Understood!
There’s quite a few different ways to do… well, everything, so I’m pretty stubborn when there’s other methods.
Don’t get me started on AI. I avoid behavior trees like the plague. I’m comfortable with blueprints, and I’m not budging.
Okay, I will check out Audio2Face. I’m learning Faceware and it’s pretty great, but it has trouble tracking me in certain lights… probably because I’m black. Software still has some trouble with darker skin in certain lighting.
I actually fully intend to act in the game (I’ve got some chops) so it’s funny you said that. So far I’ve successfully made fully functional missions with audio dialogue, combat, object interactions, inventory, etc… (Just no facial animations… and I don’t intend to go the way of “Choo-Choo Charles” - shudder).
Lastly, my game will be small in scope, RPG, yes, with quite a bit of dialogue, but only a handful of characters (6 tops). It’ll be post-apocalyptic which really, REALLY helps with scope, let me tell you.
Thank you for the insight! Anything else come to mind, I’m listening.
