vdub_bobby Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) Awesome! Very cool; I like the music and backgrounds especially, and the enemy spinning his pole above his head is a nice touch. The sound effects are a little unsatisfying, though. Here are some screenshots: Edited March 7, 2007 by vdub_bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, kein Steinwurf, aber doch recht nah dran So, jetzt mal wieder "back to english", so our english friends can understand what we are talking about... I noticed there are quite a few germans around here...Seems vintage console homebrewing (especially 2600) is quite popular in this country... i wanna try to code something for the 2600 next, looks like a funny machine to work on..

Watch any Kung Fu movie for inspiration. Most of the talking would happen between rounds. Lots of boasting and taunting type stuff. You can throw in some Bruce Lee yowls and such during the fight.

You can get more natural-sounding voices with a *lot* of experimentation. A LOT. I spent over an hour trying to get a reasonably natural-sounding "Go fish" for a 2600 game.

Bruce Tomlin Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Wow, this is so cool. A post-crash style fighting game done with vector graphics. You must finish this game. It is a moral imperative. FINISH HIM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mos6507 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 If you just use the defaults you get crappy results. You have to approach voice synthesis almost like sequencing music. Deal with it one phoneme at a time and tweak the pitch and the timing on every syllable and you should be able to make it more natural-sounding. It's also important not to take the phonemes too literally based on the spelling of the words. Use whatever phonemes work for the accent you want to do.
