Hi there,
Castaways 2? Didn't know you were working on a new Castaways. Can't seem to
find it on your site - still under development?
Cheers.
Damien.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] preludeamals (way too much fun)
Thanks John. Yeah I didn't really push Preludamals very much, because as a
puzzle game I knew it would have a smaller audience than say, something
where you run around and shoot stuff. For me though, this type of game is
tons of fun, and I enjoy working my way through the puzzles. I'm glad to
see some renewed interest, and new people enjoying the game.
Preludamals is actually a prequel game to Lunamals. The style of game is so
different that you wouldn't normally consider it to be part of the same
series, but I have a habit of doing that with my connected games. Daytona,
Castaways, Paw prints, and Castaways 2 are all extremely different (well C1
and C2 are not terribly far off from one another), but all take place in the
same universe. I've never been a fan of making sequel games that are too
much like the original, because it then takes something away from that
original. I want to give a whole new experience instead of rehashing what
people had already played.
On the topic of graphics to included sighted players, I do agree with what
has been said so far. As John said, many developers are using tools that do
not allow for graphics, but also there are some who just choose not to do
it. I am a big supporter of including primitive graphics, at the very
least, in all of my titles... with the exception of Obsessive Compulsive,
because it was written in BGT. Even if the only people you are helping end
up being low-vision players, I believe having those high contrast graphics
helps them use what they have. If you can hear in stereo you want the games
to be in stereo, and if you have even some faint vision, you want to be able
to use it. Maybe more developers will start going that route. I know Rocky
(relatively new on the development scene) has been putting a lot of work
into primitive graphics for his projects, and I encourage him to keep it up!
