Hi Muhammed.
Actually the game will be playable with headphones, ---- at least I very
much hope it will sinse even though I do have a set of 5.1 speakers, I stil!
prefer to play on headphones and in fact play very badly with speakers.
But, as shades and other games have shown, you can do a lot with virtual 3D
in sterrio, particularly if you've got a good set of headphones.
Beware the Grue!

Hi Thomas,
I don't know how I'm going to play the game. I mean, I do not have any
speakers. Also, with the Three D features, when we select our fists and
feet, could we a just that so we could hit better? I mean if its at the
leg, could we get our aim even higher and punch or kick to the head?

Hi tom.
Having spent the week betwene boxing day and new years day of Christmas
prostrated with the flue myself, very irritating sinse I had such a bad
sore throat I didn't even want to speak for fear of damaging my voice, so
had to resort to a combination of Typing stuff on my laptop and sign
language.
Eitherway I actually really sympathize at the moment, and am glad you,
Mrs. Ward and your son are now all recovered.
on to games.
Well funnily enough Scansoft Daniel is my default sapi voice for
precisely the same reason, and that also counts using winfrotz tts and
playing muds as well as games like lone wolf or Jim's.
Daniel is of course Tom's british brother, and in fact to me sounds very
bbc news (I did find your description of Tom as a newcaster rather
amusing), so I do understand the reasoning here.
in fact my only problem with daniel is it has preset speaking of
abbreviations which (unlike with orphius), you can't alter.
So I do have to get used to being told I've selected manuscript sapi as
my default voice or that my character has 13 hp 12 mana and two street
(for staminer points noted as st on the display).
All this aside I do understand your use of Tom in most games, ----
however there is one title where I would beg to disagree.
Startrek final conflict, sinse Crystal while not actually! the startrek
computer voice, does sound similar enough to it imho to actually
contribute to the atmosphere of the game.
usually I wouldn't mind a synth voice in games so long as it is a good
one and so long as it's just speaking menues and not playing a character,
but to me playing stfc, crystal actually seemed to be a character, and
made the games' immersion far more complete.
If Switching to Tom for the next version of stfc is a must, ---- fair
enough, but if (sinse you already have some startrek voice clips
recorded), you might considder keeping Crystal just for the startrek
games because of the happy accident of her resembling the computer, ---
that would imho be a good thing.
As you know I'll be looking forward to seeing analogue movement finally!
make it into an audio game, and I'm a big exploration fan so will be very
much looking forward to both mota games.
Also as per my ambience artical, it'll be great to have more music, imho
a wonderful way of showing different environments and parts of the
underground without having to worry about inserting lots of background
details.
Beware the grue!
