' is a Tamagotchi-style virtual pet video game that can be played through [[Guardian]] using <code>/cuppy-pet</code>, developed by [[Saku]]. Launching as part of [[95 LIVE|95 LIVE 2025]], server members can create their very own ''CuppyPet'' that they can take care of and customise.

The main character, [[Cuppy]], is an existing server mascot that was created by [[Mae]]. The pixel version of Cuppy was based on the original design, but lacks arms in-game due to resolution limitations.

== History ==
[[File:CuppyPet Sprite.png|alt=Cuppy's in-game sprite, used when he is feeling neutral.|thumb|125x125px|Cuppy's in-game sprite, used when he is feeling neutral.]]
Ideas about a server pet simulator date back as far as June 2023 prior to Saku taking over development of Guardian, with members discussing in #cafe about a game where the entire server would take care of one single pet. This would've been developed as part of Saku's "Winter Project" bot, that was being used to implement ideas into the server whilst Guardian v2's developer, [[VoidInVoid]], was busy. Ironically, Saku ultimately was also too busy and not much came of this original idea.

That idea lingered around at the back of Saku's mind and official development eventually began in November 2024, with initial development focused on designing what the game would look like and what you'd be able to do. After some thinking, Saku became set on the game being designed with a crude pixel art style, using the resolution of the original [[wikipedia:Nintendo_DS|Nintendo DS]] (256x192) as a canvas. This would allow for easy development as Saku is not an artist or designer, and a smaller resolution would be better for rendering speed. The beloved ''unofficial-turned-official'' mascot character of the server, [[Cuppy]], was chosen as the main character as Saku thought it would be a nice way to properly integrate the character into the server and his design was already simple enough to redesign as a pixel-art version.{{Video|videoName=Unused original CuppyPet April Fools trailer|ytVideoId=WmNMNd48RKY|width=320}}
Bits and pieces of the game were developed over months between other work and a functioning version of the game was officially ready to showcase to [[Baristas]] in March, with the original intention to complete more features in time for a launch on April Fools Day (1st April 2025).

Due to a lack of time available to continue development, Saku wasn't satisfied with how the game was and the original April Fools launch was cancelled. A new date of the 12th June 2025 was set after it was discussed that it could be properly spotlighted within the server's yearly [[95 LIVE]] anniversary event. This allowed for few more months of development to properly flesh out the game with more features.

Once again, however, Saku became very busy and overall Guardian development slowed down. CuppyPet didn't develop much further, but minor adjustments were made to optimise and throughly bug test what was already there. The game did eventually launch in largely the same state it was about to launch in originally, with a [https://youtu.be/sxO_kaqm72Q?t=3548 specially made trailer and feature showcase] airing part way through 95 LIVE, to a lot of hype from members watching.

Shortly after launch, original [[Cuppy]] designer [[Mae]] joined on to design cosmetic items for Cuppy and Cuppy's room.

[[File:CuppyPetCoffee.png|alt=Cuppy having some coffee poured into him|thumb|Cuppy having some coffee poured into him]]
Cuppy requires coffee to be poured into him in order to be fed. Each cup of coffee ordered costs 5 [[Degreecoins]]. This increases Cuppy's happiness and hunger stats.

{{Infobox/Bot|name=Barry|icon=barry.jpg|developer=VoidInVoid}}

'''Barry''' is the primary persona of [[Guardian|95 Degrees Guardian]], built using [https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/gpt-4o-mini OpenAI's GPT-4o-mini AI model].

He's 63, lives in Slough, has a wife named Sandra, an older brother named [[Larry]], and loves footie and having a pint down at the pub with his mates. He also loves Brexit and Boris Johnson. He opposes anything he considers to be 'woke.'

If you're [https://95degrees.cafe/guardian/commands/levelling level 10], you gain access to being able to talk directly to Barry. You can do so by mentioning the [[Guardian]] bot, and then typing text after the mention.

== History ==
[[File:GuardianAITesting2023.png|alt=An example of Guardian's early AI services, answering questions about user data, along with some joke questions.|thumb|An example of Guardian's early AI services, answering questions about user data, along with some joke prompts.|423x423px]]
Barry is based heavily on the [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/barry-63 Barry, 63] meme, sharing the same image of a British man holding a pint of beer. The story and behaviour for the Barry persona was developed by [[VoidInVoid]] in collaboration with the [[Baristas|staff team]] following experiments to implement OpenAI's GPT models into Guardian, which had just recently become available publicly to use in early 2023.

Originally, Void was working on an advanced system that would allow you to request parts of your Guardian data in a way that was easy to use via GPT. You would be able to easily ask questions about your [[XP]], daily streak etc. in a way that the AI would intelligently work out and respond to with accurate up to date information. This is something which at the time was not easy to implement with OpenAI's tools, as they didn't officially support providing the AI external information in real time to answer questions, but Void managed to implement his own back and forth system to get it working.

Eventually, after some experimenting and messing around with what was possible with the AI, making it play various characters with various different ways of speaking and behaving, the staff team settled on Guardian's AI being a fun service for members to mess around with, and the character of Barry was developed.

At first, Barry was restricted to staff, and could only be accessed when a staff member was showing it off. After a few days, this was expanded out to donators only, due to the cost of using the AI model. In July 2024, access to donators only was changed to requiring Level 10+ following the move from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4o-mini and the decrease in cost for using the model. The change in model also allowed Barry to view images included with messages and react to them accurately.

== VC Barry ==
{{Video|videoName=A live demonstration of VC Barry, shown in 95 Live 2024.|ytVideoId=6EvtfzHRP54}}
As part of [[95 Live 2024]], Barry briefly gained the ability to join voice channels and speak to members with a voice. This functionality was built by Saku using OpenAI's speech-to-text and an ElevenLabs AI British voice. When summoned by a member to a voice channel, Barry could listen to that member and have a brief back and forth conversation, responding in the same way that he would if talked to in text channels. Unfortunately, due to limitations of the tech at the time, the conversations had around 10-20 seconds of processing time so there would be large gaps of silence.

Due to cost of running this feature, it was only available as part of the 95 Live celebrations and was removed after two weeks. There are no plans to bring VC Barry back in the foreseeable future.

== Trivia ==

* Barry has a Discord profile under the username 'barryage63.' Notably, his pronouns are ''end/wokeness''.
* Speaking to Barry 50 times will give you the "'Avin a Proper Natter" Guardian [[Achievements|achievement]], with a badge of Barry's photo that you can place on your profile.

== Notable Quotes ==

* "Based? What’s that supposed to mean, mate? You tryin’ to confuse me or sumthin’? Speak plain, will ya!"
* "Wibble wobble! 🎉 นี่คือความสนุก! 𓀀 𓀁 𓀂 𓀃 ซุปเปอร์ดี! Snizzle snazz, ฟิ๊บฟอ๊บ! 💥"
