Thank you for trying it out. Can I check what browser you used, I have noticed Microsoft Edge’s speech recognition is really cumbersome and unreliable, it works much better in Google Chrome (and does not work at all in Firefox). Also, where in the world is your accent from?

I was playing on Chrome, and speaking with a Midwestern American accent. Hope that helps!

Thanks, by itself no but in addition to the other feedback it definitely does. It can only be 1 of 2 things, either it didn’t understand you or it shut off listening. I think it may be the latter.

It’s in dev freeze for voting now (and tbh framerate is a bigger issue) but if you are keen to play it and see the whole game you can reset the mic by walking away from the NPC you are talking to and returning, you don’t need to go far - just far enough for the on screen options to disappear.

I believe that Chrome is shutting off listening if it doesn’t hear any clear words for a period of time, which is a nice undocumented feature to find out after the coding window :)

The browser microphone indicator in the address bar should switch off if this theory is right, I suppose the game ought to show this on screen clearly somewhere but it doesn’t because: I didn’t know; and because its a 1 month jam and there’s lots of things I didn’t do that I would have liked to! (I had planned a final encounter with a pregnant Johnny Silverhand where you had to take him down without hurting the baby so V could get her - now pregnant - body back…), but I only got as far as making the displacement map for V’s tummy.
