Sadly DC does not have enough money to hire a voice actress. Please donate more. XD

Why would anyone even want voice acting in the game?
And don't tell me it's because Japanese games have it, because I certainly can do with what they call 'moaning' over there despite the rest of the voice acting being decent.

I also think we're at a point where everyone has their own voice for the character in their head. So picking one might just annoy people. Take Eve for example. I bet some people here are imagining her with a voice you'd expect from a transsexual, but that doesn't really work for someone who goes with the girl route.

Also a good chunk of the player base wants to patch "landlady" into another word, and no patch can realistically change any voice acting.

I think this is also one of the major reasons. I know DC mentioned, and this may have changed, that he wanted the players to be able to modify the dialog in the end if they wanted. It's fairly clear with just common sense, that the landlady thing just doesn't work. Its not the way its meant to be. It doesn't come close to adding up which I hope continues.

We went from a game that had a huge amount of good content to a game that has none whatsoever... and this all took 2 years... This does not exactly inspire confidence moving forward. It kind of feels like this is 1 step forward and 1 mile backward.

How quaint. It's a joke, I get it.

On the serious side, the biggest problem with adding voice actors now isn't the cost for DC, but the fact that people have already head-canoned what they think each character sounds like. Now imagine the actors voices not even being near each player's preconceived ideas on what THEY think Debbie and Diane and Jenny and... And.. and.. sound like.

It's different when a developer starts voice actors early on. Players are then conditioned on what each character sounds like. Even if they have to change voice actors, they can look for those who have similar vocal tone and timber.

There's also the issue with multiple languages for the voice overs. If it was going to be done, I imagine using AI voice overs would be the cheapest way, and I'm betting that someone is already working on it as a mod.

Voice acting in pr0n games is quite a terrible thing in my opinion. Generally. Maybe for the odd sound effect type thing, certain situationally-appropriate "noises" and the like. But dialog? Good god no.

Then again, I play with audio muted anyway. So maybe what I say here doesn't carry any weight as an opinion.

I've said this before, voice acting for porn is for the most part done by people willing to do it, and be associated with porn, not because they're talented at it. Hearing E-girls trying to be "seductive" is cringe inducing.

I agree and I play a lot of games with the sound off as well, although SS is one game I do like the music, so usually leave the sound on.

For me, I have internal dialog for each of the characters, voice over would ruin that for me. That may seem strange, but it's how I roll.
