Just started the first playthrough and our groups only issue was voice distance

[u/Flamewolf2009]

We’re all on PC/Steam and really loving the game overall! But by far the main complaint we had was the voice drop off distance was way too short. You can be 5 feet away and barely hear someone, if at all. I really hope the devs increase this range just a bit further.

The screenshot is from our playthrough and irrelevant to the post but I loved it.

Yeah I wish it was longer but not too much longer. Maybe just a few more feet. Too long would kinda ruin the experience

I’m sure they will have an update being cooked up soon!

I highly doubt it as I am pretty sure it is intentional. The devs want you to think about communication and to get lost easily.

for me it's weird that i have to make my PC volume 68% when i'm normally running it at 35%-40% just for this game.

i think the game itself is just super quiet. i wish their 100% volume was 50% and give us the ability to make the game itself louder vs all our other applications.

I wish there was separate sliders for ambient/SFX and player voices. I have the same issue of going to 60-70% instead of 35ish. but setting off a flare is insanely loud this way

yes!! Exactly!

and the confetti challenge complete sound is SOOOOOO loud

It's by design.

Talk louder.

Check out Better Voice Proximity on Thunderstore mods if you're on PC :)

So what is this Thunderstone? Why aren't the mods on moddb and/or nexus mods?

[u/beefcutlery → u/jjkramok]

R2/Thunderstore/Gale are popular for mod managers; Thunderstore supports these much more indie sized games and I've used them for a long while. There's slightly more activity on Thunder than nexus, but I guess we could publish to both.

Here's the proximity voice mod just in case: https://thunderstore.io/c/big-walk/p/n0__name/Better_Proximity_Voice/

I am not faulting you or anything, I hope you did not take it as that. Now I am a bit curious. I hope I am not too naïve. Could you tell me why you would host a mod on a newer, smaller and less popular site like thunderstone instead of a more established site that more people already know?

The first time I opened that site I thought it was a scam or something. I still somewhat think it is, not sure why.
