neotokeo2001 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Very cool. Are you going to change the mazes as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Very cool. Are you going to change the mazes as well? V No. I can't follow assembly enough to make a change like that. Just a graphics hack with sound samples, and maybe AtariVox+ if I can add it in without breaking the game. A small title screen like in Berzerk VE would be nice also.

bikeguychicago Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 You should switch between Daleks and Cybermen. I was going to suggest the Face of Boe in place of Evil Otto but he's an ally. Also, The Doctor needs something... like a big hat and a scarf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, The Doctor needs something... like a big hat and a scarf Sorry, not knowledgeable enough to switch between Daleks and Cybermen. I do, however, like the hat idea. A lot! Let me know if anything is broken. To do: Probably going to 32K so it can be really chatty. Titlescreen. Already designed, but I may be too newbie to hack in a 48-pixel routine.

neotokeo2001 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Here is a more sci-fi gunfire sound. You can change the player, enemies, background and logo colors to whatever you would like. Any suggestions? Dalek Berzerk B BIN: Dalek Berzerk B.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Here is a more sci-fi gunfire sound. You can change the player, enemies, background and logo colors to whatever you would like. Any suggestions? Dalek Berzerk B BIN: Dalek Berzerk B.bin Thanks for all the ideas and actual hacking! I like the gray player so the Cyberman is silver. I need a changed player shooting sound. I like what you have, but wish it wouldn't go down in pitch. The Doctor does not ever use a gun. He has a Sonic Screwdriver that emits sonic waves. The waves break up the enemies, or maybe the frequency causes them to self destruct? I need a sonic wave sound. The game should start with Selection 2 so the Cyberman gives chase, but can be zapped back to the start. Selection 6 has the Cyberman, but zapping it doesn't affect its chasing you. Berzerk was made when Atari had the first version of the game set to easy. (Which is the opposite of E.T. which starts at the hardest selection!?) I am probably going to 32K which still keeps cart making easy, but will allow more speech and I'd like to try to have other enemies, maybe Cybermen with a chasing Dalek? Anyway, I've just started this hack, but the nice thing about a hack is you can share a playable game right away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 The sonic screwdriver was used to disable the emotion inhibitor in the series...causing them to self-destruct unless they manage to re-enable it shortly afterward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mos6507 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Nice hack. It would be cool to use both samples AND the Atarivox+. I don't think that's ever been done before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tron Unit Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'd go with gray if you are going for the Tom Baker 4th Doctor look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly cause 99.9 percent of the time the good Doctor wouldn't carry a gun let alone use one (but he has once or twice over the last 50+ years).

Shawn Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'd go with gray if you are going for the Tom Baker 4th Doctor look. Tom Baker is the only doctor. The Doctor's since are just emulating and those before him where just laying the ground work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack was always out for #1 at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerf Herder73 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Teaser screenshot! Hmmm, blue pants or gray??. Grey, please. The Cybermen in Tom's era had a more blocky heads. The one you've got is very good but is more representative of the recent versions. Edited February 4, 2015 by Nerf Herder73 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iesposta Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Newest build in first post. Changed player colors. Still looks like The Doctor or Freddy... Changed Cyberman. Play Selection 6 (recommended). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDS Games Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Wish this was out when I was a kid! The samples are fantastic. Maybe go with an overcoat and scarf look? And an upright sonic to look like less like a gun? Edited February 6, 2015 by CDS Games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And an upright sonic to look like less like a gun? BerzerkFourthDoctor.jpg I'll try an overcoat look. Great idea. Thing is, the colors slide up and down a bit depending on player position, so you need to design something that minimizes this behavior. I'm just making a fun graphic / speech hack. I wish I could add more advanced things, like K-9! Starting from scratch I'd have the limitation of batari Basic multisprite which has 5 sprites, or DPC+ which has 10 sprites, but it would be a long time to get something playable, plus SpiceWare is making "Frantic" which will be Berzerk/Frenzy with updated graphics and "speech without blanking the screen!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sodarun Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Just a Idea , maybe have a k-9 icon appear and it would clear the screen? Also is it me or the daleks never shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
