Notes

This update marks a very early experimental stage in our goal of making Mikasa's behavior feel more natural and expressive.

We are exploring how ChatGPT, the procedural movement engine, Minecraft, and optional Fish Audio voice synthesis can work together to create believable conversations and body language, progressively reducing reliance on fixed, predefined animations.

This system is still highly experimental. Movements may appear unnatural, repetitive, inaccurate, or limited by the current character model and animation engine.

Achieving truly freeform, context-aware body movement is an incredibly difficult challenge. I'm not even sure whether it's possible to fully achieve the level of freedom and naturalness I have in mind. It's an ambitious goal, and there are still many technical limitations to overcome, but I intend to keep experimenting, exploring different approaches, and seeing how far I can take it.

The goal is not simply to add more animations, but to give Mikasa greater freedom to express herself through dynamically generated movements.

Further improvements and new interactions are planned for future updates.

Requires Mikasa Bridge Windows 0.16.0.
