Hi Michael, Its simple. I don't have hundreds of dollars in cash laying around to put twards professional acting and high quality voice overs and naration. Something like Sapi is the most affordable and simple solution to that problem. Otherwise I'd have to stick to a text only format which I personally think is an even worse solution, or at least isn't any better.
So here is the deal. Its one thing to sit back and complain about not having human actors, but are you willing to finance the project? Are you willing to put your money where your mouth is and put up however much money it costs to higher human actors to do dialogs, cutscenes, and make the game mainstream quality? That is in my opinion where the rubber meets the road so to speak. If I don't have the money to higher actors and no one is personally willing to put up a few hundred to do the game justice then my only recourse is to make it the most cost effective as I can. If it means using Sapi for narations that is the best I can do on my limited budget. Its a case of put up the money or shut up about the quality.
