There's no coincidence that yesterday marked the release of Portal and my lack of posting. Portal is brilliantly funny and has some of my favorite AI humor in it. It's quite short, so don't expect anything epic.

I was inspired to work on the Clockwork Man quest from the next act. There's an interesting text to speech demo over on the AT&T site. The result was this clip, which I'm fairly happy about.

I don't think our voice actors will be out of business any time soon. This approach only works well with robotic voices and it's pretty devoid of emotions. Still, for this little niche, it's fun and quick to do.

In terms of the current state of the project, I've passed along the latest build of the first and second modules to the testers, which Chris gratiously hosted. Dunniteowl sounds like he'd like to do some more voice acting for the project, and I have few roles still unvoiced. I'll hopefully get some Lord Brighton from Raphael once his cold clears up. Exciting stuff, all around.

As for me, I should probably be reviewing QA notes to make sure I didn't miss anything. I'm tempted to work on the next act, though, as a fun treat for myself. So far I've put together the skeleton of one of the modules. It needs areas, custom content, and a bunch of other things. No rest for the weary.
