This was super fun to record! Please check out the mod! #fnv #modding #voiceactor

Since 'Westside Story' is beginning to resemble something playable, perhaps even something WORTH playing now, I intend to ramp up a bit of an ad campaign in the form of occasional YouTube dev logs. For this purpose I'd like to ask: what are some things that *YOU* would like to learn about the mod?

Legitimately in awe of how GOOD the voice actors I'm working with are. Assembling levels and quests is cool, writing dialogue and prose better, but to witness it all come together, come to life, thanks to their performances? That's what I fucking do this for!

PSA: my best friend Connor's looking to establish himself here while preparing to publish his time-travel-themed cyberpunk novel, the quality of which I can personally attest to! We've also been working on something together you'll very soon hear more about... #writersky #WritingCommunity #Writing

Just occured to me I should probably put the va teasers / demo clips for my quest mod (Westside Story: A New Vegas Noir) in a thread to keep things organized, so here goes...

Another VA showcase! youtu.be/vYL_zCGPtII?...

In lieu of remembering I have an account on this app, I might as well formally announce that my 3-year project is finished and out on the Nexus! www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mod...

Aww, he thinks he's people 🤭 First of a string of short character teasers I'm going to be releasing over the course of the next month or so (which also double as demo reel material for my actors!) First off: WhatAzzySaid as "Puppy". youtu.be/YSGJVtd4g8w?...

Old post but hell with it, I have Ash to thank for kickstarting my interest in music production (he used a stinger in Lucky Jim’s Cache) therefore I must relentlessly shill as well 🫡

Absolute must-play for any self-respecting Elon hater

Started using every available minute of free time to crunch on my quest mod right after getting out of the latest exam period & suddenly caught a nasty cold - could my body be trying to tell me something? No, it's the change of the seasons that's at fault. Anyhow, here's a glimpse of a WIP level

youtu.be/5RySmwFSipo?... Someone mentioned VTMB to me last week, so in accordance with natural law I've reinstalled it and am doing a Toreador run (wanted to do Nosferatu but chickened out because that sounds stressful)

Babe wake up, Nexusmods logged you out of your account for no reason again (third time this week)

My buddy @ashtonlouis.bsky.social has just released his magnum opus after 3 years of development! Go check it out! www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mod...

This first round of auditions was a massive success, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated! Almost all of the roles are now cast, with 3 exceptions that I haven't gotten around to yet due to lack of hours in the day. Gotta say, this modding stuff sure is a lot of work...

Just a little over 24 hours left before the deadline runs out and I start assigning roles - if you'd like to apply for this round of auditions, please make sure to do so before then! The second round likely won't launch before late spring / early summer. #vo #va #voiceover #voiceacting #fallout

They told me pursuing a history + literature degree would be a bad career move, but how else would I be able to put obscure references into a mod for a 16 year old video game that I am going to make 20 US dollars off of, huh? They don't teach you that in business school 😎

Ladies and gentlemen, the first casting call for my Fallout: New Vegas quest mod is live, featuring a wide array of roles waiting to be filled! www.castingcall.club/projects/wes... #vo #va #voiceover #voiceacting #fallout #indiedev #modding #gamewriting #falloutnewvegas #gamedev

I'm sorry to keep spamming your feed to death about these auditions, but FYI: I have moved the deadline forward to next Saturday, the 21st of February, on account of the high volume of submissions. Roles will remain open till then though, so do keep the lines coming!

PSA: I added two more roles today! Keep 'em coming, folks!

Do you have a microphone & are looking for something to do this weekend? Why not submit an audition for 'Westside Story: a New Vegas Noir', the hottest detective-themed Fallout quest mod to come out this year?* *Possibly also the only one, haven't checked #vo #voiceacting #vo #voiceover #indiedev

Soon...

An early heads-up: either this month or in March I am going to launch the first of at least three public casting calls to see about getting my upcoming Fallout: New Vegas quest mod's dialogue voiced, so keep an eye out for that if you have an interest in voice acting!

sometimes i think about that thing a disco elysium dev said in response to someone asking why choosing fascist options lowers your morale. that being a fascist is miserable, since it requires you to believe that you are being dominated by the weak and unworthy in everything you do.

Woe, NCRCF remake upon ye New mod release! www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mod...

English capitalization rules are utterly fucking stupid and arbitrary and make no sense (said in the voice of a man going through a 300-page script fixing capitalization errors on dozens of instances of what he *thought* were proper nouns but apparently aren't)

Had a little scare earlier today because the Google Doc for my mod project's script was suddenly 10 pages longer than I remembered it being only 3 or 4 days ago an I feared I'd messed up the formatting, but turns out I simply did 10 pages worth of writing without even registering it? Fine by me.

Tried a non-alcoholic beer for the first time in a while today and am now convinced breweries only make that stuff to convince people they should rather drink the real deal instead. Literally tastes like carbonated rust water

The beta build of Project Winchester has received an update this morning thanks to a random burst of modding motivation. See the changelog for more. mod.pub/fallout3/81/...

The Living Desert v2.7.3 is now available for download on Nexusmods: www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mod... #modding #falloutnewvegas #fnv

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

In the throes of the final™️ editing pass, feel struck by how weird & esoteric this quest is. Incredibly elaborate conversations and scenes built out of / around literary quotes and excerpts that spoke to me, all for an optional side quest for my noir detective story. I didn't *need* to do any this 😅

Not even a month since rewatching Synecdoche New York and I think I'm in a mood to feel sad again, so rewatching The Master (2012) tonight to remind myself of what a devastating loss Philip Seymour Hoffman's early death was

NGL, this sounds a good deal more interesting than what we got in the final product. Westside in particular could've used some more love... but then again, the lack of substantial content makes it a good blank canvas for enterprising quest modders 😎

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

A sneak peak at some of the hundreds of lines I implemented today! This quest in particular will feature a plethora of colorful, loquacious characters and more literary references than I bothered to keep count of. #gamewriting #falloutnewvegas #gamedev #indiedev #modding

Not an artist in the traditional sense, but when it comes to level design (or rather, environmental design), I think I have a very strong grasp of atmospheric lighting. It's the part of the process where things start to come together, and I'm able to do most of it entirely intuitively.

A small update for TLD is coming this week, addressing some minor issues and mod conflicts.

@ashtonlouis.bsky.social just released a trailer for his next upcoming quest mod. I had the pleasure of playtesting an early version and can confidently say that this is one to keep an eye on #fallout #fnv #modding #indiedev youtu.be/47MvmXTHrIE?...

It's invigorating to take breaks from your projects sometimes. Spent much of the last 2 months getting back into playing the guitar & watching a ton of films rather than working on my mods or even playing games & am so much more focused & productive now that I'm getting back in the swing of things

Leute LIEBEN es sich von copilot helfen zu lassen, bei Fragen wie -wie deinstalliere ich copilot -copilot deaktivieren -warum copilot in editor -entferne die copilot schaltfläche

I appreciate how little pseudo-humanist spinwork is being put on the events in Venezuela compared to Iraq; no more empty talk of democracy and human rights and fictitious weapons of mass destruction; they no longer need to pretend they ever gave a fuck, because they can expect to get away with it.

After years of resistance, I fear that I have slowly morphed into a Letterboxd guy. I'm actually writing multi-paragraph film reviews rather than just dropping detached, pithy one-liners now. Suppose it was this or inexplicably getting into ornithology.

It's only the 30th and there is already a constant barrage of firecrackers going off outside. Someone just triggered a car alarm right outside my bedroom window at 11:40 PM on a workday 😎 what a beautiful and sensible tradition, great for pets and wildlife too

Not really feeling an appropriate amount of existential dread about the impending end of the year, so gonna rewatch Synecdoche New York tonight and think really hard about my failure to live up to my creative aspirations in the 6 years since I last watched it, wish me luck 🤞
