This is kinda addictive:

Used a different mic with this one - not sure if it's better or not.

Nice, love the rendition of "Me Likes to Club"!

I want to play too, but I can't find the texts! I looked in the place DarkGod indicated but there's no "chats" directory as far as I can tell. Where exactly do I find these on a Mac?

It's a bit of a bother getting into the data files on a Mac.

1. Right click (or Control + click) on the application
2. Choose "show package contents"
3. From the window that pops up, navigate to Contents/Resources/game/modules
4. You should now see the file "tome-3.9.34.team"
5. Copy the file to another location, such as the desktop
6. Rename it "tome-3.9.34.zip" (choosing to keep the .zip extension in the window that pops up)
7. Double click it, which expands the archive, creating the folder "tome-3.9.34"
8. From the folder "tome-3.9.34", go to "data", then "chats"

After the folder is created, I usually keep it around to check on spoilers and code, and delete the .zip file that I created to clear up the clutter.

Thanks, never would have figured that out on my own...

I've set up a spreadsheet here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc ... E&hl=en_US

It's populated with the lore titles and a few notes. Needs the dialogues added too.

bump for more!

I'll start adding them in once we have more, because a few here & there would sounds a bit weird IMO

[darkgod]

More! I command thee!

Bump for glory

How about using a Text to speech (TTS) ?

It can read all the text...

That's actually what I first thought of doing (http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=28685) but I found out there are people who volunteer for voice acting which is significantly more realistic sounding. TTS might be good for placeholders but it cannot emulate emotion, at least not without tags that mark specific sentences to be read using a different voice package. Also, even if there was a perfect sounding TTS, there are many characters in the game and we might want unique voices for them. That's quite a lot of work.
