I've been messing about with this for a while and it works well enough now that I'd rather people had it than it just sat on my drive. It's an unofficial mod that lets you play The Choicer Voicer with up to 4 people online.

Everyone records on their own mic on their own pc and it stays in sync. One person performs at a time, the host clicks through the dialogue for the whole table, and the scores get worked out in one place so you're not all sat looking at different numbers. It does the normal game show and dub mode, where you take turns on alternating clips and then watch the finished thing back together.

Windows 0.5.1 only. 

There's no game files in the download. None at all. It's an installer that takes the copy you already bought, on your own pc, patches it and builds you a modded exe next to the original. Nothing in it lets anyone play without owning the game, and everyone playing has to run the installer themselves. Don't pass the built exe around, that's the whole game and it's not mine or yours to hand out.

Your saves and voice packs don't get touched either. Both exes sit side by side so you can still launch the normal game whenever you want.

Two things catch everyone out, so sort them first. Everyone needs the same voice packs, so copy the host's packs_voice folder round to everybody. And the host needs UDP port 7654 open, or use something like ZeroTier or Tailscale and connect on the virtual IPs instead.

Everything's here, source and instructions and troubleshooting:

Some people's antivirus flagged an older version. That was my fault, the installer used to download python itself and run it, which is the same shape as a dropper. That's gone now. The download is a folder of text files, about 100kb, no exe in it, so you can open it in notepad and read the lot.

A note for YeahMaybe

This is your game and it's your call. If you'd rather this wasn't public I'll take it down, no argument and no hard feelings, just say the word and it's gone. I can make the repo private and pull the pages the same day.

I've tried to keep it respectful in the meantime. No game code or assets are in the download anywhere, it's my netcode plus some patches, it only works on a copy you already paid for, and it's free and always will be. If there's anything in there you're not happy with, or you'd rather I worded something differently, tell me and I'll change it.

And if you ever fancy proper multiplayer in the real game, everything I did is open and you're welcome to any of it.

Cheers for making it. It's a great time with mates.

Does it work on the newest windows 0.5.2 version

I'm almost finished with a multiplayer mod for choicer voicer as well, 

it uses steam's API for peer to peer connection, so no port forwarding needed. It auto syncs pack files so no one needs to download and extract packs, the host just clicks play and everyone has it! once all the lines are recorded, you can all watch it together live in synch as the host has a master button to play the final product. It also takes advantage of the character system so you can see your custom character of whoever's turn it is. 

I'm like 99% done and just need to stress test it and work out some bugs.

Almost ready, I'll post in the forums very soon

lmk when this is out 

Can't wait for this one

is the multiplayer for the dub part of the game?

Yes, its only for the dub part of the game

In your mod, will it be possible for each voice actor to voice only their own characters, rather than taking turns delivering all the lines?

Currently you can assign yourself a character, but the whole "turn based" part is sort of the nature of the game, so you know what is going on during the scene, and hear their voice line before recording yours. 

just curious if it'll work with linux

same question
