[WIP] Lucid

[CarnivorousJelly]

I was hoping to have something glamorous for the update, but instead I just have a small announcement: A very pivotal plot-point is going to require some voice acting, so I have started writing up a script. I'll post it here for download when it's complete for anyone interested in helping.

I can't say much because I don't want to spoil the plot, so here I go:

Spoiler below!

Necessary characters:
Without these voice actors, Microsoft Sam is going to butcher the game

• Female, age and accent are unimportant
  
• Male 1, same as above - Student
  
• Male 2, same as above - Student
  
• (Male 3)* same as above
  
• (Male 4)* same as above
  
• Male 5, adult voice, accent unimportant - Headmaster
  

* If Male 1 and 2 can speak with 2 different voices, 3 and 4 are unnecessary

I would do the only female voice to limit the number of people required, but I have a terrible mic and I choke up when I'm nervous.

Also, I'm really sorry for the lack of female characters (this failed the Bechdel Test :P), the player doesn't directly interact with other human beings. Instead, he hears people - students mainly - from the academy who lived centuries before he did. Due to the time which these students came from and the beliefs about women and education at the time, female students would be improbable.

... it'll make more sense when I'm not trying to conceal spoilers

Not-Vital but Really, Really Useful Part(s):
If I get really generic, I can solve these issues through notes, but not many people read the written parts of custom stories. The other option would be Microsoft Sam, and that would sound absolutely terrifying (especially since I have no skill in editing Sammy's voice to sound more realistic).

• Person 1: Provides an introduction through multiple voice messages left on Peregrine's answering machine while the player wanders around the house in a half-conscious daze. No specific age, gender, or accent required

Sorry! I'll have a nice screenshot soon! I've been working away at my first outdoor area, so the Screenshot Criticism Thread will probably see it before this thread does :D
