Hi,
The game will eventually feature human speech, but because it takes more
time to create these voice files, I just convert SAPI 5 TTS into wave-files
to save some time. I will not link in with SAPI if it is not necessary.

if you are just going to use sapi why not just link the thing in to sapi5
directly and not use these voice waves.
ok its unrealistic but if you are intent on using sapi5 then I thought it
could be better doing this and smaller to.
ofcause some have issues with sapi could not play the thing.
yeah when you have a voice then cool.
I have loads of time to do something for this project.

Are you going to have mouse support for the game?

Well, that depends. If the player is able to control the wing thrusters of
his/her fighter as well as the main engine seperately, then mouse support
would be difficult. However, if the player just uses the arrow keys to
control the fighter much like you control cars in Top Speed, then mouse
support is indeed a cool feature to add. We'll see how development comes
along. This determines the game's controls for a great deal.

I may be able to help with voiceovers etc for this.

Thanks for offering your help! For now, I will be using SAPI 5 voices,
because I can easily create wave-files out of text with a little tool that
a friend of mine created. This speeds up development, as I don't have to
record and edit my own voice. So the game runs entirely on wave-sounds,
but still it is too early to find the real voice for this project.
However, I will certainly keep your kind offer in mind.

I'd certainly love to help test this. This is actually something I'm
looking forward to getting my hands on.

I will stick to MP3 demos for the time being as everything that is created
is just a seperate part. If you could start up your fighter and control
the engines, you would probably not be able to fly somewhere, even with
the engines running at a 100%. But as soon as parts are linked together
and something playable comes out, I will either select a few private beta
testers or release a public beta. This will take a few months, though.
And of course I want to thank everybody for all the helpful messages they
sent me. I do appreciate them very much! Thanks for the support!
Regards,
Davy
