[Del_Duio]

Hey guys,

Here's a short demo video I made today that shows one of H2's weapons in action:





Stats:

TYRETTE, Cursing Sword
Offensive STR: +2
May banish enemies to the WTF Zone on strike
Attacks (2): Ground slash & Air Vortex
Drains 1 HP / round but won't kill you outright
Randomly spews one of 10 possible swears every 3rd swing.

Voiced by Tai Heatley, lead singer for rock band Cult 45.

I was amused at the idea, but the execution makes it feel a little childish.  I think a different voice (something grunty and vulgar) and curses more akin to catcalls or passive-aggressiveness would be better.

I assume the framerate is due to a bad screen recorder? Because if anything kills a potentially cool game for me, it's low framerate.

Yeah it's a Camstudio recording and it almost always records slower than it plays. I don't know why that is but rest assured it IS faster normally.

I do appreciate your feedback, but I gotta' stick with my buddy on this one. I've known her for a million years and she's got a shitload of talent (singing & acting). And she has heart & crossbone tats, man! That shit is cool.

Well, at least don't pitch-shift it.  That's my two cents.

I tried something new with this one by importing each wav into ModPlug Tracker as an instrument, bumping them all up to D#, then slapping on a flange effect. When they're spoke normally they didn't sound as good.
