As some of you know, Mewgenics will feature vocal cameos. These cameos range from friends and family, to iconic streamers, to full-on icons that you all know and love! It's honestly pretty crazy how many people agreed to be a part of this, but before we jump into all that, let's break down what a cat vocal pack actually is. In the game, when a cat is born, it's assigned a vocal pack from the 100+ that we currently have, pitched up or down and locked into place. Every vocal set has a series of vocalizations that are tied to these categories: [list] [*] Normal meows [*] Happy meows [*] Angry meows [*] Sad meows [*] Hissing [*] Purring [*] Being hit reactions [*] Dying (this is where people really get to showcase their VO skills!) [/list] Here is a video of all those meows in action: [previewyoutube=QDLGjwSnJhk;full][/previewyoutube] Speaking of cat meows, this game features TONS of crazy cameos from a lot of people you know and love. A few years back, I mentioned to an Isaac streamer how we were doing cat vocal sets and he asked if he could make a set for us. We said of course, and then started getting DMs from other streamers asking to do the same. Once the word got out and a few pretty significant people were jumping on board, it was pretty amusing to think of all these iconic voices meowing like cats. So, I just went for it and started asking celebrity friends, people who inspired my work, and just very iconic voices to contribute. Nearly every single one I asked said of course and sent me their meows. Now, I'm still not sure how/if we want to showcase all these voices outside of a credits roll list, but I thought it might be fun to give you all a few hints that I may or may not confirm are correct in a later post... Mewgenics features meowing by the following people (and many many more): [h3] 1. A movie director who inspired my work greatly 2. A famous movie/series actor 3. A legendary game developer 4. Someone from the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer 5. A rap icon 6. A legendary cartoonist 7. An iconic religious voice from reality TV 8. A controversial public figure 9. A very controversial public figure (this one might not make it into the final game) 10. A bad movie legend 11. The voice of a classic viral music video 12. A rock star 13. A Newgrounds.com icon 14. A famous YouTube personality 15. A very well-known animator and voice actor... who is weird... 16. An '80s scream queen 17. A spawn of Boognish 18. An internet celebrity impersonator... or is he? 19. An actor so famous he asked me to hide his identity! 20. A popular female podcaster [/h3] But this list is just the tip of the iceberg. There are SO many more amazing cameos from many other people we all know and love... or at least I love them, and that's what matters, right? As you may assume, I'm personally having a lot of fun with these vocal cameos, and I hope as development closes I can acquire a few more fun ones. So if you have any suggestions on who I should reach out to or who you would really want to hear meow, just let me know! I can't end this post without thanking our amazing sound designer Joey Kuras (Earthworm Jim and Roblox OOF SFX extraordinaire) for cutting and editing all of these vocal packs. It's a thankless job, and his time could be better spent making actual in-game sound effects, but without him, this dumb idea of mine wouldn't be possible. As an extra tease just to add fuel to the fire, here is a little video of 4 amazing cat cameos you just might be able to guess... just listen... listen very hard...
