Version 1.5 Notes
Ariane in Paradise is now voiced!
I used AI voice via Eleven Labs, the same I used for Something's In the Air Redux and Date Ariane Remastered. All versions except the Low Res Android version have been updated.
Due to the number of lines, every line has been voiced except some puzzles like the I Spy game. Lines that contain a variable are delivered generically. This is things like lines that include the players name as that is not voiced, but the voice will call you a "friend I met". Text is more important than voice and voice can be turned off by turning the voice volume to zero in Preferences.
Ariane in Paradise is the only one of my games officially translated into another language. The Spanish translation made by Moskys is still in the game and has been updated to work in version 1.5. My testing indicates 99% are translated, though less than 50 "new" lines had to be machine translated. Many of the English lines were rewritten for clarity reasons when I voiced them and found them awkward sounding, but the translations were already corrected for Spanish clarity, so I moved the Spanish translation to these updated English lines.
While text lines were translated to Spanish, voiced lines are still only in English. Eleven Labs does provide foreign text pronunciation (I used it on the scenes where characters speak French), but it takes too much time and money to revoice in Spanish, and I'm not sure there is a huge demand for it.
AI voices are good enough, but not as good as human voice actors, and I recognize that. But I can't afford to hire voice actors, so AI is the way I am going. It adds a new dimension to the game I hope you appreciate.
Other Changes
Besides voice, many lines of dialog have been changed or improved in part to improve the voice lines, but also improves the readability. A greater use of contractions ("I'm" instead of "I am") will be noticeable.
Bonus is easier to reach! The rule to wait until you get 40 achievements to unlock the bonus. Now you just need to reach the "best" ending (the one where the two girls talk about wanting to swim naked) once first. Once you get the ending, you then need to go to "Character" and create a bonus character. You can switch back in Preferences.
The bonus has been expanded in places with about a dozen new pictures and expanded scenes. Several bugs have been fixed as well.
