Update 315...New doggo avatar : Tyke 🐾🐶

Hello!

This is Tyke, the new dog avatar, sorry it took a quite long to get him to the stage of being ready for release, I keep starting new things before finishing things I am already working on 😅

Here is a summary of what he is, what he can do etc :

Tyke is a Patterdale Terrier based on my previous dog, Tyke, although this app version Tyke can talk whereas the real Tyke couldn't of course!
he can speak 16 languages, they are : English, Italian, Spanish, German, French, Dutch, Japanese, Portuguese, Brazilian, Russian, Czech, Polish, Mexican, Chinese (Mandarin), Korean, and Danish
he has interaction physics so can be stroked/petted etc, with controllers or hand tracking
the voice commands he understands are : Sit, Lie down, Wait (he will wait where he is until called), Stand (if he's sitting), Speak/Bark, Hush (no barking for 10 minutes), Good boy, Come here, Go away, Lets play fetch/lets play ball, Start digging, Go to sleep, Wake up, Go crazy, Take a poo, Take a pee, Go to the toilet, Follow me
to play fetch say the voice command, ball is in your right hand, throw it (it lets go at the top of your swing (on a controller you can also press A), he fetches and drops it at your feet, touch it within 15 seconds to go or else it disappears (right grip trigger to pick it up if using controllers or finger pinch if using hands). The ball always lands on the floor even if you throw it onto the sofa so he can always get to it.
give him a few seconds after the scene loads to learn your floor before he appears.
while he's asleep he ignores chit chat (any command wakes him)

He isn't finished i.e. I want to add a VR scene for him, with like a play area, toys, food, etc. Also want to improve some of his animations.

Tyke is version 0.98.9 is now available from the usual google drive link which is in the pinned post : "DOWNLOAD THE APPS FROM HERE 😊", found here : https://www.patreon.com/TykeAI/posts/download-apps-111848287 once installed he is called TykeAI_Tyke_Dog in your Quest's Unknown Sources folder.
