So, it's week 8, things are due week 10, and it's starting to feel like I'm in the hot box. I was, quite literally, sitting in a hot box all weekend. I recorded 25 hours worth of dialogue this weekend. Unfortunately, the sound booth was completely unventilated, so we were all sweating in there.
Honestly, it was a small price to pay. I got premium voice acting out of people. I thought possibly I might need to change the voice actor for Richard, but Harald ended up doing it and really came through. He was absolutely perfect for the role and embodied the character perfectly. I'm really happy with how it all came out because I'm relying quite heavily on the voice acting to convey emotion. The writing, of course, does as well, but there are players who just don't want to read that much. I'm not sure what they would be doing playing a NWN mod anyway, but I have to account for them.
So, I have ahead of me, a lot of .wav editing to do. I'm going to cheat the NWN system and try to mimic the Mass Effect system. I'll condense Declan's (the MC) lines and have his complete lines voice acted, and then have the NPC respond. The NWN dialogue system doesn't actually work this way, so I'll have to merge Declan's responses with the NPC's. I'll have to merge the .wav files, specifically. Soooo, there's that. I also need to just polish the mod, and then also make a video of it. Yay! I'm hoping things will get done pretty quickly but we'll see...
