Takamo Universe will be a treat for the ears, as well as the eyes. Kevin North, our composer, has a number of great music pieces for the game. He continues to work out theme and ambient music for various aspects of the game back story, interfaces, races, etc. However, along with the development of the music are the voice over pieces that will give the game a greater sense of depth and ambiance.
This week we have been working with voice actors for the game. Howard Ellison, our main narrator, has been reviewing a new back story piece and discussing other possible character voices.
This lead to a search for a female voice actor and we have someone who should fit the bill nicely. In fact, we have a short voice sample for you. Give a listen and let us know what you think. Personally, I think it will be a great sci-fi voice.
We built a test animation a few weeks ago. It showed two Terran tugs catching up with a colony ship, docking, and guiding it toward a planet. The space and ship graphics were cool, but when we added the communications traffic voice over, BAM! It was awesome! We can’t wait to put it out as a teaser video. There is still some touch up work to do though, so we’ll keep you posted.
So what does this mean for players?
Takamo Universe will be filled with character voices, comm chatter, background music, theme music, a full suite of audio effects that will not only make the game enjoyable, but will truly immerse you in the Takamo Universe.
