:) Ive found my way around it - the dream sequences - the voiceovers are played before the actual animations and soundtracks start, and I used dehisser on them and the results are really good this way.

What might be done is the intro sequence with the book etc. Having a clean voice and using some track as a background. Not sure if you want to try that :) But Ive spend some time on making that as good as possible, its now much better than the muffled sound from the Rhymers video. I used Pangos cleaned version and I added new drums prelude to that instead of the original extra bad ones. Plus I added one orchestra hit towards the end. In the middle its just Pangos work.

Ive spend whole day on all the sounds. But indeed, that one sequence can be much better still...

Hmmm... can you produce a script, and a copy of the animation? I might just give it a shot, but I don't know if my voice will be grandiose enough.

Here are the new vids to see

Its a community effort, most of the new vids are done be Phredreeke, imperial palace prelude vid by MasonFace, I - King of Worms did the Dreams (ofc :lol:) the intro video is by Rhymer. Pango provided the cleaned sounds. I put it all together, videos, sounds etc

Im not sure how the internet conversion adjusted the vid and sound quality tho, hopefuly not much:

Intro
https://streamable.com/k1gzb (new intro and outro)

Dead
https://streamable.com/o009d (remade the sound towards the end, same as original but cleaner than cleaned sound)

Dreams (almost complete remakes with new music, created from upscaled still images)
https://streamable.com/o271k
https://streamable.com/7vmnr

Lysandus awakening and speech and ghost
https://streamable.com/bxyz2 (sound is now in sync with the vid, was off in original, and reduced volume to match the rest of vids)
https://streamable.com/d7h9c (adjusted the volume of intro synths by 6db, was too low volume)
https://streamable.com/p7cb0 (just used what Pango provided)

Books (here I adjusted some volume and a hiss in some of the vids, but mostly its based on Pango)
https://streamable.com/gdqii
https://streamable.com/wdg89
https://streamable.com/3wrnj
https://streamable.com/229vr
https://streamable.com/nxoo1
https://streamable.com/gi2qm
https://streamable.com/cs16u

Imperial palace prelude
https://streamable.com/4dj3x (used a thunder instead of generic wind)

Yeah, It just needs a good voice actor... I wonder if we could find one on fiverr or something...

Happy to see the commoners faces once again :)

I did some tweaks on one of the paperdoll shields. Its crazy that to do one shield u need to edit like 80 files...

I also found another bug there, the deadric axe... its red when u equip it (thats ok) but its silver when its in the inventory...
Will need to test it some more...

But damn... I just played Heretic on GZDoom engine, you select xBR upscaling, number of iterations (I selected 6) and it upscales whole graphic in real time and its beautiful plus it runs in 4k with 100s of frames per second .. here we do this crazy stuff with 12000 files for just one static screen :? Hello, anyone home? *crying*

And it doesnt work properly anyway... there are white lines in some places because the stuff doesnt fit by 1pixel here and there... I honestly hate this. I really do.
