-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nolan Darilek Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 10:28 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] Announce: Surreal Horizons Releases Initial TorrentSoundbite Hello. I'm pleased to both announce Surreal Horizons, a new entrant into the accessible gaming arena, as well as the initial soundbite of Torrent, Surreal Horizons' first title. === What is it? Hop aboard your fighter, warm up your lasers and prepare to obliterate wave upon wave of oncoming asteroids and alien ships in this exciting, fast-paced audio arcade-style shooter. For how long will _you_ survive the torrent? === Features This feature list is subject to change and not complete. It does, however, represent current plans for the first public release. * Gameplay is driven by a real 3-D engine integrating physics and positional audio. * Semi-realistic collision physics. Colliding asteroids bounce off each other upon contact. * Positional audio for two or more speakers with velocity-based sound dopplering. * Unlimited waves of oncoming targets. * Multiple target types. Asteroids bounce on collision and may fragment on destruction. Alien ships navigate intelligently and fire back. Power-ups provide bonuses when collided with but are otherwise fragile and easily destroyed. * Special levels. Blast entire waves of alien fighters, guide light freighters through the sector safely for extra power-ups and more. * Compete with others via the online scoreboard. * Joystick/gamepad support, both for navigating the game and its user interface. * Rich, self-voicing user interface utilizing both synthesized and sampled speech to provide the richest in-game interface experience of any other accessible game. * Embedded screen reader and accessible array of in-game user interface elements with keybindings familiar to users of OS X, Linux and/or Windows. * Cross-platform. Supports Apple OS X, Linux and Windows 2000 or greater. === Availability Initial development is nearly complete, and beta testers will be sought soon. Please do not inquire about testing at this time, and watch the community (http://surrealhorizons.com/community) for further developments. An initial soundbite of gameplay has been released. See http:// surrealhorizons.com/2006/11/30/first-torrent-soundbite-released for the details. Best of all, this soundbite was recorded and produced using the OS X version of Torrent. The Linux port is mostly complete, and testing will begin under Windows shortly. Enjoy, and keep an eye on the Surreal Horizons community for future updates! _______________________________________________ Gamers mailing list ..
