Video Update

I've since added a little bit more to the animations. There's two different Idle animations that will change randomly, and he switches to a talking animation while speaking.

I need to add one for while he's thinking---something for within the few seconds it takes upon receiving a response until speaking it aloud.

Next step is to implement a keyword system for his emotions. ChatGPT is pretty consistent about providing emotional keywords when I ask it to. Adding an instruction along the lines of "at the end of each response, write in brackets the keyword that best represents the emotion of the response: Sad, Angry, Happy, Curious, Neutral" has provided a useful response each time I run it. So I'll write another quick text parsing script that separates that keyword from the rest of the response so that it can be used for my emotion animation controller, and so that it won't show up in the final text box.

For now, the different emotions are just shown at the end.

But anyway, here's a video of everything all together so far!

(I think him saying "Bon-jur" is really funny so I kept that in. the TTS doesn't handle other languages or uncommon names very well. especially not french lmao)
