Half-Life 2: Voice Enhancement Mod: FP Edition (Skeletors and Dr. Girlfriends Wanted!) - Games

[QUOTE=Marcolade;50734396]Bumping to help garner some more attention. Also, I have been made project manager, according to the folks on Discord. So there you go. So yeah, we're starting over in the sense that we're just dialing back a lot and going to focus more on finishing the voice work first. Only afterwards, will we start changing and implementing other cool stuff. The only things I can think of that we're keeping right now in terms of the extra features, is stuff that already got finished, like the radio system. Other than that, everything else is focused on voice work at the moment. That being said, here's a list of things we still need to work on, in both ideas and actual voice work: [B][U]Major characters:[/U][/B] Dr. Breen - Portrayed as Kermit the Frog. We honestly just need to come up with better lines for him, that's all. Dr. Kleiner Eli Vance Barney Calhoun The G-Man - Idea has been fairly cemented that he's this Italian mobster type, but if anyone has any better ideas, feel free to pitch them. Grigori - Idea is currently tied between a Mickey Mouse themed character, and an over-the-top stereotypical slavic voice. Once again though, if anyone comes up with anything better, throw it out there. D0g [B][U]Minor characters:[/U][/B] Boxcar Joe The Vortigaunts Various humans/rebels [B][U]Enemies/NPCs:[/U][/B] Antlion Antlion Guard Barnacles Headcrabs Zombies Metropolice Overwatch Soldiers (including Elites and prison guards) If there's anything I've missed, let me know. But anyways, we're open to suggestions and if you want your voice in the mod, just record yourself and post it in here. We can't guarantee anything though, as we're generally going to choose what people seem to like most, and I intend to use things like strawpoll to help gauge people's feelings towards certain ideas and helping to choose people for what characters they'll play as. But most important to remember through all of this: Have fun with it. That's why we all started this goofy shit to begin with.

[QUOTE=AJ10017;50738074]if you need a better mic i recommend getting this [URL="http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/wired_mics/c75c5918ed57a8d0/"]http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/wired_mics/c75c5918ed57a8d0/[/URL] or anything other than a headset mic or an integrated laptop mic. only downside of that microphone i posted is its a bit pricy (price on that page is wrong, amazon has it listed for $140, XLR variant is $80), but you can buy all the stuff to get the cheaper XLR version working for around 10-15 dollars less on amazon (you need an XLR cable, phantom power supply, a stand, and an XLR to USB cable for hooking it into your PC, and a sock to act as a shitty pop filter if you dont want to buy one)[/QUOTE] Yeah I got one of those $5 Zalman mics because it's somehow better than my other microphone that I had on my Siberia v2s, which I broke somehow...a lot...over time.

[QUOTE=AJ10017;50747565]From my experience steel series puts the worst quality microphones possible on their headsets no matter how expensive the headset is[/QUOTE] SteelSeries in general is garbage, I have used the Siberia v2 (headset) and the Kinzu v1 ("gaming" mouse using a sensor made for wireless mice), I still use the Kinzu v1 because I haven't found something better for my hand yet. I believe that any "gaming" headset is overpriced trash.

Fuck it, it's going on hold for a while. The problem was that we waited a month to get our shit together and everyone sort of lost interest. It's one step away from being outright canned. So yeah, it'll be a while before we've got anything to show.

That's disappointing. Did all of the voices we did so far go to waste?

I don't think so. We [I]could[/I] get the ball rolling again, but I think a lot of folk have either lost interest or are currently too busy with their own stuff to focus on this right now. Maybe we'll legit try picking this up again in a month or so, with a new thread.

Sorry for being a bit necroposty, but could you folks upload the voice stuff? It seems like a damn shame to lose it.

[QUOTE=Marcolade;50933374]Also, given that some time has passed now, I suppose I'll go ahead and ask: Would anyone legit be interested in picking this back up again?[/QUOTE]Hell, I still am. Dunno about everyone else, but I'll gladly take another crack at it.

I just got an actual microphone to replace what I was using before, which was my phone connected to my computer and using an app that turned it into a microphone. If it was put to good use, I can certainly rerecord my lines and do more.

so I know it's been a year and a half, but does anyone wanna give this another shot?

Please do, i love silly mods

I think it just needed some better organization: dedicated leader, publicly available todo/checklist (maybe trello?). By the way I still have most if not all assets that were dedicated to this.

I could take the reigns if Aaron's not showing any interest in the project. I genuinely want to get this back off the ground again.

I think I've still got the small sound contributions I made to this backed up somewhere on my PC if you end up needing those. As suXin suggested, a to-do/checklist would be extremely convenient.

I am no leader, and I'm not sure how much needs to be done, but I'd love to lend an amateur voice to this if that is still needed.

I'll have to compile a to-do list of what needs to be done first. Might remake the old Discord server as well.
