lonus Tech tips coverage of paxis 2014 is brought to you by Intel and Corsair

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,120
all right guys I'm here at the Indie Mega Booth with their came and Echo I

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,040
I've been hearing about this game ever since we landed and I I've had to check

4
00:00:12,799 --> 00:00:17,760
it out and we've been busy but we're finally here and I got to play it myself

5
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:22,359
and it's it's one hell of an experience and they don't even have the voice actors in there yet so what what is this

6
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:28,119
game what can you tell me about this game this is a voice controlled realtime

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:31,200
strategy game uh it's a little

8
00:00:28,119 --> 00:00:34,360
complicated we're in the court alpha

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:38,280
1 rce to Delta 3 on my

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:40,719
mark Miranda Fire on my

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:46,800
mark let's do it hit him Grace

12
00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:51,039
go will ween and Ashley berar in the game and you're controlling a squad uh

13
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:56,000
through various tactical scenarios with your voice and you say things like all

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:58,199
units to Alpha 1 uh Shields up Focus

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,879
Fire On Target 2 tactical decisions like that and it's a really narrative based

16
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:04,199
experience and it's a lot of fun to control with your voice so it sounds

17
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,840
really really cool when he talks about that but some things that you guys might be worried about is like oh well I don't

18
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,640
really know military commands I'm not going to remember to say uh to bra Bravo

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,119
2 or any of that kind of stuff so what you guys have something in place for

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:21,280
that can you explain how that works yeah so we have this system called command aliasing uh I can tell you what the

21
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,079
basic military commands are but it's a little tough to remember all those and

22
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:30,520
even if you do maybe it's not the way you want to command your guys so we have this system where you can replace any

23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,439
existing command or character or or

24
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,840
anything in the game with whatever you want if you don't want to call him Corin

25
00:01:34,119 --> 00:01:39,439
you can call him Benedict Cumberbatch if you don't want the command to be fire

26
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,759
you can say mess those guys up and this can be completely customized however you

27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,040
want and it's one of those things that you kind of just I understand that it

28
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:50,680
it's a little you might be a little skeptical about voice commands you might think oh that might not be very accurate

29
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,000
or that's not very good um you got to just try it I mean you just had a chance

30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,479
to give it a shot it's it's very very accurate and I want everyone to give it

31
00:01:55,159 --> 00:02:00,360
a shot that said um we do also support controller keyboard and mouse commands

32
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:04,479
as well so however you want to play it's cool with us yeah like like for instance

33
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,719
I aliased uh Corin one of the guys in the game to lonus so I could use him as

34
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,840
my Suicide fighter because I don't care about lonus he's not even here right now

35
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:16,200
so I can say that if he was here right now I would be in so much trouble anyways um like what what are some of

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,120
the risks you see in coming this because we come to the Indian Mega booth and we see so much Innovation but you guys guys

37
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:25,959
like this like I'm excited to pick this game up I'm going to pick this game up but uh um like dropping Budget on will

38
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,879
weaton and stuff like that like it's a huge name are you worried about that at

39
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,400
all I mean look yes that's is that a huge risk yeah yes it is I mean is this

40
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:38,400
whole game a huge risk yes it is there are not a lot of voice controlled games

41
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:40,560
out there but to me it's like I I want

42
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:44,400
to do something different you know I yes it's I had the we did our first game

43
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:50,640
sequence it made a good bit of money and I could have gone and maybe made a sequel to that or I could have done a

44
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:51,879
retro 2D platformer I guess not that

45
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:55,239
there's anything wrong with that if anyone's watching and likes retro but I

46
00:02:53,959 --> 00:02:59,959
wanted to try something really different I wanted to try to create an emotional connection between the player and the

47
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:03,239
characters in the game and I think actually talking to them and having them

48
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:07,080
talk back with some great voice actors is a really really cool way to do that

49
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,959
it's just more about what I really love and what I really wanted to see happen

50
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:15,080
and that's that's a perfect answer and exactly what I wanted to hear because that's what I love seeing in the Indie

51
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:18,519
Mega booth and honestly within the very short period of time I had to play it

52
00:03:16,799 --> 00:03:22,560
it's it's you get a connection with it immediately like it's I I cared more

53
00:03:20,959 --> 00:03:28,400
about those people because I wasn't just dragg and dropping them mous and throwing them into the battle I actually

54
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:29,920
had to tell him with his name go there

55
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:34,239
and if he dies from doing that I'm going feel bad that's your fault and more than

56
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:38,040
that they talk to you they respond if they don't hear you they say Sir repeat

57
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:41,159
that they banter amongst themselves and they all have very unique They're Not

58
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,760
Just Like Ur ra military soldiers generic guys they all have unique

59
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,480
personalities motivations desires and speech patterns and of course to that

60
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:52,840
