FreeSpace Discussion / Re: Can we get someone to just AI Voice Over new missions with Robert Loggia etc...

« Last post by Mongoose on April 15, 2024, 08:24:17 pm »

My two cents: at the end of the day, I consume/play creative works because they are just that, created. They are a way of sharing in the skills and talents of another person, whether it's their ability to craft fantasy spacecraft out of nothing but Blender and their own imagination, to craft a piece of music that they devised, or to deliver a great vocal performance. That creative spark is a fundamental part of the human existence as far as I'm concerned. If the mass-market entertainment industry starts going the way of soulless algorithm-generated pablum, then they've officially lost me as a customer. I'll stick to what's being made by actual people.

And that's before you get into the massive ethical issues raised by applying generative AI to a deceased person's voice in order to generate a novel performance without their or their family members' permission. No thank you.

I'm looking forward to you playing Incursion and its sequel Return To Sol.

They have somewhat similar gameplay to "Renegade Resurgence" (which you liked) IMO.  Missions are, for the most part, fairly quick and to the point.

It's functionally not that different from IRC. The HLP discord really isn't very fast.

Yeah! YouTube deleted 120 views from ANOTHER one of my VODs!  We must combat the system! We must combat SHODAN!

Fate of the Galaxy / Re: Star Wars: The Original Trilogy mod

« Last post by ferlanero on April 12, 2024, 01:15:03 pm »

Note [from me, Wookieejedi]:
I was the lead on the Original Trilogy Mod before joining Fate of the Galaxy (FotG). And having been involved in both teams, I'll add that FotG is many orders of magnitude more extensive, stable, mission-completed, and feature rich then the Original Trilogy mod was. This Original Trilogy Mod was more of a cobbled together asset dump. Thus, this Original Trilogy mod is no longer in active-development and is being uploaded simply as an archive that works with more modern (2023) FSO builds.

Regarding Fate of the Galaxy development, we are progressively moving closer to meeting our final milestones for a public release. Once those goals are met and polished, we will be extremely excited to share the game with everyone!

Thank you very much for this info. We'll wait patiently for FotG
