Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror

Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror
Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror I saw the sherlock games, and indeed I beleive there also some gamebook magazines. this is another reason Id love to track the developers down, though unfortunately I had to be in the university today so didnt have time to do anymore searching or try their number.

Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror
Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror One cool thing is that if you purchase the bookmark it is able to be used a *lot* so you can really get a feel of the layout. Die? Its okay; you just unlocked an achievement. You can use the bookmark to save over saves. A point of confusion for some people is that the bookmark is a manual save. The game saves automatically but the bookmark is a nice touch. Also a cheat death card is an optional purchase. What really matters as far as your stats goes are two things: 1. Your dexterity. The higher the dexterity, the less you need to roll during combat to achieve higher numbers. 2. Strength. It equates to health points here. The higher the number, the more chances you have to survive when a string of bad rolls comes your way in battle.

Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror
Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror Well I have the ap and I like, though the ending I ran into was more than a little harsh being that i just got to a locked door and didnt have the right key so instantly failed, no death no nothing, indeed I dont see anything in the ap endings list for it or in achievements. I do like the setup though, though it took me a while to work out how the potions worked. sinse firstly I didnt realize that the potion use button was in the middle of the screen and secondly that the information about what each potion did was in the speak hints Very nice though, pus it looks like theyll be doing the other protius series as theyve started with number 1. Btw, I actually got some propper text pdfs of the first 19 protius magazines, and Ive checked and Tower of Terror was indeed the first, and sinse the ap is called protius 1 I assume well be seeing more.

Id love to contact the developers and offer my congrats, as well as point out to them how much better theyve done at actually making these accessible as compared to idiots like gamebook experience and tinman who should be shot or their lack of access, however I cant find any sort of website or E-mail for the company at all, though ironically I did find a business profile which, if I got the company name correct lists them as being based in Guilford, and sinse that is the same country as me I might at least be able to get them on the phone.

Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror
Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror Good luck with that. Dead ends do not count as achievements. Death traps on the other hand ... I shall say no more. The game does require flicking left and right ... if you miss a possible option, just tap an area of the text, the page will turn, do the three finger swipe, and you will find the appropriate button. This comes in handy when you need to double tap the button to roll dice for example or if you have the right key, choosing that instead of the other option.

Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror
Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror I found the three fingers and taps business, my problem with potions is that the button to choose the correct one wasnt immediately obvious, but I got it. I am familiar enough with the ff style to know death traps, hay, just go over to ff project and give House of hades, alabars tomb or Hellfire a go, so I was expecting that, but I do like the sort of tactical maze play elements as opposed to the more tradditional URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=180801#p180801 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror
Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror If only the map was accessible. It is the only thing that doesnt work for the game. However, if you have the bookmark handy, the map is *almost* pointless. If you die, just resume from the bookmarked spot. have beaten the game twice so now Im just in the exploring everything phase.

In this interactive Gamebook adventure, you are at the Academy of the Grand Wizard Eleutheria. You have learned a great deal of magic, of the power ofreason, and the martial arts. Now you yearn for a challenge. You have heard stories of the town of Darkblood, to the East, apparently ruled over by a great but very evil Wizard. The idea in your mind becomes moreexciting — to journey to Darkblood. You wonder what you will find there... You leave the hut as the sun rises, and look at the Tower ahead. It is a forbidding structure, and reminds you of a volcano. But you press on, determined,pushing your way... until you reach the foot of the Tower. A stone archway is ahead of you, and beyond that is darkness.

Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror
Re: New iOS Game: Proteus - The Tower of Terror [[wow]]! this is awsome! I have noticed a number of old 80s gamebooks being ported to the Iphone. unfortunately though, the people doing the porting like tinman and gamebook universe have bugger all interest in access and vo utterly fails with these which is a right royal pain in the arse, so to have one that actually advertises! vo compatibility is fantastic, indeed I might well contact the developer and tell them so. If it werent close to eleven o.clock right now Id definitely grab the thing streight away, but as it stands Ill have to wait until tomorrow, though i definitely will as this is very much my sort of thing.Thanks for letting us know Astral.
