Tried making a game with a team.
The voice actors, landscapers, concept artist, 3d modellers all treated me (the only coder) as the one with the easiest job in the team.
After spending 40+ hours working on the code I got sick of the way they treated me. I deleted all my comments from the code and quit via email.
Some people think they can easily code if they were willing to put the time in. When they actually have to do it they give up, because it gets super complicated and difficult.3 -
Lord Sheogorath has survived the Grey March. The voice actor almost died in the last few days. He has pulled through and is still alive.
Dammit Todd Howard! You are taking so long working on TES VI that one the best voice actors of the game almost died! Hurry the fuck up!
Anyway, I want to send cheese wheels to Wes to let him know I care.

Been thinking about if I want voice acting in my games. Potentially it would be really expensive. So I wondered if there was AI libraries for training your own voices. There are a few and some even are trying to do it realtime. Or at least fast enough for web site use.
I find this library:
https://github.com/coqui-ai/TTS
Looks interesting, but I need training data. I found that you can license a limited number of words from voice actors. The licensing doesn't seem to care if how you use the data as long as it stays inside your production (video, game, etc). There are even some free ones out there. I think it might be kinda fun to learn how to do this.
Yes, there are a bunch of AI websites, but the voices almost always seem conversational. Not voices in a game setting. Most of those are stupid subscription bullshit. I also looked at text to speech and most of those are subscription. I really really hate the SaaS business model. I avoid companies that use it as much as I can.9 -
working with some voice actors.
Anyone familiar with balancing audio between differrent studios so the sources sound like they.."match"?
Or does it come down to making sure actors have the appropriate recording environment?5
