Latest Updates

  • Current project status (07.11.2020)

    Dear all, Once again, thank you so much for auditioning to this project! More and more auditions keep coming everyday. In fact, there are so many that the delays to reply to each one of you starts to get a bit longer. This is mainly due to the fact that I prefer contacting some of you one by one instead of sending lots of messages to everyone at the same time for the same role, which would be an issue if someone agrees to take the role while some others didn't reply yet. Each audition is being examined on the first day of their submission, and I am willing to comment on each of your posts. So please bear with me while I reach back to you. However, it can happen that despite the long delays, I still contact some of you rapidly as I consider your audition to be excellent (that is to say, xlr microphone with clean background noise and no , and good acting). Sadly though, I also have to eliminate lots of your auditions due to poor recording quality (background noise, bad "voice capturing", too many or even if, unfortunately, the lines sound too little alive due to the focus on reading them). It is important for this project to have a microphone and a recording quality that is clean to a minimum as these will become part of the Remake. So far, seven voice actors were casted, three of whom have already delivered their lines. A few of them might also be needed for another voice acting commission once the Remake reaches a certain milestone. All voice actors will be credited in the Credits menu which contains their name and a redirection link to a URL of their choice. Upon certain milestones reached, it is also possible to send recordings of the Remake where their voice is being used. Development-wise, the Remake is still progressing at a very high speed and already contains some recorded lines. The most recent works are the Colony management screen, the Europe screen and Advisers notifications + custom font system. I will keep you updated about your auditions and I hope to be working with some of you soon, as long as I can keep affording your amazing services. On that regard, I am also investing as much as I can by doing some extra paid works. However, those are way too random / too rare and for such reason aren't a solid income in any way. Keep in mind that I am doing my best to suggest a fair exchange between the both of us, although an example of a price rate of 0.25USD per word (250USD / 1000words) is way too big for me considering the amount of words I need and also the fact that I do not have any fixed salary due to Covid-19. See you soon! :D Nao,
  • Voice actor auditions status

    Hello and thank you for auditioning / following this project! First of all, a word about the development of the game. The Remake is receiving all my attention lately and a lot of progress is being done. The current version is already playable although lots of things still need to be polished and implemented of course. I am working alone on this project so obviously it's taking a bit of time, but I feel like the project might be completed entirely be the end of December (possibly). About the production and voice actor, a few roles have been attributed to some voice actors already. Thank you for participating in this great adventure and my apologies to those who haven't been selected. But worry not, a lot of other roles still don't have any voice actor selected yet (but this doesn't mean the current applications aren't good to me). I still require just a bit of time to get in touch with more of you and I also need to think of my budget. In fact, I have been securing the current expenses by finding some extra income irl just to cover the voice acting commissions. And I will keep doing this just to make sure I can offer some of you to participate in this video game by giving your voice to it. The most difficult choice will be the Male Adviser 1 as a lot of you applied for this character, and it does have a lot of lines. There are several auditions that I really like and I am currently asking some friends which one of your auditions would sound the best for this role. More lines also means a more important budget to invest in this character, hence the reason why I first commissioned smaller characters to begin with. I'm just asking you for a bit more patience as I go through the whole behind-the-scene production process. Finally, I will soon be opening 4 new roles that were missing until now: - Spanish Leader - Netherlands Leader - English Leader - Religious adviser This means that if any of you didn't get selected for the current roles, you will be able to apply for the new ones instead! :) As a sidenote, I have decided to remove the Spy Adviser of the current version of the Remake. It is not impossible that I bring him back some day, but I also do not really need this role for now. My apologies for the two of you who auditioned for this character. Lastly, I will soon open a Discord server about the remake of this game in which we can speak freely about anything and also about your auditions. It would be great if you want to join us... or "me"... as obviously, it'll be quite empty to begin with! I'll be sharing lots of work-in-progress footage that might also include some of your final commissioned deliveries :) Until then, have a great day/evening! Yours, Nao#7800 (do not hesitate to message me on Discord if need be)
