In case you don't have access to the danman forumms here is an update on the Flood and how it will sound in game!


Update Part 1

Took a few pictures for fun, showing some of the process behind the flood sounds that will show up in game. I guess I'm also confessing my nerdy love for Foley.



Used some wet spaghetti, mashed potatoes, celery, and a bit of ground beef.



Spaghetti and ground beef making nice slime noises whilst celery makes a lovely crunch that sounds like breaking bones.



Then potatoes add lovely slurping noises that can make your stomach churn.



Keep posted for the finished product!

Update Part 2: Threw some zombie voice acting in the pile and came up with this. Note that you will not hear these lines very often as it is very difficult to capture a flood ship, but in the event you do. Here is your reward.

Next up! Some Gravemind, so keep posted!

so... the flood is edible?

That depends on how much you like eating zombies...

[Commander Jbug]

The fleshy sound is perfect! The only bad thing about it is that the voice sounds too human. It needs a little bit of editing to make it sound deeper and more like the Gravemind.

Now I'm hungry, thanks.. >_>

[Despoiler25]

I love these sound effects. Sancho keep up the good work.

Gravemind is next for flood events, this is the audio set for light frigate and siege flood controlled ships.

Yep. Never looking at spaghetti quite the same way again.......

Is the gravemind going to be the floods pirate base? That'd be awesome.

[mrBurgerface]

I see a mountain dew in the first pic. I hope one of the voice clips is the sound of a flood chugging that.

Naw, just a flood infested world. Remember, it is possible to capture the pirate base... capturing a gravemind is... well... odd... to say the least

As Golly would say:

It breaks the immersion

Yea I didn't think it through. It wouldn't be possible to swap the model would it?

Swap the model? For the planet? Yup. Already done

Immersion is nothing to kid about, sloose.

Oh, I know. You're just the one who always points it out lol

[CanadaMan7]

Solemn agreement.

So you could make the model the gravemind on like a space station or something and when you depleted it's health and invade it it switches model.

There's only one wonky way to change planet meshes while the game is running, and people have already suggested we use it to change the mesh so that planets have a different texture after being glassed. We've decided not to use it for that, so I'd say we're not going to use it for this either.
