Ahoy thar! I thought the community might be interested in what our 3 new audio guys have been working on. As you might have guessed, with 2 professional voice actors on the team, it's now possible to bring unique voices to each class. Yes! This means the Captain will no longer sound like a freshman student! But more oldish, rough and obviously sexier! The voice menu will also be redesigned to fit the new game play and for ease of use. I am really excited about it!
Let me introduce some of our hard-working voice actors!
The_Forgotton is working on the Captain, Berserker and Heavy Knight voices. He's been doing a great job on bringing new voices to each class. It's really quite difficult to tell that they've been recorded by the same person! I must admit he has lots of experience working in the industry and his work sounds fantastic.
Bingo Bango fancies himself as a character actor, and is providing the voices for the archer, skirmisher and gestir classes. Perhaps you already heard his first attempt at the archer in his application. No? Then quick go check it out >here<!!.
As for me, my task is simple: Make PVKII sound as well as it looks. I started audio work on replacing HL2 soundscapes and ambient generic. You might already notice it on hg_temple. Each map will have its own unique soundscape, to represent its own beauty. For custom mappers, it's also good news, since they will be able to put new PVKII ambient sounds into their maps. I also pay lots of attention to usefulness of in-game sound. Footsteps behind door, keg's wick, special ready etc... all those sounds that you are relying on, and there will be more with an update.
Well, enough talk, check the video below with some new voices and sound effects!!
Planned Audio Work: - New Voice for each Character [60% done] - New Soundscapes [90% done] - New Weapon Sounds [90% done] - New Player Sounds [95% done]
That's our audio progress so far. Lots of new audio will be added, lots will be remade and remixed. We're also interested in what the community wants to hear in the new patch, so if you have any suggestions for new sounds, please post them in our Suggestion Forum.
We plan on more audio development reports in the future, so keep an eye sharp! Thanks for reading!
