Hi Shard

It has now been 5 months since your last post.  In your last post you clarified that very little was achieved in the previous 6 months.

How have things been gong these last 5 months?  Any tangible progress?

Keep up the great work.

Thanks.

Hi Shard

Hope all is well on your end.

Could we please get an update on the: Lines finished: 3631 / 6649 (54.6%)?

Are there any specific blockers in the way atm?

Also, in terms of the additional dialogue you will add (e.g. as you run around), could you give us a little more info on that?

Who is writing it?
 
How are they going to ensure it doesn't feel like a bad fan fic? 

Are they going to try and splice in cut content (by reference to interviews and Ultimania's)?

How long after the release of the vanilla mod will the additional dialogue take?

I assume if you haven't scoped it out already it is going to take significantly longer to do, as you will need to get the cast members back again, rather than just tacking it onto the end of their existing work load.

That said, if the additional dialogue is most Squalls thoughts that does make it easier from a logistics/production stand point.

Also, do you think this will be done by Xmas?  I am going to Distant Worlds in November with the gf (30th Anniversary) and wanted to play this before hand with the mod, but not sure that will happen.

Anyhow, as always, thanks for the hard work!

Thanks for the update Shard.

I like Squall, not what I imagined and will need to hear him more to get used to him but I like it!

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the update Shard - thank you for sticking with this.

Don't worry about it taking time either - it can be really hard co-coordinating so many people on a volunteer basis hence why so many mods fall apart.  What is really needed to make it work is not just the talent but the patience of someone like yourself to keep coming back and pushing forward inch by inch.

Also, love the sound effects at the end of your latest update, gives more depth to the voice acting and better connects it back to the game we all know and love.

Can't wait to check back in a month or so and see who was cast as Squall and maybe a few months later for some samples - so important to nail his voice!

Good luck with it mate!

Thanks for the update Shard!

It is great to see you so optimistic about powering through this set back - I really feel for you, having to organise this and then having people drop out wasting time and the momentum you built up.

I have a few questions:

Did the Squall Voice Actor finish his lines?

Will there be some sort of effect over Squalls voice acting in regards to his internal thoughts? I.e will we be able to "hear" that they are thoughts?

I don't mean to tell you how to do your "job" but maybe it would be worth recruiting a single voice actor at a time and doing all their lines in isolation? Just so you can compartmentalize progress - which should prevent/limit any future waste and also make things easier for you to organise.  This would likely mean the whole process takes longer but would decrease the stress on you.
 
E.g. hiring an actor for Squall - recording all his lines intensively for 3 months and integrating into the game.

Finally, if things did, unfortunately, go wrong and the mod could not be finished - is it in such a state that everything you have done thus far could be released?

Anyhow - thanks for reading, I really appreciate your work on this and your positivity in not letting this set back defeat you - when I replay the game with your mod in it I will have to honour your efforts and rename one of the characters Shard (maybe Selphie? She is the optimistic one after all...).

Awesome work Shard and everyone else involved.

Thank you so much for doing this.  I really like the voice acting and the added touch of filters (e.g. when Squall is talking over the PA).  Waiting on the mod to replay for a 4th time with my GF (the other kind of GF) as she has not played it.

I have been watching this project since its inception and realised that the progression (percentage complete) has not gone up in a while, was wondering if there is a revised release, if so, when?

Don't mean to pressure you in any way as this is a massive project that takes a lot of time, effort and co-ordination.

Also side point: It would be awesome if you made a bloopers reel when you have finished the project, both for us on the forums but also for you and the voice actors to look back on fondly.

Once again, keep up the awesome work!
