Well, NH set the deadline for 15th of Januray, which means that any voice sets for a campaign are out of scope. Now my question is, what does this mean for a campaign?

 

How do you judge the chances that you can do voice acting later on again, when we know what we will need for a campaign? I don't know your agreement with your actors. Maybe that is no problem at all, but I can imagine that not all of them might be available at a later time, so that leaves me with the question how this would influence campaign voice acting?

 

And it doesn't even make sense to take what we already have (don't even think about it :) ) because this will be changed for sure several times, until we can lock down the story.

No no, the lock down only affects AI barks. Not scripted campaign material. The actors that I have are aware of the situation and that I will have to call them in from time to time. No trouble there. What I am locking down though is just the base reactions. The scripted material comes later. No trouble. :) I really can't see us having the need for that many more AI barks.

Wouldn't we also need to start writing little ambient conversations between guards or between nobles etc?

Nothing to do with any story or campaign, but just the funny ones you overhear in the Thief games.

Nope, not yet. They are scripted and will be part of the campaign. The next four months will be strictly for the voice set foundations.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
