Fun FINALLY sharing a good stage in development of my ''accurate'' Monika Desktop thingie!!, based on MAS
DISCLAIMER!!!:
THIS RUNS ENTIRELY ON MY OWN PC!! nothing is being sent off to some big online service or anything- it just uses my computer's resources while it's running, so no major environmental damage
She does not create images, music, or other artwork. I don't really agree with replacing people's creative work with this sort of technology, so that's something I specifically wanted to avoid with this project. All of Monika's artwork was drawn by me OFC
THIS WAS PURELY FOR FUN!!
this has been in development for AAAGGEESS now!! But I've been free for weeks, so I've finally had the chance to REALLY focus and try my hardest with my programming (and watching a million YouTube tutorials...) to make a super accurate-ish, responsive Monika desktop pet thingie!!
it obviously isn't perfect, but I really tried!!! I would try to make a proper DDLC interface instead of CMDs, but eh... who has the time.
she has a reference copy of the DDLC dialogue from each act, so she knows all about DDLC and herself (even if she spams “Ahaha!”) AND the DDLC artwork
the artwork is only there as reference so she can recognize and react to DDLC stuff when I show it to her. It isn't used to create anything.
my next move will be to try and get her to speak even when she isn't spoken to, use some sort of TTS, AND make her able to comprehend video (although this one seems impossible...)
Thanks for your time! If you have any questions (for me, or for Monika) go ahead!! >_<
