When are we going to see an English voice actors path? That should be top priority in my eyes. You've fixed the main issues I've had which were starting out with a killer first level as well as in the first level dying and then having to wait for him to give his whole speach again before I could continue.
Great stuff.
That's definitely not our top priority, because we're not willing to do it. It's a VERY long work and we're all ****** off working on this mod for the moment. No past time or hobbies since january.
I understand, but regardless of when it gets done, English voice acting should definitely be high up on the priority list. The use of synthesized voices really diminishes the dialogue, ruining otherwise funny jokes or morbid dialogue. Most players have to put on subtitles just so they don't have to use all their concentration trying to understand the broken, mispronounced words and sentences. Adding native English voice acting would almost certainly make this mod seem more professional in many gamers' minds.
Yes, we're not stupid, we know about all this, believe me. But still, that's not our priority. Try to work non-stop on the same project during 9 months, you'll understand what I mean.
It's not that you have to do it, but simply make the time to find other actors to do the Voice acting, simply said thats how any game development team does it.
Of course we wouldn't do it ourselves.
And still, I don't have the time to manage a team of voice actors, tell them what to do, give feedback, redo EVERY choreography inside this CRAPPY faceposer, redo EVERY lipsyncing, etc. As I already said it, I'm ****** off right now. Need a break.
Maybe someone from the english speaking community can translate the dialogue into better english. Maybe it would at least temporarily fix the issue.
Seriously, give him a break, he's already said he's NOT doing it!!
Wohoooo! Downloading now!
man i already played thru this mod and its excellent!
Cool, maybe now I'll be able to get past the second level, ha ha.
So, If I download this and update it, will it affect my current game? I'm still on Chamber 5...
bah some changes sux:
Radio music
golden,orange flizzar
and the cleaner behint the scenes
People complained about the commercial tracks, people confused energy walls with regular fizzlers because of color and particles, and as the game is supposed to take place in the past, behind the scene areas should not look like it's abandonned since decades.
but plz the old music
I don't understand.
The radio music when the playery wake up and later when glados waht is this 4 a song?
I still don't understand what you mean. Try to write in a proper english, I'm not english, I can't understand slang.
so this SONG when you wake up in the relex chamber on the radio wasrs better before update
Wow, it messed up my save file...It loads, but the map is all screwed up...
Say Euros instead of dollars it's a bug?
It is not known the location of the comapany, it is known that it worked to the U.S Military, mas it could be in Europe, like Black Mesa is. In can be in Asia, as far as I'm concerned.
Hum, you're are totally wrong.
First, Black Mesa is in New Mexico, USA. We're talking about the REAL Black Mesa of Half-Life 1, not the little replacement labs of Half-Life 2. Then, Aperture Science is competing with Black Mesa for government's funds, thus it must be in the USA. Plus, they have relations with the president Eisenhower, thus they must be in the USA. And finally, euros were introduced in 2002, and the game is supposed to take place in 2001.
Right on. Theres so many people who play Portal that don't know crap about Half-life. You can tell who's new to gaming that way. :)
- Half-life Universe/Storyline fanatic
:S
Wow. Never learnd nothing this fast. :P
Sorry, now that I saw what you wrote, I realized that you're right.
Played the original Half-life plus the expansions (except Blue-Shift), played the sequel, and the two episodes. Loved the connection that is made between Portal and Half-life. And like [b]NullSoldier[/b] i'm a storyline fanatic to. :D
But i'm really easily distracted. (looking for another word, but my english some times fails me)
But this takes me to another question. What the hell was Borealis doing in the middle of the Artic Oncean? If you can answer me, do it with a comment on my profile. :)
snoozing man is not snoozing.
snoozing man is not snoozing.
snoozing man is not snoozing.
snoozing man is not snoozing.
snoozing man is not snoozing.
I very much enjoyed the mod :)
All I can say is the mod is completely done now.
