I'm more than willing to contribute my voice to this game.. it looks really interesting.  I'm liking the visual style a lot.

Just send me a PM and let me know what you're looking for.  I'd be happy to send you some samples.

EDIT:  Please note that I'm an American and have a fairly neutral American accent.  I can do several stereotypical North American accents, but when I try to do a British/Russian/etc. accent it always comes off sounding very cheesy.  Of course, that can sometimes be a good thing. =)

[eVOLVE]

Love the big sprites, and the overall style. Replied to your PM Hope I can help...

[Monk]

thank you for your kindness and all the help support, im glad you're all like it, and i hope we can work it out and make this game enjoyable by all.

'Cheers!

I spent some minutes looking around in the game and here are some of my quick thoughts:

Hugo's idle pose while looking right/left is a bit tense. He does not look comfortable.

I like all the GUI's and the look all in all is nice and coherent. I personally would punch up the lighting a notch though, what I've seen so far has been flatter than necessary. Don't be afraid of having powerful light sources. I'm curious, what are you rendering these in?

You are not scaling Hugo. It hurts the perspective part of my brain. (My perspective part is somewhat dominant compared to others though so I don't know how important this is for people in general.)

For some reason I had a hard time getting indoors from the balcony. Not sure why. Small hotspot simply I guess.

I like the bloopreent map. Nice design!

Hugo's idle pose while looking right/left is a bit tense. He does not look comfortable.

Yes, i thought so, i am currently working on the 3/4 animation for it.

I personally would punch up the lighting a notch though, what I've seen so far has been flatter than necessary. Don't be afraid of having powerful light sources.

oh, believe me, i want that, onlyI'm having troubles in adjusting & putting them into the scene. as in i still need to learn more about applying lighting, if you can give me pointers, that would surely help! like your OTE Game.. lights there are amazing!

I'm curious, what are you rendering these in?

I'm just rendering the primitives in 3D programs, thenI'm adding new layers of lines and graphics & colors manually in Flash & Photoshop

Thank you so much for your input, i will try to made some repairs later tonight,

[CosmoQueen]

Looks really great! I'm looking forward to playing it
