Designing a massively multiplayer online role-playing game around text-to-speech
نویسنده
چکیده
CircumReality is an experimental massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that relies on text-tospeech for both narration and non-player character speech. A game-oriented text-to-speech engine differs significantly from a text-to-speech engine targeted at telephony or mobile devices. This paper discusses some of the differences, such memory and download-size requirements, voicetransformation requirements, voices with personality, licensing fees, and player-created voices.

In huge online games where great numbers of players can be connected at the same time, social interaction is complex and conflicts become part of everyday life.
