Summary

Magicave, a UK-based game studio, has announced "Beneath The Six," a turn-based roguelike game featuring an AI narrator developed in collaboration with ElevenLabs and actor Tom Canton from Netflix’s "The Witcher." The game combines exploration, character progression, and combat, using digital dice to generate unique characters and worlds. Magicave and ElevenLabs emphasize protecting voice actors' rights by licensing the AI voice to Canton, allowing him to retain ownership and use it freely in other media. "Beneath The Six" is part of Magicave's dNo digital hobby franchise, which focuses on collectible digital dice, characters, and worlds, with development shared publicly through previews and playtests. ElevenLabs, known for its innovative text-to-speech technology, collaborated on the project to enhance the gaming experience through context-aware, high-compression speech synthesis.
