Voxalike Judge Mods: Setup, Creation & Workshop Guide

Voxalike Judge Mods are presentation-focused customization packages for the judging screen in Voxalike, the free browser dubbing party game developed by yours1. When a dub finishes, four judges appear and react to the recorded performance. A Judge Mod replaces how those judges look, what they are called, how they label results, what they say, and how they sound — all without touching the game's actual scoring system.

Judge Mods were introduced with the Version 1.2.0 update and share the same Workshop ecosystem as Dub Mods, so players can discover, rate, and install them through the standard subscribe-and-install flow. Because Voxalike runs entirely in the browser with no download required, every Judge Mod installation lives locally in your browser rather than in a game folder. Whether you want a panel of stern critics, a cast of meme characters, or judges themed to match a specific Dub Pack, a Judge Mod gives the result sequence a completely different personality.

For the official specification, see the Voxalike Judge Mods guide and the Version 1.2.0 devlog on itch.io.

Every Judge Mod can provide custom content for the four judge positions shown during the result sequence. Each slot is independent, which means creators can mix one heavily customized judge with three lightly styled ones, or give all four judges a fully themed identity. The customization layers stack: artwork sets the visual cast, names and labels set the tone, and feedback lines plus reaction sounds give each judge a distinct voice at every score tier.

Score tiers are the backbone of a good Judge Mod. Each judge can respond differently depending on how the performance was rated, which means a single pack can hold many unique reactions. Plan your tiers from the weakest result to the strongest so every possible outcome gets a purposeful response instead of a generic one.

Installing a Judge Mod follows the same Workshop flow used for Dub Mods. The key concept is the split between an account subscription and a browser-local installation: subscribing adds the item to your account, but the usable copy must still be downloaded and installed in the browser you are currently playing on.

Building a Judge Mod is a content-creation project, not a coding project. You prepare assets, define how each judge behaves at each score tier, package everything in the required structure, and publish it to the Workshop for other players to rate and install.

Judge Mods and Dub Mods serve different purposes inside the same Workshop ecosystem. A Dub Mod supplies the playable content — scenes, characters, roles, and dialogue — while a Judge Mod restyles the result sequence that follows. In multiplayer rooms, the host's selected Dub Mod matters most for content synchronization: players need the host's mod available locally before the shared session runs correctly. Judge Mods, by contrast, act as a presentation layer on the result screen and never alter how performances are scored in Co-op rooms of up to 12 players or PVP rooms of up to 8 players.

Before a room starts, participants ready up once the host's required content is installed and microphones pass Mic Check. Pairing a Judge Mod with the host's Dub Pack is an easy way to theme the entire session, from the first recorded line to the final judge reactions.
