This issue is being addressed. There are now multiple fly sounds,
eliminating the probability of the same sound being played at multiple
sources.

If you decreased the fly sound, you'd trade easier localization for less
range in hearing the loot sound. I personally like the way it is, even
with
the disorienting effect of the flies as they are. It's a challenge to
situational awareness, to keep track of potential enemies while finding
the
individual items.

I'll pass this suggestion along to Kai. As it's a sound issue, that is
his
department. :)
With the graphics I knew that no matter what the sighted players would
have
an advantage in some ways, so I tried to restrict them in others. So
rather
than making their situation easier it just makes it different. In close
range they will have an easier time, but at long range the blind users do.
Oh. It's good to know the range. That
makes me feel a lot better.
Also, this is the first game that my friend and I agree
gives pretty
much the same info to the sighted and blind player.
I must as a question, or perhaps suggest a change. He and I
both agree
that, when you're in a huge loot-grabbing situation, the
overwhelming
number of the flies makes it very, very difficult to hear.
Now, I
understand that this might be a point of game balance.
However, I
wonder if the sound could be changed from an epic,
Amityville Horror
style swarm of flies to a few flies buzzing around. When
you get any
more than three loot spawns in the same spot, it sounds
like you're a
beekeeper with them buzzing inside your ears as well as
out. I like
the idea of flies, though, because it's a lot more of an
environmental
emersion than, say, beep, beep, oh "loot!"
