Alright, grammar check. :) Just a couple ones that seem off to me...

"Are you such a specialist?" sounds a bit odd, though not really gramatically wrong, maybe "Are you really that good?" or "You're a real specialist aren't you?"
"Have you seen?" > "You see?"

Busy week here as well, as always lately. Hope the presentation went well!

Cyberdevil 2020-09-06 10:44:32

Aha, in that case "You're a real specialist aren't you?" should work with that tone too. XD

Yupp, it'd be a more natural way to ask for affirmation. "Have you seen" is more like the start of a question, for example "Have you seen the apocalypse?"

Ah yeah I've been thinking about that too. It's not just work but just a lot of household things lately, calling around regarding the car, going through storage, picking apples, packing, trying to sell off some stuff, time runs off too fast sometimes!

Hope things get back to a more reasonable pace for all of us soon. :)

This scene's got all the events it needs; just some corrections:

Keni: "Look carefully -> "Watch carefully/Watch and learn." (Nothing wrong with Look, but when somebody goes to demonstrate something, I find they often say watch more.)

Rash: "I will always be by your side" -> "I've always been on your side." (Given Keni and Rash's friendship, I feel it's good to give a reminder that there is a reason Keni had trusted Rash at least up until now, especially since he is generally apathetic to everyone else.)

OK, this scene approved!
I already sent the dialogue scripts to the crew (Zip, Mazurek and Plasmarift).

In 'Reduce 2 - Pass of Time' the voice is given by:
- Zip to Zip,
- Mazurek to Mazurek,
- Plasmarift to Mejson, Keni, Rash and Havoc.

Mazurek has already recorded and he did it great! I look forward to seeing the others. :)

As you probably noticed, we don't have too many voice actors... and the new characters (which will appear in Reduce 3) will not be recorded by Plasmarift (he take enough)... that's why I think we need to think about expanding our team in the future. What do you think about it? @Cyberdevil, in a year you can think of someone new, because so far that's not a problem. :)

Cyberdevil 2020-09-07 05:46:31

Nice. :) New voice acting talents hmm... I'll keep an eye out. Would've suggested Plasmarift if he wasn't here already. :P

Can definitely do some more too if needed.

Cyberdevil 2020-09-07 11:03:17

Advanced voice timber changing may require some more practice indeed. :) He's a pro! Impressive as friend or foe (in the voice acting show). Just so you know the option's there! Should be stumbling into more people later this fall.

Cyberdevil 2020-09-08 06:27:50

Yeah that's an option too of course! Seemed earlier like you wanted to do that kind of editing for each one? Hehe, or possibly the secret ingredient's just: great talent. :)

Possibly. :) If I get more time I'd like to jump in on more VA stuff too later one, it's a quicker way to get involved with things than to really animate, program etc. And fun! :D

Yupp. Do you check the collabinator or collab forum at all btw? If not there's always a lot of offers there.

Cyberdevil 2020-09-08 09:28:48

Haha yeah, time's an issue for all of us it seems. :P I'll jump into that recruiter role in a bit then, soon as I get back. Was meaning to ask btw, are you looking for both male/female VAs this time around? Just male?

Cyberdevil 2020-09-08 09:29:18

And yes, small VA roles on all kinds of projects I hope. :) It's easy fun.

Cyberdevil 2020-09-08 11:44:17

For sure, I know how much time animation takes from experience too, so props on that. :) It's one of the reasons I stopped. Music's a bit quicker. But probably my main interest either way. Anyway...

Thank you thank you. :) And indeed, custom character inclusion's the greatest honor you can get!!

Design-wise? Personality-wise? It'd be interesting to mix, but I was thinking it'd probably just be male. Gotcha.

Cyberdevil 2020-09-08 18:16:15

Hmm TomFulp as a VA for the next part maybe? ;) Let's see how famous people we can get onboard...

:)

Cyberdevil 2020-09-09 06:55:54

Unfortunately don't know him personally no. :) He jumps in on NG-related things occasionally, no matter how small, but yeah it'd probably be a stretch to get him on this. You never know though!

That's awesome. :) I think he's commented on one of my newsposts ONCE, when I was reminiscing on my tenth year anniversary here, but otherwise I try to not bother him too much, he seems to interact with people almost too much for his own good sometimes, such a big job just to keep this site running, but it's really one of the reasons I love this place, that he's still so passionate about the community; takes time to speak to everyone if he has the time. As far as I know everyone on NG staff is is self-isolating right now, they still have recommended quarantine in the US, been wonder if it's impacting their work with the site or not. Maybe he's just knee-deep in the latest Behemoth game though, Nightmare Cops, it's been a work in progress for a few years now. A bit of a joke yeah. ;) But might not be impossible to get some really well-known people in otherwise, if they have simple lines, we shall see...

Also missed responding to the first bit in the previous message: it's a good thing we all have our individual strengths too! A complement on all our different crafts.

Cyberdevil 2020-09-09 12:37:29

Alright, it'll save him some time then too. :)

lol yeah, though articles? Reviews, submissions, something else...? I guess I didn't have the best reputation here back in the day. :P Too efficient but not too thorough.

Ahh he's a friend of mine here! :D I've known him a few years now, haven't worked with him per se but we've spoken a lot. He spent last year/winter in the army, and recently came back; hopes to focus on making art and creative pursuits overall. I'd vouch for him. As for how he is to work with though I have no idea. If he meets deadlines and such. Would have to find out. :)

Cyberdevil 2020-09-09 12:38:44

Seems like a good person overall but that's all I know really.

Cyberdevil 2020-09-10 05:41:06

Ah that's a shame, thought he was the one that reached out to you. :/ Oh well. Not easy to make it in the creative world if you want to make a living this way for sure.

Cyberdevil 2020-09-23 05:53:26

Too true!
