Make a character that talks, put on a show, share it with your fans
The Influencer track is for a child who wants to be on screen without being on camera. The path has four steps, each a big picture tile with a spoken guide, and the mascot walks them through it: design a character, give it a voice, make friends for the show, and share the best moments with the fans, also known as the family.
Step one is the on-screen character. The child draws it or describes it, and Leaflit's Studio turns it into an animated avatar with idle and talking animations. Step two gives it a brain: Living Avatars put an AI personality inside the avatar so it can chat back on camera, face to face. Step three makes co-stars: companion characters to play a co-host, a sidekick or a rival. Step four posts favorite creations to the community gallery for everyone to see.
On Mudpuppy every part of this is locked safe-for-work at build time, and the companions and avatars a child meets are the safe-for-work set. Living Avatars is marked alpha and Leaflit's Studio is in beta, so a parent may want to sit in on the first show.

Frequently asked questions
Is my child on camera?
No. The character is an animated avatar made in Leaflit's Studio. The child designs it and gives it a voice; the avatar is what appears on screen.
What is a Living Avatar?
An animated avatar with an AI personality inside it, so it talks back face to face. On the Influencer track it turns the child's character into a co-host that can hold a conversation.
Who are the companions?
Characters the child creates to chat with: a co-host, a sidekick or a rival for the show. On this site the companion set is safe-for-work.
Where does the show go?
Favorite creations can be posted to the community gallery for everyone to see. Nothing is shared unless the child or parent chooses to share it.
Is any of this still in testing?
Yes. Living Avatars is marked alpha and Leaflit's Studio is in beta, so some parts may change or break while they are finished. A parent may want to sit in on the first show.
