Dialogue & Voice Acting Showcase (Work in Progress)

I would perhaps zoom in a bit more so people can see the detail closer ( think Baldur’s Gate 3 or Witcher 3 )

Feedback is always appreciated! 🤗

Credits: Sir Tadeas: Wesley "Big Wes" Grooms Sir Rudolf: Devin Boston Sir Edward: Salathiel Reagan Alryk: Zak We couldn't be more grateful that such talented actors are lending us their incredible voices and time to help bring Knight's Path to life!

You need to get the eye rigs to lock on the opposite speaker's eye target, like a bone or a socket. A lookat, and make it stick. Automate the lookat based on who is talking, that's the most important part of cinematic dialogue The idles need to be less exaggerated with such a close camera. Don't loop the same foot forward as part of the speech. The stance should change based on a line, as if the speaker is shifting their weight during their conversation Add subtle additive emotion anims during character speech. Minor facial tweaks that add a tone to a section of the speaking line. "To serve my lord" eyebrows up like he is something amazing "to protect the innocent" eyebrow slightly furrowed to stress the point

💯

I know it's wip, but seems a bit stiff, maybe have the characters move a bit or do something more dynamic, not the typical bethesda-like, left/right camera, check out CDPR's Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk for some examples, all things considered

Definitely, thank you for your feedback! :)

Sir Edward is like Sir Duncan the Tall. Gotta respect the commitment

More knights should be like Sir Duncan or Sir Edward!

"Sir Tadeas... Would you consider taking me as your squire?"

Basicaly this, yea xD

“Sir tadaes, wound you consider taking me as your squire?”

I’m getting this Gothic style. You start with nothing and you have to prove yourself without the game telling you what to do and paint everything in yellow. Am I right? 👀

Gothic always was the biggest inspiration for Knights Path in terms of game design :)

Thank you. 🙏 I’m playing the Gothic Remake, and it’s faithful in every way. I’ve always loved games like this. Keep up the amazing work, and I’ll see you when the game is ready.

Will you take me on as your squire? No.

Very excited for this game, massive respect to you guys for putting forth a game that doesn't cater to these highly feminized ideologies! Can we expect any references to Paganism perhaps within the game?

Yo, Lord Thadius, what's your beef? Haha. All sounds great

this reminds me of this😁

Zoom in the dialogue a bit more

Did somebody say...bath house?

Tadeus was brutal! Man, the visuals and the voice acting look great! Really looking forward to playing!

Tip: Don't let the dialogue start immediately after the player selects it. Make it more realistic, such as pausing to think, switching the camera angle, or having the character perform a movement like moving their body or hands.

If you need background VA or screams id be happy to throw my hat in the ring!

"No" 😂

The audio engineer in me wants to tell you to try and encapsulate how dialogue would sound outside and from any distance. Clean vocals are always great, but when using high fidelity equipment and recorded in any isolated environment, it can be either amazing or very distracting/offputting especially if the mic is very close to the VA.

I really like that the different knights you may serve have different ideologies and demeanors. And I love that we have a simple morally good Sir as well who just wants to protect and serve like a knight should.

😂🤣

If possible have the voice sound like its outdoors instead of inside a quiet studio if that makes sense.

I agree on zooming in. Zoomed out dialog makes the characters look wooden because people's bodies don't move much during a conversation. Zoom out (like you are) when characters are hand/leg gesturing, and zoom in otherwise (faces move, so zoom-in camera looks less wooden)

😂damn, Sir Tadeas does not mince words

"What kind of knight are you?" is a weird question without context. If preceded by something like "Only in battle will a man show what kind of knight he is.", then the emphasis should be on "you" in the response. That's a pet peeve of mine with game dialogue. Looks good though!

For real. If you need more VA’s my son is actively doing that for games right now. He has like 40 voices that he does well. As well he does very good at bringing emotion to everything. as well he’s learning to animate.

"No" 😩 Peak Really cool to see more snippets of the gameplay! And really Nice to see the feedback in the comments and how well you guys are taking It :)

Will the combat be be like Kingdom come deliverance with directional attacks or more like witcher (it would be interesting to see a mix)

Combat will be nothing like KCD. The most similar combat system is probably Sekiro, just not as hardcore for the most parts and based on HEMA.

Will the game be more focused realism or fantasy part?

Grounded low fantasy.

I am sold

Sir Edward all the way, humble, virtous, magnificent mustache and houndskull bascinet. I won't hear any other arguments.

Yesss!! The character we play has a voice instead of being a mute.

Great job on the voice acting

Sir Tadeus hasn't even said 2 words and I already like him.

The bathhouse?!

I want to play this on Xbox so bad!!
