Post by: Ace on July 04, 2005, 05:59:36 pm: We're over halfway done with episode 2.

After we're done testing the missions we'll want to start on the VO work, and tweak the mods. (making sure that the models, textures are on par with the newer things, etc.)

Post by: Ypoknons on July 05, 2005, 12:28:59 am: Honestly I'm confident that BWO is getting worked on; it's just that beta testing is a quiet time since there's hardly anything to show off, and plus, BWO never did show off much in the first place.

Voice Acting is a very good thing.

Post by: Kosh on July 09, 2005, 02:21:55 pm: I can live without it. If I had a choice between waiting 3 more years for the voice acting to be done, or releasing the campaign now I would choose the campaign.

Post by: achtung on July 09, 2005, 02:55:51 pm: I could wait about four to five months for voice acting tops, if it takes any longer I agree with kosh's stance.

Post by: TopAce on July 10, 2005, 09:37:03 am: But would people replay the campaign they had already completed just to see how the campaign works with voices?

Post by: IceFire on July 10, 2005, 10:08:07 am: Voice Acting
Pros:
- Easier to understand messages
- Gets characters voices as weight behind them

Cons:
- Massive file size
- Large amount of work required to setup
- Requires many volunteer voice actors

With the amount of dialogue we have...it'd be 100s of MB.

Post by: Ace on July 10, 2005, 09:40:31 pm: The current plan is once beta testing is finished to begin voiceover work and enhancing the mods.

The campaign would then be released when this is finished, and a non-VO version would be available.

I was already thinking that BWO could be HTL-fied by the time VO and beta testing are done. ;)
