Hi, I'm Jor, and these are the official voice auditions of Trooper Down 3.
Trooper Down 3 is a sci-fi on-rail First Person Shooter that relies heavily on its storytelling to make the game feel immersive. It's inspired by sci-fi franchises like Star Wars, Halo, Titanfall, etc. but still tries to be as original as possible.
(if you want to learn more about the game's story, a google doc link will be provided at the bottom of this description)
The game is developed using scratch, a basic programming language with a TON of limitations.
That being said, I have almost 4 years of experience in making games and animations in scratch, and I wanted to get slightly ambitious as to just how good of a game I could try and make using it.
(read my about me if you want to learn more)
Like I said earlier, in order for this game to feel immersive, I have created a story to go along with it. Just like any other first person shooter with a story, this game will have characters that interact with each other, both in the cutscenes and in the gameplay itself. And that is where you, the reader, have the chance to participate
there are a TON of characters. From the main characters, to background characters. All are important for the game's narrative and the player's experience. Even if it's just a single voice line, I still want it to sound the best it can possibly be, in order for it to feel real and believable.
(though really, I'll take anything that sounds decent, so don't feel too pressured)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING VOICE ACTING:
If you sign up for a Lead or even main role, be sure to also keep in mind that there might be one more game after this, so if your character is in it, I would ask that you also voice act for that game as well as this one. Plans for a fourth game are in the works, but the script is not yet written. Some, if not most, main character roles are going to be in the fourth game, so if you're picked one of these roles, be prepared for other voice lines in the distant future after your initial set.
(If I think the character will be in the next game, I will make sure to let it be known in the role's description)
I don't have any other messaging social media's other then Discord and Gmail, so I would prefer to have the voice lines be sent that way
(If you're the one that reaches out, please send message requests, not friend requests. Thank you)
This is an unpaid project, and should be just for fun. I might make it so people can donate, but there's no guarantee it'll make a profit, so just expect it to be unpaid for now
Now that that's out of the way, here are some things to expect from VA'ing:
The lead cast of characters have a pretty specific personality to them, but the less main a character is, the more vague their personality will be. That being said, there are still some lines that will need to be said in a specific tone of voice in order to fit, so I will make sure to include then when I send you voice lines
IF you get picked I will reach out to you through DM's or Email, and basically I will give you your lines, as well as other lines to give some context as to how you'd respond naturally as if its and actual conversation
The game is set in a militaristic setting, as most of the characters are either soldiers, or people who work around or with soldiers. Depending on the line, some lines might be altered to sound like they are on a radio or wearing a helmet. Also there might (keyword MIGHT) be a lot of military terms your character has, so there's that as well
(I don't know enough military terms though, so we'll see)
There are also a LOT of fictional names for things like Planets, Aliens, Tech, Etc. So if you have trouble pronouncing then please let me know, but I should be able to clarify in advance if its TOO complicated
Now for a brief description of the actual game, before I wrap this up
In Trooper Down 3, players will have the chance to play a 5 level campaign, estimated to last around 40-50 minutes in length counting the animated cutscenes
Players will be fighting hostile alien lifeforms both on foot, and in the air.
Although the game is not truly 3d, the graphics and code will give the slight illusion that it is. Movement is restricted to only be where you look, but the character will sometimes move when scripted. The ground combat is most comparable to any type of arcade shooter, and the air combat is comparable to games like Star Fox
I'll try not to spoil the game's story to much, but some of the story is leaked in the character descriptions
However as far as the backstory goes, you can read a brief description of the lore I wrote here:

That is all for the description. I'll definitely add updates and stuff from time to time
Thank you for checking my project out, and as always, have a nice day
