GroovyBee Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Can you at least make it say: "Chicken! Fight like a robot!" By your command! botztalk.rom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 By your command! botztalk.rom LOL! I know it's just a joke, but if you intend to use it, you may want to refine the allophone for the "a" between "like" and "chicken," for it sounds like "aim." Other than that, awesome! -dZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Oooooh, I hope he stays....my 2 cents. Maybe add a nice hat for the running man :-) I also vote to keep him, although it would be nice to see him adopt some new moves...moonwalk? Backspin? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpmaul69 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) i dont have the prograams needed to make an animated gift but made the motions for rotating arms and base. not trying to step on any toes, just thought it might be a working idea.

+grips03 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'm in. Can you add a joystick test program to this rom if there is room. Something to validate directions, keypad, and buttons for controller 1 and 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't spend long on it and I was surprised to get anything out at all. The game's real phrases will sound much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good! They are different to the animations that I've implemented. Don't worry, no toes have been stepped on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to validate directions, keypad, and buttons for controller 1 and 2. Sorry, but I'd rather use any free ROM space for adding things to the game like extra sounds, music or graphics/animations. I could do a small run of controller test carts but its not high on my priority list at the moment because I'd have to sit down and write the test routines first.

Don't worry, no toes have been stepped on. yeah without having seen your robots move i just dont know how you were thinking of doing them so i figured it didnt hurt to throw in some other ideas. I am not sure about what kinda person your main character is but you mentioned scientists so i was thinking how to implement the running man in a lab coat.

GroovyBee Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Second attempt. Sounds good on the real thing as well. botztalk_25_04_13.1.01F.rom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I seem to recall Joe working on some sort of program that could take a sample wave file and transcode it for the Intellivoice, using an LPC-10 encoder. The results were rather effective. I think he was planning on saving it for his next game, but perhaps he'll share the code? It doesn't hurt to ask him. -dZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to stop experimenting with speech for now but I have a process that gets close results but it has a manual stage followed by listen/edit/listen/edit.... I'll most likely write a Windows tool to help with the manual conversion when it comes time to put speech in the game for real. I'll put that out for other people to tinker with when its done.

mdoerty Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Put me down for one too when the pre-ordering starts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Looks awesome! Is this going to feature 2 controller use by chance? Left disc moves your dude, right disc allows firing in all 16 directions or swappable for them southpaws? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonner and I are still deciding what will be in the game. Hopefully, there will be some updates at the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_intv Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Any updates in the pre ordering time frame? Now is the time for me as the $$$$ situation is good for me at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll still be adding updates as the game evolves in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
