Key artwork for the Speak, DLC! mod project for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds!
I should also stress I take VERY little credit for the work put into this. I only provided AiAi's voice bank and the artwork/promo material. Massive props go to amore/namcom, ArtemisPendragon, and Emasplatter for their continued research and discoveries that made this project possible.
In addition to the project's first release, an intermediate tutorial by team member memo_stardust has been publicized to assist modders looking to use this foundation for voice mods. Enjoy!!

🎙️ Speak, DLC! is out!
A brand new foundation mod project for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, overhauling the sound effect banks of (almost) every DLC character in the game! This project will be progressively updated to support more characters, both current and future!
I do appreciate that they experiment with rulesets and stuff, but the meta is so rigid that a lot of these ideas are just kind of dead on arrival, as good as the intentions are. Hopefully this is providing the devs with good data to see how to shift things moving forward.
I will say, it did feel like good racing was rewarded more here than in LC2, for me at least. Majority of my races had me getting tossed between 4-6th but this final snap on Donpa to secure 1st felt really good. I wanna sharpen my movement to do stuff like this more consistently.
Honestly I really got no strong thoughts for this one. Global QR just kind of accentuates the same problems found in LC2 where the pack is super close, except now it's because everyone is TOO strong against items. It's a needle swing in the other direction that feels equally bad.
LC3 is a mode that exists
Festivals turn off the minimap by default! You can change the game's setting to display the Map instead of Position Info in the gameplay options.

PENNY'S BIG BREAKAWAY
⭐️ 8.5/10
Dude. Yes. FUCK yes. I LOVE MOVEMENTSLOP
I agree with the sentiment that the controls are a bit unwieldy but when you get a proper feel for them you can do some NASTY stuff to get through this game's later levels. It is so, SO satisfying.
PAPERS, PLEASE
⭐️ 7.5/10
Really interesting little game with an atmosphere that is incredibly immersive... to its detriment. This gameplay loop is fucking STRESSFUL and really makes you feel the weight of your responsibilities and the sheer depressing nature of it all.
MEAN GIRLS
⭐️ 8/10
BRO THAT'S WHERE THE SCENE OF THE GIRL GETTING RUN OVER BY A BUS COMES FROM????
IN SOUND MIND
⭐ 6.5/10
It's.... fine? Pretty harmless story-driven FPS. I don't really think it pushed the needle too far in either direction for me, and I found the story pretty rudimentary and unsatisfying for the way it ended. Some neat concepts though.
UNBEATABLE
⭐️ 9/10
Technically beat the story in Dec. last year, but got some extra time to experience Arcade. This is a FINE ass rhythm game with a really profound story and cast. While it's definitely showing rough edges in many places, it's worth your time for the OST ALONE.
2 MONTHS LATE??? DONT CARE. 2026 MEDIA THREAD: GO.
It does! More info here:

An addendum about the new process used for this mod!
MASSIVE Update for AiAi Voice Pack just got pushed!
Users amore and ArtemisPendragon have made a HUGE breakthrough with DLC character voice lines, allowing for complete overhauls of all characters' voice banks!
Virtually every issue with AiAi's voice bank has been solved!
The deed is done.
For those who want an idea of what this grind entailed, here is a detailed summary of statistics collected during my Top 10 run.
Regardless, my experience had many positives that helped make it all worth it for me in the end. I'm grateful for everyone who joined my squad to assist and provided the social/moral support to keep pushing for it.
I'm going to wear that T10 banner proudly and never look back.
