Development Plan - Ongoing

Probably a good idea to lay out a map of what I want to do, and when I want to do it.

• Feb 2nd - Today; As of now a few things are already completed, or nearing completion:

  • Character is modeled, rigged, and mostly textured.

  • Blend Shapes are working, but all the visemes need to be made.

  • TTS is set up, and ready to be implemented further.

• By Feb 9th - have all visemes made, and lip syncing set up.

  • Have ChatGPT implemented in Unity.

  • Have user text input set up.

  • By this point, the main concept should be fully functional. Just with no extra fat in it yet.

  • Begin implementing state machine functionality. Have different states planned and ready to be improved upon.

• By Feb 16th - test and implement emotional cues and responses.

  • Have keywords that trigger emotional states, and that influence Blend Shapes and animations.

  • UI design?

  • If, by this point, the system works in a satisfying way, I would like to make more characters. They have to be done by -somewhat- scratch, so this is just some extra fun.
