Hey All! With a successful Betty Contest concluding the month of November with both a German and English submission, we've decided to kick off the month of December with a Billy Contest!
Billy, is the male version of the Battlemech and Vehicle Computers that we will be using for MW:LL. As far as we know, there have been no male versions in MechWarrior, so this will be a first!
Since we have way more males participating in the Mechwarrior universe than females, we expect this one to be BIG and include MANY submissions! Unlike the previous one however, this time we will announce that there WILL be two winners! English and German versions.
The winner(s) will be showcased in the December Newsletter for MW:LL and included into the first release of the mod! As an enticement, winners will be getting Early Version Access when it becomes available (when we pack the mod into something MP playable). Don't worry Betty's, you will get access too..
AS A VOLUNTEER CONTESTANT, BE AWARE THAT WHEN YOU WIN, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE YOUR VOICE FOR THE MOD AND BECOME ONE OF THE TEAM MEMBERS!What you need to do:(1) Start clearing your throats
(2) Record a line from Mechwarrior Betty's (Bottom of this post) examples
(3) Host the file somewhere or upload it here on the forums
(4) Post link here!
DEADLINE IS THE 31st of DECEMBER!Recording Format: 44khz, 16bit, Mono
File formats we will accept:
.ogg, .wav, .mp3Here's an example file my girlfriend did:
http://landrosradick.shackspace.com/Mech/AP-AYT.wavWe'll be providing the "effect" of sounding like a computer, so there's no need to edit the file itself! Just send us the voice sample and we'll modify it and post it back here!
Again, PLEASE do not add your own effects to the audio file!
Some tips for recording:Have a noise canceling microphone (most microphones, including desktop ones provide this these days)
Hold the microphone about 4-6 inches AWAY from the mouth and nostril area, preferably to the side as to not pick up any breathing.Give it multiple takes (and it's ok to host the file with multiple takes on it) until you or her feel comfortable with the recording.
