Austin @ JumperScape

Thank you, Halo community. Through the last 2 years, you believed in us and collaborated with us enough for Halo themselves to take notice and have us run the Community Corner all weekend. Here's to more opportunity in the future. We'll miss you, HCS family!

Step into the extraordinary world of Wildwood. Now playing only in theatres!

I’m going to cover this once, because I’d rather spend my time building this thing than debating it. Yes, there are AI voices in my project. They’re placeholders, and I’m not apologizing for them. Placeholder voices are used everywhere in game development. You just don’t know it, because you never hear them in the finished game. I’m one person adding features Halo never had, like squad orders, ambushes where your marines wait for your shot, and calling in dropships. The original game has no lines for any of that. So I perform every line myself and convert it to a voice clone, and the marines sound like themselves in every new moment. It’s the best way to hear what this would sound like if the original actors voiced it. I also have a moonshot idea. With Asha Sharma running Xbox and Xbox Labs exploring new ideas, if this project does well enough, there’s no reason it couldn’t get real talent like Steve Downes (Master Chief), Jen Taylor (Cortana), David Scully (Sgt. Johnson) and Tawnya Pettiford-Wates (Foe Hammer). That’s what we like to call a pipe dream. As for AI hesitancy: a lot of it is just gatekeeping. It shuts out people who were never going to hire anyone in the first place. Nobody is losing work here. I’m not a company cutting actors out of a budget. I’m a guy who loves Halo, building the game I dreamed about as a kid.

Happy to talk Parasites Wake a bit if anyone's on the fence about reading it

You gotta love how ex-Catholics/Christians use Arbiter dropping his beliefs in the Covenant in Halo 2 as the foundation for why they left the church. I've seen people tweet about this, but they have it all wrong. The Covenant is not based on Christianity or Catholicism. The Covenant is quite literally based on Islam (nonbelievers are vermin who deserve to be wiped clean from the galaxy) and they literally have PROPHETS leading them. And their "falah" is considered a journey (The Great Journey). It couldn't be more obvious. Halo 2 was developed during the aftermath of 9/11, and so the story was rooted in patriotic militarism and protecting what we value most. Something to consider for anyone who thinks they have life figured out without God. You're not above the mysteries in this life that can only be revealed by the almighty Father. I will continue to pray for nonbelievers regardless.

While all of these Halo decompilation and MCC launchers are really cool, I see segmenting of the Halo player base that's going to end up undoing a lot of the success MCC eventually gained uniting players. Hoping I'm wrong, but can't shake the feeling with the current trajectory.

White marine NPC comments about John’s height ✅ Woman Commander comments about John’s height = bad, woke, trash ❌ The biggest problem with the Halo Community… has been and will be specifically the angry, racist, bigoted edgy white and/or white passing people.
