I appreciate all the ideas, though I’m getting to the point where I’m fairly happy with the overall structure and changelist. I’m continually implementing small changes as they come, but If V1 of the project is going to get released any time soon, I’ll need to start finalizing the changes that are already made. That isn’t to say that radical ideas are unwelcome, but I probably won’t include any more in this release.
To that end, the biggest changes to be made are now the instances of voice acting. There are several scenes so far that need voice work:
Male Stormtrooper (TR-8R) - Finn’s fight scene on Takodana - Several lines establishing the trooper’s history with Finn and his mercy when ordered to bring him in, now turned to betrayal as Finn has taken up arms against his comrades. Intended to reveal the fanaticism of the average trooper while retaining the humanity which remains buried under decades of violent programming.
Resistance Officer (any gender)(off-screen) - Resistance Starkiller Briefing - One line to replace Snap’s muffled line ‘Any word from the Republic?’, to which Leia replies ‘No’.
Female First Order Officer - 15 minute Starkiller update - One line changed from ‘Weapon charged in 15 minutes’ to ‘Silent alarm triggered in area 47’ to show that Phasma still retains some loyalty to the First Order.
I like your idea about the Hosnian system, so:
Female First Order Officer - Weapon charging shot - change line from ‘weapon charging’ to ‘Targeting Hosnian system’ or add new line from off-screen to that effect.
JEDIT: The Hosnian system could be mentioned in the Starkiller briefing: ‘Any word from the Hosnian Senate?’ 3PO’s ‘Without the Republic fleet we’re doomed!’ line would clarify that this is referring to the the Republic itself.
I have no experience with voice work, so I need to reach out to people in the community who wouldn’t mind helping out in this regard but I really don’t know where to start. If anyone has any ideas or thinks they could do these lines, please let me know!
