Game Voice Packs

by Brian Rollins · 09/16/2013 (2:01 pm) · 4 comments

A concept I've been kicking around for a few months now is build ready-to-use voice packs for games. These packs would include prompts from one particular character voice and could be used for an RPG, RTS, or FPS.

These are the prompts I've put together for a fantasy game (RPG/RTS)

Battle Start
Battle Won
Cannot Carry
Cannot Open
Cannot Move to Spot
Cannot Use
Charge Up
Critical Hit
Critical Miss
Discovering Wonder
Distraught
Dungeon Cleared
Entering Dungeon
Found Loot
Idle
Join Party
Level Gained
Use Item
General Affirmatives
General Negatives
General Questions
Class Specifics
Effected
Injured
Death
Greetings
Farewells

Each character would have several takes from each prompt and would fit their class (Fighter/Ranger/Thief/etc).

Is this something that's a valuable tool for developers?

Sounds like a great idea! If I were to begin building a game I'd buy a pack like this right away! (Unfortunately I'm more in to the add-on business atm, but hey who knows if I will have some time on my hands when this is released!)

Wow, I didn't realize anyone had responded.

I'm putting the packs together now. Two out of six are recorded. What store do you guys prefer? I've been told to put these up on Unity 3D's asset store. Are there other storefronts you'd recommend? Amazon?
