Awesome story and themes - the competition was good and the 1st place was well deserved.

The 'voice synth' is insane.

Yeah the voice is really awesome!

Wow, what an improvement on the synth!
I missed the actual compo and kept hearing about this one.

Video? I doubt an emulator will do this one justice.
yeah

Sometimes the soundtrack really surpasses everything the visuals could have done :)

First time I'm pretty unsure ... the speech synthesizer is very, very great ... and so are the visuals ... but the overall concept doesn't really appeal me ... gotta wait for a final version (as mentioned in the .nfo) to decide on a piggie/thumb

shockwav3: if it DID appeal to you I'd be worried.
the voice

According to the nfo file, it was optimised for VICE and doesn't run very well on the real thing.

oh wow that was sick, the speech synthezis is just ridiculous
rulez added on the 2009-09-21 14:59:12 by noby noby
I have to point out to all that it's not actually SYNTHESIZED speech per se, but viznut's voice that is sampled.
added on the 2009-09-21 15:00:43 by visy visy
visy, yeah people dont seem to bother on reading the nfo files :)
added on the 2009-09-21 15:07:26 by nosfe nosfe
And the 'synth' is helped by the text a fair bit. :)

Interestingly, somehow viznut has the ability to make the texts and voices sound so familiar. "Poppish" in a way. I could swear I've heard "Glooooory to the human race" said with very similar sound somewhere..

Memory expansions off, true drive emulation on.

You can also watch it on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wySLybwQ0iw
Select no memory expansion in the setting
Thanx...works now.

viznut is right.

the speech synth is awesome!!

The voice synthesis is just unbelieveable.
It no longer requires subtitles for total understanding of what it's saying.
Hope to see a new song.

I'm ashamed for not knowing your VIC 20 prods since yesterday (i only knew "progress without progress" and "dramatic pixels" cos i have a C64... but not a VIC 20)
and \o/
You're a genius (or a robot)!

Those are digital samples. Not synthesized speech. Read the nfo.
