We Hear You

About the Sims-like Voices in the Game. We want to share a little more about the Sims-like voices in the game. From the start, our idea was to give each character a small emotional identity, something warm and familiar. That’s why we experimented with Sims-like voices created by a program. It was a small stylistic choice meant to add charm.

We didn’t realize this type of Sims-like synthetic voice might feel distracting for some players. We hear you, and we understand!

We’ve already contacted a voice studio and will soon begin our first tests for real “Sims-style” voices. If the results feel right, we’ll gradually replace the temporary voices in the game. The goal is to bring more emotion, warmth, and variation to every character, so their personalities feel even more alive, happy, sad, surprised, thoughtful, and everything in between.

Thank you for telling us how it made you feel. Your feedback helps us shape the heart of this game.

If you have any problems, please contact us at support@vanillaskyproductions.com

Thank you! More updates are coming soon.
