awhile ago, I whipped out my copy of Alpha Centauri, the great turn-based game, and I realised that one of its coolest features was whenever you researched something, you got a really cool sound file of some random person telling you about it. there is nothing quite like having some random old dude tell you about synthetic oil, now is there?
now, I was thinking, if we can gather enough voice actors to a record a file for each research proposal and result in UFO, respectively, It would massively boost the games atmosphere. finding voice actors for each of scientists and such would be kind of difficult, not to mention trying to find a full cast for each of the different languages games available in but, the overall result would be a much deeper feel the game which draws the player in and keeps them hooked. I think, if we could spare the time and the resources, this should definitely be on TODO list.
I would volunteer my voice, but, due to the fact only sixteen, I doubt my voice is very suitable, but I'm sure we can find some people to fill the jobs.
then again, I could always just lower the pitch, that seems to work quite well... but, no one's interested in hearing me speak, are they?
