There's a lot of handy PNGTuber programs out there (I've even used one before!) but while thinking about updating to my protogen sona, I sorta realized, "wait, couldn't I just program my own?" And then I got to thinking, "wouldn't it be cool if I animated him drawing while I'm drawing" and, well...

So a handful of web searches and far fewer hours than I would've initially thought typing out some Game Maker code and I've got this test rig set up. The square that's changing colour is simply reacting to my microphone input, whereas the arm is moving based on my mouse's position on my tablet monitor. And it also works with the pen itself, as long as I have Windows Ink turned off. Plus, it all works without the window needing to be in focus, which is really the most important aspect.

So... basically all I need to do now is set up an expressions changer and then create the finalized assets. This was way easier than I thought it would be.
