rhubarb-lip-sync VS o3de

Anyway, I used Rhubarb Lip Sync for this. Made tool plugin for Godot to pass the parameters to Rhubarb and grabbed the stdout (json) and saved that and the audio file to a custom resource file. I'm simply playing the audio, getting the playback position and check if it's more than the Rhubarb's mouthCue "end" value, I change to the next mouth shape.

Hello everyone, I'm making a WebGL application that consists on using the Text To Speech Google API to get an audioclip and then save it as a .wav (using savWav by drawcode). With this .wav, I use rhubarb lipsync to get a JSON and then an avatar says the line (written on a text box at runtime) with lip synchronization. It works as intended in the editor and when built as a desktop app. The thing is that when the build is for WebGL, I don't know where to save the .wav. I'm using Aplication.persistenDataPath but it is causing a bug that makes the clip to play twice. My theory is that it plays two times because SavWav doesn't know the path to save the audio and plays it. When I don't try to save the audio, it only plays once.

There's a program called Rhubarb Lip Sync that you should look into.

It's odd to me that when the whole Unity fiasco happened, everyone was basically looking at either Godot or Unreal, but pretty much nobody mentioned or cared for something like O3DE.

If you praise Godot for being open source a lot, then it stands to reason that you should similarly prefer O3DE as opposed to Unreal: https://github.com/o3de/o3de/blob/development/LICENSE.txt (no idea why they're going for both Apache 2 and MIT license, though) vs https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/license

Unless people just care about the options that are popular enough to warrant their attention and the features that they provide, whereas the licensing is actually a boon, rather than the main factor, given that Unreal also did some slight price increases a while later as well: https://www.unreal-university.blog/post/unreal-engine-5-pric...

Either way, it's still nice to have lots of options available regardless of the licensing details (though this kind of does fragment developers among bunches of different projects), be it Godot, O3DE, Stride, Unreal or even something like jMonkeyEngine (one of the rare Java engines/editors with 3D) or NeoAxis (that one had a cool voxel LOD solution, but performance on AMD hardware was bad).

03DE: Open source game engine, under Apache License 2.0, developed by Amazon and the linux foundation. Seems to work under a modular package called "gems", that you can use to pull in the functionality you need. It uses c++ as it's main language, but you can use Lua, python or visual scripting for scripting stuff. Has multiplayer built into the engine and what they call a "robust" system for open-world games. There seems to be a lot of tutorials on the site, but they aren't laid out great.
