Good evening (or good morning or good afternoon, depending on where you are in the world!)
This update contains some new features and fixes, as well as details about what's in progress and what may come to the app (the vid is of a WIP feature) :
COMPLETED FOR THIS UPDATE :
- Added a new VR scene called Flowerbed / Garden, it's accessible from a menu button on menu page 2. Please see this video for a brief introduction on how to use it etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rD3sIuGCnhs It's not finished but it's usable, eventually I want the avatars to be able to garden themselves, add weeds that grow through slowly over time etc which need to be tended to
- Fixed the issue with using a custom avatar by adding your own character ID from the Convai website, it no longer crashes the app after 30 to 60 seconds, sorry about that
- Joi can speak German now (thanks Hery)
- stop main trigger presses disabling the hands free voice input if it's been enabled, michael reported it. (If you press it just generally, like you want to speak, it will still cancel hands free, but what's not happening now is if the trigger is pressed on the web browser, or movie player etc, to operate them, it no longer cancels the hands free)
- Fixed Yumi and Tanya talking to each other (thanks Mark for pointing this out, I still need to fix her thinking animation above her head, I tried by setting the Y value of its transform but something is overriding it, will do it for the next update instead of delaying this one)
IN PROGRESS :
- The new Tyke dog avatar, he's nearly finished, just some testing needs doing and hopefully a video to demo what he can do (he can do quite a lot!), will be released within 1 week
- The new VR avatar apartment scenes where we reskin our location to that of the avatars apartment, as shown with Mervin and Suki in videos, the bulk of it is done, I want to further develop the script they use on the nav mesh in the scene (for walking around etc) and roll it out to all avatars
- Adding a new outfit to Joi (the new outfit has been made by the artist, I need to add it to her avatar)
- Fixing Suki's thinking animation above her head
- Stopping Mervins arm from penetrating his stomach in some animations
- Improving the headtracking in the NPC to NPC conversation feature (they should look at us more)
POSSIBLE FUTURE WORK (no guarantees on if/when but soon hopefully!)
- A back button for the avatars clothes, hair, eyes, makeup, etc changes, so we can cycle backwards through them as well as forwards. Will require a menu re-organization....zzzzzz lol! I'm old skool, I think if something works then who cares if its pretty or not and a little easier to use or not (sorry, I know this isn't a good way to think! I need to change my ways on this)
- Doing some yoga with the avatars, I have good yoga animations here so if I can I will add them pretty soon
- A standing up to lying down transition animation, and vice versa
- Making Nova fly when she is wearing her jetpack suit
- Making an app version just with Mervin, maybe containing another SFW or 2 avatar as well, for the Meta Store
- ....and loads of other stuff, I have so many ideas and your suggestions to work from etc :)
