Title: Dust: An Elysian Tail - My big project
Post by: D-Mac on August 13, 2012, 05:30:31 am
This consumed my life over much of the past 15 months. I don't voice any characters myself, but was tasked with casting and directing 40 actors, through 1700 lines of dialogue. The end result was 3 hours worth of vocals.
Also, this is quite probably the first video game in history to feature a "special thanks to the Samurai Pizza Cats" in its end credits. ;)

The game was entirely programmed, drawn and animated by Dean Dodrill, who previously animated the cutscenes for Jazz Jackrabbit 2.

I've played the Demo, and so far I am very, very impressed.
As soon as I get back home next week, I'll be stopping by Best Buy for a 1600 point card to download this puppy & keep playing.
So far D-Mac, the talent of the actors, and your direction sounds damn good. At the moment, I look forward to the rest of the game.  ;)

I'm currently beginning Chapter 2 in the game.
I've got to sat, so far I'm loving it.

The voices all sound great, the art is beautiful, the music is a treat, and the story has me wondering where it'll lead.
I look forward to playing this game some more this week. ^_^
