Re: Thoughts about the new immersive Audio RPG - The Cursed Painting
Re: Thoughts about the new immersive Audio RPG - The Cursed Painting @Accman et al: You will be able to run the demonstration version of this skill just fine with the Windows 10 version of the Alexa app, but you will not be able to upgrade to the full version (assuming that the full version is unlocked via an in-skill purchase). The Windows 10 iteration of Amazon's assistant does not permit one to conduct any in-skill purchases for premium features. I found this out while playing games such as The Dark Citadel, The Vortex, Six Swords, and Escape The Room 2, all of which support premium features. So if you want to play the full release, you'll probably have to do it through your phone's Alexa app, assuming that platform's version allows in-skill purchases. If not, then you can always get an Echo dot pretty cheaply depending on the time of year, as Amazon often offers those devices at tremendous discounts.Kai URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/500654/#p500654 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Fed II Community Edition [chill out MU*]
Re: Fed II Community Edition [chill out MU*] LOL. I think the younger generation of people will always want sounds and stuff with their mud gaming. It's more us older players who are fine playing muds without sounds, because we had to play that way for a long time, and so got used to using our imaginations. Now I'm not saying there aren't exceptions to the rule, but in general, younger audiences do want flashier entertainment. You only have to look at the world of video games as proof -- games with flashy graphics and such sell much better than their more subdued counterparts.Remember that all sound packs started with someone who had a passion for the mud in question. They all take time and effort to get the triggers, scripts, and sounds in place. You could be the one to start a sound pack for a game, rather than always relying on others to do it for you.Kai URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/498684/#p498684 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: AudioWizards now on Steam and PC!
Re: AudioWizards now on Steam and PC! Given that the developers were concerned about the piracy of the game when it was only on the mobile platforms, I sincerely doubt they will or should release the game on Itch.io. DRM-free is a great thing, until you realize that it just means only one person needs to buy your game, then he can share it with whomever he chooses without any concern for user keys or other protections. It'd be nice to think the audio gaming community wouldn't abuse DRM-free, but lets face it. There are certain groups among us who will jump on that and completely rob the developer of sales without even a moment's pause for guilt.Kai URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/495037/#p495037 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: A Tempest Season, a new, special unique fantasy mud
Re: A Tempest Season, a new, special unique fantasy mud I just tried the mud today and I do love the various systems and mechanics. I also like that it doesn't seem to be a super strict RP environment, which is its own feature in some ways.I do have a problem with an RP intensive mud such as this being festooned with so many typos and grammar issues, particularly during the character creation process. It's at that stage that you really want to sell yourself to potential players, and having what's supposed to be a serious roleplaying game plagued by multiple spelling mistakes puts a bit of a damper on the initial experience.What's worse is that there doesn't seem to be an integral command to report these typographical mistakes in the game. A new player isn't likely to want to join your forum or Discord just so they can report typos and spelling errors. That's a lot of investment for a player to make into a game's atmosphere before they can even begin to contribute such small reports.By no means is this a deal breaker for the game, but it is (in my view) a bit of a hiccup in the interface. Off-game forums and discussion mediums are great, but they should always be ancillary to an in-game method of communicating concerns to the staff.This issue aside, I really did enjoy the game and its quests. There seem to be plenty of things to unlock so that the game will remain fun for newbies and veterans alike, something that's usually hard to manage. Now if only we had a crafting system.

I hate having to go to the menu every time, since I'm kind of a paranoid player and like to save at almost every new turn of the game.Conversely, though, I also kind of wish there was an ironman mode of Manamon which disabled the save function, only autosaving after important events (such as cut-scenes or tamer/boss battles). Perhaps have some cool manamon that you might be able to get only through ironman mode?

Re: Awakened worlds mud. It's interesting that so many people use the presence of sounds as a metric on whether or not they play a mud. It could be a boring, bland, stock mud, and as long as it has sounds, it would win over a highly detailed game with rich crafting, story, etc.I guess I'm an older school of mudder -- I've never needed sounds to play a mud.

Re: Return to the world of Manamon in Manamon 2: The Eternal Requiem I notice a few people cross posting (that is, posting the same thing to one of the other Manamon topics and then coming over to this topic to post the same thing). I know this might not be against the rules, but for the sake of the rest of us, can you guys refrain from doing this? It defeats the point of having subject-specific topics.

Re: Return to the world of Manamon in Manamon 2: The Eternal Requiem
Re: Return to the world of Manamon in Manamon 2: The Eternal Requiem I'm not sure how I feel about the skill distributions in Manamon 2. The game now has a synergy feature so that steel manamon performing steel moves hit much harder, which is great, but then you find manamon that have tons of moves, but none that match their type. Case in point, I started with the water manamon, and he doesn't even get tidal wave until 15, or this poison manamon I just caught which has 4 moves, standard, effect, effect, then another damage move that does shadow? Just seems kind of odd that manamon would start out with moves which don't match their type -- kind of like being able to jump a car with a lighter, but not being able to light a cigar until you go get an add-on to the lighter.Kai URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/472348/#p472348 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: A Hero's Call: an Accessible Fantasy RPG from Out of Sight Games
Re: A Hero's Call: an Accessible Fantasy RPG from Out of Sight Games @Kodi (Post 1636) Unless it's a demo that's strictly hampered, thereby requiring extra coder time to deliberately rip out huge chunks of the game, demos are usually hotbeds for cracking. Even if cracking isn't an issue, that's dev time into a demo that I think would be better spent on the game itself. Joseph is right in that plenty of Indie and mainstream titles forego playable demos, and I think it's fine for AHC to do likewise. If you're unsure about the game based on playthroughs you've heard, do yourself a favour and pass on buying the game. I personally love AHC, but it's easier to be bereft of a game than it is to part with money and then be disappointed by said game.Kai URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=353281#p353281 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: You're a Cyclepath!
Re: You're a Cyclepath! I just want to jump in here and say that the mindset of "if you don't have a 64-bit system, get one" is a bit narrow-minded and unrealistic when it comes to appreciation for varying situations. Perhaps, for one reason or another, they are either unable to or unwilling to switch to a 64-bit operating system. It is slightly unrealistic to just expect they should be able to make the switch, just like that.I come from an old school mindset of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". This meant that yes, I was using Windows XP for the longest time -- up until 2014, I think? I did not like the environment of more recent OS's, nor did I want to spend the money on a brand new computer, just to keep with the times, not when my XP computer was working perfectly fine. It was only when it died that I was forced to embrace Windows 8.1, and I still find myself missing XP, a lot.Even if we don't consider financial restrictions, therefore, ther e are numerous personal and preferential reasons one may not want to use a recent 64-bit operating system. That being said, if you are using an older OS, you will often have to accept that there are going to be programs or features you're just not privy to. Case in point, I've not upgraded to Windows 10, and so am not able to avail myself of the Xbox One / Windows 10 gaming platform to play games like Killer Instinct at this time. I think it's one thing for the developer to say I have no interest in developing for other platforms, but it's quite another for us to just automatically respond with: "Well, it's pretty easy to get a new computer. Go get one." Nevertheless, this may be one of the compromises you're just going to have to live with if you're still on a 32-bit Windows 7 system, unless of course a 32-bit version is (down the road )compiled. Believe me, I know where you're coming from, but it's one of the consequences of t he situation you're in, be it by choice or necessity.Kai URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=322526#p322526 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Warsim, text based randomly generated stratogy
Re: Warsim, text based randomly generated stratogy Hello Wastelander. I'd love to contribute sounds to this game, which I think will improve the experience now that you're releasing to Steam. Even if you don't want sounds in the main release, is there any way you can tweak the output code of the game so that users can set their own sounds for events? I'm picturing a section in settings where it lets you add a regular _expression_ pattern, such as:^([0-9-+]+) public opinion\.$This would then prompt you for a file to play, wherein the argument could be "%1.xyz" to play a file name matching a wildcard from the regular _expression_ field. Alternatively, of course, you could just provide a file name, rather than a wildcard.An alternative to this would be to create a sounds.ini file into which all these parameters could be written. The game would then load those options into itself upon load, and the only setting you'd need in the game is sounds on/off.I'm sure you'll be able to think of other ways to incorporate it, but I'd love to see such a feature added if you do decide that you don't need sounds for the main version of this game.Kai URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=317686#p317686 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Lament
Re: Lament After a year of playing this mud, and in the light of some unsavory staff member interactions, here is my review of Lament:Lament is a fun mud, with a rich, addictive crafting system, great roleplaybackground, history, and atmosphere. I've loved playing it, despite the flaws itdoes have, so feel free to take my criticisms below with a grain of salt and trythe game out for yourself.First, the pros:* A generally great staff of immortals, with one exception (see below).* An addictive and comprehensive crafting system.* A vast and interesting wilderness to explore.* Features coded to help visually impaired players (although, see below for somequalifications).* An expansive skill system with free-form learning -- You learn skills byperforming relevant activities.* A custom style editor -- fight with as much defense or offense as you wish,without relying on precoded styles.* A relatively fun ranged combat system, with some caveats noted below.And the cons:* A bland melee combat system, with no flavour messages, special moves, or bonusmastery messages and techniques. You simply autocombat swing, and your opponentdoes likewise.* An unreliable ranged combat system that's not likely to see changes in thenear future -- the staff have intimated that rebalancing ranged combat isnowhere on their priorities list. You can aim for a bodypart and hit 20 otherdifferent spots, then switch to aiming for one of those other parts to try andcripple it... only to finally hit the spot you've been trying to hit all thattime. Damage is always extremely random, and the very expensive end-game arrowupgrades provide no recognizable bonus over any other arrow types.* Despite crippling wounds and amputations, creatures do not bleed to death,completely destroying the immersion.* Animals who are complete ly amputated can often still wriggle across the groundfaster than a player can walk, jog, or even run, unless they've put in a lot oftime to grind up their movement skills.* There's a distinct lack of liquid crafting, so you can't create any beverages,poisons, or liquid resources for other crafts.* very slow developmental speed for core changes. Content changes do come inwith reliability, but if you want a staff sling or a wagon, for example, you'llbe waiting a long time.* The features to help visually impaired players aren't yet quite complete.Sighted players can see vast distances on their ASCII map, whereas visuallyimpaired players using the screen reader mode are limited to only ever seeingadjacent tiles, making exploration well nigh impossible.* No player housing. You're limited to leaving all the stuff you've worked forout in canvas tents without any degree of secur ity. Furthermore, if you threatento return the favour by raiding the camp of the offenders, you are somehowbreaking their courtesy rules.* Arbitrary staff member(s) who can decide to deal out character punishments at awhim. If you have any divergent views, keep them to yourself. They'll treat adifference of opinion as a breach of the rules and ban you on the spot. Also, don't criticize the mud. If your criticisms somehow influence another player in a way that doesn't impress the staff, they will add it to your file as if it were a direct offense.There are a lot of other features and criticisms I am missing, but I'm sureyou'll make your own conclusions about the game anyway. Just bear in mind thatthe game is in, and has been in alpha state for years. Despite that and my ownexperiences, you may find Lament to be a great home. For anyone else who doesn'tlike snails's pace development or arbi trary rules, consider another mud to playfor now.

Re: VGStorm Presents Manamon, a new fully featured RPG!
Re: VGStorm Presents Manamon, a new fully featured RPG! While I won't be purchasing Manamon based on my experience with Psycho Strike, I'll play devil's advocate and state that the developer shouldn't cave in and add options he didn't want to implement from the outset. He obviously had his own reasons for not implementing the screen reader support, and the game works just fine without that feature.Sometimes, a developer just has to put his foot down and say no. When a developer tries to cater to every whim and desire, his project becomes tedious and prone to more bugs as he scrambles to fulfill every request. If he keeps the project at a standard, then there's not as much to contend with.Now, granted, this doesn't mean I think he should repeat Psycho Strike and abandon the game now that it's released, but future dev should be restricted to bug fixes and content delivery, if possible. Just as Pokémon went through several generations, Manamon could stand to do the same.Oh, as an amusing note: When you view the firebreath skill for the Flammea manamon, it says it's "fame" type. lol.

Re: Preludeamals, a puzzle solving game by Aprone
Re: Preludeamals, a puzzle solving game by Aprone Jeffb, the arm travels in the direction designated by its start position, which you can always examine with X, and jump to with Shift + X. It will continue in that direction until it encounters an obstacle. If the arm is blocked from moving further by that obstacle, be it a track block tile or the edge of the map, it will reverse direction. If it encounters a turn, it will change directions according to the designation of the turn tile. For example, if the arm is traveling east and hits a southwest turn, the arm will move south, since it approached the turn from the west. A southwest turn will always try to angle the arm, so that if the arm is approach a southwest turn from the west, it will be turned south, and if the arm approaches the same arm from the south, it will be turned west.The arm never travels at angles or diagonals, and it can never skip over tiles. (so it will never jump directly from A3 to D3).Kai URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=260259#p260259 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind For those who are demanding that accessibility be a priority venture on daigonite's part, I propose the following exercise. Create a simple game (a quick side scroller, for instance). You must make it both sonicly and visually appealing, but you may go about it in which ever order you choose. You'll be scored separately for both aspects of the game, but must meet a one-week deadline to propose the game to potential adopters. The target demographic for the game is predominantly visually impaired, with a ratio of 70% VI players to 30% who are sighted. You are solely responsible for procuring any resources necessary for the project.Now. Being that most of us on the forum are either totally or partially visually impaired, our interest will probably be in making the game sound great, as well as relay pertinent information to the player, without overwhelming him or her. How many of you will end up working on the sounds and accessibility first, since the interest margin weighs more heavily on the side of the VI audience? How many of you will work on the visual aspect first?Can you make an acceptable product in the one week margin which possesses top-tier sounds and accessibility features, but also sports gorgeous graphics to please your sighted customers? Can you do so whilst checking and double checking for bugs?The point here is that you guys are expecting version 3.9 of a game that's only in a concept stage. You're making demands for a game which, lets be honest, you may or may not even buy in the end. You're expecting the developer to be completely able to implement all accessibility features, as if she were blind herself, and thus has a first-hand understanding of what you as a player expects. You're expecting her to alienate her larger market of backers, just to make sure a relatively small group receives attention first, a group which, as I have pointed out in my previous post, has had a track record of not even donating to projects committed to their needs and expectations.I quote from the first post: All of the assets are made by me, including the visual ones. This means the game is primarily targeted at a sighted demographic, with a generous bonus that it will also contain accessibility features! The fact that the game focuses on colours (a VISUAL concept), means it probably was conceived with sight in mind... You know, since the developer is sighted.Have any of us sat down and, with a visual impairment, decided "Hey! I'm gonna make a game to beat Dark Souls 3!" We work with that which are most familiar. In Daigonite's case, she's going to make a game that involves visuals, because, you know, she's sighted. That's her primary sense... that's what she's familiar with. I doubt she'd just wake up one morning and say "I'm gonna make a program to pr int out tactile graphics, so I can feel them!", nor would you as a visually impaired person just wake up one day and say "I'm going to paint me a mural of the celestial heavens."If I condescend in my point making, it's only because you guys haven't exactly been respectful of Daigonite, and it drives me up the wall that you guys aren't able to consider the development process from her point of view. It's easy enough to say "I demand accessibility!", but if you don't understand the various facets of project management and game development, such demands can only be detrimental (to both the developer and the community).Need I remind us of the debacle of wherein visually impaired players inundated an iOS game developer with requests, complaints, and what not so much that he flat-out refused further interaction with the AG community? What a loss! What a waste!In no wise am I saying we need to praise and worship th ose who implement accessibility, nor am I saying we shouldn't advocate for accessibility. On the contrary, I urge all of you to make well informed arguments and petitions to improve or introduce accessibility where possible... Demanding it ruthlessly, however, is the draconian method which will only alienate potential developers from including us in their plans.I sincerely hope Daigonite does manage to add accessibility, but I also hope that she manages to interest enough people, sighted or not, to fund her project. If that means she needs to work on making it pretty first (reality check: eye candy sells, just ask Apple), does it really hurt you guys to have the slightest modicum of patience? Is her game providing an essential function worth the demands and recriminations, despite the fact that accessibility's already in her plans?In conclusion, I think several of you need to examine the reality of being an independent game developer. Daigonite's not Son y, nor is she Microsoft, nor is she EA Games. If she were, she wouldn't even be listening to your undiplomatic demands for features. Since she isn't any of these big publishers, she needs to market her product harder, and
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind I think some of the contributors to this thread don't really understand the developmental and marketing aspects of designing and releasing a hopefully profitable, or at least even-margin game. I for one support Daigonite in her efforts. The reality is, the sighted demographic is bigger, so it would make sense for her to approach that market first -- it helps her amass funds and resources.Lets be honest. How many kick starters targeted specifically for the audio gaming atmosphere have succeeded? I'm fairly sure I can count the number of successful campaigns on one hand, with five fingers left over. Given that kind of history, it's no wonder that Daigonite might not see the audio gaming community as a money tree.Beyond that, there are plenty of games which were never made for blind players, but were just accidentally playable, or become playable with some degree of adaptation, and yet we happily spend money on them. I fail to see why Daigonite's eff ort should be considered any differently -- and in fact, her promise to integrate accessibility should instead urge you guys to donate to encourage her to make it a higher priority, rather than demoralize her into giving it up for a lost cause.@Daigonit: Regarding your plans to make a separate version with accessibility features to be released aside from the Steam store, my recommendation is to stick to the steam layer, since you will already be releasing a product there. You can always tack on accessibility modifications as free DLC material. A Blind Legend being released on Steam has already paved the way for you, in signifying that even games for the blind market can be offered on that platform, there's no need for you to try to release a version of the game which will inevitably just be subject to further piracy.Kai URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=258860#p258860 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: drakor a newly discovered browser world
Re: drakor a newly discovered browser world @Giovani Thanks for the tip about the inventory stuff showing up at the top. I agree that accessibility is somewhat spotty, and to be fair, the developer probably didn't have accessibility in mind when he made it. I'm not seeing the accessibility option make much difference, and the game needs more headings and such -- it's such a chore to navigate battles, for example. Click use or pass on an item, scroll all the way down to where combat starts or use screen reader find, then scroll back up or use find to go back to your skills and repeat... It got a bit too tedious for me. I'm sure sighted players have no issue at all with the set up, and for them that's great. For me, though, this is entirely too much effort to play a game.Suggestions:Divide the battle screen up into multiple sections, with appropriate headings for each: Your stats, enemy stats, your available battle abilities, your used (and thus unavailable) battle abilitie s, round combat data, which should be replaced with the victory/defeat data (as applicable). Victory/Defeat already have a heading, so I know this could be done without too much difficulty.Likewise about headings for explore, shops, and other sections of the site -- in general, just more headings.Have an option to hide empty slots in combat, as well as in the items (but not equipment and battle) section of inventory. This may not be as much of an issue if headings become more prevalent, but as it is, scrolling pass a bunch of empty slots and their graphics is tedious.In accessibility mode, possibly convert all the nonstandard clickables into links and/or buttons. This lets us use our screen reader capabilities to jump around to applicable actions more quickly.I'm sure there are other considerations I haven't thought of, and perhaps not everyone will agree with my wishlist. I'm just writing down what I fi nd to be some of the personally tedious aspects of the game -- I'm not pretending to speak on anyone else's behalf.Kai URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=255807#p255807 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Castaways 2 public beta
Re: Castaways 2 public beta @Dark That being said, I also don't think Castaways 2 has to necessarily also appeal to all groups. It's perfectly fine for C2 to remain a PVP game, whilst keeping the single player aspect for those who don't enjoy that kind of gameplay.I tend to think that Swamp was Aprone trying too hard to cater to everyone. Adherence to a theme can be a good thing, and expanding upon it beyond the original goals might possibly break it. I won't lie, I would love a great co-op game as well, but I think it might be wise for Aprone to pursue the current course and save some kind of future co-op system for a bigger game.Remember that Aprone did, after all, concede to C2 being a smaller, simpler game.

Re: Swamp, zombie FPS by Aprone
Re: Swamp, zombie FPS by Aprone Realism has nothing to do with Swamp gameplay. If we were ever to try and make Swamp realistic, you'd only be able to carry a limited amount of ammo, have only one life per character, would take for ever to heal wounds despite the application of medkits, would be so slow in your heavy armour that tyrants would stomp all over you with their long stride, your guns would jam from firing with any degree of rapidity, you'd only be able to carry at best a few light weapons (less so when you include the encumbrance of ammunition), you'd get tired from running around (specially while carrying gear), etc.Many of Swamp's elements were implemented in they way they are for gameplay purposes. Field kits are treated as weapons to make healing an actual effort -- being able to heal and fire at the same time takes some of the challenge out of Swamp, in a game which many people already view isn't that difficult to begin with. it's for the same gameplay reason t hat zombies ignore terrain damage, while players are subject to it -- if zombies could be hurt by the environment, you could just lead zombies onto fire tiles, run around somewhere close that they can't necessarily reach, and watch them all burn to death. In particular, I think it'd make medical missions too easy, given all the fire through the building.Conversely, though, a lot of considerations are made to make gameplay less annoying. The ability to surpass the ammunition specifications with a skill comes to mind.Kai URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=241963#p241963 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

I run the typical west/south/east rectangle, but break away at the end to walk towards the front-facing window.The higher sound indicates your character is moving towards the nearest exit, while the lower sound means you're headed deeper into a building.Kai URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=237685#p237685 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: New Infinite Apocalpytic Procedural Ascii Game "The Wastes"
Re: New Infinite Apocalpytic Procedural Ascii Game "The Wastes" Interface: Is there any way the skill and perk point assignment screens could accept arguments? Lets say I have 25 skill points and want to assign them all to health. Right now, I have to press 4, enter 25 times, and this just escalates as you acquire more points. It'd be nice if you could do something like 4 * 25 to apply 25 points to it. There would of course need to be some checks to make sure you couldn't do 4 * 100 and apply points you didn't really have, but boy would this save me from carpel tunnel while playing this game. lol. Especially while assigning perks that are double digit... typing 18, enter, multiple times, is so tedious.

Re: New Infinite Apocalpytic Procedural Ascii Game "The Wastes"
Re: New Infinite Apocalpytic Procedural Ascii Game "The Wastes" Regarding differing instruments based on pitches, why not code the game to output to the MIDI interface? That gives you a huge library of instruments, without having to include any samples, and you can then just assign different instrument numbers to different octaves and presets, such as guitar 1 to nylon guitar at C4, while guitar 6 could be nylon guitar, at C2, and so on. It'd also give you access to flutes and various other instruments as well, and the pitch shifting would be all done via midi notes, rather than having to alter in-memory audio.

Re: New Infinite Apocalpytic Procedural Ascii Game "The Wastes"
Re: New Infinite Apocalpytic Procedural Ascii Game "The Wastes" Agreed here, Dark. My score I posted earlier was purely from grind mining, refreshing weapons from a store until I got a good one, and then... dying to an even better NPC. lol. Modding the game to have the ultimate weapon makes it boring, but by all means please don't remove the ability. I sincerely believe in freedom of play -- let the player do as he wishes in the game. It's not a competition, there's no foul for having one advantage, since it's not a multiplayer PVP situation.Kai URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=232474#p232474 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
