Independent Voice Acting & UI Language

[MisterFreeze]

I’d love the option to change the voice acting to a different language but keep the UI and menus in another. I really enjoy voice acting and would love to experience it in other languages, but when the UI text changes too, it makes things a bit harder to follow

A bit of an unusual request. You mean you want to play the game in English, but have the unit outcries in French/Russian/German?

That's exactly that 🙂

Im afraid thats currently not easily possible and is too niche to work on. 

I suppose you could in theory rename all the voice lines in your folder.. 😅

I thought about that initially haha 
no worries that was kinda expected for the reasons you just said

but if you have some guideline on how to get started, I'm all ears 🙂

I have an idea, but I don’t know how feasible it is for you, but I think then perhaps the game would get publicity and attract more people.Could you make the game cross-platform so that you can also play from a mobile device?

In such cases, more people would be interested in the game, since it would be cool to play such a game on a phone; now there is nothing good on a phone.

Do you mean voice lines of squads, like they say hello, when spawned, or jokes about other squads spawned nearby? or also storybook?

Bit off-topic here but regardless;

We are not able to release the game on other platforms (Steam, Switch, Phone, etc). Besides the technical challenges, the BattleForge IP belongs to Electronic Arts. We are just a fun community that was able to keep the game alive. 

I believe people have got the game to run on tablets/phones in the past, but there is no official support for those, and it would be similar as getting any PC game to run on them.

Anything voice-related, just like when you switch the game's language as it is right now. However, there could be an option to have the game text (UI, menus, in-game narrative) in a different language from the audio
