I'm new to game making and now understand where you're coming from. I didn't know it costed. I thought you can download a program and add voices. Another Dev told me that you have to be careful also because of copyrights. Also, if you're really creating this game alone, kudos to you. You're doing a really good job. I enjoy every bit of it.

Hell, I wish I could afford to add voices, and had the extra help to handle that part. I would need to have a lot more subs though to get to that point. But it would be pretty cool to put voices to the girls.You know what would make this written media form better! If I didn't have to read!

Not to dissuade you if you ever get the means, but a decent portion of us just mute sounds immediately.

Yeah, it's quite expensive. The little money I make from those kind enough to subscribe on Patreon or SubscribeStar goes back into the work by paying modders for content/assets, music licensing (which is a hassle in itself), plus licensing for a few applications I use for video and sound editing. Voice actresses aren't cheap, and for good reason.
Thanks for the kind words, so glad you enjoy the game

I think I did, but I usually play on my phone and it's always muted unless I feel like pairing headphones.I hope you gave my music a chance before muting mine

I think I've only played one game with voices that the voices were very good. If they are not done extremely well to me its better without. Every time something is said that doesn't sound good or like it doesn't fit well it breaks immersion. So I'd rather not deal with it at all. Its a huge expense that to me usually doesn't seem worth it. But other sounds can work well, like gasps, panting, heavy breathing, giggling... that sort of thing.

I usually also mute all sound when I play an AVN. When I started doing this, at first I didn't have any sound at all except for the menu music (which was a track of my own btw). But then I felt like if I used the right music, it would make it a bit better. I spent a long time searching and listening to songs. I've heard some horrendous music from the sources where most AVN devs get music from. It takes me quite a while to choose music. And sometimes, I'll hear something new that is really good and I have written scenes to go with that music.
Someone once told me "just have some soft piano music playing in the background or something". I tried that and I muted my own game. I prefer music that fits a scene or situation. Sad, happy, scary, etc... Even if there is no music between some situations. Not tooting my own horn here, but I like the music in Serenity and Last Human and even in my test play-through's, I always have it on so that I get the full effect while I am making sure the dialog works along with the images.

I tend to agree - your mucic selection is well selected for the scene it is in!
Some I even use on my personal "chill" playlist.
outofdarkness.mp3, peacefuldefiance.mp3, sacredground.mp3, secretplace.mp3, etc.
Where did you find them, btw?
Cheers

In theory, you could use TTS engines like voiceroid 2 but I doubt it would be exactly "lifelike". I think I saw some game where dev used "virtual gf" app replika ai for voicing.
If anyone interested,
config.tts_voice = "Zira"

There is something about reading an AVN (no voices), just the music that goes with it (if the right music is chosen). Even if it is acted very well, I prefer a visual novel to remain a visual novel. When you start adding voices, it is no longer a visual novel but more of a movie. What if you don't like the voices chosen or the voice actor/actress is bad? At least with no voices, you can let that part build along with the fantasy that it is supposed to be. No voices for my projects.I've noticed some even get accents as i'm reading, not sure why it just happens.
