I have plans to review it in a YouTube video too.

Just need to find time and ambition at once Smile
Thanks vm @grymmjack. Sounds great! I found your first impressions of the game from June here (#4) and you liked it a lot back then. Make sure to set the game difficulty to Easy since you're a Rock Jockey rookie.  Wink  And good luck finding that time and ambition. 

I'll post a slightly updated version of the game that gives a message if you try to steer wrong by moving the mouse up and down - not side to side - and sets the default difficulty to easy (since some find it hard to play).

EDIT: Added the new zipped folder below.

I had better luck landing the ship in v2 than I did in v1.  Big Grin

QQ: What did you use to generate the VOs?


RE: Rock Jockey 2.0 is ready for action - NakedApe - 01-05-2025

Excellent, a740g, I'm glad it worked for you - and nice flying!

MacOS has a built-in speech synthesizer, and I used a free, little app called "Speech" from the Mac App Store. The voice is US female "Samantha." Type in what you want her to say and save to file. Then I used WavePad Masters Edition to edit the VOs and all the other sound files...  It was a fun project and I learned a lot!
