motivation (or lack of)

Posted by tijitdamijit on Aug. 5, 2008, 5:15 a.m.

hmm.. now let's see. Facility B was supposed to be released next month, or at least that's what the trailer said.. but I haven't had the motivation to work on it much at all since I released it. I was on holidays for like 4 weeks, and I was like "yeah, ya know.. I'll do some tomorrow" and then my hols were over.

…whoops

So now, I have 26 days to complete a game which is supposed to already be in final playtesting stages.. well it's not going to happen. Expect, shall we say very late September.

The one thing I have done is some voice acting. A couple of people said the game would be more immersive if it contained vo in it, instead of the player just having to read the dialogue off the HUD. I've done a bunch of stuff, but I may need some more people, it would be a bit weird if every character in the game sounded the same.

Also, a question to anyone who has experience with this sorta thing: What's a good *free* program for editing voice clips.. I have Audacity and atm I've just slowed it down by about 10%… I also have Nero Wave editor and Sony Sound Forge, but both of these programs crash when I try to do anything with them.. I'll be lucky if they even open the file :O

Sound card driver issues I'd assume… but anyways back to the topic of this actual blog:

Motivate the shit out of me kthx. 'Scuse my "french" (as the saying goes), but unsavoury language seems to exercise a point better than caps lock.

Seriously guys, the quicker this game gets released the quicker you guys get to play it, obviously, so yeah.

Also, I'll just like to say in this blog that clan anticivilian has moved from gmclans to Roboquid… and kudos to Serr for baking such an oisome website(s).

You're probably overcompensating for something….

@Bryan: 170 cm at last count.

@Acid: k. no.

@Serprex: Agreed.

@Desertfox: hmm.. that's more like intimidation than motivation… but maybe I just need a gun to head to make this game? (SwordFish Style… that's a great movie)

@NightHawk: I bet I'm older

@SixWinged: My name is tijit da mijit.. obviously a reference to how short I am. Or, how short I was 4-5 years ago when I got that nick. I'm still a bit shorter than average, but I'd like to think I'm tall :P

People stop quoting me on that!

Anyways.. so like I'll code something, even if it's not facb and see if it gets me into the whiskey of things (lame pun) and then BAKE A GAME :D

A bit unrelated to this blog, but I'd like to compliment you on the user of effects in facility B. I haven't often gotten the opportunity to say that I really look forward to playing a 3D game made with Game Maker's native engine (due to the lack of those games :P), but about this one I can certainly say that. I hope this game will, apart from being great to play, will also inspire other people to push Game Maker to it's limits in 3D.

For editing voice clips I use WavePad. It works great for simple adjustements, it can make some nice voices :). Just play around with it and you'll find out ;).

@Jesper: Thanks for that ^^ I got the program and will have more of a play around with it later. Glad you're looking forward to the game.. and just to let ya know I've got into the 'spirit' of working on it again, so thanks guys for all your excellent motivation :P
