lgpmichael Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Well, its taken me since Feb to do this, so 6 months, but finally, The Hole is code complete. All quests, locations, objects, dialog, all done. This does NOT mean it is ready for release, but it does mean I will be starting working on the voice acting as of now. I'll be posting requests for voice actors here and other places (eg VAG) for those who may wish to help over the next few days, I need to do some stats gathering though first, so I can work out how many lines each race and gender have. I'll confess I have cut out two minor sidequests. I looked at the basic ideas, and it seemed like I was just trying to force in sidequests at every single moment that there wasn't something going on, and it felt artificial. So, I cut them. The final package contains: 20 hours of gameplay to cover all branches and sidequests2 new worldspaces15 new and very complex and original dungeons1 new village35 more indoor areas that aren't dungeons, but are not just cosmetic scenery300 scripts (averaging around 100 lines of script, so at a guess, somewhere around 30,000 lines of script code, not including dialog based scripts)200 AI packages2,500+ lines of dialog8 new major NPC's and large changes to a dozen existing NPCs Its current status:Main quest, primary branch: CompleteMain quest: Secondary branch: CompleteMain quest: Primary Branch secondary split: CompleteSidequest 1: CompleteSidequest 2: CompleteSidequest 3: CompleteSidequest 4: Complete New Artwork: 15 pieces required, 6.5 complete, one promised, leaving 7.5 needed. PLEASE contact me if you are a modeller who can help!Voice Acting: None yet, around 2,500 lines expected to be needed. Volunteers gratefully accepted. All races and genders needed.Beta Testing: Expected to begin in about 3-5 weeks, I will ask for volunteers just before it starts. The last sidequest can be approached from two directions, and each one is a fully fleshed out minor story. It involves a threat to the empire, and to one family in particular, who are having a very very bad day. Here is the screenshot from the last sidequest, a head on a pedestal: http://www.toomanysites.org/screenie6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgpmichael Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 To try and get a bit more interest in the project, I have decided to put up a bit of background. I have been hoping to avoid this, as the best way to play the mod is to know nothing about it when you start it, as it is a mystery mod more than anything else, but I don't think that that will work to get people involved for those parts that need someone else to do. So, with no further ado, here is a basic webpage I threw together to give people a bit of background infromation The Hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgpmichael Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 OK, so on to the voice acting. I'm hoping that some people out there will be interested, so, here is what is needed: Argonian Female: 214 linesArgonian Male 303 linesBreton Male 234 linesHigh Elf Female 226 linesHigh Elf Male 313 linesImperial Female 252 linesImperial Male 295 linesNord Female 275 linesNord Male 376 linesRedguard Female 139 linesRedguard Male 232 lines I know this is a lot of lines, but I think the mod is worth it. Anyone who volunteers, and submits their lines, will get credit (obviously) and advance access to the mod, my undying gratitude, and a small kitten. One of those may be a lie {:-) Send me a message on here if you want to be involved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alonsomartinez Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) I *hear* that Tesalliance has a voice acting guild. http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif Edited August 15, 2011 by alonsomartinez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgpmichael Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 I *hear* that Tesalliance has a voice acting guild. http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/thumbsup.gif Yup, I posted to there too. Crossing fingers. Im considering releasing the first three levels of the first mission, and letting people see the quality of the mod, as that has no requirement for new graphics and very little voice acting... And it has some fairly impressive puzzles to solve that I think will catch some attention... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
