here's the bit where I ask for voices, and other shit

Posted by I-smel - December 4th, 2009


Feelin like an insignificant retard who'll never make an impact on anyone and die alone? well that must mean its time for A NEWS POST! from that guy- orange avatar- I can't remember his name it's somethin stupid.

What's Legend of JOHNNY?
I could spend fuckin hours talkin about this game, but lets just call it Devil May Cry as a 2D platformer. It's got mouse controls, so chew on that for a sec n check out these screenshots.

The only AUDIO dialogue is in the intro and outro. The idea is that there's a boy named Johnny, his girlfriend gets stolen by evil guys, so he makes a deal with the devil to be super tuff, and goes on a mega quest to get her back. It's all very doofy and casual, none o that weird gothic occult demon shit goin on.
I've drafted the intro so I wouldn't forget stuff. This is it.- Hopefully I'll change all the stuff that's shit and weird. ANY FEEDBACK OR ANYTHIN ANYONE WANTS TO SAY ABOUT HOW I CAN MAKE THIS BETTER: FUCKIN GO FOR IT. I'M TOTALLY LISTENIN.

Ok so that's the intro- here's a summary of the guys who need voices:
JOHNNY
To be honest I've totally over-thought Johnny. I wanted to make him anti-cool so he wouldn't be like this demon-slayer ninja guy, but more like the Peter-Parker-archetype (deliberate rhyme) so the first thing I did was give him this orange Tintin-esque coif and put him in a shit band with a dopey name, really effortless clothes (except the jacket, that's animation emphasis blah blah) etc.
Then, for a while, I thought maybe he should have like a really unfortunate voice that'd make him sound like an idiot. Like he could talk in a total casual way but imagine if he was from Texas- or Kentucky, or New York, Canada, Wales, Ireland, fuckin Yorkshire, London, an I just said RIGHT STOP THINKIN ABOUT THAT COS YOU'LL BLOODY RUIN IT.
So you guys just try n do the best Johnny you can, and hopefully it'll just fit. Cos voice guys can probably come up with somethin way better than I can anyway.

JESSIE
Jessie is Johnny's GF. She's not really into Johnny, and thinks he's an idiot who should fucking grow up. Maybe she just likes him cos he's got money, or a car or something? I don't know. She's confident, on-top, abbrasive, and the kind of person who would walk up and punch the guy who's setting everyone on fire.

PRIDE
concept art for pride
Pride is a douchebag / rich jerk. The kind of person who steals people's girlfriends. I think of him as Noel Gallagher, or Russel Brand, or anyone out of The Entourage. He's above everyone else, and angry at anyone who's not doing exactly what he wants.

WRATH
I imagined Wrath to be the merchant from Resident Evil 4. Except instead of talking all SLOW AND MYSTERIOUS, he's totally casual and pretty pumped to burn shit up. So he keeps the cockney pronunciation, and the demonic growl voice, but he talks at the rate of a normal person. I sound so bloody stupid writing these.

GREED
I haven't thought about this at all, so y'know what just go nuts. Greed is based on a news story I read once about some loser scum who won the lottery, then blew it on jewellry, beer, weed and quadbikes.

THE DEVIL
This is another one I've over-thought. At first he was pretty much Hades from Disney's Hercules, then I got this bizzare idea that he'd be this 60's scat fellow like pretty much like Drebin. An when it came to drawin him, I just went with somethin completely different. So again- whatever you think works.

THE PUB LANDLORD
Duhrr.

Comment here, PM me, E-mail Tombrien@msn.com, whatevs. Don't feel like you have to say exactly what's planned, go nuts, alter the script however, I'm not a writer or nothin.

n that's jus about it. Am I askin too much? I think I bloody am y'know. In all fairness though, this game is stupidly big. Like I can confidently say that this game was a daft idea. Y'know that idea you get when you FIRST start makin games (or fuckin cartoons or whatever, ya know) an you've got this idea that you'll make this magnificent amazing game experience with 8 levels, 8 original bosses, all frame-by-frame, fuckin- animated cutscenes, all that gubbins. Then you open Flash and find out that makin a guy jump is pretty fuckin hard and that crazy huge game never gets made? Legend of JOHNNY is pretty much: imagine if someone actually did one o those stupid ideas. I started it like a year ago, but I got busy with college, got a job, made about 4 other games, made a website, got another job; it's just bin in my back pocket for ages.
I want it done before 2010, but LET'S BE HONEST, no way is that happening. I mean I've still got intro n outro to animate, menus to do, none of the audio's in. pffffffpfpfpfff
I wanted it finished cos A) this is gettin a bit sad, and B) Tank award: goin for it.
but now I've got the almost-finished blues an I've just gone n got another job, so nevermind I guess.

I kind of wanna spout about the game for a paragraph or so, but this is probably allready a fuckin long post so I'll cut it short here.

I'm up to episode 25 of this anime called Gurren Lagann. I'm not big on anime, but every now n then blah blah. Here's how they animate a guy getting punched:

great stuff

everyone ask me stuff, cos I'll have a fun old time talkin about shit.
Hopefully the next news post'll be askin about testin n shit.
Now I'm gonna go PM a bunch of guys about this. Allright, no I'm not, but I probably will do later.
I THINK THAT'S IT? EXPECT THIS POST TO BE EDITED ABOUT 50 TIMES!
OH- and thanks to Ed mcmuffin, his tablet sped up the creation of this scene's production by 1.56 coefficient.


Comments

keep the way johnny signs the contract

I didnt expect that to be funny, I was just bein lazy n shit. but then when I watched it back, it was like the best part.

I took 2nd in this month's voice acting contest. I'd like to tryout for this. Any audition lines?

sure, anyone can
I can post a draft of the outro scene aswell, but that'd ruin the ending :(
some people are sendin me demo reels

hmm that reminds me, ill be in manchester next month

Oh, cool. I'd suggest we meet up, but seein an internet person in real life would genuinely penetrate my comfort zone n probably none of us'd like that.
The-EXP lives here n all.

I wouldn't mind helping out. Do you have any audition lines or just listening to demo reels? I have some audio samples on my profile.

checkin em out

oh if only i had skills to be apart of this
ur my favorite game maker on newgrounds

ive
BEEN
WATCHING YOU
for ages now

handsome
love you

lovin the intro

thanks, thats cool. favourite game maker on newgrounds- daw shucks

Eagerly looking forward to playing it mate. Got a sponsor lined up or are you going down the FGL route?

Got any other future projects lined up?

funny thing is I FGL'd it from DAY ONE. MaxGames.com payed a fucking shedload to close the bidding ages ago and said "finish it whenever", so it's theres

I love the guy, he does OUTRAGEOUS contests every year n I allways win

Johnny looks like Guybrush Threepwood.

ok good. I dont play games like that, but Im takin it as a compliment

send some lines or something, and some info, and im in :D
makes me feel special :D
anything, songs, lines, weird song voice beats.
some info, how should it be :D
and ill send you demos and stuff :D
good for everyone :D

hey man your awesome site isnt working for my computer so whats up with that cause i wanna play your sweet game, cause everyday sorta i would check it out and play it.

my site is totally down and I dont know why. I dont know much about websites
here's a version that's close to a year old:
http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/0 90109/7388_YeahBabyGoYeah_Allrigh t-_consistency_check.php

Can I just rant a few lines of my own for tryouts or do I have to say what they say?

absolutely do whatever you want and whatever will sound best

i could do the 'wrath' character and i could pitch change my voice for jessie

i'll have to put my vagina hat on tho

I could probably find a lady to do Jessie, it cant be that hard

NVM I see it, I've finished anyway check yo Email.

I would like to be a tester. Mmmmyes?

sure, whenever Ive got a presentable version

Ooh, I love to try a few of these voices. Wrath and maybe the pub landlord. Is there a deadline?

no, no deadline whatsoever.

I'd try out for a part but my microphone is SHIT!!!
Also I think you forgot to to draw his face.

in the in-game graphics he's got no face. if I drew a face, then there'd be a whole bunch of detail in a really small space, and it'd unbalance the fidelity of the rest of the game.
try out anyway

Sending an email along your way!

Deadlines are awesum, even it's just a week or a couple days from now.

They tend to result in getting the best actor possible, instead of just "the first one that sounds good".

Ok then, the deadline is next week

Will you pay me obscene amounts of money if I act to the worst of my abilities?

no.

OHGODOHGODOHGODOHGO

*Whips out audacity and starts recording immediately.*

I'm gonna record some stuff once I get home on sunday :D

I'm in love with the game and all of your games and it would be awesome to be a part of it
