About The Choicer Voicer

History

Hello! YeahMaybe here, the creator. The Choicer Voicer was sparked by a sentence uttered on December 10, 2023, by the streamer Vinny Vinesauce:

"Chat. You know what we need to do? Someone... someone out there who can make video games, needs to make a new Choicest Voice."

I did not know how to make videogames. I'd dabbled in game development on and off for years, but never finished a project. However, I was, at very moment, experimenting in the video game engine Godot. Specifically, on a Vinesauce fangame that never made it out of the experimental phase, called "Mister Roger's Gas Station."

What interested me far more was attempting the feat Vinny suggested on that VOD. Flying by the seat of my pants, I put together a proof-of-concept on gameplay inspired by The Choicest Voice--a minigame from an old Mario Party title which has been popular for the comedy that can come out of it. I originally designed it as a one-off meme game for Vinny, one that would have 30 or so hard-coded meme audio clips.

Thankfully for everyone, including myself, I was keen on future-proofing the concept. Wanting the ability to add more content down the road, I researched how to load custom files at runtime. This began the concept of The Choicer Voicer--a Vinesauce fangame that evolved into a broad-appeal game for anyone. Why customize just the voice packs? And so, the menus, the studios, and more became customizable content. My zeal for customizability has taken its toll, but I would still do it all over again (albeit with better code practices...).

It has been a joy to see so many people play and love something I created. I cannot thank everyone enough for granting me this opportunity that, frankly, I may not deserve. I have so many ideas still, yet struggle to put them all together. But I hope that the future holds great things. And thank you Vinny, for the inspiration, acknowledgement, support, and laughter.
