I've been helping out somebody with a video game and I have volunteered to do some voices. It's really exciting to be part of this project even though it's also going to be hard for me. If you have read any of my earlier posts you know that I don't like talking in the present of my parents. They are... not as easy going and treat me like a child in some ways. I hate that. I really do. The problem is that I can't come up with a response fast enough before one of them interrupts, mostly my mother, and I have to come up with another response depending on what they said. Ugh...

I have two primary roles now, Geo, the main character, and his mentor, Pendant. (Who happens to be... a communication device?) It's a real pleasure doing both characters since they are the core of the story.  I'm working on the first one right now. The project leader and game programmer, Hepolite, and the writer, ontels, (usernames on the fourms) are having some slight trouble communicating with each other. That happens. I also had to do the lines for Geo several times just to get it right. That happens too. Right now I haven't got a clue what the storyline is and I won't tell you either. As soon as it gets quiet... and get my homework out of the way. (Another English essay...whoopie...) I'll get back to working on it.

I'm positioned to play this mentor character but since there are barely any other voice actors working on the game I may have to do more than one character. I think I got a good one for the antagonist or bad guy. Just imagine someone talking while at the same time sounding like he's hacking up something...

The writer didn't approve of my voice acting for Pendant. He didn't wish for the character to sound like an electronic like voice so that much is clear. I still have Geo to voice so I'm still on board. I also have done some testing of an early beta sent to me today by Hepolite so I could find any bugs present. I'm not surprised that there were some. The way the enemies behaved was amusing at one point when they try to pile up on Geo. Here's a screenshot of it:

The animation is nothing impressive to look at but that will be fixed. A guy named PoloDewen on YouTube volunteered to help with this area and possibly will do some modeling as well. He has been doing animation with Blender 4 for 2 years and has done dragons before... in fact it's his hobby. He's obviously a Spyro and Cynder fanatic since he has made similar fan made characters.

I wonder where this story will lead... I'm still left in the dark about the whole thing so I have no idea what to expect. That's ok though; I like surprises and if someone tries to make me squeal I can't give them a straight answer about it.
