Gabez Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 This is a really great radio play that everyone should download and listen to now. I DON'T THINK! Seriously, I don't mean to be a snob or anything, but GOD the voice acting is so bad. Also the script is like an exact copy of the game which means you might as well play it rather than listen to it, but even the script pales in comparison to the voices. I'm sorry if some of the people who made this come here and read this, but *someone* has to tell the truth. In it's favour, it's great that someone even attempted this, and voice acting is like the most difficult thing in the world to do well, and the first two episodes aren't as dismal as the third, so it's not *all* bad. But still. Download and laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 Its not that bad Gabez But youre right, its not this high quality like nightlight has reached. Oh well..I cant take it anymore ^^ Edit. And the background music is really, bad mixed.... thats it, Iam short in answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 The third part is even worse than the first and second, if that's possible. It makes you apreciate just how great Nightlight is! Edit: Try listening to part three and then BMI part one to see what I mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 So I heard part 1 and 3 and I cant cpmplain. As long I cant do it better, I dont say anything bad ...as Sal, but... As a regular Nightlight listener its really unwell done. The parts with the girl voices sounded like someone decided to let some fans join. If 8 would ask me to join on Tierra 2, it would be like that lol The bgm is annoying, and for me its very hard to hear out who´s talkin right now and to understand what exactly. I dont think they had a real record studio ( or how to say?) and that would explain why it isnt done that well. We´re all lucky that we can enjoy 8´s great work of the past and future. Iam glad I could join Nightlight in my own way =) It lets you really appreciate our high quality standard. Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Everyone's got to start somewhere. But really, half the thing is a narrator. I try to avoid having a narrator at all. And if I do need a narrator, they interact with the characters (Lost Cause, and the unrecorded Pharaoh) It gives 'radio plays' a bad name. If you're going to do one, at least have a decent storyline. Rehashing Secret of Monkey Island... well... people already know the story. So the only reason there is to listen to the thing is for the voices. And it isn't exactly worth listening for that. Exactly why I came up with my own story set in the same place. Beneath Monkey Island might be a little formulaic, but at least it's a good laugh. At least this radio thing that this guy made is good for ONE thing. It makes me really want to continue Beneath Monkey Island even if it is just to show that there's something better out there.

Exactly, and the dialouge is so ripped that you might as well be playing the actual game. Like in part three, Guybrush actually talks to the first SCUMM Bar pirate before being told that he needs to talk to another SCUMM Bar pirate. Why not just have both pirates as one? Maybe even merge them all together in the form of the three important ant looking pirates? There obviously hasn't been any cutting whatsoever. But as you said, everyone's got to start somewhere, and I hope that Vampire Wymzic Productions or whatever it's called will try again, taking the criticism from their first try into hand.

Incredible_d Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 It seems like they're trying to speak quietly or something. It doesn't work at all. I'm sorry but that show is pretty terrible. Just the lack of an enthusiastic sound contributes to how bad it is. And it shouldn't have ripped off the storyline of "Secret." I'VE made better radio shows than this. And mine were terrible! No offense to those who've made it, obviously. But try again with maybe a more original script and some more enthusiastic acting and you'll have a much better show.

VampireNaomi Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 Looking at his profile, I'd say 19. However, that often doesn't tell much of person's mental age. Just look at me, I'm mentally ten years younger than physically. Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Holy Zebra I feel old. Is anyone here older than me? I realised a kinda depressing thought... two days ago was the two year anniversary of the beginning of Lost Cause. I can't beleive that Nightlight has been stagnant for this long. Relaunch coming along nicely though. I typed to Metallus today, we should see something fairly soon. REALLY appreciate all of this, Met. Really really. Nightlight's going to look better than it ever has. Oh, and did I mention... GREEEEEEEEN!!! :D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw the T-shirt on the sims I nearly wept in jealousy. No joke... Seriously... No, I am being serious... SERIOUSLY!!! I've been preparing for the relaunch, listening to the golden oldies a few times. I have to congratulate you on how great they are, even after the umpteenth time. Can't wait.

The Salsa King Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Hey Thrik...shutup . BTW is there going to be any soundtrack/music behind the animation? anyone composing it? or is it going to be the sounds of silence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Well at the moment even thinking about music would be getting too far ahead of ourselves. It's taken about a year to get as far as three characters and a room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Hey...it isnt this far..as project leader, co-designer and helper by myself, I can say...it will take some time but the project is moving everytime faster. suprise is dead...a least a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Salsa King Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 hehe ah ok. well at least 3 characters and are room are better than nothing. Maybe you could do a animation that works entirely within one room...like "PhoneBooth" for those of you who have seen it, hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiMP RABBiT Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Any chance of new images in the near future? I'm especially interested in the backgrounds, because the characters were always going to be Grim Fandangoish, but the rooms I've got nothing to go on (unless of course they're Grim Fandangoish too).

Sallim Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Sorry but all I can say is, wait for relaunch. There isnt much, like you allready read. But rooms arent that difficult. For new Chara designs I have to be in contact with 8 every day. And because of the different time zones its kinda hard, espeacially if 8 just got a dial up connection. Yeah it takes a while, sorry guys. But I try my best and Iam learning while doing. I just learned it by myself =/ At least... the room is a bit Grim fandango style, you will see .... I try to make something new up to relaunch date, which is unknown for me, at the moment. Thanks for waiting for nightlight guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holdios Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Hey. I'm happy to wait for Nightlight anyday. I can have more patience than a briefcase in January if it means I get to experience the fine company and brilliant creative radio productions that Nightlight is. Take your time guys. It'll be worth it. (that doesn't mean I'm less eager to get my Tshirt. muah ha ha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a point, have you played Grim Fandango? Because if you haven't I could lend it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adventurer Posted October 1, 2004 Share Posted October 1, 2004 For GOOD, non-Nightlight online Radio plays I recomend the The Two Minute Danger Theater plays. You can find several of them archived over at Camp Chaos Productions. Star with Blast Off Patrol, then Blake Dimond, and Then the Voice. They rock.
