Ashe Recording Session!

Hey folks π, the Ashe Dry Run is finally here! π²
Sorry for the wait, but because of it you get to indulge in a whole ton of new Ashe content! π₯³ This dry run effectively covers the redos of Version 0.1 (seeing as we've changed Ashe's accent to a British one now), and the new content (0.2-0.4). π€
If you kept a keen eye on the development roadmap here: (https://sites.google.com/view/martimiusmods/ashe-fire-and-blood/development-roadmap?authuser=0) you would see that we only have one Version (0.5) left until the main release! π
That is why we should still be on track (considering the timeline doesn't change) to see Ashe publicly release by the end of the year! π
That means (considering how you guys have early access and all that) you should expect to play 0.4 around the start of August and 0.5 around early November! Still take this with a grain of salt as usual ty ty.
You can technically play Ashe RIGHT NOW though its only in the 0.1 proof of concept build and with the old American voice.
This dry run only covers Ashe content by the way, the SDA Interim Update Dry Run will be for another time (Custom Names, Daegon Banter, etc...).
Also, quick note- I had to leave for an urgent family errand at the end of the dry run, but Kerstyn was still able to record the rest on her own. I've included the audio (on her end) along with screenshots of the lines she read.
Comments
I'm a bit slow off the mark here as I've been busy of late. I see that Ashe has moved on since this posting, but I just wanted to respond to this as it's what I've had chance to look at (but not all the way through yet!). Just to say that I love the decision to go with a British English accent (I should call it an English English accent really!) and Kerstyn does it very well! My suggestion would be to resist the temptation to move too much towards a posh/RP (Received Pronunciation) accent, as a significant majority of people in England don't have that accent. I'm new all of this, so I'm not sure to what extent the radiant dialogue is finished at this stage, but I noticed things in there like talking negatively about the weather, about Whiterun being open, about people in Riften seeming nervous etc. These are all things that Serana says so, as many people will have Serana and Ashe as followers at the same time, my suggestion would be for them to have plenty of differences in how they regard things, otherwise the comments when they're together could be too samey. Anyway that's all I have for now, keep up the excellent work both of you and thanks for all of the insights into what you're doing!
