Recasting, And Unfortunate News
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.

wait so is this why i cant download the game? bc you removed Bo's voice? (or am i misunderstanding things)
very sad to hear the news! I hope the reception doesn’t discourage you from casting less “traditional” voice acting in the future. I loved Bo’s original voice, I thought the VA nailed it.
Why not make a female version of Bo for them to voice? They have a sexy feminine voice from what I heard from there twitter.
Make them a cat! They can have fun back-and-forths with how much they hate eachother.
Not gonna lie, I didn't like the original voice tbh it was off-putting and didn't work. No offense to the original VA, but this just wasn't for them. Good luck to them and their future endeavors
I felt the same. Their voice is nice, but it just felt awkward with Bo. I hope they find a role that suits them!!
Sad situation but in my eyes it was inevitable as good as Glass is her voice didn’t fit Bo like one might’ve wanted. Still sad to see her go and I wish her all the best.
I'm sad that it's come to this, I genuinely liked the original Bo voice. I hope the old version of the game will still be available, at least on Patreon?
I hope I'm not being rude in asking, but what was the controversy with Bo's previous voice actor? I've been busy with work so I'm a bit out of the loop.
Nothing wrong with the VA themselves just the voice. To alot of people, it sounded too young/feminine and was a bit off-putting for the NSFW stuff.
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!
I hope things go well for the ex-voice actor.
what a shame. I know what you were going for but sometimes things don't work out.
I wish you nothing but the best of luck for you and your future. Remember to pace yourself and take regular breaks
I remember when I first heard Bo's voice I was a bit taken aback but I saw what you meant to do. Very valiant effort I must say. I was even converted from dislike to loving the VA's rendition of Bo. But as it goes, "sometimes it just doesn't work out." I wish luck for all you great people.
