Title: *shock* I actually found the time to add my own campaign to my workload
Post by: Tiara on June 12, 2003, 01:37:40 pm
Since my last story kinda sucked some major virtual ass, I've written a new story-line. Here are some features of my campign:

- First mission is done :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
- Bosch beer is back in business and has just gained a monopoly on explosive beer products! :drevil:
- Bosch beer somehow ressurects the NTF ( :ha: )
- GTVA finally finds out what Bosch was trying to do with the Shivans and what happened to him when the Shivans took him.
- Big things go boom!
- Lotsa small things go boom!
- GTVA goes abroad :devil:
- [insert some more features]
- [and some more]
- [ow, and here... insert another feature here]

Please, any questions, post 'm here...

Also, synthed voice as an add on or no add on (an optional one (DOH!))???

Deus Ex Machina, made by Goober 5000.

and the cube i ment was a cubical ship with a very big turret, and without textures and stuff. it's created by following Karajorma's turreting tut and was suggested for DEM II.

Length: aiming for ~10 mission per episode
# of episodes: At least 3
Help needed? Not ATM, I'll shout when I do :)

I'll write up an intro soon ;)

And Venom: Yeah, guess you are right, the beer was a wee bit off from what I had in mind :p The other features will include optional synthed voices (I doubt I can find 6 different ppl to do voices :p), new weaponry, the usual :p

Meh, it'd be optional. And I hate no voices at all. These would only be used for briefing and cbriefs. Not in-mission messages.

Also, I found quite a good engine ;)

Here, an example of the synthed voice. Personally I think its pretty good and realistic. (http://www.swooh.com/peon/Tiara/Freespace/example.wav)

Heh, I'm not gonna hire voice actors. I'd need too many people :p

Now, tell me what you think of the synthed voice I posted in my previous post.

donwloading now, easy with that axe.

uhm, kinda good, but voice acting is better.

btw, i don't mind double roles, i can do some accents, i am told my scottish one is pretty reasonable.

and i can give a very, very Dutch accent, think Duisenberg.

wouldn't be that hard, if you TCO and me take 3 roles each, you're set.

and i think you can convince TCO to do some voices, right?

too bad.

but there is a link to free voice actors around here somewhere, those guys do voice acting for people they never heard of, just for fun, IIRC. check Vwatch.

Well, I'm first gonna do the campaign. Voices aren't the most important part of a campaign.

uhm, yeah, forgot that, missions first.

that's what i've been telling someone with dark-blue texzt for the last month or so, so i should know that myself.

if you need help beta testing, or with story writing, i might be able to do something, a little bit, starting in 3 weeks, after my tests.
