Overview
- CEO Patrick Söderlund confirmed some AI-generated lines were re-recorded post-launch because human performances offer higher quality.
- Embark originally used text-to-speech for dialogue deemed less critical to immersion, such as ping system audio.
- The company says it pays actors for studio time and also compensates them for approving voice-licensing used in TTS.
- Leaders emphasize AI remains a production and testing tool, with no plan to replace all AI-delivered lines across the game.
- A separate Discord integration issue that saved private messages locally was hotfixed, and Discord is updating its Social SDK and guidance.
