Then it’s time to check out NPC Female Priests Vol.1! TK.Projects newest SE pack brings us 120 Japanese voice clips to fill your churches and hospitals with greetings and laughter of the women who work there.

12 different character voices offer up options for multiple ages and levels of belief. Have a young girl give a shy hello from her spot in a pew when your heroes walk by, or a middle-aged woman sob outside to attract your players to talk to her and start a new quest. Soft-spoken priestesses and believers can hum in thought before suggesting blessings to help in combat or cry in joy when your heroes manage to recover the town’s lost relic. Don’t give only your good NPCs' voices though! The fanatic SEs in this pack are perfect for followers of the demon lord or villains who are trying to trick townsfolk into giving away all of their hard-earned money.

Each SE comes in multiple file formats, so you can easily add them to your favorite engine without needing to edit them. Add more voices to your NPC healers and quest givers with NPC Female Priests Vol.1!

Ten-hut! It’s time to add voices to more of the men in your games with NPC Male Soldiers Vol.1! TK.Projects’ latest voice pack offers you another 120 SEs to help your NPCs find a voice of their own. Give your guardsmen cheerful greetings to the people passing through city gates, let noble knights offer thoughtful advice when your heroes need it, and have the kingdom’s gruff general let out a deep belly laugh when an overconfident soldier challenges him to a fight for command!

Each character voice comes with 10 SEs covering a variety of uses, including greetings, angry shouts, concerned sighs, and screams of terror. Let the hellos and hums add some much-needed sounds to long conversations, punctuated with loud laughter or angered grunts when the speaker feels like your hero’s attention has started to wander. Or use the voice clips as audio clues for your players to realize certain NPCs have sidequests to offer. Worried sighs from middle-aged soldiers at the bar could lead your heroes on an adventure to reclaim a prized helmet, and an excited “wow” from a nervous new recruit reading a book in the barracks could start a quest to turn those young men from zeroes to heroes!

Multiple file formats make it easy to add these voices in your favorite engines and use them right away. Fill your guard posts and battlefields with the sounds of living people with NPC Male Soldiers Vol.1!
