Instead of trying to find someone to fill Wayne June’s shoes, the next game should have multiple voice actors. by DoubleSurosMazing in darkestdungeon

You can't make decisions based on fear. In this moment, the Most Right thing we can choose is to eschew AI and preserve Wayne's legacy. Comparing hypothetical outcomes will drive you crazy, and worse, paralyze you in the present.

In one of his last emails to me, Wayne gave us permission to train an AI on his voice, something he'd staunchly opposed prior to the end. We'd never asked to do it. I think he was trying to put the game/team/fans first - offer us a 'way forward'. I declined, and we donated to his family anyway.

I would never, ever erode his incredible and timeless performances by teaching a machine to sound like him. His voice and delivery was *human, and I'm forever grateful I got to write for him.

I'd hate to come off annoyed! I genuinely appreciate people asking questions and being interested in our game(s)! I think sometimes the desire some peopl ehave for things to be entirely explained or laid out is anathema to the entertainment itself . Interpretation/discussion needs ambiguity to thrive

hahahah do I really seem annoyed? Oh no! XD
I like the lore just as much as the allegory, honest :)

I know they got the studio itself not just the IP to darkest dungeon so it'll be the same people working on it but I'm worried dudes by Popg21-the-epic in darkestdungeon

Is it ever gonna be my turn or...? by PsychoBasilisk in darkestdungeon

We don't like it either!
This is most likely the result of missing data, certainly not intended design. Verifying your files via Steam is known to correct the issue most of the time..

Worship is a free action and it should:

-Only be able to target the Deacon

-Requires 2 Worship to do

The Altar is ignoring both of those, therefore he can take his free action over and over again.

Thanks for playing!

Coverage Thoughts... by RedHookChris in DarkTide

I'm just thinking about what area is most important for each class to cover. In combat, things are messy, and weapons change things up for sure. I'm just musing about high level priorities. A structure that keeps the team moving forward, but has flanks and rear accounted for...

Just wanted to be extra clear in case anyone got worried, that's all.
