There's going to be a smugglers 5? What do you know about it? I liked smugglers for what it was but I got bored with it at the same time because beyond the storyline there wasn't really anything else to do. No form of manufacturing, real trading etc that sort of thing.
Yes we are in need of some far bigger games, I'd love to see castaways for example on a much larger scale. A far bigger map and with more to do as in resource building more defending etc. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of dark Sent: 09 August 2012 13:45 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Mapping, item collecting and puzzles in games Hi Darren. I've actually never played elite, far too much text and too spacially complex, but I'd love to, indeed I'd really appreciate a complex space game in audio. i can actually enjoy audio games like shades for their atmosphere,even if the exploration isn't what I'd desire, indeed it was the atmosphere of shades that impressed me first off and got me interested in audio games, however I do agree larger, more complex games are needed, it's just a shame they're also harder to create. though by the same tocan we do have a lot of more extensive games now than when I started in accessible games, thanks to people like Jason, Phil and Aprone, I'd love for instance to see Aprone do a second, more complex castaways as that is by far the best stratogy game I've ever played, and absolutely the sort of single player, reactive interesting experience I'd like to see more of. As to text, well one of the problems is that tthe if community, who you'd expect to be the first people to work on text games, actually have an avertion to anything rpg like or with mechanics, much less anything open ended and strategical. I am hopefull though of what will be created for the portable device markit, sinse gamebooks and other text games are on the up at the moment. also, it's worth remembering that as far as specific space games go, smugglers 5 will be coming out this year, and niels has promised more gamebook like, open ended gameplay and to avoid the rather dragging middle section that made s4 so problematic. I'll also add that while Ce is great, I'm quite impressed with alter in it's exploration system and attention to single players and the general experience, rather than jkust multiplaying. The only thing that alter lacks for me are other activities beside go and kill stuff, or at least refignments such as hunting or randomly generated quests, but maybe Dentin will add such things in the future. Beware the grue!
