By generate procedurally, do you mean use unreal's tools like metahuman and just export a model? Or like, write code to build you a model? If the former, yeah, I would definitely recommend using some sort of preexisting humanoid avatar model that has all your blend shapes and replacement slots configured, then just building from that base. Building new dedicated humanoid characters is really an activity for people doing very art-driven projects with particular aesthetics. I personally work in Unity, so I just import UMA and that gives me good default humanoids out of the box that I can always replace with custom models later.

This whole thing just seems like an insane non problem to me. Families should have one language everyone can speak. You use that language at home. You want to teach them another language, you can do that. It's really not that hard.

It sounded to me like he's one of those serial entrepreneurs whose main skill is talking people out of there money. Adam Neumann sorta type, equally happy to spit his game on a government committee or private art investor.
I mean, no, it really isn't? There are nations in which you can discuss revolting against the government, where you can recruit men, buy weapons, and even drill in public, but as long as you don't pull the trigger, it's mostly accepted. And there are nations where that isn't true, and telling the wrong joke, or looking at a picture of a gun will get you jail time. The constitution sets out where various lines are. My point is the post above misunderstands drastically where the line actually is.
There's definitely other processes that work. I know some people who do manage to get books done by ruminating over the story in their head for ages and only writing when inspiration strikes them. Met one at a party last night actually, was an interesting talk. But they're the sort of people who actually are struck by inspiration regularly. For the rest of us, there is daily discipline.
Whatever one's process is, if it does not result in words on a page month over month, it will never result in books.
