Unfortunately, to be blunt, we are re-casting the role of Bo.
I say this bluntly, because it is partially sad to me. It is a decision I, JambeeBot, take with the utmost failure. I do not like firing people, and I do not enjoy failing to live up to the expectations voice actors deserve. But I have come to this decision in updating DachaBo.
We originally had a series of re-recorded lines to insert, but I've decided that these lines just do not make the cut. I've decided to recast Bo in order to make sure EVERYONE may equally enjoy this game.
Originally, I wanted to see if I could open our hiring pool to female voice actors, so I could expand my ability to help/hire and give a boost to even more voice actors. I also wanted to experiment with non-traditionally masculine and somewhat androgynous voices.
I've been aware of the comments mentioning their discomfort, though. And I apologize for not more quickly recasting. I take it very personally when my work not only causes someone to be not comfortable, but uncomfortable. And our attempts to rectify this has been long in the works, but I "fire" people with a very heavy heart and did not have the courage to let someone down.
At the end of the day, we all experiment. However, I believe fanservice should be for the fans, and want no divide in comfort level. Thank you all for your feedback thus far.
We have found Glass Shards a similar caliber role elsewhere, so in the end I'm very happy that now we will soon be accepting a new voice actor into the fold as well as remaining close to Glass, who is an amazing actor who ultimately didn't suit this part.
The next update to this game will feature:
- An NSFW+ mode
- A new, masc voice actor
- And some general quality improvements.
Thank you all so much for entertaining this project thus far, and I'm very excited to improve upon the parts of this that don't work quite right.

while i totally understand the decision to recast, i gotta give major props to glass shards. it's fucking hard to alter how others gender your voice, so i recognize the effort she put in.
i get people's hang-ups about her voice as this role, as she's (probably) not gone through male puberty, and for a male character that tends to raise flags for a lot of people. i'd initially been surprised at the way bo's voice sounded as well, but i'd kinda assumed that he was intended to be trans/voiced by a trans va, since he obviously wasn't intended to be a child.
(it was a little weird to go to her twt and see "she/her" in her bio, since if that really was the intention, y'all could've just cast a trans va, but ultimately i thought she'd done quite well and wasn't all that mad at it)
can't wait to see where glass shards crops up next, and i'm excited to hear bo's new voice!
