      @SEGSnews Před 6 dny +376

      Real horror is made in atmosphere. If your game isn’t good without jump scares, you’re relying on cheap tricks to carry what’s most likely a sub-par game at best. Some of the best horror has little to no jump scares.

      @@SEGSnewsdifferent types of people like different types of horror, and if you play a lot of horror games you may grow numb to things like jumpscares OR some atmospheric elements. i’m a big horror nerd and i love an atmospheric horror game, but unironically jumpscare-based horror scares me more because i don’t play it so i don’t have the tolerance for it.
      in a similar vein, giving the option to remove jumpscares can be entirely because some people really cannot handle the feeling of being startled from a jumpscare so they will not even touch the game if its in there, even if they like horror. it’s not inherently cheap, it’s just that most jumpscares fall into the equivalent of “shaky png appears on screen”. don’t write off a classic horror trope simply because it gets used a lot. it clearly is a form of horror that scares a lot of people, and a good jumpscare can take just as much effort as good atmosphere.

      @@frog_goblin It's definitely a mixed bag overall, I think for sure though that atmosphere is considerably more vital in a game being scary, and sometimes the atmosphere is what makes the jumpscares scary in the first place, I think i'm kind of on the opposite side with jumpscares doing little to nothing to me, unless they're built up well.

      Wow, what riveting gameplay... -.-
      You win nothing, and lose nothing... And there's nothing to be scared of either, because the "scary" stuff is on a strict timer... It's hardly even a game.
      It's not like if you lose you'll jump, because the lose sequence is the same every time, and arrives on time, like clockwork.... There's no spontaneity, nothing engaging, no immersion... nothing.

    Hi! I’m a voice actor! Most of us LOVE to act, it’s why we do what we do. Yes, we’d like to be compensated for our time on projects that will actually come out. My biggest advice for starting game devs: make adding VA’s the last step before you release your game!
    Most people don’t realize how much work adding voices is but it really takes your content to the next level of your game if you get good enough actors. That being said, the amount of times people add voices early and then the project never sees the light of day is TOO NUMEROUS TO COUNT. Don’t drag along VAs until your content is 99.9% finished.
    Thanks!❤

    • @AnOrdinaryBear
      @AnOrdinaryBear Před 5 dny +75

      To add to your point how much VA's can add, remember that Disco Elysium released without full voice acting at one point. the game went from an 8/10 to a 10/10 just by patching in full VA. Not just adding voice acting, but GOOD voice acting.

      @@hades_town exactly! It’s for this reason that a lot of VA now have trust issues, tbh. It might not seem like a big deal to fans on the outside, but that the time/effort we put into a project=money for us, and then when those projects come out, that’s another project on our resume/portfolios. When we put forth time and effort into a project, even if we are paid, and it doesn’t come out, we’re actually losing money.

    2:30 it's a minor thing, but it's super refreshing to see someone play a game and actually pay attention to it so much so that they verbally recap it. I imagine part of it has to do with coming back to making videos after over a year of primarily working on the movie, but eitherway it's just refreshing because it's not uncommon that even youtubers who I'd consider on the more attentive/competent side of things have their eyes completely glaze over meanwhile the game is basically screaming "HEY, TO NOT DIE, PRESS THE G KEY" only for them to die 5 seconds later confused.

Like if that information was just a text scrawl at the beginning, I think most people would have glossed over it. And the developer didn't put too much at once.

I noticed that the font used for ”FLATHEAD” is similar to, or maybe even the same, as the font that the band radiohead have used for their logos in the past, an example being on the cover for their record ”the bends”. As i thought about this I also realised that the guy sitting to the right in your game also resembles the dummy thats featured on that same album cover, the bends by radiohead. Both of them also look up which I thought was interesting and eerily similar. I’m wondering if you were inspired by radioheads imagery when coming up with the aestethics for this game?

    The VA conversation was fantastic. Reminds me of the comments Erica Lindbeck made when someone did an AI of her voice and she actively said she would have happily discussed doing some lines for the project if they had approached her. But the choice to favour AI first and not even ask her she found greatly disappointing, as it illustrated some people will take convenience over reaching out, and she felt like hearing her own voice in a project that devoid of her involvement felt... unnerving and haunting.
    It's something we tend to overlook, or undervalue, especial if we look up to these VAs. Of all the games to hear this topic, was not expecting it here.

    Actor of 25 years here who has dabbled in voice acting. I am often pained to hear subpar voice acting in games. I'm always super keen to provide great, immersive voice work for games but alas the chances are often afar and few between for me. Quality voice acting can really, really enhance a game.

      I love hearing a real voice actor even more now that people have started using AI “voice acting” in games. It sounds lifeless at best and the line reads often have incorrect/unnatural inflection :( Good luck and I hope people start realizing how valuable your skills really are

      @@Halucygeno I'd imagine you would be more likely to find better VAs for money, but I use Casting Call Club and have had some pretty decent VAs audition for my projects that are unpaid, so there are free options (but again, paid work probably does give a better guarantee for the most part that the actor will be really good)

      Absolutely true. I HATE to start a game I’m really excited for or I read the plot and seems like something I’d be into…only for it to be ruined by awful voice actors. Smh. There’s been times where I’ve just put it aside and played anyways and other times where it’s such a crucial part of the character development that u just can’t continue.

    If you need an Spanish (from Spain) male voice actor, 25 years old, contact me by replying to this comment.
    I don't have professional experience in the trade, but I always DM in Dungeons and Dragons games, and was the broadcaster for the school radio time ago.

Being casted in an Indi game is a great way to show you can do veidogame work and character work and can help give you a in to that part of the industry. You should not talk if you don't know. A lot of beginner professionals get gigs in promo and freelance in things that isn't the field of voice acting they want.
