Echoes of the Void: An Unscripted Star Citizen RP - Part 1 (2024)

I'm fairly new to Star Citizen and thought it would be fun to do an RP (roleplay) series on the game from the perspective of a new player.
The Story:
Lying unconscious, I wake up on Clio, a moon of the planet microTech in the Stanton system. I have no memory of what happened, but discover that I have an experimental version of the mobiGlas containing an AI copilot named Charlotte, who helps me make sense of my predicament.
This series is completely unscripted (except for the loose backstory), all in 1st person perspective, and features a real-time, fully voiced AI copilot using ChatGPT and a superb voice package from ElevenLabs.
Star Citizen is still in Early Alpha at the time this video was created, so I will try to navigate any weirdness or bugs to the best of my ability while keeping the series as immersive as possible.

Finally, a roleplay series with a fun story. So glad I discovered this.

Interesting video

[@fizplaysgames]

Hopefully in a good way. 🙂 I think as I do it more and get more comfortable with it, it should get more entertaining!

[@wablin-goblin]

I found this pretty entertaining. I think this could end up a pretty good series. I got into Star Citizen to experience the role playing aspect of the game.
I humbly request a couple cinematic shots intermingled. It may help bring some visual life to your story.

[@fizplaysgames]

I was really wrestling with whether or not I should do cinematic shots for two reasons. The first is that I was aiming for the whole “you guys are in my head” immersion. Second is I didn’t want to spend too much time focusing on the external narrative and camera angles etc. which I thought would take away from the realism of how I’m doing this. Thanks for the feedback though! I will definitely consider it if I find it’s too flat without it.

@@fizplaysgames It’s best to hear what the vision is directly from the creator. I’m a fairly new player as well and it was nice seeing it from a beginners perspective. I liked the AI implementation also. Added to the story telling and world building.
I’m happy to be at the beginning of this series and look forward to seeing the rest of it come to fruition.
If you need an extra body for something in the future, I’d like to toss my hat in the ring. I’m all about the RP and immersion.

If you're looking for player actors to add to the series, I would be honored to Join. I'm sure many more would as well.

[@fizplaysgames]

Thanks for the offer! My playtime is pretty sporadic and super early mornings EST time so it would be pretty hard to schedule, but if that changes and I feel like it would be feasible I will definitely let everyone know!

[@hunter4hire]

@@fizplaysgames sounds good I'm on PST so 3hrs later is doable, I joined ur discord group, so let me know via dm, if you plan on recording and want an "npc" or reoccurring character. I'm down for whatever.

Not first this time, but at least I’m here before Timmy! 😁

[@fizplaysgames]

I think he has given up lol

Love the RP videos made using SC. The exposition dump from amnesia is a well worn trope, but gives a nice way to introduce new people to SC. Since your other channel is roblox based, this is a good intro for them to learn about SC if they are coming from that channel.
You can turn off the "entrance markers" as seen with the "seat" in the beginning when walking up to the bike. Or you can keep it on and accept it as just part of the in-game tech.
Only constructive criticism I have for you is to try to put a little more emotion into your speech. Feels more like you are just talking to yourself. Which is exactly what your character is doing, but feels a bit humdrum. Amp it up a bit more like if you were in a telenovela or soap opera. Never go full soap opera though.

[@fizplaysgames]

Thanks so much for the feedback! I hear you regarding the emotion. RP is definitely alien to me, and I default naturally to speaking like I would in a normal let’s play, which I’ve done a lot of in the past. Definitely need to be more conscious about that in future videos, haha.
Regarding markers, yeah, I lean towards having them be part of the tech for sure.
