Hi jim.
Well i suppose if you've sort of got a mental picture of games with 80's
graphics even when your making audio games that makes sense, however for
myself sinse audio games don't have graphics, I don't think of them as
graphical, ----- well there are my coloured synaesthesic impressions of in
game objects, but that's a little different.
Just as ytou wouldn't have a synth voice playing a human character in an
audio drama, to me the same rule applies in a game.
For status info, game menues etc synth is fine, sinse that's just extra
info, but for atmosphere and characterization I'd always go with a human.
In fact Jim this is sort of what you did in your games featuring homer
simpson. You've stuck in phrases like "you dbig dumb balling ape" etc, to
make the character realistic, where as you've stuck to sapi just for things
like in game instructions and data, even if you didn't do this for some of
your other titles.
Hope this makes sense.
Eitherway it does seem a shame to me to miss out on a game because it uses
synths or sapi, and I'd certainly not refrain from playing a game just
because of that.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Subject: [Audyssey] Hi Dark
I don't know, for some reason hearing the same human speech over and over
in a game bothers me. But hearing the same sapi5 voice over and over does
not.
Now if I had sight and saw a human on the screen, I would expect to hear
human speech. But when I had sight, nothing on the screen looked anything
like a human.

The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some darned good
ideas!
