Development Diary May 17th - We Don't Talk About The Dead

Hi! It is my turn to write a DD for CK2 and it is about something that perhaps we don’t mention that often: Audio. Or more specific for this entry; Death Screams & SFX. For the new expansion I got an important task, it was to create new sound effects for executing characters and also create assets for other ways different characters can die in the game such as falling off a balcony or being mauled by a bear. So basically for this task I did a bunch of research to see how cruel people were back in the days and how “creative” they could be when executing people. I needed to create a lot of “gore” sound effects so to achieve this I went out and did some grocery shopping.
The leek and celery were to recreate some “sweet” and intense bone cracking sound effects while the pepper and salad were to create a “slow crushing” sound effect. The big problem for this task was a major one; Screams. And a lot of them. So I took the opportunity to do some internal auditions and invited co-workers to the torture chamber aka sound studio. Another challenge was to get people to sound like they are… dying? I got to do a lot of “dummy” recordings where you could hear me die in different ways, and some of these recordings made their way into the expansion as well, so my co-workers could get to “dub” me or have some kind of a reference. I’ll not tell you who is dying, that is up to you to guess. m/ Here we have a female version of being impaled: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08Tdun5nhUo Here is a version from the Spanish method of garroting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L37MOstNKIM There could be a few hunting accidents: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79_YnsBioGs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNB9J_TLnAs Or sometimes people went kind of extreme with burning people: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0fHNZm4BTk Few causes when people were thrown down into a nasty pit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ebJ0PtimBw Or just want people to suffer really hard before dying: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smzvpm5YBeA A bonus video of our dear CEO trying out for a role: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBgfkrMGWvw Read the original post [quote]Useful links Official Website Crusader Kings II Wiki Developer Diary Archives[/quote]

The Dark Ages might be drawing to a close, but Europe is still in turmoil. Petty lords vie against beleaguered kings who struggle to assert control over their fragmented realms. The Pope calls for a Crusade to protect the Christians in the Holy Land even as he refuses to relinquish control over the investiture of bishops - and their riches. Now is the time for greatness. Expand your demesne and secure the future of your dynasty. Fill your coffers, appoint vassals, root out traitors and heretics, introduce laws and interact with hundreds of nobles, each with their own agenda.
A good lord will always need friends to support him. But beware, as loyal vassals can quickly turn to bitter rivals, and some might not be as reliable as they seem... Stand ready, and increase your prestige until the world whispers your name in awe. Do you have what it takes to become a Crusader King?
Crusader Kings II explores one of the defining periods in world history in an experience crafted by the masters of Grand Strategy. Medieval Europe is brought to life in this epic game of knights, schemes, and thrones...
