Re: Poll for upcoming robot battles game: Text to speech or voice files?
My suggestion for voicing is to either use the robotic SAPI5 versions of Mike and Mary that already exist, or better yet, put your own robotic effects on some already existing TTS voice that sounds better, hopefully with both male and female options for players.
I know that your worried about file size impacting the final game's data footprint, but you could use a pretty compressed format like OGG and tailor it to the right quality without much trouble with something like a SAPI voice.
Also, for a game as complex as you're saying this one will be, I doubt people will mind a large size.
This would favorably impact the theme of the game, and could be added as an additional download, with screen reader support being the main method out of the box.
