## VPupPr hiatus

The main developer of vpuppr ([@Youwin](https://github.com/you-win)) has decided to take an official hiatus! Community forks of vpuppr may exist in the future for both godot versions (3.x and 4.x) so keep an eye out.

## How do I build from source?

vpuppr runs off a custom build of the Godot engine. Get a pre-compiled build of the engine [here](https://github.com/you-win/godot/releases). After that, follow the official vpuppr instructions [here](https://github.com/virtual-puppet-project/vpuppr#building-from-source).

## Why is tracking is not responding?

Please note it might take a second for tracking to activate. It _is_ trying to track your face! Also check that
your face is well lit. Usually having a lamp above your desk is enough. If it's still not working, submit an issue
and/or ask the Discord community!

## Why is mouse tracking not included by default?

Simply put, it's a very niche use-case and is less preferable to real face tracking.

## What engine is vpuppr using?

Currently vpuppr runs on Godot 3.x with plans to port over to 4.x once Godot 4 becomes more stable.
Currently vpuppr stable runs on Godot 3.x with 4.x in development but on hiatus for now.

### Announcement

`In the interest of not getting anyone's hopes up, vpuppr's development is now indefinitely on hiatus. I am sorry for letting it drag on for as long as it did, and I am sorry I never got vpuppr to a state where it could actually be useful.` -Youwin (Creator of VPupPr)
