Alright everyone! A nice, chill week for the Hallowspeak Project this time! We didn’t have any huge crazy breakthroughs, but not every week can have some big discovery! But we didn’t do nothing either: just a nice calm week! More than that though, this was a great week for the Team!
Let’s start off with the Project news. Previously, we thought that we had transcribed every single voice clip in the game ages ago in the early stages of the Project, so we hadn’t really focused on it. But it turns out, there are a few particularly tricky lines that we missed! Thanks to McFrei’s crazy work ethic, always looking for more things we can do, we found some voice lines we had not yet transcribed.
Unfortunately, the speech is not very clear, with super slurred speech and some lines that almost just sound like grunts! So we’ve been tossing around ideas as to what’s being said, and comparing what each of us hear in order to hopefully get an accurate transcription. Sometimes, linguistics is listening to a muffled recording of a few words a million times and having no idea what you’re hearing!
Now for the awesome Team news! Although we didn’t make any huge breakthroughs this week, the server has been more active lately and team spirits are up! More old team members are showing back up in the server after months of being inactive, and we’ve been chit-chatting a lot between eachother, almost like we’re friends or something. It’s been great! (Mish – Just like the old days ;u;) Hopefully this boost in morale bodes well for making progress going forward!
Well this concludes Crow’s first Update (which is really about 20% Crow’s writing, 80% Mish’s. I’ll get the hang of it :P)!! See you all next week!
