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

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

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

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

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

00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:28.119
game what can you tell me about this game this is a voice controlled realtime

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:31.200
strategy game uh it's a little

00:00:28.119 --> 00:00:34.360
complicated we're in the court alpha

00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:38.280
1 rce to Delta 3 on my

00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:40.719
mark Miranda Fire on my

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:46.800
mark let's do it hit him Grace

00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:51.039
go will ween and Ashley berar in the game and you're controlling a squad uh

00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:56.000
through various tactical scenarios with your voice and you say things like all

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:58.199
units to Alpha 1 uh Shields up Focus

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.879
Fire On Target 2 tactical decisions like that and it's a really narrative based

00:00:59.559 --> 00:01:04.199
experience and it's a lot of fun to control with your voice so it sounds

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

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:13.640
really know military commands I'm not going to remember to say uh to bra Bravo

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

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

00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:24.079
basic military commands are but it's a little tough to remember all those and

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

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.439
existing command or character or or

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

00:01:34.119 --> 00:01:39.439
you can call him Benedict Cumberbatch if you don't want the command to be fire

00:01:37.240 --> 00:01:42.759
you can say mess those guys up and this can be completely customized however you

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

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

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

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

00:01:55.159 --> 00:02:00.360
a shot that said um we do also support controller keyboard and mouse commands

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:40.560
out there but to me it's like I I want

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

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

00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:51.879
retro 2D platformer I guess not that

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:55.239
there's anything wrong with that if anyone's watching and likes retro but I

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

00:02:58.640 --> 00:03:03.239
characters in the game and I think actually talking to them and having them

00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.080
talk back with some great voice actors is a really really cool way to do that

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

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

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:18.519
Mega booth and honestly within the very short period of time I had to play it

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

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

00:03:24.920 --> 00:03:29.920
had to tell him with his name go there

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

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

00:03:35.879 --> 00:03:41.159
that they banter amongst themselves and they all have very unique They're Not

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.760
Just Like Ur ra military soldiers generic guys they all have unique

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:48.480
personalities motivations desires and speech patterns and of course to that

00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:52.840
end we have our crazy awesome cast will weaton Ashley Burch Laura Bailey Yuri

00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:57.720
