Gah, I meant to front-page this, but I was traveling the last time you posted and it slipped off my radar. These are really cool, and I definitely look forward to hearing more!

I'll get these on the front page tomorrow. Promise! ;-)

No worries at all! I'm honored and glad you like them. I just figured maybe grimoire wasn't everyone's thing :)

I would have liked the gunshots heard in Thorn 2 to be the in-game Thorn audio, but other than that I like it.

feedback welcomed.

ok then. I love the idea of this and of spreading around the story content. However there is so much background noise and voice modulation I have a really hard time understanding what words are said unless I read along with the cards. Maybe the way I'm listening to it is not optimal environment for this?

Ohh, thanks for the constructive feedback! It's best to listen with headphones, maybe see if that helps? I'd love to know if other people have this problem too. Can you let me know which cards specifically have this problem or are you thinking all of them are difficult to understand?

Mixing audio is hard.

I really like the Ghost Fragment: The Last Word one (that's why I embedded it!). It's well-performed and I think you nailed the ambiance. Love the crackling fire, rain, and music. Matches the mood very well. So good!

My least favorite part across all of these is actually the Superintendent-esque introduction that reads the card's name. It somehow seems out of place and is generally hard to understand. I think it's good to have the name up front, but maybe it could just be the main voice actor/actress stating the name? Either that, or something clean and out-of-the-way, just enough to give you information without getting in your (?ears) face.

Please keep these up, I'm enjoying them and it's fun to hear someone else's interpretation of the Grimoire content. :)

Thanks! Great feedback! The Last Word is the one card where, amazingly, a pro voice actor actually volunteered to do the voice of Shin Malphur. So I'm guessing that's a big part of the quality being much better. Many of the rest are me, and I'm no pro. As for volumes and such, I had no idea people were having a hard time understanding these. Also very good to know about the intros. I'll see what I can do to fix those.

I'm guessing you didn't like Ghosts and Echoes since it was mostly the Superintendant-esque guy talking the whole time? :)

Yes, this! I loved the ambiance, & it was so well done. What was that music, it was from Myth, yes? To counter the mixing criticism, the mixing/balance/levels/whatever sounded pretty good to me (on my bose headphones). The background did not interfere with my ability to enjoy & understand the voice actors.

Likewise, the only thing I don't like about these (pretty much love everything else) is the intro voice. Maybe I've listened to dinklebot too much, but I feel it's too expressive and also hard to understand. I feel the 'ghost' intro could benefit from being toned down a little bit and also be a little less processed/computerized). I do like the fact that the computerized introduction is consistent across all cards, that helps to tie them all together, so I vote you keep the little intro guy.

Please make more, I really enjoyed the ones I've listened to!
