Here here! I couldn't agree with you more Tom. If and when I start attempting to learn a programming language you can bet that I won't be writing many Space Invaders games if indeed any at all. We've already got way too many of those. And Nichol, I have to disagree with you about Dark Destroyer. I beat that on my first try. Me, I'd love to see an RPG like Zelda or Final Fantasy or ann FPS style game like what Metroid Prime was. Of course I'd love to see a Metroid style audio game but something like that might be difficult to render in audio. I'm not sure how you'd represent platforms above or below your current position although I see no reason why it couldn't be done. I suppose you could do it with pitch bending (I think that's what they call it), where a higher platform would have a higher sound versus a platform below you having a lower sound. Now a Prince of Persia style audio game might be pretty doable since all the action I.E. sword fights, jumping, climbing and stuff is all happening pretty much in the same position as the player. And in a game like that you have great potential for some truly incredible sound design, especially when it comes to the traps. Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Sunday, May 18, 2008 2:24 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] space invaders versus star trek strategy game
