Keatah Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 This is awesome, I would definitely buy this game! I implore you to have support for AtariVox+ so we can hear "Hey AirTaxi!" and "Pad 3 Please", that would be amazing! That is badass ridiculous!

+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 That's awesome!! I'll definitely be keeping a watch on this thread for developments. :-) Keep up the great work! Actually my current plan is to include speech even without the need for AtariVox+. Since I'm going for 32k, I will have the ROM space to add "Hey taxi!", "Thanks!", "Up please!" and similar samples directly. While such a sample is played, visuals will be reduced to a minimum however, probably only showing the border of the playing area, the taxi, and the passenger.

Can you elaborate a bit on how you would add speech samples without utilizing the AtariVox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylearan Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Can you elaborate a bit on how you would add speech samples without utilizing the AtariVox? The idea is to use the 4 bits auf AUDV0 (and maybe adding a 5th bit by using AUDV1 as well) to play back digitized samples. With some tricks (and sacrificing quality, which for speech should be okay), I hope to be able to stuff some very short samples into one 4k bank. Tjoppen did some great pioneering work here, sources included. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissCommand Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I would really love to see this come about... Space Taxi was one of my most favorite games on Commodore 64! (I was even mulling it over about how to design it in Batari Basic... yours is way cooler!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
