vpuppr VS dialogic

I don't know how one compiles software on mac, but there is a request for mac compatibility here: https://github.com/virtual-puppet-project/vpuppr/issues/187

For now, there's VPupPr (formerly OpenSeeFace-GD), developed by a friend YouWin, that's native for Linux. It uses OpenSeeFace, open source face tracking developed by the developer of VSeeFace. It works fine as it is, but I recommend waiting a little while, while YouWin finishes the UI redesign, making it a lot cleaner and a lot of features accessible.

VSeeFace hasn't been made for Linux, but OpenSeeFace, the face tracker, is open-source and runs on linux using Python. And we use it to use other face tracking apps relying on OpenSeeFace, like Vtube Studio, Pupeteer / OpenSeeFace-GD

VeeSeeFace and it's open source counterpart vpuppr can only rig 3D vrm models. You need a completely different type of program to rig a 2d model, like Inochi2d or live2d.

The meshes must be separate, so this will work: https://github.com/virtual-puppet-project/puppeteer/issues/114

The fork of this does. It's called VSS.

For some context, I'm an experienced (~10 years) programmer starting to dabble in game development. I'm learning to build various systems to gain experience and understanding, and recently I was interested in developing a dialogue system with an editor similar to what Dialogic provides.

Use something like Dialogic or (personal recommendation) Dialog Manager.

I used a Godot plugin called "Dialogic" to create it, still working on the themes and assets, so most changes made are cosmetic.

There are two great dialogue systems available for Godot, Godot Dialogue Manager, which is geared more towards writing things in a script, and Dialogic with a nice user interface, that is more artist-friendly (though direct script editing is also available). It also has more features (at least in the new version, which is currently under development for the upcoming Godot 4 and might not be suitable for production).

Here you go. You should try RC3 with this. https://github.com/coppolaemilio/dialogic/commits/main

Dialogic 2.0 is supposed to be Godot 4 ready (according to github https://github.com/coppolaemilio/dialogic)

For your second question, try looking at existing add-ons like Dialogic either for a ready to use implementation or as inspiration for how to code your own.
