Hey, all. I hope someone can help me. I am programming an RPG style game and using MS Agent as an in game narrarator. I have a good handle on this, but I don't know how to design my own character. Does anyone know how to do this. Microsoft's Merlin is cool, but i want to incorporate a completly original character. Thanx for helping.
I don't think it's easy to make that sort of stuff... so your best bet would be searching the net for some more of that stuff...
Thanx, Jotaf, but I am an artist. I really do understand the basics, I just need to know what to draw and where to put it. Remember, nothing worthwhile is easy...:D :cool:
well u could use tiles
The "real" game companies hire people and recorded their voices in prerecorded sayings ("Ow!", "Hey, come over here!", "Look out!", etc.). While I don't think you'll pay people ;), you could get some friends to do voiceovers...Quote:

Do something simple like they did in Theme Hospital, and code it yourself. The API they use is huge.
wait what is this thread about first i saw narrarator on the topic and then i saw drawing on one of your replys?
He means the Agent character that pops up. You know, the visual part =).
I believe that MS has a tool set on thier web site (take a look over on the Agent developer site on MSDN) for making agent characters.

Wait, now I'm confused :confused:
Do you want the visual part, or the voice?
Like he said, he wants to

design my own character
I thought you could play just the voice, without having to show the character :)
Forget the voice! =) He wants to make a new character!

hey why don't you just use the voice of that same api, but draw the character completely in-game instead of using that big-ol' microsoft thingy?
If you want just the image, capture it with PrintScreen or something and display it by yourself :)
MS has a tool on their website, which you can use to design own chars and to edit their voice.
I dunno where they have it now, just search for AGENT on microsoft.com

Pretty easy to use I think, I once made a character out of this: :D smilie :)
Finally, you guys start to understand =).
