Re: death match a new beginning v3
Re: death match a new beginning v3 ... because, y'know, we've got plenty of evidence on here to ban most drama queens on here. Seriously, you're not wrong about one thing. We are, I think, extraordinarily tolerant, as a whole. I see this in the character of a gift. It's a shame people misread that, and add fuel to the fire, or take advantage. A shame. We're just trying to help.To reiterate: this doesn't have to be about anybody on this thread. It could be forgiven, if we all play nice. What I absolutely refuse to allow for is yet another thread at the top of New Releases to descend into embarrassing farce. If this release is no more, then let us have debate on why not. Or else all this simmering back-and-forth is wasted effort. Cheers.

Re: IOS Audio Game Hub 2.0
Well, what exactly are you trying to challenge? At risk of asking a silly question. If the sounds are distinct, sound sufficiently high-tech and relate somewhat to bombs, code entry or whatever, then I shouldn't have a problem. The only condition is that the sounds have known positions, which you can either announce verbally ("this sound is the top left...") or which can be discovered, much as now.

Re: IOS Audio Game Hub 2.0
Re: IOS Audio Game Hub 2.0 I like the black jack dealer. She sounds very amused all the time. I think you should combine "Bomb Disarmer" and Simon into the same game, as different modes of play. They are, after all, the same game! And please allow Bomb Disarmer to use sound packs; the DTMF tones are really hard for me to distinguish, not to mention uncomfortable.For "Memory" and anywhere else this applies, please try to mimmick VoiceOver. Once a box is selected by dragging, double-tap anywhere means double-tap that box. Ditto the corners; once swiped or tapped, now double-tap anywhere activates them. Otherwise you've got to carefully double-tap in the exact same spot you found them, which I find to be quite hit-and-miss.Edit: thank you Raygrote, that helped a lot re the DTFM and I can see how that makes sense, also thanks Jack for pointing out the differences between this and Simon. I still struggle, and believe as it's not core to the game, there should be at least alternative types of beeps. Simple tonal sine waves would work OK for me.

I don't care how well you're getting on with your victims, although I suggest you start apologising to them. As far as I'm concerned, if you did indeed "hack" Red Spot, or steal the code, then it is no more against the code of conduct of this forum than your clearly established involvement in unauthorised distribution of UltraPower, and if we discover that you are in fact responsible, you will be banned. We really do take accusations of piracy and unauthorised access very seriously. Developers work hard to bring us games, and hacking is clearly illegal behaviour. You got lucky twice.

Re: One-Button Travel: Time-Travel Sci-Fi CYOA By TheCodingMonkeys It's iOS and I couldn't find the Android port, which I imagine is because these guys are iOS devs.Yes, the Lifeline games read, but there's less convenience because it's not self-voicing. It works, if you flick about.Apple wins the gaming crown on iOS, but not on Mac. Android has far fewer games, but Windows picks up the slack. On the other hand, contemporary games are far, far more likely to be mobile, and my personal experience finds me playing mobile a lot more than desktop nowadays, even with a Windows virtual machine on standby.

It's a concrete time-travel sci-fi story, which, like many recent games of this type, tells an unravelling story by means of a text-based, real-time, multiple-choice-answer chat session. Our protagonist (that's you) finds himself a time-traveller in an uncertain future, whose only companion is another user of the same app who has travelled in time before him.Although this was faintly amusing, I didn't finish it. Maybe when I'm in the mind to put in the effort, I'll give it another try, but the truth is that it has essentially no puzzles and doesn't pull many heart-strings. If you fancy a weird, down-to-earth time-travel adventure, give it a try, but I probably won't be keeping this on my device. You'll be happy to know that, unlike The Martian and those games in the Lifeline series, you can in fact turn off the real-time aspect, thus making the game that much more playable, but really, nothing can change my feeling that it's just not all that compelling a story, unfortunately. I won't be requesting a refund, all the same.

Re: Delight Games Premium now fully accessible with VoiceOver on iOS
Re: Delight Games Premium now fully accessible with VoiceOver on iOS I finally got to buy these. Unlock of lifetime access is costly (£30+) but worth it IMO. I also bought some coins, just because.I can now happily say that I no longer need the Wiz Choice app, as this version is perfectly accessible. The app as a whole, including all the features, works, including the scrolling issue, the purchasing features, the library and stats, etc. It really looks like we now have an awesome time ahead.Splendiferous!

Re: The Martian
Re: The Martian It also has some pretty infuriating bugs. You can't "Fast forward" unless you do it at the precise moment you are offered it, and not after. You can't "Rewind" after death if your last choice was to wait (and not respond). The real-time aspect is not optional; you must sit through breaks, even where, honestly, they add no real suspense or value (Mark is sleeping, meh). Etc. I really want to like this game, but yeah, it feels like more of a publicity stunt with these sorts of issues. Moreover, having played it a bit more, I'd say familiarity with the novel and/or movie was _not_ advised, unless you enjoy reading reams of backgrounder.So in summary: I'll be playing this through, trying to get as much entertainment out of it as possible, and then I'll probably remove it. It's not going to stay a permanent fixture of my home screens.

The Martian
The Martian For those who've watched the recently-released "The Martian" (available on iTunes, audiodescribed) or read the (predictably far superior) original novel (also on Audible) by Andy Weir, you'll be glad to know there's an app for that and, as far as I can see, it's accessible. From the quality of the accessibility I'd judge that they made the effort.I have yet to really get down to playing it, but it's one of those captivating, real-time games which mean that you spend more time fiddling with your phone than actually doing anything. You take the place of a NASA communications specialist, and you must direct "The martian" to survive by doing research and supplying the information necessary to bring him home. It uses notifications, and, if you have one, has support for your Apple Watch.

Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time
Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time @Dark you're not, but you're definitely in the minority at this point. Not suggesting that's bad or wrong, of course, but it's true, all the same. Most holdouts have moved, per force, to Win7 at minimum; the others went to Linux or investigated Mac, much as you are.I don't visit the CoG website much; everything I need from there is in the iOS App Store, which is how I check for new apps (oh how I wish they'd send email notifications or even download new purchases from them!) or GitHub, where they published their interpreter and documentation. The BrailleNote is, I fear, too far obsolete to be of any use as a web-surfing device, but I still valiantly attempt it every so often, nonetheless.@Grryf: ooh!

Of course you have iOS, so it doesn't have to matter.I still have a BrailleNote I wouldn't mind seeing play these. Then again, I think that's asking a bit much nowadays; it's just about good enough to browse non-_javascript_ pages and FTP sites, so about the level of compatibility of IE6.Check the refurb store. Your Mac could be a few hundred quid cheaper if you catch a lucky break.At this stage I'd say your odds of being happy on Windows are fairly close to zero, but I'd be lacking in objectivity if I didn't point out that it has, in various versions, by far the biggest share of computer users. Windows 7 is the minimum, the prompted upgrades to the data-slurping Windows 10 (for "Free") the maximum. I would settle for 8.1 with Classic Shell, myself.

Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time
Re: New from choiceofgames, a wise use of time I realise times have changed, but I'd actually be tempted to buy from the CoG website if the game stored your state and allowed you to play connected with the server doing the processing, so you could play from devices with limited or no _javascript_ support. I know, running applications in the browser is just the in thing to do, but it seems counterintuitive to me that one requires access to a web page if one is not then going to stay connected. In fact the game data is loaded and interpreted, so you can disconnect and then continue playing, but you need _javascript_ and a modern browser to do it. Might as well just buy the packaged app if that's going to be what you get anyway. Still, kudos to CoG for making use of _javascript_ in a way that doesn't make me want to puke.

For a hint, though, mostly negative, because the game is hard and repetitive. Apparently, Somethin Else arent working hard enough to introduce the newbie player, or else our expectations are too low to know whats good for us because the ambience still isnt enough. I found myself getting rather defensive on that point, but its sobering, all the same. For the record, I think its a fantastic game.

Re: Audio Defence: Zombie Arena -- From the Creators of Papa Sangre 2
Re: Audio Defence: Zombie Arena -- From the Creators of Papa Sangre 2 Hang on, I think we should try and reconcile what we were worried about with what we have. Why do you suppose this is a fun game despite the fact that it has very simple controls? I think it comes down to ambience and the fact that the mechanics are essentially environmental. The game presents a plausible (for the game, that is) set of in-game objects, powerups, monsters, currency and so on, and the result is an immersive player experience even independent of the quality of the audio and the controls, both of which are ingeniously simple. I think thats an important lesson, because it says that the superficial concern that the game cannot be fun because it appears to offer no depth on the basis of the controls is clearly incorrect. PacMan notwithstanding. I agree, more challenges. But Im doing just fine in endless mode too, and enjoying it very much. Ive surely run through all the cards, but Im still playing--well, of course, theres the money aspect, too.

Re: Flarestar, the audiogame from Sylphe labs and TiconBlu, is out! I purchased this a few days ago.Yes, the iOS potential is there, given the simplicity of the control and the emphasis on the audio its always rather nice to have that level of convenience.But … somebody didnt test even the instructions for iOS, because double-tapping is required rather than single-tapping in the main menu. I *DO* hope iOS isnt being treated as a second-class citizen here.The robotic effect is rather intense. Im missing out on some of the instructions, though if I repeat them often enough, I can grapple them, kinda.Yes, this is another maze-crawl-type affair, only this time, there is less ambience. The plot is yet to develop, so Ill give this a fair shot. But its definitely not free-form. Double-tapping everywhere is about the only way to test if youre in range of an interactable object, and there are no audio cues so the only information you get comes from hitting barriers, as in Inquisitors Heartbeat.

Re: Audio Defence: Zombie Arena -- From the Creators of Papa Sangre 2 Well, if the question ever comes up about financial shortages and what to do about them, Id be happy to pay another upfront payment to unlock the next distinct part, so long as it was distinct from the previous and the enjoyment of one was not conditioned on the enjoyment of the other. Of course, the temptation to take money in exchange for powerups is always great, not just for the player but the authors too.

Why, dont you _want_ to kill more monsters, just for the fun of it? This game is more elaborate and fun than I thought possible, given the simple mechanic. But it does run the real risk of running out of content. Without the challenges, without the powerups, then yes, it will eventually weary.

( Make mental note to use this as weapon against Windows apologists. )It is really quite fascinating that youve distributed the computing load across the clients. Very cool.Perhaps there is one hope for the console-based approach: you package either a console-based client, i.e. one that runs from a textmode session in Doze or OS X ( or even, we can hope, Linux ), or you make it possible for the client software on a persons computer to start a TCP listener, to which standard tel net/IRC/MUDclient software can connect.Just suggestions.

Re: AudioQuake Beta Release
Re: AudioQuake Beta Release The short answer is that yes you can do it, but I wouldnt rush into it. To get rotating maps working you will have to know the Quake commands and modify the cfg file. And to get multiple servers up you will have to listen on different port numbers, and run ports through your NAT box.The thing to understand is that Quake is always client-server; even when you play single-player, whats happening is that the client is actually speaking the server protocol to itself, internally. The server program merely externalises that server function into a separate process. So, learn how to use the main engine first, i.e. the whole of Quake, and then you can learn how to run the server with the right config. You can choose which map to start, which game mode, and whether cheats are enabled or not.I will see whether or not it would be possible to run Quake from a direc tory rather than the launcher; that might be helpful. In the meantime, dont be alarmed if things are patchy; it is beta after all.

We are working on updating the documentation as soon as we can, and would suggest that if youre totally new to the game, you wait until weve been able to done that before playing.Please remember that AudioQuake was and is a research project and not all of the Quake levels are very accessible -- however a number are, and a number of accessible multi-player levels are provided, as well as a server. Most importantly, we are working on updating and including the Level Description Language (LDL) with AudioQuake ASAP so that you can make your own maps for the game.Please keep the feedback coming; were doing our best to address the issues and make improvements.

Here are the changes...You can now launch a server and a remote console session from the Launcher.Weve a key to the sounds document on the Launcher menu.We have included the old documentation for AudioQuake 0.3.0.All documentation written by us is in HTML format now, so should be easier to navigate.Please note that the old AudioQuake 0.3.0 documentation has not been updated to take into account the new Mac/Window s release, nor the new GUI launcher, so please ignore the parts about installation, the old command-line-based launcher and anything to do with Linux (for now). We are working on updating the documentation as soon as we can, and would suggest that if youre totally new to the game, you wait until weve been able to do that before playing.Please remember that AudioQuake was and is a research project and not all of the Quake levels are very accessible -- however a number are, and a number of accessible multi-player levels are provided, as well as a server. Most importantly, we are working on updating and including the Level Description Language (LDL) with AudioQuake ASAP so that you can make your own maps for the game.Please keep the feedback coming; were doing our best to address the issues and make improvements.

Re: From choiceofgames, Thieve's gambit and Devided we fall Mmm, cant say Im experiencing any trouble playing on iOS 8. Well, OK, so its a *bit* harder--now you have to slide around looking for the Next button before double-tapping it--but Im doing alright. FWIW. It should be fixed, of course--send a note to accessibil...@apple.com and ask nicely.
