Voice Actress

[GSM]

Who voices Shelly? She's awersome!

[Wendigo]

For Bombshell it was Valerie Arem. I think it's her for Ion Maiden, too, but she didn't mention it on her Twitter.

Intersting. The voice Actor of Dr. Jadus Heskel, A character from Bombshell game & probably present in Ion Maiden is none other than Jon St. John, the voice actor of Duke Nukem.

Who ever it is, the devs made a great choice - she does an excellent job with the character's voice intonations.

[Alyxxandria]

She's a good one.

[Chozo Ghost]

I agree, her lines have a fantastic delivery to them!

Now, imagine her and Duke Nukem tag-teaming against these cyborg baddies...I would die happy.

It's Valerie Arem, but we screwed up and didn't include the updated credits screen in the branch the build we released is from. It will definitely be corrected in a future update.

Anyway, Valerie did an awesome job!

Yes, she did!

Duke can throw down the sexist one-liners to her and she can fire back with the typical feminist "men are all pigs" comeback.

Nice! I'm happy you guys brought her back. I really enjoyed her work in the first game, and it's nice to have that continuity with the character.

Was all the voice work handled by PCB Productions?

Edit: You answered that in the other thread about voice acting. Nice work handling all that personally, it turned out great!

See that's not interesting at all. This was tried in Bombshell, and it just came off REALLY stupid.

[Mr. Christmas]

Now I really want to drive this home: Shelly in Bombshell was, at best, a generic NPC. She was the shopkeeper you'd buy weapons from. Military background, sure, but not memorable. She was AGRESSIVELY mediocre. When she DID try humor it was cringeworthy, borderline misandrist. Who the hell names a weapon "PMS"?

Shelly in THIS game? Well I like her. She's an 80's action heroine to the tee, just like Duke was the male ones. The 80's/90's heroines in those movies were competent and sexy, but not sexist caricatures. I look at Shelly in this game and I think Melina from Total Recall, Ellen Ripley from Aliens. Sarah Connor from *IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S FROM THIS GAME ISN'T FOR YOU.* Storng, sexy women. They didn't ♥♥♥♥♥ it up, but they also very much in control of their feminity. They kept their agency while also keeping their womanhood.

I don't like to say things like this but Shelly from Bombshell? I think she was a gay man's idea of a strong, sexy woman. She blathered about nothing, and she was like Duke, but estrogen instead of testosterone. And you know what? That's not funny. It made her the anti-Duke, and that was weak.

I like the delivery of the lines. I like the scripting of them. Now I wouold make one suggestion: the first time you see a new enemy type? If this is possible, record a few snarky lines and have the game choose at random between them. Like for the guys in robes, stuff like, "Holy crap, I didn;t even know the NRA had a rectory" or what the monks did in the Holy Grail, have her all "pie iesu domine dona eis requiem"

Wepaon pickups are also a great time. A few lines there. You know, "See this? This is my boomstick!" references, but not over the top. Let's pretend each encounters the first boss of Duke Nuke, Where Duke says something agressive and macho, "I'll rip your head off and ♥♥♥♥ down your neck" maybe Shelly could say something like "Depth perception, look into it!" or "Can;t blame you for being so angry, really. Looking like that jerking off is probably your only option, but then they had to go and take your hands away."

Duke is confrontational, egotistical. Shelly seems to me more.. snarky; taunting her enemies into losing their cool.

[Mr. Christmas]

Snark when things are getting rough, and confident assessment during the second to second events, I guess. Givne my shakey hands I can;t get much beyond the part where the GDF building falls down, but so far I think Shelly has the confident assessment thing locked down.

Shelley's a professional, I feel like she'd probably just ignore Duke.

I think she'd snark and then ignore... was my first thought.

But no, you are correct; shelly's professional enough to know that someone like duke would take umbrage and thus lose combat effectiveness. Sure she'd WANT to deflate him, but they're working together against a common enemy and infighting would be useless.

[Paullo]

If the rights issues surrounding Duke ever get sorted out, I think an "uneasy alliance" type game with the two of them forced to work together could be really funny. Duke reminds me a little of Archer (from the animated TV show); he knows he's cocky, goofy and kind of an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but he also knows he gets the job done and looks good doing it. I think it'd be great to see someone like him bouncing off a character as cool and collected as Shelley is; someone who doesn't exactly like him and finds him a bit ridiculous, but has to sorta respect his results.

...I guess this is kind of a tanget; what was this thread about again?
