"Dispatch, an interactive superhero workplace comedy from Adhoc Studios, is an ambitious project. The story has to balance comedy and personal drama, the animation needs polish worthy of a high-budget TV series, and the cast must be strong enough to support the lofty vision. When creative director Nick Herman and director Dennis Lenart were looking for a lead, one actor stood out above all the others: Aaron Paul, star of Breaking Bad and Bojack Horseman. There was just one problem."
""I mean, we never thought Aaron Paul would do this," Herman said when I interviewed him a couple of months back. "You know, you put together the dream list, and he was at the top." Still, their casting director, Linda Lamontagne, thought she could get a hold of him, Herman says. She had a feeling he'd connect with the script, and once he took a look at some scenes and the art style, he was down."
""I just feel so blessed to have been a part of [Bojack Horseman] from its conception, you know, when it was just six pages of development, and then it became what it became. But what I really loved about that show in particular was: it's a comedy, and it's also very much a drama, you know? Follows real-life issues. And that's what Dispatch really has in spades.""
Dispatch is an interactive superhero workplace comedy that balances comedic moments with personal drama and character-driven stakes. The project demands animation polish on par with high-budget TV and a strong cast to support tonal shifts. Aaron Paul voices Robert Robertson, formerly Mecha Man, whose suit becomes unusable after an accident and who now serves as a dispatcher sending villains-turned-heroes to handle crimes, fires, and emergencies. The game uses bright colors and a comic-book aesthetic to keep the tone light while allowing for emotional depth. Casting director Linda Lamontagne secured Paul after he connected with scenes and the art style.
