Addition of NPC voices

Some days ago I came up with a funny idea of giving NPCs greeting-voices that could play when talking to them. Similar feature is nowadays in almost every online RPG but Gekkeiju has been lacking them (and quite many other sound things too).

As a hobbyist indie developer I cannot just go and hire some voice actors so I decided to start an event that allows our game's community members to record and submit their voices and then possibly get those added in game. Even during the first week I already got several good ones so it seems like this was a relatively good idea.

I don't know how many of our players are aiming for some industry where having their names in some games' credits would be useful but I still offered that option to the ones submiting the voices. It'll always help them to boast to their friends if nothing else :)
