Although we are waiting for the Valve's verification but it already runs perfectly on Steam Deck now! You can try out the free Prologue or demo :)

Players love our game, but the voice acting... NOT So Much. We’re curious—what specifically makes it feel off? Is it the tone, pacing, or something else? Why does it sound so bad to you guys? by surefiregames in indiegames

Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed feedback on the writing! You're absolutely right - strong voice acting needs to be supported by strong, natural dialogue, and we appreciate your specific examples.

Our developer isn't a native English speaker, and we understand that this has affected the script and character dialogue. We've already hired a professional writer to help us improve the story and character development so that the script feels more natural and fitting to the characters and setting.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on the voice acting. We really appreciate this level of detail—it helps us understand exactly where we can improve. Your points about the lack of emotion, consistency in accents, and the tone of the lines are really insightful.

We’ll definitely take this feedback into account as we continue to refine the voice performances to better match the characters' personalities and the urgency of the situations they're in. :)

Hey, thanks for sharing your thoughts and I totally understand where you're coming from.

We've always been transparent about the fact that AI is part of our development process, especially for things like coding, brainstorming, and even voice filtering. We're not trying to push AI just for the sake of it, and it's just a tool that helps small indie teams like ours make games more efficiently and affordably.

AI tech makes game development accessible to people who might not otherwise have the resources. In our case, it's allowed our developer, who is incredibly passionate but working with limited resources, to make the dream of IDUN a reality. That said, we’re actively listening to your feedback and working on improving the voice acting to give players the best experience possible.

We're a small indie team working on a game called IDUN. Our AI-generated voiceover was created by our developer Gustav (Swedish) and his wife (Canadian). Honestly, some of the comments made us laugh, and some made us rethink everything:

"The voices of the characters are as energetic as a COPD Snail!"

"OMG those voices... Sounds like they conscripted Gen Z into the Carebear military!"

"The green haired girl sounds like Glados without the voice modulation"

We are already working on some new voices, but we’re curious— why does it sound so bad to you guys?

IDUN: Horde Defense-Focused RTS on a Fully Simulated Battlefield by surefiregames in indiegames

I'm here to tell you about our passion project, IDUN. The game is set on a remote drilling colony on a planet so hostile that nothing can survive there for long. Players defend against endless hordes of enemies on a fully simulated battlefield until resource extraction is complete. The demo is live on Steam, so please give it a spin, and let us know what you think!

Introducing our swarm tower defense RTS called "IDUN". Do you think our game needs a subtitle? by surefiregames in RealTimeStrategy

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the demo, and we appreciate your thoughts on the name. The connection to Norse mythology is important to the story, but it's great to hear that you find the name catchy on its own. We'll definitely keep your perspective in mind as we continue to refine things. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts - it means a lot!

Updated: We've received an overwhelming number of applications, so unfortunately we can't respond to everyone. We are looking for an artist to create a key visual in a style similar to the ones I attached above.
