[Audyssey] Barbie, was Adult Games
Hi Raul, A quick google search about Barbie came up with, The Japanese mold sculptors were trying to be as realistic as possible; however Jack Ryan objected to the nipples and filed them down before sending the prototype back to the factory. Apparently he had to do this a few times before they got the idea! Very few early made in the first year or so, 1959 - 1960 Barbies have vague nipples - they are not super-prominent, but can be discerned when compared with other Barbies. - Original Message - From: Raul A.

Re: [Audyssey] Barbie, was Adult Games
The Japanese - Original have a thing about pubic hair as well. in all Manga movies and comic books, along with Playboys and adult magazines, they actually have warehouses of people who scratch off the pubic hair. Just a Japanese thing. Though i have seen a kid's cartoon from Japan who's main character, a Raccoon, crushes his opponents with his testicles. Seems a little Bass Ackwars to me, but what the heck.

Re: [Audyssey] Randomisation in Games was Huge Cave
Dark, I still have it on my todo list (it's actually in the code in a big comment block at the top of look.c so I don't forget about it.) We've been putting most of our effort into improving the low level areas and new player code for the past couple of months, so a lot of other things are taking second stage right now. On the plus side, it looks like that work is starting to pay off - we found and fixed a bunch of choke points where players normally get stuck, and added new material in places where there wasn't quite enough. Both the graveyard crypts and the false temple have been expanded, and we added two new level 10-11 areas on kordan. I'm going to have to take a break on that for a week or so though, we have our 17th anniversary event coming up next weekend. I'm currently setting it up as a six part story with pieces coming out over friday, saturday, and sunday. I'll post more on that in a day or two.

One of the coolest things about modern games in my mind are the randomly generated things that are occasionally really, really cool. Pretty much everything on AA is random number generator driven, and the random number generator is used literally tens of thousands of times per second while we're running. (For those of you interested, the AA server uses an 8 by 32 bit MWC PRNG, which is really fast and high enough quality for pretty much any kind of game.

[Audyssey] full playthrough of sc 3
Okay... so here's a playthrough of Soul Calibur 3's story mode, called Tales of Souls. I actually really like this mode, because of the branching paths and various extra stages and battles available. Basically, you can play through the default story, or you can choose branching paths which change opponents and open up extra stages. There are stages where you need to fight off multiple opponents, and some of them aren't actual characters from the game, like the samurai in the first match. There are two endings, one good and one bad. I get the bad ending in this one, died too many times. I turned the difficulty all the way up... just to see how badly I would do. Not as bad as I feared... I did manage to beat it. lol http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3394499/soul%20calibur%203%20full%20playthrough%20as%20mitsurugi.mp3 Enjoy!

Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients News
Hi Jim, Yeah, it is hard when you are looking for realism, but I think I've solved this staircase issue. I've looked through my archive and have found some alternative stone step sounds. They aren't bad, and they are different enough from the stone floor sounds that you'll instantly know this is the top or bottom of a stone staircase rather than just the floor. Which is really all that counts. Cheers! On 1/6/12, Jim Kitchen j...@kitchensinc.net wrote: Hi Thomas, Maybe for the stairs, you could take the step sound that you have and use Gold Wave, Sound Forge or whatever, and raise or lower the pitch a bit. or add a bit of grit sound, or stretch it, or give it some flanger, or Doppler, or see what it sounds like backwards. But yeah, we have to get a bit creative to depict everything by sound. Like in Triple J Shooter, body parts don't really make a sound when they jiggle or bounce, but I tried to find sounds that would depict that. And in level 4 of Awesome Homer, trees generally don't make noise, so I put a bird in each tree. And in Homer on a Harley, I used the voices of the Simpson's family to mark the turns. It is probably harder and harder when you are going for total realism.

[Audyssey] Eamon delux news and thoughts
Hi everyone. Today I've been testing some of the beta versions for the new eamon delux with it's vi compatibility mode. it's going very well, all the irritations with display are totally gone so that it just displays like any console window dos application, and the developer has completely altered several menues so that now they all have numbers to press, for instance in the character editer to alter your characters' hardiness you now just hit one and then type the new number just like those number driven choices in dos programs. Also, the developer is doing a lot of very nice extra work in the vi mode, such as writing in text descriptions of graphics, and with more of a campeigne mode to be added where you can actually use that gold from adventures to buy improvement for your character (rather than having to cheat with the editer), this is looking like it'll be awsome. Oh and yes, he's also making the dungeon designer accessible too in case anyone would like to write their own eamon games. So, today i've been playing all the beginner eamon delux adventures and having thoughts. As beginner adventures these are not complicated in the least, go into location, slaughter your way through and grab the loot to take back to the main hall to sell for dosh. what is surprising me is how addictive these are, and how just a few lines of description and a very simple system can create an immersive game. The parza is fairly unsophisticated, indeed the only item manipulation commands are put, remove, wear and use, so puzles tend to be a matter of looking in the room description and searching objects for other objects. the combat is equally simple, but at the same time has enough in for variation. Five basic types of weapons with your character gaining experience in them as they use them, a heal, damage, and speed spell with again limited chance of use, and the chance to have your charisma affect your dealings with npcs, meaning they either ignore, fight, or fight along side you. Yet, the system has enough to be interesting, particularly when you've got got three or four allies on your side vs three or four enemies, indeed in those situations you might play healer. Don't mistake me, the system is stil primative. I'm rather sorry for instance there is no menue driven conversation, and some more spells or fighting moves would be nice to have. Also the descriptions obviously vary in quality according to the game, and yet, i've spent considderable time today just running around dungeons hacking up nasties for fun and prophit. So, what Tom has said recently about text games really holds true I think, even though I personally am not a fan of interactive fiction, too many item manipulation commands and puzles that are too obscure. Yet something like a more complex eamon, with some more commands, some more character interaction and some random text would I think be awsome! indeed I might think about creating something like this if I ever start writing games.

Re: [Audyssey] Eamon delux news and thoughts
Hi Dark, This does sound good. Those games are quite addictive as simple as they are, and I think it is the simplicity that makes them so enjoyable. As you pointed out with a lot of text adventures, especially interactive fiction, its often a case of guess the verb or difficult puzzle elements that turns people off playing it. However, text adventures as you've seen don't have to be that way. If and when I do my RPG I agree that keeping the commands simple stupid is the best practice. Its hard to go wrong with commands like put, take, use, wear, equip, etc. if you stick to a few basic commands people can generally go from there. I've even thought that adding a Dos style menu where you simply press a number for the selection is even easier yet. On 1/7/12, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi everyone.

Re: [Audyssey] Last Week was Adult Games
Hi Raul, Yeah, Jenny was pretty beleavable. She definitely was one of the more realistic characters in the game. Although, I think the most realistic was Stacey in terms of her willingness to have sex with Travis. After all, the two use to date, were once romantically involved, and remained good friends. I can see Stacey willing to give it one last try to see if she can perhaps lore him away from Samantha and thus that situation was very believable. The grand winner for most unbelievable character in the game, at least in my book, was Beth. Ok, maybe she might be willing to put out for Travis after he rubs her back and so on, but the entire bit with the jar and cream was a bit over the top. I didn't know to laugh or be grosed out as she talked about using his cream for her personal desserts. That was both totally disgusting and funny at the same time. Lol! Cheers! On 1/6/12, Raul A.

She definitely was one of the more realistic characters in the game. Although, I think the most realistic was Stacey in terms of her willingness to have sex with Travis. After all, the two use to date, were once romantically involved, and remained good friends. I can see Stacey willing to give it one last try to see if she can perhaps lore him away from Samantha and thus that situation was very believable. The grand winner for most unbelievable character in the game, at least in my book, was Beth. Ok, maybe she might be willing to put out for Travis after he rubs her back and so on, but the entire bit with the jar and cream was a bit over the top. I didn't know to laugh or be grosed out as she talked about using his cream for her personal desserts. That was both totally disgusting and funny at the same time. Lol! Cheers! On 1/6/12, Raul A.

Re: [Audyssey] Eamon delux news and thoughts
Yes indeed. The eamon games were a long series of text rpgs produced in the 1980's for the apple Ii computer. Eamon delux is a program to run them under windows. Check the page on audiogames.net for details. The current version of Eamon delux is a litle buggy and has some irritating issues with display, which is why having a new version is so good.

Today I've been testing some of the beta versions for the new eamon delux with it's vi compatibility mode. it's going very well, all the irritations with display are totally gone so that it just displays like any console window dos application, and the developer has completely altered several menues so that now they all have numbers to press, for instance in the character editer to alter your characters' hardiness you now just hit one and then type the new number just like those number driven choices in dos programs. Also, the developer is doing a lot of very nice extra work in the vi mode, such as writing in text descriptions of graphics, and with more of a campeigne mode to be added where you can actually use that gold from adventures to buy improvement for your character (rather than having to cheat with the editer), this is looking like it'll be awsome. Oh and yes, he's also making the dungeon designer accessible too in case anyone would like to write their own eamon games. So, today i've been playing all the beginner eamon delux adventures and having thoughts. As beginner adventures these are not complicated in the least, go into location, slaughter your way through and grab the loot to take back to the main hall to sell for dosh. what is surprising me is how addictive these are, and how just a few lines of description and a very simple system can create an immersive game. The parza is fairly unsophisticated, indeed the only item manipulation commands are put, remove, wear and use, so puzles tend to be a matter of looking in the room description and searching objects for other objects. the combat is equally simple, but at the same time has enough in for variation. Five basic types of weapons with your character gaining experience in them as they use them, a heal, damage, and speed spell with again limited chance of use, and the chance to have your charisma affect your dealings with npcs, meaning they either ignore, fight, or fight along side you. Yet, the system has enough to be interesting, particularly when you've got got three or four allies on your side vs three or four enemies, indeed in those situations you might play healer. Don't mistake me, the system is stil primative. I'm rather sorry for instance there is no menue driven conversation, and some more spells or fighting moves would be nice to have. Also the descriptions obviously vary in quality according to the game, and yet, i've spent considderable time today just running around dungeons hacking up nasties for fun and prophit. So, what Tom has said recently about text games really holds true I think, even though I personally am not a fan of interactive fiction, too many item manipulation commands and puzles that are too obscure. Yet something like a more complex eamon, with some more commands, some more character interaction and some random text would I think be awsome! indeed I might think about creating something like this if I ever start writing games.

Re: [Audyssey] Eamon delux news and thoughts
Hi Tom. I'm actually much more a fan of limited commands in these cases. As I've said before, interactive fiction was something I played a great deal of at one point, but don't tend to anymore sinse for every really good game I found I found four or five more that just got frustrating, either because the puzzles were utterly illogical, or required some very weerd verbs. For instance, suppose you find a gun and a silencer, what is the command. put silencer on gun?, use silencer with gun?, silence gun?, Screw silencer onto gun? Screw silencer onto barrel there are so many different ways of saying the same thing, yet if you get the wrong one, the game just won't react. However simply having a use x with x parza, there's no question with what you need to do. Also, the fewer verbs there are in the parza, the more obscure the puzles can be sinse more limited your choice of actions, the more likely you are to hit upon the right one. For example, the game Broken sword which was one of those point and click graphic adventures like Monkey island, so had limted verbs, had one puzzle where you had to climb a haystack. one item you had at the time was a large sewer key a couple of feet long. in an if game you could've spent ages mucking about with commands, but in Broken sword simply using the key with the haystack let you push it into the hay half way up and use it as a step to climb. This is just what I mean. then, having combat in a game gives you a way to interact with your environment and have some fun as well. Beware the grue!

Those games are quite addictive as simple as they are, and I think it is the simplicity that makes them so enjoyable. As you pointed out with a lot of text adventures, especially interactive fiction, its often a case of guess the verb or difficult puzzle elements that turns people off playing it. However, text adventures as you've seen don't have to be that way. If and when I do my RPG I agree that keeping the commands simple stupid is the best practice. Its hard to go wrong with commands like put, take, use, wear, equip, etc. if you stick to a few basic commands people can generally go from there.
