How can DHBM be saved?

[Filadae_Djaq]

…no

@Myeong

expensive

@Commander-Rex

voicematching would be hard since there are some characters like Woody who are very hard to imitate voice wise

(Or Genie)

[Spark]

Doesn’t Magic Kingdoms have voices?

[Imagineer_V]

It is an idea… but yeah it would not make sense to do.

I think saving the game in this way is hard to do because everyone has different reasons for playing the game. You have to be aware of the audience as a whole when creating content, especially new stuff. Mickey’s Ten Commandments #1: Know Your Audience. Yes, they actually exist. Marty Sklar created them.

@Filadae_Djaq

(Or Genie)

Yes. Unless you were doing more of a Will Smith inspired version, who is easy to imitate usually.

But for the respect of Robin Williams, I would not accept it. He is the only true Genie imo.

[Myeong]

Also… DH:BM doesn’t really have a lot of places where full-blown voice acting would be super appropriate anyways, since most characters don’t even actually speak.

[Tragic-Magic]

Written Content is not really an issue since it got REMOVED BY PB FOR THE FRIENDSHIP REFRESH. The friendship mission updates expanded the friendships so well IDK why they had to be all removed.

[Mister_Toon]

What about the occasional conversation in the regular campaign and in the friendship stuff?

[Imagineer_V]

I am not just talking written content though

[Tragic-Magic]

Oh, whoops.

What were you talking about then?

[Commander-Rex]

I guess the friendship campaigns or the regular campaign would fit it. But yes, you have a point.

[Imagineer_V]

Content as a whole my friend

[Lucas1999]

@Tragic-Magic

Written Content is not really an issue

I don’t think @Imagineer_V was talking about text. What she might mean is that fixing the game would be different for different kinds of players who demand different things from the game.

Edit: @Kira has a great topic on this idea. I’m going to try to find it

Edit 2: Found it:

Community fun: Player types

Hi, I thought it could be fun to ask what kind of player types people here are and share opinions between us how we go about the game and such. Happened to start some talk about player types in a private group chat where each of us saying what type we are, so thought it could be fun to expand it out into the forum itself so more people can join in if they are interested :-). The Player Types: Achievers: One who enjoys the competitive aspect and/or completionist aspect. Seeing their overall pow…

[Tragic-Magic]

Ah, ok.

Because the visuals and music shouldn’t saving this game.

[Commander-Rex]

@Spark

Doesn’t Magic Kingdoms have voices?

And yes, they do. Some of which I believe are even voiced by their actual VA’s, like Mickey being voiced by Bret Iwan. Overall though, @Mister_Toon it is a fun idea but you know, just not sure it could really save the game. And it has some issues that would need to be ironed out.

[Tragic-Magic]

I think we’re all getting off topic here.

So I’ll ask y’all a question:

Is it possible to introduce new gameplay mechanics?

• Yes
• No

This doesn’t count for new heroes/debuffs

[Imagineer_V]

@Lucas1999

What she might mean is that fixing the game would be different for different kinds of players who demand different things from the game.

Exactly.

People who are here for the story want more story.

People who are here for the Disney characters want their favorites in game.

People who are gamers are there for the fighting aspect.

The list goes on and on and you have to think of everyone. Kind of like how lands in Disney parks are carefully articulated and designed for every type of demographic.

[Filadae_Djaq]

It also depends on how the voices are used…

[Myeong]

@Imagineer_V

I think saving the game in this way is hard to do because everyone has different reasons for playing the game.

I honestly agree with this. For a game like this, it’s very easy for people to have wildly different priorities depending on things like what characters they like/want to invest in, how competitive they want to be, how much they may want to spend on this game (if any), etc.

There are obviously ways that the game can be improved for everyone, but even so, not every update or improvement is always going to be meant for everyone.

[Monarch_Mummy_V]

How about a creep dummy? You can only choose 1 character to test things, like Scar for example to see how much damage does it take depending on the level

[Mister_Toon]

Imitateing wouldn’t be too hard. There are alot of people who can do some of them.

Jim Cummings- King Louie/Pooh/Tigger/Darkwing

Dan Cantellantela or Jim Meskiman- Genie (honestly i like Dan better)

Jeff Bennett- Merlin

To name a few.
