At long last, we have the levels and script finalized for DROD 4, and it's time again for our forum tradition of Voice Auditions!
As you likely know, this game was originally titled "
Frogs and Mice"
but has been rethemed to be about Gunthro Budkin, Beethro's grandfather, and one of his notable adventures in Rasarus, taking part in a war between the nations of Rasarus and Tueno. It's intended to flesh out the world of the eighth and share some secrets about Beethro's family history. The upcoming game has a good-sized cast, nearly all of them original characters.
Since we don't want to spoil the plot, I'm only going to post some characters and some lines, and the Caravel Team will be shoulder-tapping people in a similar manner as happened for previous games and SmSs.
This post contains some sample lines to give you all something to work with. Feel free to audition for one or multiple characters.
This topic header has some tips about the kind of voice recordings we're after.
Post your audition files in this thread, preferably in a compressed format like MP3 so it's easier for people to download and listen to them.
If you are selected, you will be featured in the list of contributors and also
receive a free copy of the game when it is released!
