Scrimbles Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I don't think any of the voices remotely fit the characters, but my god that art style is SOOOOOO much better than the modern style. More of that art style, please and thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's very likely that it may happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O_o das good. Gonna be honest though I prefer music as their voices, but that doesn't mean they didn't do a phenomenal job with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonefruit Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 thamk you klei. Genuinely though, that was phenomenal! I mean, any short you guys put out is great, but that was really something!

It may be because you're used to hearing music as their voices, if you showed this short to a person who had never heard about Don't Starve and didn't know the characters voices were instruments and then showed them the instrument voices they would (Probably) say the same thing.

BezKa Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I DID NOT expect this. I was playing when I decided to check twitter and oh my god. I just can't handle this. I'm not sure I will be able to sleep tonight from all this excitement. This is one of the best gifts I could ever receive- and I'm already waiting for my Klei plushies. It feels good to be obsessed with a game which creators care for once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like hearing the voices of characters and if a tv series was made I would want real voice actors over the musical instruments, it’s silly and fine for the game itself- but unless they did it like really really old silent movies I would hate them not having voice overs. My sister is in here 20’s & still can’t read very well at all.. so voice acting really helps read things for people like her that she can’t read. (she has dyslexia) I can read, but I can’t read large walls of text that pop up and disappear too quickly so a tv series that relied on musical instruments and TONS of reading is a no from me.. And even though Voice Overs will feel kind of awkward, it will be less reading (or guessing what the characters are trying to say) with real voice overs.

GelatinousCube Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Here goes what will probably be an extremely unpopular post and opinion.. I really liked the short and the actual content included (lyrics, graphics etc) and would love more of this sort of thing from Klei but I couldn't really dig the voices especially Willow. Way too high pitched and just yeah... doesn't match her actual character at all for me. Wilson's voice was much better but still not great for his character. It gave me the vibe of early morning shows for children (the voices that is nothing else). If an animated series was made and the voices were similar to these ones there is no way I would watch it unfortunately. Why not keep the instrumental voices? Have subtitles or speech bubbles or something for each character. I'd prefer this to actual voices especially if they're going to be catered towards kids as well as older audiences which I imagine will be the case. I'd love more shorts like this from Klei but to be completely honest I think a tv show would ultimately be a bad idea and would potentially ruin or damage the IP for many of us. I feel like the overall feel and vibe of the series would change so that its more kid friendly. Also they would need to add more lore as the lore we have is very mysterious and has lots of gaps allowing for players own perception and head canon while bits and pieces are slowly revealed. In a show they would need to have a strong plot that moves forward and I could definitely see them revealing or giving away details that don't really gel that well with what we see in the game or the overall story we are all currently used to. Oh also it would obviously split Klei's focus and I'd rather as much focus be on the game as possible. If it was genuinely made without children in mind whatsoever like Archer, Bojack, F is for Family etc (not in any way similar as far as content or humour etc simply the way they are made purely for adults) then I could see it potentially being really great but I doubt that would ever be the case given the type of graphics used in the series.

minespatch Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 So... Let me guess, was that Emmet as Maxwell? If it was, I totally heard that coming. Props on the voice cast, they did a great job with what they had. This is a wonderful Christmas present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
