SDA Pre-Release Challenges
🕑 Added 2023-03-29 03:08:26 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
I hope those who downloaded the pre-release are enjoying Version 3.4! However, you may have noticed that the new lines sound different compared to the old ones.
As mentioned in the pre-release announcement post, Kerstyn had to get new recording gear after an unfortunate accident, and as such, the lines she's recorded now sound different compared to before. For those who haven't played 3.4 yet, or haven't noticed, we have two videos to demonstrate the differences. Thanks to Taylor for creating these!
1. This video is during natural gameplay, which is what most of you will experience. https://youtu.be/VKysdAfAQLg
2. This video is a direct audio file comparison. The differences are more significant here, but it is not representative of how the lines actually sound in-game. https://youtu.be/4taHgvDamuk
Kerstyn and I are working on fixing this issue, and I've been in talks with her since yesterday. We're redoing all the audio for consistency's sake. If it's not ready for the full release, expect it as a bugfix patch after the main release.
Version 3.4 will not be delayed, as I know many people are anticipating it. I just want to let y'all know that the audio needs improvement and is not final. Even after the full release, Version 3.3 will still be kept on the mod page as an optional download, as regardless of audio issues 3.4 may not work on existing saves (I mentioned this before).
I am still thinking about how to handle this on Xbox (it doesn't allow multiple files per mod page), but probably will just make a completely separate mod page either for 3.3 or 3.4.
Thanks, and stay awesome folks!

Thank you for the feedback and the encouragement!

Thanks for the update. If you didn’t point it out I probably would have thought it was my set up too. Its odd in the 1st video it almost sounds like when a speaker is trying to play something that is too loud for it. But the 2nd video sounds lower. Both do sound slightly muffled tho. I’m sure you’ll figure it out!

ok i would have blamed my headset until i saw this

I, and some others have noticed that the new recordings sound a bit more muffled compared to the old ones.
Soliman
dom you mean the slight static? or am I not even close?

I definitely prefer the older voice but both are wonderful! The dancing Seranas are oddly hypnotising as well.
