Voice recording

I just got back from the voice recording we did for the Wii version of So Blonde. I was working with DTP (the publisher) and the talented guys at Outsource Media, who organised a great cast again and ran a great series of recording sessions that couldn't have gone any smoother if we'd wanted. If you want to see a really good voice recording system in operation you should get in contact with OM and tell Mark I sent you.

Everyone concerned was very complimentary about the script, which is always very flattering to hear, but the script would have been nothing without the talented cast who really brought the words to life. Bernie from DTP took some pictures and said it was okay to post a few of them here.

New/Old Monkey Island

They're re-making the original Monkey Island game:

I've seen some very mixed comments about the way this looks, but I think it looks pretty good. Not as good as if Bill Tiller had worked on the backgrounds, but very faithful to the original while bringing it a little more up to date.


There's also a new Monkey Island in the works from Telltale Games. It's an episodic series in the same vein as the Sam and Max series and Wallace and Gromit. Looks very promising and as some of the original creators are involved it could be just what the doctor ordered.
