v0.50.2 23 October 2026

The narrator, quicker and never cut off

• Performance & tools

• Slow narrator: the narrator was slow because his lines were generated at a speed of 0.92. The game never slowed anything. His recordings now play 12% faster with the pitch kept (8½ minutes of narration becomes under 8), and now asks ElevenLabs for 1.08.
  • To re-voice just him at the new pace: (add --speed 1.15 to choose your own).
• Skipped lines: the voice-over could skip lines. Only one line could wait its turn, so a newer one replaced it, and v0.50.1 also cut the last step's instructions short when you moved on. Now:
  • lines wait in order (up to four);
  • instructions always finish their sentence;
  • only a joke or a reaction is ever cut short, and only by a new step's instructions;
  • a queued line belongs to the step it was queued in, and is dropped once you're past that step, so nothing is ever said late or out of order;
  • a sudden event (Aldric going down) clears the queue;
  • Aldric gets his hello out before the skeleton cuts him down (within about 35 s).
• Tutorial test: 44 checks, including one that the story is told in order.
