I've been keeping an eye on this one Besides audio, it looks like it's near completion... Keep up the good work!

I've just voted as well! He's a cute little guy!

The other kids are cute too, but this one got my vote because you can tell he's already thinking about the answers to the Sword Master's insults.

Haha, he is a cute kid for sure!
I've voted, and expect that in return you train him well in the ways of the adventure gamer.

You know that's going to happen.  My granddaughter is 7 and I've already got her addicted.

Don't forget about the Atari 2600 and Vinyl records!

By the way, will we be releasing on vinyl?

Thanks for your comments and critiques, guys

After all the time spent on them, which included the goofing off, swearing and clusterfucks, it feels great to have these two songs finally out there!

\\--EDIT--//
Yes, the drums are programmed by Dan for the time being.

\\--EDIT2--//
Also, Dan, Facebook doesn't let me listen to them all the way through. They both stopped at a minute and 40 something.
Could just be my computer?
And on Reverbnation, in the "Basic Information" box, Dualnames is cut off like a bastard child

Dave, this sounds incredible. I will be keeping you in mind for the future if I ever decide to take this route.

Keep on topic people. The last 5 posts, including mine here, have nothing to do with the game.

Was it, "Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment"?

This is the the wrong forum, by the way You should have posted this in the Adventure Talk and Chat forum. This forum is for completed game announcements.

Everything's becoming kinect compatible and multiplayer enabled and super interactive these days... to be honest I want none of those things. Most game designers nowadays miss the forest for the trees. They're obsessed with breathtaking particle effects and realism and glossy textures, or trying to be an underdog spin-off of CoD. And it boils down to one thing. Designers make games which can be consumed by the hordes of people looking for game dope, not something which is poetic or original gameplay. FPS has been rehashed on the console so many times, breathtaking is just boring. FPS has over evolved. It's like a seagull that's eaten too much rice and explodes in a shower of brains. Racing games nowadays are great visually but they lack the excitement of the grandfather games. The game industry is worth billions of dollars now and that's corrupted the art form. Imo.

I agree. I do think these new things are neat and some games look nice, but... yeah. What you said.

Or like rap music (or the music industry in general), but I won't go any further than that

Unreal Tournament, Rainbows and Teddy Bears??!

Where the hell is McCarthy 2 and Troica??

COME ON YOU GUYS!

Well, you can say into your computer's mike "click the eye cursor on X=150 Y=120" and this will have the same result as using your actual mouse to click that particular cursor on that hotspot, only less more efficient

Thank you, Radiant, for answering my question! It was an honest question and was not meant to smart-assed toward Isiah at all. I was wondering why nobody before you had answered it :

Man alive, when did everyone around here become so negative? I think a game designed to work with voice control could be pretty interesting.

Imagine a game that has no visuals, but is intended to be played with headphones and eyes shut. All the sounds been taped using Binaural Recording.

You could play as a blind detective, talking to people, maybe getting kidnapped and having to listen for clues to where you're being taken, or a guy sneaking round some totally pitch black enviroment, moving by saying "forward" or "left" and stuff, and listening to the sounds around you to work out where would be safe to go, and what's there.

I have no idea if actual binaural recording is possible to make or fake up without proffesional equipment, but I think you could make some interesting sound only games even without it if you wanted to - and blind people could play them too, which would be ace.

(couple of examples of binaural recording if anyone hasn't heard of it -

You'll need headphones for it to work.)

Hmm, this whole voice control thing sounded a little wonky to me at first, but seeing this post from you has "opened my eyes", heh. Those ideas of yours sound fecking awesome! I would LOVE to play a game similar to what you gave for examples. Great ideas, man :o

Thank you for posting, Creed If you hadn't I'd still be thinking the idea was just time wasted on another "cool feature".

This looks and sounds very good! I'm looking forward to this

LOL

I was wondering the same damn thing

What the hell is voice control?

Iceygames I choose YOU!!

Use SPELL-ING!

And in one fell swoop of Calin's Hair Swish attack, Iceygames has fallen!

Seriously, Duals? You honestly thought your Icey's Spelling Attack was any match for my CalinLeafshade's?? NOBODY'S spelling is a threat to Calin's ability to correct it! HOOAH!

\\--EDIT--//
And also, I agree with Blackthorne. Don't be put off because of one wierd chick. There's a million more out there.

CALIN! I choose you!

Use Hair Swish!

I once said "Women are like beer - you have to enjoy it while it lasts and after that you just have to go to the bar to get another one."

Nice one, Rick! But at least beer is a lot less expensive, whereas, you can buy thirty of them and keep them in the fridge. Storing women in the fridge is probably frowned upon.

Sorry to hear that. A black man once told me (seriously) "No matter how much you love her, she'll always be a bitch."

A black man once shouted at me whilst kicking the door open, "WHERE ALL THE BEER AT?!1!"

The above is a true story.

Moving to the correct forum!

I say you don't do an accent at all I can't stand having to read accents and trying to figure them out without voice work. Most of those lines you gave from above I did not understand at all. And if this character was a main character in the story, or an NPC I HAD to talk to in order to advance the story/current puzzle, I would probably quit as a result of not knowing what he's saying.

I also agree with Arj0n, "Ze" always makes me think it's German.
