There Came An Echo

I’m working on a video game this week, called There Came An Echo. It looks amazing, the story is fantastic, and cast is pretty great (if I do say so myself).

Here’s a little spoiler, with some of the dialog I recorded yesterday:

    1. I’d highly recommend the movie “I Know That Voice”. It’s about voiceover for animation, but they touch on video games too. There’s a surprising amount of complexity to the process.

  5. Hi Wil, When I get your Blog notifications via Gmail I get the following message:

    Report this suspicious message Ignore, I trust this message

    I of course click I trust this message, but the last few months this has come up every time.

  6. Hi Wil! I hope one of your voice actors is Arnold Schwarzenegger; “Goddammit!” and “Sweet!” would be awesome phrases for him to emote in a game. Just kidding, I’m sure whoever you got to do voices in this game will be great!

  8. This reminded me about the EQ2 work you did. I used to go over to where the characters hang around just to visit them. When they revamped the zones a while ago, all those NPCs got dropped. I was sad when I realized it.

    1. didn’t know Wil did EQ2 voices – where were the characters? /fond memories of that game

  9. I wondered when we’d see something about this ever since the post on the PS Blog about it – the word is, it’s meant to be very story and character heavy, so a lot of work for you I’d imagine. A voice controlled strategy game could be a winner, if they can nail the voice controls down – they’ve always been a little dodgy and dependent on it recognising certain accents.

    Reaching back to the original article from one of the developers, the post was:
    “We couldn’t be more excited to work with this incredible pool of talent. Well, maybe we could be, if they promise to bring Oreos to the recording sessions later this year. (Wil, I know you’re reading this. Seriously. Bring them.)”

    So, did you bring the Oreos?

  10. I wonder if Iridium Studios and Firaxis share space. I wasn’t 100% sure during the live stream but I think the horse-headed gentleman looked familiar.

  12. :laughs: Ibobeque. Very true.

    Wil, this looks wicked cool. Keep us posted. I agree with Shandygirl, for “We can do emotion time later.”As a T-Shirt logo. .

  13. There are so very many ways that you could pronounce that first line (based on context) that would change its meaning completely. Good luck, sir.
