🔊 Quest Voice Integration Guide

Last Updated: Jan 8, 2026 02:30 CET
Status: ✅ FULLY INTEGRATED

---

🎯 FEATURES

Quest System now automatically plays voiceovers for:

• ✅ Quest start dialogue
• ✅ Quest progress updates
• ✅ Quest completion dialogue
• ✅ NPC-specific voices (future)
• ✅ Emotional reactions (future)

---

🔊 HOW IT WORKS

Automatic Integration:

When a quest is started, updated, or completed, QuestSystem automatically:

1. Shows text dialogue (on screen)
2. Plays voiceover (TTS audio)
3. Syncs subtitles (with audio)

No extra code needed! Just define dialogue in quest data!

📜 QUEST DIALOGUE FORMAT

{
    id: 'q001_kje_sem',
    dialogue: {
        start: ["...au glava... kje sm?"],      // Plays on quest start
        progress: ["Še {remaining} da konč!"],  // Plays on progress update
        complete: ["Včeri sm bla tam!"],        // Plays on completion
        onVoice: ["Ana's voice..."]             // Special events (optional)
    }
}

🔧 TECHNICAL INTEGRATION

QuestSystem Integration:

// Quest start
if (quest.dialogue && quest.dialogue.start) {
    this.showDialogue(quest.dialogue.start, quest.npc);
    
    // 🔊 VOICEOVER: Play quest start dialogue
    if (this.scene.voiceoverSystem) {
        const voiceKey = `quest_${questId}_start`;
        this.scene.voiceoverSystem.playVoiceover(voiceKey, quest.dialogue.start[0]);
    }
}

VoiceoverSystem Methods:

• playVoiceover(key, text) - Play TTS audio

💡 ADHD-FRIENDLY DESIGN

Why voiceovers matter:

• ✅ Audio + Visual = Better retention
• ✅ Emotional delivery = Stronger connection
• ✅ Accessibility = Dyslexia support
• ✅ Immersion = Kai feels ALIVE!

Slovenian dialogue:

• Feels personal/authentic
• ADHD-friendly (short, punchy)
• Emotional reactions (DAAAAJ! OH SHIT!)
• Player connects with Kai

---

🔮 FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS

Planned:

• NPC-specific voices (166 NPCs × 3 lines each)
• Multiple voice actors (Kai, Ana, Gronk, NPCs)
• Emotional variations (happy, sad, angry, scared)
• Dynamic pitch/speed based on context
• Voice modulation in water (underwater effect)
• Echo/reverb in caves
• Walkie-talkie effect for radio dialogue
