Hi Thomas,
I would like to make a small suggestion for Mota, if I may. I appreciate the
convenience of using synthetic speech while the game is in intensive
development (e.g. when you have a million things changing from day to day),
but in my mind you make a much more professional impression
I tend to agree with you Philip, but the problem is that professional voice
talent is hardly inexpensive. The lady who does the actual Angela sound
clips charged a considerable amount just for doing those clips. It would
cost even more for actual speech of the sort you're thinking of. I agree
Hi Bryan,
A valid point indeed, and one which I certainly considered before I decided
to hire voice actors for all of my games; except for the parts I can do here
in my own studio. I feel, however, that the chances of a purchase increase

Hi Bryan,
Again, these are all factors that must be taken into consideration. I do not
know any of the underlying circumstances, I was refering merely to the game

Not only that, but if the game is one in an entire series of games

This is very true. This is why I decided to stop bothering with it at all
