The Oracle

[Joscasta]

Hello everyone.. long time lurker.. been keeping an eye on this project since the beginning, and a huge fan of the games for quite a long time.

My major feedback is the oracle scene. I am a deaf gamer and I was quite upset not to see any text boxes during this scene at all especially since this is the climax of the whole demo!

I would like an understanding as to why this happened, or a pm of what exactly was said so I can understand what was happening at this moment?? I recall asking about this in the discussion and was assured that there would be text boxes throught the entire game.

When the demo was put together, the Oracle scene was a last-minute addition, basically to show how we were doing in-engine cutscenes. Because of this, no subtitles could be added in time.

Rest assured that all such cutscenes will have subtitles in the final game.

I could try to transcribe the dialogue from this scene, but I'm not sure it would be accurate.

That's a good point brought up there! It's easy to forget about things like this when you're not deaf yourself...

You can rest assured that in-game dialogues will always feature subtitles, as TribeHasSpoken mentioned, the oracle scene was a last-minute rush-job, with even more problems than this one.

We still haven't dealt with the technical issue of adding subtitles to our rendered video cutscenes though. Without that, far too much would be missed by people with hearing disorders. You just reminded me of that.

Welcome Joscasta. I've already sent you what I remembered from the Oracle scene, but if someone knows it word for word, would you send that to him? And let us know here, so he doesn't get 50 PMs of the same thing?

I'm glad to inform you that we have successfully implemented and tested a subtitle feature for video cutscenes, and will include this in the full game.
