If I had a dime for every time someone on the internet dropped out o somethin on me!
j/k, I don't know what a dime is. I'm English, we have hexagonal coins. Seriously though, I've got a whole bunch of half-done games with the best fucking artists.
Anyway I asked for voices for Legend o Johnny like a year ago and got the best possible cast of people I could've got. Only half of em came through in the end though, so now I guess I'm back here. Sad face. Some people weren't available, or missed it the first time though so maybe I'll work out better- silver lining!
If you don't know what this game is: It's a 2D fightin shootin action game that I've bin workin on for a million years. You play as Johnny, you're girlfriend gets kidnapped by mysterious thugs, and you sell your soul for the strength to get her back. That's the game.
Here's the opening cutscene. Judge the game on that.
So far I've got Jessie, the devil, and skull fire head guy. They are fab-tabular. I still need:
JOHNNY - Has more lines than anyone, there's about 5 minutes of cutscene in the game with him talking.
I had a lot of different ideas for Johnny about his voice, his attitude, all that shite; but really the only thing I can do without genuinely hating myself is a generic everyman. I know, I'm sorry. He's about 19- 20, has no job, no prospects, no money, he's a typical newgrounder. His first few lines are kind of played down like he doesn't wanna be there, then for a minute he's ecstatic, and later evolves into taking everything a bit more seriously.
PRIDE - Has about 3 lines in the intro, and a short conversation later on.
is the closest thing this game has to a rival. He's an low-class British rockstar type who gets everything he wants all the time. Be prepared to sigh a lot, talk down to people, sound condescending, be a twat. He's not a total idiot, and doesn't do any whining.
Everyone's sending me Pride as this private-school, trust-fund rich englishman, but I'm lookin for a more Liam-Gallagher, big-head english rockstar.
GREED - Has about 3 lines in the game, you kill him before the next cutsene
I like him from the south. Imagine him driving a truck with a shotgun in the passenger seat. Don't over-do it though. You know what I mean.
THE BARMAN - Has literally two lines in the game
He is based on Al Murray. There, I said it. He's an angry working-class English pub landlord.
If you wanna replace "OH JESUS!" with "GORDON BENNET!", "BLOODY NORA!" or "JESUS WEPT!" then by all means.
If anyone wants to swap any words about in the script, then fuckin GO FOR IT. I'm not a writer, and I don't know fuck all about what's good, or funny, or sounds right, or anything. If you can say somethin better than I can write it: brilliant.
I think that's all of em.
Actually- It'd be mad bonus if someone could do an announcer voice to shout the game's title, like an old arcade game. Y'know, like METAL SLUG!! or SOUL CALIBUR!! or STREET FIGHTER!! but a bit less omnipotent and a bit more sly n quick and aggressive. Know what I mean? Probably not.
and that's it. Please try it :(
Oh, the game's finished by the way. Like- FINISHED finished. Once I get voices and lip-synching in then it'll be out and I'll hopefully never have to look at it again.
Oh and yea, there's a full written script with a bunch of direction n shit on it. If you wanna see anythin, ask for it!
also my e-mail is Tombrien@msn.com
AUDITIONS BY THE END O THE WEEK by the way
I played Bioshock 2. I thought it was gonna be shit, but it was allright. Traps are cool.
OK WAIT, I'M GONNA DESCRIBE PRIDE N GREED AGAIN:
Everyone's sending me Pride as this private-school, trust-fund rich englishman, but I'm lookin for a more Liam-Gallagher, big-head english rockstar.
The other one's Greed, who's this really downplayed, lazy bluegrass simple hick.

Those bullets hardly exploded at all.
I-smel
