Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
Uhmmm, The first Idea, would be unreal for Thomas as I see it. But, the Second one sounds like a winner. But, I wouldn't outright give the engine out for free. I think a subscription base should be added, as the game is being developed so that way it covers the cost of time that Thomas would have to answer a billion questions and bug searching he would have to do. Then if that Developer makes a game, and have it hosted on USA games site which I would put mine, would then get a free few months on the subscription deal or have it where for every 10 games the developer get a month free?

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
Hello tom. wel I agree with both of your purposes there, afterall I do rather like Monti, so more games designed by you would certainly be good. Sinse the main interest for me in any game is exploration, be it physical exploration of a map, or various environments, or slowly exploring a plot, I deffinately appreciate the trouble with audio games. I've been considdering learning programming for a while, especially considdering I have studdied formal logic. However, on the one hand I don't like the idea of attempting to juggle my Phd thesis (which is also related to disability), and learning programming, and on the other, it seems that I'd have to spend quite a long while learning enough to create the sort of game I'd be interested in creating. That's why I was so interested in the agm, sinse it meant I could take a short cut and skip streight to game design, recording of the plot, designing the large levels etc, and that's why i'd be interested in something like the genesis engine, so I'm glad the price will be reasonable.

Re: [Audyssey] Other ideas for Monopoly
Hi Dark, Actually win was not a dos command. Well not until Windows was created and then that command would start Windows. Hal would never have done anything on my computer either since I never had Hal on my computer. The other day I copied all of the files from my old dos hard drives onto my USB drive. I just wrote a little batch file that will switch to that drive and the correct folder and start the game Leather Goddesses of Phobos. I have not played that game for some time. But hey it was working nicely with Jaws in say all mode. I even found something that I did not remember from the game. There is a comic book in your back pocket and if you read it it reads differently depending on your circumstance. Think that I will have to investigate that as a source of hints. I know that I never used it before to win the game. BFN Jim A red nose can be the result of sunshine or moonshine.

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
I like that idea about getting one or a few months free for every game you submit. It might actually encourage people to submit the games to Thomas. This means that there would be more games that could be found in one place. Not only that, but it'd be easier on the developers. They wouldn't have to worry about finding a place to sell, setting up a domain, etc. now, if people wanted to go on their own, that'd be fine too. They'd just have to pay the subscription fees every month, or whenever it would be. On another note, something to consider is who retains ownership over the games. I think that if a developer submits a game, USA Games owns it, and the credit for the concept, design, etc, goes to the developer.

Re: [Audyssey] say what?
I got one as well, (mr. Clause is a generous fellow). There are actually five balls, and several different modes to the game. time mode, where you get as many guesses as you like within a limited time, and guess mode where you have a limited number of guesses, as well as extreme time and guess modes (10 seconds per round, or one guess). You can also play with multiple players one after another as well. the only down side to the game I can see, is that in the two easier settings, where you get one or two bits of the phrase set correctly at the start for you (one or two balls in the right place), There is no audio clue as to which balls ar right and which are not, sinse the one or two balls already in the correct order light up to signify that they should not be moved. Of course, on the hardest (and also the default) setting, none of the balls are lit, and they all need to be moved (the entire phraise is scrambled). this just means that slightly more persistance is required from a totally blind gamer, sinse they do not have the oppertunity to practice with the two easier settings. then again though, the real challenge is playing on the default hard setting anyway, and of course sinse it is the default setting, you don't have to worry about changing it. On the pluss side, all the modes and menues are entirely auditory, and the buttons are easy to distinguish, making it easy to opperate.

Hi Thomas, I had a couple ideas about this new engine that might solve, or at least put a dent in the pricing problems. Maybe there could be 2 versions of the engine. One would be free, or very low priced, and would only let people make games to play on their own computers only. The second version would be the real deal that would let people make stand-alone games. This would work like the learning version of Visual Basic, allowing people to see if they want to buy the full version or not. The user who wants to develop games for sale could buy the full version, and the hobbyist could just use the demo version. The second idea deals more with overall pricing and the sale of games made by the engine. In addition to a one-time license fee for a product key, you could give the customer code to put in their online shopping cart. I'm not entirely sure how this would work. Either that, or you could host all the games on a created games page and make it so 25% of those sales go to you directly, with the remaining 75% going to the developer. If you're including the ordering wizard in the package, you could have something in there too. Maybe an email address that's specifically for the sale of games made with your engine by other developers. It would almost be like hiring employees for USA Games. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder in the Sarah game
Hi Folks, Happy Holidays! I was hoping to have the next Sarah game patch out by Christmas but it is going to take a little longer. I decided to add a few items to the Slytherin common room for those with Registration keys. Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder, blinds everyone for five minutes. This will stop everyone from moving and Sarah will not have her navigation hot keys for that time. Sarah will still be able to move around in darkness and the creatures and objects will still talk, but she will not be able to locate them except for the sound they make. Of course if Sarah finds the Hand of Glory, which is a shriveled-up arm, that gives light only to the holder, it will allow her to see in darkness for five minutes. I will be testing these items today and hope to have the patch finished before the new year.

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
Hi Bryan, Yeah, I'd rather not get caught up in the old this dev is better than the other dev discussion. All I will say is that my desire in creating Genesis is to make game creation technology available for people who have neither the time, money, or skills to create their own games. On the other hand making the technology absolutely free is a pipe dream, but that doesn't mean I have to charge thousands of dollars up front either. One practical solution for this is to base the engines income on the percentage of sales earned by an associate game developer using the engine. If I have a standing agreement for 25% in royalty fees and that dev makes $1000 I get $250 in royalties. That isn't too bad if you are selling the games you create with the engine. The only flaw with that plan is the type of game developers who just want to play around with it and make free games. They wouldn't be paying me royalties, and I'd be losing money. So at a minimum there would still have to be some sort of up front fee for purchasing the software, but I don't know as yet what would be a fair price for an up front price.

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
Hi Bryan, Not without allot of reworking of the engine's internal code which I'm not sure I want to do at this point. As I have stated on list already Genesis is primarily created to design First Person games like Shades of Doom, Sarah, etc. RPG games like Final Fantacy, Zelda, etc requires a completely and totally different direction in programming and code design for the engine. That isn't to say it can't be added in future updates of the engine. Roll Playing Games are fundimentally different from First Person games. First Person games don't usually track experience points, add new skills, etc. RPG games are all about developing your character, adding new skills, getting better armour, finding a better sword, bla. I suppose some RPG elements will appear in the final release of Genesis since it is a hot topic amung RPG gamers, but at this point I am not specifically targeting that genre of game. Bryan wrote: Hmmm, could it be used to create, say, a game in the style of Legend of Zelda? I'm not necessarily talkin one of the newer games, at least not yet. I mean something like the original.

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
So FPS style games. That puts me in mind of games like Metroid Prime. Here we go on the Metroid thing again. Of ourse that might be tricky to do in audio so I don't know if Genesis could handle it. The whole thing about Metroid was that you'd have to jump to platforms often above and below you, so the tric would be representing that in audio, although I have some ideas of how that could be done with pitch changes. You could still create a similar styled game while leaving out all the really advanced stuff such as the scan visor and stuff like that. Come to think of it though, Shades of Doom almost incorporates that in the EVA, although all the EVA gives you is the name of and distance to the monster. The Metroid Prime scanner gave you all sorts of cool information about each monster that might be difficult to reproduce.

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
Hi Dark, Very very true. Learning how to do triditional programming is not an easy process for anyone. Even if you get formal training from a tech school or college knowing is only half the battle. The other half, perhaps the more important half, is experience. Gaining the experience it requires to do things right takes years of practice, trial, and error. A really good programmer only really begins learning out in the field not in a class room. Looking back I can see how much I have grown in 10 years. Back in the late 90's, in college, I thought I was one cool programmer because I learned a little C++, Visual Basic 5, SQL, and Java. It was only after I left college I discovered I didn't know one-quarter of one-half of what I thought I knew. You see, I knew the basic skills of a programmer, but had no experience in using what I had learned in college to program from point A to point Z. Programming a simple calculator in C is nothing like writing an entire audio game in the same language. All the calculator does is teaches you some of the basic skills of using the language which will be useful in building that audio game, but not give you an exact road map to follow. This is where Genesis comes in. I get to place my skills, experience, and training in the engine, and the developers can use it to quickly and rapidly build new games with no programming skills, experience, or training required. dark wrote: Hello tom. wel I agree with both of your purposes there, afterall I do rather like Monti, so more games designed by you would certainly be good. Sinse the main interest for me in any game is exploration, be it physical exploration of a map, or various environments, or slowly exploring a plot, I deffinately appreciate the trouble with audio games. I've been considdering learning programming for a while, especially considdering I have studdied formal logic. However, on the one hand I don't like the idea of attempting to juggle my Phd thesis (which is also related to disability), and learning programming, and on the other, it seems that I'd have to spend quite a long while learning enough to create the sort of game I'd be interested in creating. That's why I was so interested in the agm, sinse it meant I could take a short cut and skip streight to game design, recording of the plot, designing the large levels etc, and that's why i'd be interested in something like the genesis engine, so I'm glad the price will be reasonable.

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
Hi Stefen, Well, I suppose it would be possible to create a demo or trial eddition which would allow the developers to create a game with one playable level. It would take some extra work, but might be a good selling feature. I could restrict features like exclude the ability to save and load games in the games you create, one playable level, etc. It would allow people to evaluate or make a free game, but not have access to all the engine offers. As for selling the games via USA Games that could work. I could process the orders, use my shopping cart, and then if the other party has a Paypal account I could send them their portion of the payments after I deduct any licensing and credit card fees associated with using my shopping cart and engine. Stefen Hudson wrote: Hi Thomas, I had a couple ideas about this new engine that might solve, or at least put a dent in the pricing problems. Maybe there could be 2 versions of the engine. One would be free, or very low priced, and would only let people make games to play on their own computers only. The second version would be the real deal that would let people make stand-alone games. This would work like the learning version of Visual Basic, allowing people to see if they want to buy the full version or not. The user who wants to develop games for sale could buy the full version, and the hobbyist could just use the demo version. The second idea deals more with overall pricing and the sale of games made by the engine. In addition to a one-time license fee for a product key, you could give the customer code to put in their online shopping cart. I'm not entirely sure how this would work. Either that, or you could host all the games on a created games page and make it so 25% of those sales go to you directly, with the remaining 75% going to the developer. If you're including the ordering wizard in the package, you could have something in there too. Maybe an email address that's specifically for the sale of games made with your engine by other developers. It would almost be like hiring employees for USA Games. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
Hi Stefen, I wouldn't feel right claming ownership over any games using my engine, but I would expect some sort of royalty fee for using it in their games. After all I did the hard work in making the engine, maintaining it, and probably answering there tech support questions so asking for a percentage of their sales using the engine is only fair. As for selling via my web site there would have to be some transaction fees associated with the sales through my web site. I have to pay $1.90 for every credit card transaction that Pay Pal processes for me so Pay Pal would take that immediately out of any sales made on my web site regardless of who made the game. As for one month free for every game you make that could potentially be allot of lost income for me. If the developer is selling allot of games at that time I wouldn't be getting my cut which I wouldn't like since I did the majority of the work for the engine. Stefen Hudson wrote: I like that idea about getting one or a few months free for every game you submit. It might actually encourage people to submit the games to Thomas. This means that there would be more games that could be found in one place. Not only that, but it'd be easier on the developers. They wouldn't have to worry about finding a place to sell, setting up a domain, etc. now, if people wanted to go on their own, that'd be fine too. They'd just have to pay the subscription fees every month, or whenever it would be. On another note, something to consider is who retains ownership over the games.

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
Hi Bryan, Actually, I think something similar to Metroid Prime. should be possible with Genesis. After all I am designing the engine to create games like Megaman, Halo, etc and Metroid would fall in that kind of catagory. You could draw the metal platforms, attach an environment effect to them, and reset the pitch of those platform sounds to make it sound like one is above or below you. As for the scan visor it should be possible. The engine has the ability to give you the distance, direction, and type of objects in the current room or region. Bryan wrote: So FPS style games. That puts me in mind of games like Metroid Prime. Here we go on the Metroid thing again. Of ourse that might be tricky to do in audio so I don't know if Genesis could handle it. The whole thing about Metroid was that you'd have to jump to platforms often above and below you, so the tric would be representing that in audio, although I have some ideas of how that could be done with pitch changes. You could still create a similar styled game while leaving out all the really advanced stuff such as the scan visor and stuff like that. Come to think of it though, Shades of Doom almost incorporates that in the EVA, although all the EVA gives you is the name of and distance to the monster. The Metroid Prime scanner gave you all sorts of cool information about each monster that might be difficult to reproduce.

Hi Bryan, yes, writing two different versions would be programming murder.

At present the player class is 1400 lines of code alone, and I haven't even finished the player class. The engine when complete looks like it will be at least 5 lines of code at a minimum.

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
Hi Willem, Unfortunately, it is not that simple. Since Genesis is designed to be 100% modular that means someone could generate a free game *.exe file, name it to the name of one of my games, copy in the exe file and play it with no security restrictions. Oops, all my games are cracked just like that. In order to prevent that specific type of crack each level would have to be linked some how to the commercial game.exe file which would make them incompatible with the free game.exe file. You can probably see that this would not be easy, and could potentially add major conflicts by intentionally introducing incompatibilities in the engine to reject this or that file while excepting others.

You can also play with multiple players one after another as well. the only down side to the game I can see, is that in the two easier settings, where you get one or two bits of the phrase set correctly at the start for you (one or two balls in the right place), There is no audio clue as to which balls ar right and which are not, sinse the one or two balls already in the correct order light up to signify that they should not be moved. Of course, on the hardest (and also the default) setting, none of the balls are lit, and they all need to be moved (the entire phraise is scrambled). this just means that slightly more persistance is required from a totally blind gamer, sinse they do not have the oppertunity to practice with the two easier settings. then again though, the real challenge is playing on the default hard setting anyway, and of course sinse it is the default setting, you don't have to worry about changing it.

Re: [Audyssey] Piracy and code generator
Hi Claudio, For security reasons I can't and won't reveal in any detail how this works, but I will give you a very simple explanation. Basically, the key generator uses specific code that generates the product keys. Monte has the reverse code which basically reverses the process. It takes the key and sees if it matches the right values that initially generated the key. If the key and the initial values match the game is unlocked. Now, as for how encryption goes there is lots of documentation on the net on how to make encryption keys which can be encrypted and decrypted. Claudio wrote: Hello Thomas and all!

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
Hi Willem, Right. The way this works is there is a directory in your Genesis 3D installation directory called skeleton. This contains things like Genesis3D.dll, Untitled.exe, Game.cfg, etc. You copy those files into your project folder since those files are the core engine that actually runs your game. You would rename Untitled.exe to the name of your game like Doom.exe. With the Genesis editor you would basically create the games levels, characters, asign sound effects, etc which would save your files in something like Genesis3D\Project\Levels. When you press enter on *.exe it should run, load your levels, and hopefully be ready to play. Willem wrote: Yeah I see what you mean.

Re: [Audyssey] Sryth: phantom assassin inquiry
If you mean the special items as in Tsal-Kagoth, the dragonwing breastplate and the like, you can't get them through the phantom assassin quest anymore, the only way to get one of them is through the haunting in Durnsig quest, and then you can only have one, whereas back in the day you could get in theory as many as you wanted. - Original Message - From: simon.dowling [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 7:51 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Sryth: phantom assassin inquiry hi you have to go to trithic for that one and see the thain. when you accept it, you have to choose explore the realm at random i thinks so, and i think there are 9 to defeat, remember to collect the weapons of the dead as they can fetch you a lot in tryndmoor. hth http://www.secretsthatwekeep.com/003 Simon creator and owner of the winmx4theblind mailing list. to find out more visit http://groups.google.com/group/winmx4theblind Group email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] msn, [EMAIL PROTECTED] skype, slifinger - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, December 28, 2007 2:01 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Sryth: phantom assassin inquiry Hi list, I don't know if this applies to me or not, but Here I go.

Re: [Audyssey] say what?
Hay Charles! I too have one of these Say What games, and the answer to your question is this. There are five balls that when the phrase is spoken each ballrepresents a word in the phrase. For instance the phrase my be something like this I like to play games. The game will say something like, play. I. games to. each word is represented by a ball, and you move them around to different places to get the correct phrase, I like to play games. It's Cool, they make this great popping sound when you pick up a ball to reposition it. My only complaint is like the Nemesis game it has no volume control knob or switch to lower the volume. It can be kinda loud some times depending on your situation. I picked mine up at my local Target store for around twenty bucks. You can also find them on Amazon.com. HTH and Happy New Year to All!

There are nine in total, including the PPhantom himself. But either those items are no longer available or they're just extremely tough to find, because even while they were supposedly available I never found them.

Re: [Audyssey] Sryth: phantom assassin inquiry
Actually when it comes to weapons I've noticed that Mezaryl is the best person to sell to. She'll give you like 700 or so for Blalak's Broadsword versus the 300 or whatever you get from Bryniver. Granted sometimes he gives you a better price on certain magical weapons but most of the time Mezaryl's the one you should see.

Re: [Audyssey] say what?
Each ball represents part of a phrase. You take the balls out of the game and put them back in a different order, so if the game says two heads are better than one, the ball on the left represents two heads. the next ball represents are then the third ball represents better and so on--but that's in the right order. When it starts, the first ball might be one, or are. You have to find the right order. Ken Downey President DreamTechInteractive! And, Coming soon, Blind Comfort!

Re: [Audyssey] Game Engine Discussion.
that would rock tom. I decided to try to do programming once but its not my thing, pluss I don't have all the power for it, agm was a dissapointment, g3d if I can do things in that I'd be happy to try. At 07:02 a.m. 28/12/2007, you wrote: Hi Dark, Very very true. Learning how to do triditional programming is not an easy process for anyone. Even if you get formal training from a tech school or college knowing is only half the battle. The other half, perhaps the more important half, is experience. Gaining the experience it requires to do things right takes years of practice, trial, and error. A really good programmer only really begins learning out in the field not in a class room. Looking back I can see how much I have grown in 10 years. Back in the late 90's, in college, I thought I was one cool programmer because I learned a little C++, Visual Basic 5, SQL, and Java. It was only after I left college I discovered I didn't know one-quarter of one-half of what I thought I knew. You see, I knew the basic skills of a programmer, but had no experience in using what I had learned in college to program from point A to point Z. Programming a simple calculator in C is nothing like writing an entire audio game in the same language. All the calculator does is teaches you some of the basic skills of using the language which will be useful in building that audio game, but not give you an exact road map to follow. This is where Genesis comes in. I get to place my skills, experience, and training in the engine, and the developers can use it to quickly and rapidly build new games with no programming skills, experience, or training required. dark wrote: Hello tom. wel I agree with both of your purposes there, afterall I do rather like Monti, so more games designed by you would certainly be good. Sinse the main interest for me in any game is exploration, be it physical exploration of a map, or various environments, or slowly exploring a plot, I deffinately appreciate the trouble with audio games. I've been considdering learning programming for a while, especially considdering I have studdied formal logic. However, on the one hand I don't like the idea of attempting to juggle my Phd thesis (which is also related to disability), and learning programming, and on the other, it seems that I'd have to spend quite a long while learning enough to create the sort of game I'd be interested in creating. That's why I was so interested in the agm, sinse it meant I could take a short cut and skip streight to game design, recording of the plot, designing the large levels etc, and that's why i'd be interested in something like the genesis engine, so I'm glad the price will be reasonable.
