Continuing Voice and Sound Implementation

Added 2019-03-06 09:06:39 +0000 UTC

I have continued to add sound to Shinobu. Currently she now has all the sound lines for:

Headpats
Cheek kissing
Handholding
Scaring
Proximity
Cattail Interactions
Throwing
Wearing Hats
Polaroid Frame reactions

I am almost done with it I just need to add it to the last remaining behaviors like chopsticks.

The past few days I setup a cheap foley studio in my house to record more sounds for the game. Using a paper plate full of sugar, I recorded my fist rolling over it to produce "dirt footstep" sounds.

Similarly but with other materials, I made sounds for wood and tile footsteps. Together they were combined with a new floor region system to allow certain regions in my map to have different footstep sounds. This will be used for the house in the full build. I also recorded sounds for many of the interactive objects in the game like the polaroid camera and ripping up the photos. You can download and see a video of the new sounds below. Also there will be echo regions so sounds can echo in certain places. Useful for my canyon like map.

The release of v0.4 is coming up real soon with hardly a week left! The new voices, sounds, and music do seem to add depth to the environment and should hopefully provide a different experience when you play it.

There will be one last Beta release so you can debug the new Shinobu voice system as well as try out the new sounds. It should be released sometime this weekend. Soon after, the last teaser trailer video for v0.4 will be released. Make sure you subscribe to my YouTube to catch it early! https://www.youtube.com/user/mrhalholhel1900
