Re: [Audiogames-reflector] 2d platformer
Re: 2d platformer /The worst bug in the game for me is definitely the jump height not saving. Also, you would be nice to be able to just hold the up arrow down and climb the ladder, rather than having to keep pressing it and jump from rung to rung--unless the rungs are, say, more than three feet apart.Here are some of the things Id like to see.1. Power-ups that increase speed, jump height, and that give you new abilities. Instead of the cheats, why not just use power-ups? You could even take out the part of the game where the user defines jump height and give special power-ups for that in the game. I would like to see random ones that pop out from time to time, as well as strategically placed ones. For example, youre about to need to jump on a ladder thats ten units above the ground, but since you only can jump five normally its unreachable--so the map maker simply puts in a special power up that gives thirty seconds of crazy jump time. Also, if there s a lot of ground to cover before the next platform ends, with few obstacles, a superrun powerup might be placed at the beginning of the run.2. Portable tools like small ladders that you have to carry to certain areas to go up. Also, earplugs to drown out especially loud sound sources. These would not effect sounds like keys, doors etc.3. Moving platforms like in Mario Brothers.this game is definitely off to a great start!

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Braillemon status update!
Re: Braillemon status update! The game no longer accepts arrow key input with Jaws turned on, so turn it off. Also, because of the graphics, it really messes with the Jaws video intercept function, causing it to be unable to read documents, which means you have to restart the computer to regain that functionality, so a nongraphical version would be a good thing.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Space Attack
Re: Space Attack As for the pads, there are always nine, available at any time. Right now they are free, and you can use them. In fact, I find the game very hard to play without their use. I might make the players ship move faster, so it doesnt take as long to get under a shield. Just know that the pads never move. The numbers 2, 5, and 8 will always take you beneath a shield and your gun will not fire. Other numbers will move you and shoot once.As far as sounds being confusing, the names of the sound files are relatively self-explanatory, so you can use their names as a guide until I make a podcast of the game. Target1 is the target used for regular ships, and the higher its sound is the farther away the ship in that column is, so if you hear a very low beep youre in trouble and better start shooting right away. Target2 is the UFO targetting system. Right now the UFOs are rediculously easy to hit, so enjoy that while it lasts. Shield.wav is your shield humming, and S hieldDies.wav is it getting destroyed. In default scanner mode, the thumps represent the columns at the very end, but you can scan column by column too by hitting shift s.What I think Ill do as far as the T pads is to charge by distance per level, so to move 10 spaces will cost 10 creds on the first level, 20 on the second and so on. I dont want it to be too costly because, like I said, its hard to beat even the first level with out them. HTH, and I will make a podcast soon.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=158622#p158622 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Space Attack
Re: Space Attack Hey guys,the targetting sounds beep when youre exactly in line with a ship. Its best to know when the sound is going to play, or youll be shooting just a split second too late.As far as not hearing the shield sound, that means that either the shield has been destroyed or its been seriously weakened. The quieter the shield the weaker it is, and theyll only hum if youre directly beneath them.As for upgrade costs, Im implementing a menu system that will alllow you go actually sho at a store so you can see your creds and how much a thing is. The hot keys are a lot quicker, but the menu system will give you more control over exact figures.By the way, the column by column scan works perfectly now I think. Give it a try by hitting shift s in the game.As far as playing aliens, I dont know how youd control 72 ships at once, and since the ships move systematically there would be little to do but drop bombs f rom the right column at the right time.One last thing, and Im leaving this up to you guys. Should I charge for the teleport pads or not? They make the game a lot easier to play, but maybe they make it too easy? If I do charge, itll be pay by distance.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=158508#p158508 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Scrolling Battles
Re: Scrolling Battles Personally, I didnt care much for SB2 but loved the original. Ive been making unbeatable games for a long time and they are my favorite. I would only ask that you make it so we can set a minimum number of enemies on screen at any time. Id like to have at least ten enemies at all times. Also, they keep falling into the pits, even on level 60 or whatever Im on. It says that they have a 1 in 5000 chance to fall in but do it all the time. This could easily become one of my top five favorites if you could just do those two things.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Space Attack
Re: Space Attack Thanks for the bug report. I squished it and quite a few others as well. Also, youre going to have to spend your credits a lot more wisely, since shield strength has been drastically reduced and everything is more expensive. Next on the agenda is updating the read me file to explain more and making the teleport pads cost money. The plan is that the farther you travel from your current spot, the more itll cost, since its way too easy to jump to a shield at the last second.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=158285#p158285 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Space Attack
Re: Space Attack Hi SLJ,no, this isnt the first game Ive developed. Check out the full list at www.ThePionEar.net. Ive done such games as Enemy Attack, Wrecking Ball, Heywire, and a text game called World of Darkness. Im currently improving Wrecking Ball and working on this Space Attack game, as well as a GTA type game, though I really dont know how far the last one is going to go. As far as levels, this is an unbeatable game, as are most of my games, and is true to the arcade formula--except you cant flip the score, because it just keeps going up... and up... and up.As far as multiplayer goes, Im not even sure how I could incorporate something like that, though a score server would be the bomb!

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Space Attack
Re: Space Attack If you havent tried this game yet, here is a copy of the read me file.Space AttackbyThe PionEarThis document uses plus signs. Yall know the routine.++ IntroThis is no ordinary space invaders for the blind game. It is a true SI clone, requiring not only reflexes but also strategy.+OverviewThere are, as in the original, 72 ships arranged in nine columns. They move back and forth, and as they hit the sides they lower. If a ship hits your base, you lose one, so be sure to hide behind one of the three shields. If the ships come down too low, game over!+Not Just a CloneAlong with the basic mechanics, Ive added some things to help you on your way. Each of these things costs credits, which you earn by destroying enemy ships. I find it laughable when folks try buying stuff when theyre short on creds, so dont even try it. If you feel daring, you can also do some gam bling to earn extra dough.++ T he controlsUse the j and l keys to move left and right, the i and k keys to raise and lower music volume, the p key to get a message box containing your score and other relevant info, and the space bar to shoot. Im working on a way to use traditional arrow keys, but so far I havent been able to do this in Basic4PPC.Now fur the fun stuff. Press lower case s if your shields are failing and you want to strengthen them. This even replaces destroyed shields.Press u if you want to upgrade your guns battery pack. In the beginning, you can only fire six shots before needing to wait a second or two for the batteries to recharge, but you can get better and better batteries. Even the best batteries will have to recharge if you have a true trigger finger, so the upgrade feature gives you a full charge as well.Press b to get a bigger gun. this is very costly but widens your hit angle. If you get a big enough gun, you can take out ships in multiple column s at once.Press f to speed up your bullets. You cant fire until the bullet either hits an enemy or clears the top of the screen, just like in the original, but you can get bullets that shoot faster.Press upper case g to gamble. You have a 50% chance of winning, and the amount you win or lose is totally random, and is based on how many credits you have. Be careful, because you gamble them all! The g is upper case so you wont do it on accident.Press s to strengthen shields.Press 1 through 9 to teleport to their corresponding areas. 1 takes you to the far left, and 9 to the far right. These teleports cost credits, so only use them if absolutely necessary.You have a targetting scanner. Press t if you want to disable or reenable it.By default, only the end columns of ships are played. To hear each individual column, press upper case S. Press it again to return to end column scanning.++Game play and strategyThe main strategy is t o blow the ships up which are at the ends, that is the far left and far right, since they all move lower toward your base if they hit the sides. Also, since theyre down lower, bombs are dropped closer to you, meaning that you have less time to get out of their way. When bombs are dropped, move beneath one of the three shields. Youll know youre beneath a shield because youll hear it humming. The weaker the shield, the softer its hum. You must not shoot your shields too often or they will be destroyed, and you must not hide under one shield too often, because bombs wear them out over time.The enemy ships drop bombs, and they have heat-seeking guidance systems. This means that they can follow you, and quickly. Even if you use a teleporter, the bomb will probably hit--so make sure to teleport under your strongest shield.Dont focus all your attention on the end columns, because all it takes is one ship in the middle to touch base, and its g ame over.At the end of each level, the remaining ships are screaming past. Dont station yourself at the end, but a few clicks away so that you can hit the ship, let your battery charge, then hit it again.++Other PlatformsI have the ability to compile this game to run under Windows Mobile 2003 and wm5.

Space Attack Im working on a new game called Space Attack. Get it here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/966 … Attack.zipThis is a true space invaders clone with all 72 ships present at once. There are three shields you can hide behind when bombs are falling, and you have to be careful not to destroy them.

You can purchase items in the game with credits, like bigger or faster guns, extra guns, strength for shields--and you can even gamble!The full version will sell for $5 but isnt ready yet due to a rather nasty bug Im still trying to squish where, even though all the ships are gone, you still hear an invisible one moving back and forth.

Re: Community feud, by Aprone I had Q thrown at me on turn 2 and won. I let him get all the way to spot 3, not worrying about him. Then I just kept throwing out sprinklers to keep him from moving. So yeah, I suppose it could be said to be unfair, except that alls fair in love and war lol. I do think that the enemy should have to throw out lighter units at first though, since they would have to build up their resources too. I also think that player and enemy should attack simultaniously so that if youre defending the front lines with Q and another Q comes on the scene, they would blow each other up at the same time. As it stands now, the game is easily beaten, even in endless mode, once you get Q or even the hedge trimmer on all the roads.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=157602#p157602 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
