I love how detailed you were in addressing my questions, thank you for taking the time! Your production process is fascinating. I am especially taken with the idea that you trained AI on friends’ voices. You’re right, it does fit the world concept perfectly. And on top of that it’s actually good voice acting. Especially since I myself am an audiobook narrator outside of making games and livestreams, I am very surprised by how well AI was able to choose inspired line readings in the game. I used AI as well in my own project, as there are some non-gameplay-critical art elements throughout that I treated and then lightly photobashed after generating in Midjourney. It’s truly a different world we live in, and it’s very exciting for one-person bands like us because it lets us focus on what’s important for our projects!
Ah! 侍 always trips me up. In that case, your sign said exactly what it was supposed to. 侍禁止, “Samurai are forbidden,” or in short “no samurai.” I always confuse 侍 with 待 because they look very similar 😅
Haha I’m relieved to hear that it wasn’t me just missing something right in front of my face, and I’m glad I was able to help further identify the bug. Please keep me updated about the fix, because I’d really like to jump back in and continue!
