Heya everyone, Jintezaku here! (or Peter, if you prefer)
When I posted about my first big project I'm working on I got a response from user HeyYou over at Nexus Mods saying how he/she thought my mod was needed and hoped I would continue it.
In his tagline he had a link to this forum, and since I'm becoming more and more active in the modding scene with each passing day, it seemed like a good thing to join here as well.
So what am I making?
First I want you to know that while this is a side project of mine, that I do intend to keep developing this going forward.
I'm making a text-to-speech engine using the vanilla voice assets to create new dialogue for vanilla NPCs to allow for more dialogue choices for the player.
I won't go too in depth in this post, if you want to learn more or help out click here (Link to nexusmods dev page)
For anyone wondering who the **** is this dude?
I'm 23 years old, I live in the Netherlands. I finished college 2/3 years ago and graduated as a game developer (going to uni for my bachelor and master in 2019). My father is a music & sound producer and has taught me all about it over the years, and while I don't feel like I'm that creative I do like to play guitar and piano.
But because of this specific background I have this project really felt like something I could achieve. Because there is so much voiced dialogue already in Skyrim I'm 99% sure I can create good sounding, well toned, new dialogue with it. And with the development of my text-to-speech tool I'm hoping to bring those same skills to the general public.
If you've made it this far I'm sure you're interested to know more, so join my newly created discord and we can discuss it all! (also software developers and designers, all help would be appreciated!)
Thanks for reading,
Jintezaku (Peter)
