This week has been a lot less busy than the previous weeks for
my fellow artist and me at the republic of cheerful as we have gotten pretty
much every vital visual asset ready for implementation. The main thing I’ve
been getting up to is importing all the assets we own onto the engine, scaling
them to the correct size making sure the filter mode is set To Point; allowing
the maximum possible quality, Assigning them to a layer so they don’t appear
behind the background, converting them to prefabs and exporting the prefabs so
they are ready to be implemented by the programmer in the game. That was a
little time consuming but I still had plenty of time left over to experiment on
something I normally wouldn’t even think of touching.
A while back my team
mentioned implementing comedic voice overs that would mock the players for
everything they did in order to provoke the emotion of anger. I thought I would
attempt to do these comedic voice overs but… let’s just say it didn’t work out.
Before recording I wrote down a series of things I would say for each part of
the game for example in the character select screen I would say in a
stereotypical british accent, “Don’t choose that character you idiot!” or
something along those lines. In theory these would hopefully be seen as humorous
because the game is focused on multiplayer gameplay and let’s admit it… we love
hearing our friend be called an idiot :D .
Unfortunately my voice is pretty terrible especially when I attempt
to put on an accent that isn’t my own. It may have just been the recording that
was terrible because I was recording off my gaming headset. Although the
recordings were terrible I was determined to make something out of them. I used
Audacity to De-Ess (get rid of the horrible “S” sounds) the audio files, change
the pitch to a deeper tone, extend the tempo and played around with various
other tools that were available but I just ended up making my voice sound like
a robot.
Note to self: “Don’t quit your day
job!”
Also our game is now officially
called: The Cosmic Crucible of Chaos. K Bye :)
