Corefun Studios @corefunstudios.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Special thanks to Benjamin Kolz for voicing Warutonga! Archaeloids grew up in vast oceans, so they prefer open space to enclosed areas. Warutonga thinks the missing scientists may be hiding in space—it’s what he would do. Consider your crew’s biases when weighing their advice! 010
Corefun Studios @corefunstudios.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Pirates have taken the research station. Scientists are hiding somewhere in the system. Where do you search?

Corefun Studios @corefunstudios.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I’ve been working on dialogue, voice acting & story breadcrumbs for the upcoming demo. Most of it is too spoiler-heavy to reveal.

Corefun Studios @corefunstudios.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I do love character creators, but I prefer JRPG style protagonists in the video games I design (but the opposite in the TTRPG I created). I like protags with deep backstories. I know that doesn't exclude physically designing the protag, but often, appearance is part of the backstory, too. 000
Corefun Studios @corefunstudios.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I think it would just be discovered during play. I'm currently investigating options for a rnd name generator I'd use sometimes within my current conversation system. This would be tied to a specific voice type (out of the 5 sets) for consistency. There will be specifically named characters, though. 000
Corefun Studios @corefunstudios.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Right now, I'm keeping them locked per type, but I could easily vary them across physical types. For instance, the higher pitched Scout voice is normally given to the physical Scout, but I could assign all Scout comments to a Warrior. I wouldn't mix voice types across one physical type, though. 100
Corefun Studios @corefunstudios.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I have 5 different voice types, so I pick one per ship and put all the comments of that type into a randomizer. And across the 5 voice types are 5 slight physical variations of Chiraktis. But there could be 2+ warrior drones in the same battle--they'd be pulling from the warrior voice pool. 100
Corefun Studios @corefunstudios.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Thanks! And to answer your question: until these aliens, I've been scripting individual voice lines per character, since they're human NPCs. But the Chiraktis aliens all look similar, so I'm recording 5 main voice types and then using a randomizer to pull up comments from a pool, per voice type. 100
Corefun Studios @corefunstudios.bsky.social · 10/09/2026A late #WishlistWednesday dev update! Will you let them get inside your head?
