Probably 5000 but the staff are vigilent and delete a lot of what is posted for, allegedly, being OT

That wouldn't make any sense to do...

The game is hugely popular now without V/O, and assuming DPC maintains the quality of product and keeps with it, it could very likely remain popular for years. Pretty much anyone who has played any adult game has played or at least heard of BaDIK.

So... what would be gained by adding V/O once the game is completed? Hiring a cast of decent voice actors would be a large expense, so where's that additional money going to come from? I REALLY doubt there's a legion of potential players out there going "I'd buy this game on Steam or support the Patreon if only it had voice acting!". It might convince a few more players to try it, but not THAT many. It just wouldn't be a value-added feature.

The caveat to this is, of course, DPC's vision for the game. If he REALLY feels that his Magnum Opus of Porn Games needs V/O to be 'complete', that's his choice as a creator... I have my doubts, though.

It's not about adding or not adding. It's about the developer vision. I'm not making this up, its what he said. Maybe with the years his opinion may change but at the end of the day it's just another option. You'll be able to turn it off in the options menu.

He scrapped it for a reason. I'll assume that/those reason(s) still stand.

They scrapped it when they released 0.2 because it was too expensive, and even though it's been well over a year since then and they have thousands more patrons, they still have a very large cast of characters and even just hiring 4 or 5 decent voice actors who could do multiple voices, it will still likely be too ambitious for them in terms of cost when the game ends.

It's simple, voice actors willing to provide VO work for an adult game lack the talent to perform at the level required.

Jennifer Hale, Tara Strong and Laura Bailey wouldn't want to risk lowering their brand by providing VO for this game.

I'm pretty sure he left 3 years ago when she cheated on him with Jill.

It's been 3 years since a man made her feel so horny, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's been gone for 3 years.

Perhaps not. But there are VAs who have done or specialize their voice acting to adult games and hentai.

I did say pretty sure. Plus she does lament the fact that she hasn't seen him in a long time.

No android version. Previous one was so broken it couldn't be played and a new one hasn't been made.

Oh I know the reasons....was making the point to the previous poster.

And they are awful (opinions subjective).

I mean it depends on the quality you want. The ones in random 2 minutes of fun flash games, yeah that's pretty bad. But Kunochi Trilogy. That's a bit better.

Voice acting...

(thank you Wizard_Shiryuu for letting me know about these guys)

 

[ItsNotMeToo]

Quinn, really? Girlfriend has given more rides than Seattle Slew.

It's her attitude, her looks and style all combined that does it for me. Now I'm not saying she's wife material, but given that the MC just started college?

 

[DarkLup]

When it comes to good VA, i have House Party that comes directly to my mind, both for male and female voices, even in sexy scenes (which is crazy because i usually cringe so much when it comes to moaning)

I now want to live in a world where Tara Strong is voicing one of the LIs and calls the MC Puddin' regardless of what pet name is selected on the phone app.

Plus why would she say she has forgiven him during the pool scene with the MC ?
