Re: [Audyssey] Playing the Spaceship Game
Hi, You said you hope he releases a patch -- I understand this, so you can use the page up and page down, but remember that philip doesn't want that considered in the ratings if he does release a patch, as that would be like giving him more time than 2 months to work on the game -- this is why he is hosting them himself, so they can't be changed after they've been released for the competition. Just figured I'd throw that out there. -Michael. -Original Message- From: Thomas Ward Sent: Friday, April 06, 2012 12:39 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Playing the Spaceship Game Hi Michael, I've been trying to give Spaceship a chance, but I am continually frustrated by the game.

Start with the regular game. The fighting practice should probably have been named survival mode, or something similar. The regular game itself actually does a good job of explaining what is going on and the descriptions of enemies are given as they're introduced. Secondly, turn off the music. There is a static sound near the center of each level which seems to be just an ambiance noise. Everything else in the enemies. Basically, use the arrow keys to move around in the area, the page up and page down keys do not work for me, and either get a line of sight to the enemy, which can be determined both by the stereo position and by the look feature, and use the control plus directional to fire at the enemy, or get as close as you can, drop a mine, and run.

Hi ns studios. To be honest the games were to simple. Maybe part of it was my expectations being to high but the challenge was not there.

The snowball game I never got used to and the others well you could always garenty a win or almost allways. is it me or is it just to easy.

[Audyssey] swamp missions and death
I've been playing swamp a lot recently, and it seems that dying in missions is rather harsh. I've had multiple times where I've spent 5000 reputation or more to prepare for a mission, and because certain people were doing nothing but blasting zombies ended up getting mobbed with crates. While I do see the point in loosing something if you die, I don't feel that *everything* you own and fought for needs to get trashed.

[Audyssey] Help with running Swamp using Vmware Fusion
Hi all, Okay, so I have one of the weirdest problems with Swamp. Basically I can set my name and stuff, with a bit of haggling because the name edit box seems to lose focus especially when using System Access. Using jaws seems to be fine but using sapi it also loses focus. Anyway, the sad thing about this is that when I connect, Sapi or whatever screen reader I have it set to does not say what it's suposed to say, the donation sponsor for today. The way to make it speak is by alt-tabing away from the window and it will speak. Also when I am in the swamp window I hear the chat message sound of them coming in, but I can't hear Sapi speak them. Again, moving away from the Swamp window will speak them as they come in. Sounds won't play though. The only time when the ambience seem to play is when, for example, I fittle with the game to get into the main menu and go to try and change something like my name. That's when things like the safe zone guard messages will play and I hear things like radar. Even when exiting the game, when clicking exit game it doesn't even exit, again I move away and the window disappears. Another thing that is happening is in the main menu, most menu items speak but the one that isn't is the voice. I hear the voice file, but Sapi doesn't say something like Voice set to Matt or whatever. I know people on a Mac using Vmware Fusion just fine and they don't have these issues. 1.8B worked just fine here. Not sure if I happened to do something; anyone have any suggestions?

Re: [Audyssey] swamp missions and death
This is actually pretty typical of the fps genre. Especially multiplayer ones... if you die or get killed by another player, you always lose your weapon... and the point is to stay alive as long as you can hold out and kill as many things as you can. But personally, I think that because Swamp uses a system more like rpgs where you buy your weapons you should be able to have at least your personalized item box or something at the safe zone so you don't lose absolutely everything. Even resident Evil games have this, where in every place where you can save a game you can drop things in your item box or get other equipment you put away earlier, and I think this would be a good idea . I just spent so much time getting rep, buy something good and then die and lose it ad have to regain all that lost rep, and it is absolutely infuriating. haha - Original Message - From: Ken kenwdow...@neo.rr.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, April 06, 2012 11:02 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] swamp missions and death That's why we need a locker system, at least for diessel and perhaps other things u might choose to save. - Original Message - From: john jpcarnemo...@comcast.net To: gamers gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, April 06, 2012 1:07 PM Subject: [Audyssey] swamp missions and death I've been playing swamp a lot recently, and it seems that dying in missions is rather harsh.

Anyway, the sad thing about this is that when I connect, Sapi or whatever screen reader I have it set to does not say what it's suposed to say, the donation sponsor for today. The way to make it speak is by alt-tabing away from the window and it will speak. Also when I am in the swamp window I hear the chat message sound of them coming in, but I can't hear Sapi speak them. Again, moving away from the Swamp window will speak them as they come in. Sounds won't play though. The only time when the ambience seem to play is when, for example, I fittle with the game to get into the main menu and go to try and change something like my name. That's when things like the safe zone guard messages will play and I hear things like radar. Even when exiting the game, when clicking exit game it doesn't even exit, again I move away and the window disappears. Another thing that is happening is in the main menu, most menu items speak but the one that isn't is the voice. I hear the voice file, but Sapi doesn't say something like Voice set to Matt or whatever. I know people on a Mac using Vmware Fusion just fine and they don't have these issues. 1.8B worked just fine here. Not sure if I happened to do something; anyone have any suggestions?

Re: [Audyssey] swamp missions and death
My thoughts, death on missions is no more harsh than anywhere else, especially considering what you stand to gain if you survive, as compared with the comparable time looting. I completely disagree with any change that waters down the already weakened consequences of dying, especially when you stand to gain for five minutes of survival rep and experience that would take hours of looting to gain. Big risk, big reward. Too risky, don't go on missions. And by the way, I say this who am trying to learn some new styles of play and thus am dying quite frequently, and have certainly lost 20,000 rep worth of equipment at various times. I'd favor a lives system, where once your lives are gone you start over from zero. Perhaps gaining a level gives you a new life. I know this won't be adopted as too many people would shriek about it being unfair, never mind that it's a gaming standard in the mainstream world.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp missions and death
Hi, Just because some mainstream games have this method doesn't mean all games for the mainstream community or otherwise have to have it... I mean after all there are a fare few games for the mainstream gaming community that allow you to put things in banks or whatever they might call them, runescape being a very notable example. I think any strategy you can imagine from letting you keep everything when you die to having lives to having banks to having check points to almost anything else can be found in the mainstream gaming community, so let's remain open here, I say.

Sadly, there are some complications with the version he posted that are of my own making. I recently posted a fix for these issues, and also enhanced some sounds to compensate. Below is my original post to the Audiogames forum, including the relevant links for download: The Swamp release that was just put out had some issues of my own making; I neglected to convert some files from 24-bit to 16-bit. Swamp is unable to handle 24-bit files, so you'll receive a lot of debug errors and also not be able to hear those sounds. To amend this, I've repackaged and re-released Swamp 1.9B, and while doing so also included updated sounds for several weapons and menu/detection sounds. The file is a self-extracting archive, and will attempt to launch Swamp upon successful extraction. I've made the file available on both Dropbox and Sendspace, in case one or the other messes up. I've also uploaded the file to Jeremy's server, so maybe he'll be able to reflect the change later on. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6855861/Swamp-1.9B.exe http://www.sendspace.com/file/uc8nhl Enjoy, and apologies for the discrepancy.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games News
well, it looks like from some elements that there is a compitition going on against bgt... - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Audyssey Mailing List gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, March 30, 2012 8:57 AM Subject: [Audyssey] USA Games News USA Games News Mar. 29, 2012 Introduction Hello, gamers. Welcome to another edition of the USA Games News. As it has been quite a while since we've written one of these news letters and there have been several questions as to the fate of Mysteries of the Ancients over the last few months we only thought it was fair to bring you up to speed as to what we are doing and what you can expect from us in the future. However, it must be said up front that Mysteries of the Ancients is only one of several products currently in development. While we are continuing work on Mysteries of the Ancients, which has recently been renamed for reasons explained later in this news letter, we are also moving forward with a few other projects we've wanted to develop for a long time, but have been delayed time after time by Mysteries of the Ancients. So without further introduction here is the news. Ark of Hope Over the last month we have been developing a new game called Tomb Hunter: The Ark of Hope. This game is very similar to Mysteries of the Ancients, but has an all new storyline, new levels, and of course several updates that did not make it into the final beta of Mysteries of the Ancients. In this revised version of the game world re noun archeologist, Dr. Angela Carter, travels to Greece in search of Pandora's Box. Legend has it that when Pandora opened the box she let out all the evil and suffering in the world and closed the box trapping hope inside. Now, Dr Angela Carter is in search of Pandora's Box and intends to open it. However, her quest will not be an easy one. She must explore 12 Erie underground tombs filled with deadly traps including: fire pits, sharp metal spikes, falling rocks, deep chasms, rolling boulders, pits filled with boiling lava, and more. She must fight or flee several unworldly creatures such as: sword wielding skeletons, undead zombie warriors, flying harpies, and mighty centaurs. Along the way she will pick up and collect gold coins, ancient reed torches, precious jewels, and pieces of a long lost scroll that will lead her to Pandora's Box. As I said earlier many of the game play elements will be similar to Mysteries of the Ancients, but there will be differences as well. We've been updating some sounds, music, as well as redesigning all 12 levels from scratch. In addition to those changes we've been adding more traps, expanding the levels, and have been adding some extra features as well. So stay tuned for news as this project develops. Open G3D For the last couple of months we've been working on a project we feel will greatly aid audio game developers called Open G3D. We've actually been working on the project for a couple of years, but were unable to move forward with the project do to technical details. What we wanted was a game engine that met a number of criteria that were difficult to meet, and it took quite a lot of time and research to come up with a workable solution. In short, we wanted an engine that was easy to develop, an engine that was easy to use, and would work on Mac, Linux, Windows, and perhaps other platforms as well. Needless to say meeting this criteria was difficult to do because there is a lot of technical considerations involved in cross-platform game development in addition to the fact we wanted to create a user friendly experience for everyone. For example, the Genesis Engine that we use to develop Mysteries of the Ancients, Raceway, etc is written in C++. While C++ is arguably one of the best languages for professional game development, is considered to be the industry standard, it was never intended to be a language for beginners and therefore isn't very easy to work with. We wanted to eliminate this issue by using an off the shelf language that has a history of being simple and straight forward while not sacrificing the power of a full blown programming language like C++. At the same time we wanted to be able to design a build once run anywhere type engine so we could produce games for non-Windows platforms. As someone who does not regularly use Windows, preferring to use Linux instead, we are well aware of the fact that the desire for more games for Mac OS and Linux is growing. Unfortunately, since most of the accessible games and game development tools are designed for Windows those of us who choose to use Linux, Mac OS, or some other alternative operating system often get ignored. By producing a cross-platform solution we hope that we can make it both easier and less difficult for developers to

Welcome to another edition of the USA Games News. As it has been quite a while since we've written one of these news letters and there have been several questions as to the fate of Mysteries of the Ancients over the last few months we only thought it was fair to bring you up to speed as to what we are doing and what you can expect from us in the future. However, it must be said up front that Mysteries of the Ancients is only one of several products currently in development. While we are continuing work on Mysteries of the Ancients, which has recently been renamed for reasons explained later in this news letter, we are also moving forward with a few other projects we've wanted to develop for a long time, but have been delayed time after time by Mysteries of the Ancients. So without further introduction here is the news. Ark of Hope Over the last month we have been developing a new game called Tomb Hunter: The Ark of Hope. This game is very similar to Mysteries of the Ancients, but has an all new storyline, new levels, and of course several updates that did not make it into the final beta of Mysteries of the Ancients. In this revised version of the game world re noun archeologist, Dr. Angela Carter, travels to Greece in search of Pandora's Box. Legend has it that when Pandora opened the box she let out all the evil and suffering in the world and closed the box trapping hope inside. Now, Dr Angela Carter is in search of Pandora's Box and intends to open it. However, her quest will not be an easy one. She must explore 12 Erie underground tombs filled with deadly traps including: fire pits, sharp metal spikes, falling rocks, deep chasms, rolling boulders, pits filled with boiling lava, and more. She must fight or flee several unworldly creatures such as: sword wielding skeletons, undead zombie warriors, flying harpies, and mighty centaurs. Along the way she will pick up and collect gold coins, ancient reed torches, precious jewels, and pieces of a long lost scroll that will lead her to Pandora's Box. As I said earlier many of the game play elements will be similar to Mysteries of the Ancients, but there will be differences as well. We've been updating some sounds, music, as well as redesigning all 12 levels from scratch. In addition to those changes we've been adding more traps, expanding the levels, and have been adding some extra features as well. So stay tuned for news as this project develops. Open G3D For the last couple of months we've been working on a project we feel will greatly aid audio game developers called Open G3D. We've actually been working on the project for a couple of years, but were unable to move forward with the project do to technical details. What we wanted was a game engine that met a number of criteria that were difficult to meet, and it took quite a lot of time and research to come up with a workable solution. In short, we wanted an engine that was easy to develop, an engine that was easy to use, and would work on Mac, Linux, Windows, and perhaps other platforms as well. Needless to say meeting this criteria was difficult to do because there is a lot of technical considerations involved in cross-platform game development in addition to the fact we wanted to create a user friendly experience for everyone. For example, the Genesis Engine that we use to develop Mysteries of the Ancients, Raceway, etc is written in C++. While C++ is arguably one of the best languages for professional game development, is considered to be the industry standard, it was never intended to be a language for beginners and therefore isn't very easy to work with. We wanted to eliminate this issue by using an off the shelf language that has a history of being simple and straight forward while not sacrificing the power of a full blown programming language like C++. At the same time we wanted to be able to design a build once run anywhere type engine so we could produce games for non-Windows platforms. As someone who does not regularly use Windows, preferring to use Linux instead, we are well aware of the fact that the desire for more games for Mac OS and Linux is growing. Unfortunately, since most of the accessible games and game development tools are designed for Windows those of us who choose to use Linux, Mac OS, or some other alternative operating system often get ignored. By producing a cross-platform solution we hope that we can make it both easier and less difficult for developers to produce more cross-platform games. In

But personally, I think that because Swamp uses a system more like rpgs where you buy your weapons you should be able to have at least your personalized item box or something at the safe zone so you don't lose absolutely everything. Even resident Evil games have this, where in every place where you can save a game you can drop things in your item box or get other equipment you put away earlier, and I think this would be a good idea .

I completely disagree with any change that waters down the already weakened consequences of dying, especially when you stand to gain for five minutes of survival rep and experience that would take hours of looting to gain. Big risk, big reward. Too risky, don't go on missions. And by the way, I say this who am trying to learn some new styles of play and thus am dying quite frequently, and have certainly lost 20,000 rep worth of equipment at various times. I'd favor a lives system, where once your lives are gone you start over from zero. Perhaps gaining a level gives you a new life. I know this won't be adopted as too many people would shriek about it being unfair, never mind that it's a gaming standard in the mainstream world.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games News
Hi, Hmmm...Well, I guess you could say that. However, the purpose of the engine I am working on is to enable developers to design free and open source games for other platforms like Linux and Mac OS that unfortunately do not get much attention from game developers. I suppose the engine could be used for commercial games as well, but I don't claim that the open source engine I'm working on will be as good as BGT. There are limitations in cross-platform development that make it difficult to get a feature by feature comparison on all platforms involved. Especially, when we are dealing with a generic game programming API like Pygame. For example, the mixer that comes with Pygame, SDL Mixer, is capable of basic 2d stereo panning and controling the volume of sounds, but there isn't any kind of true 3d virtualization and you can't set the pitch. Both of these are serious limitations in my book and require a more professional sound mixer like FMOD or perhaps OpenAL. Which are preferable for a game engine like this. So although I'm excited to see what can be done with the new engine its sadly not quite on par with BGT given the fact I'm using several open source APIs that are stable but not as feature filled as those available in commercial APIs.

Hi Michael, You have to change the default user account to whatever it was when you registered the game. You would go to start menu, settings, control panel, and look for the users icon. In there you would add a new account with administrator privileges, logout, and then login to the new account. From there you can go back into users and remove the old user account and register your games. HTH On 4/3/2012 1:20 AM, michael barnes wrote: Hello, Thomas.

As it has been quite a while since we've written one of these news letters and there have been several questions as to the fate of Mysteries of the Ancients over the last few months we only thought it was fair to bring you up to speed as to what we are doing and what you can expect from us in the future. However, it must be said up front that Mysteries of the Ancients is only one of several products currently in development. While we are continuing work on Mysteries of the Ancients, which has recently been renamed for reasons explained later in this news letter, we are also moving forward with a few other projects we've wanted to develop for a long time, but have been delayed time after time by Mysteries of the Ancients. So without further introduction here is the news. Ark of Hope Over the last month we have been developing a new game called Tomb Hunter: The Ark of Hope. This game is very similar to Mysteries of the Ancients, but has an all new storyline, new levels, and of course several updates that did not make it into the final beta of Mysteries of the Ancients. In this revised version of the game world re noun archeologist, Dr. Angela Carter, travels to Greece in search of Pandora's Box. Legend has it that when Pandora opened the box she let out all the evil and suffering in the world and closed the box trapping hope inside. Now, Dr Angela Carter is in search of Pandora's Box and intends to open it. However, her quest will not be an easy one. She must explore 12 Erie underground tombs filled with deadly traps including: fire pits, sharp metal spikes, falling rocks, deep chasms, rolling boulders, pits filled with boiling lava, and more. She must fight or flee several unworldly creatures such as: sword wielding skeletons, undead zombie warriors, flying harpies, and mighty centaurs. Along the way she will pick up and collect gold coins, ancient reed torches, precious jewels, and pieces of a long lost scroll that will lead her to Pandora's Box. As I said earlier many of the game play elements will be similar to Mysteries of the Ancients, but there will be differences as well. We've been updating some sounds, music, as well as redesigning all 12 levels from scratch. In addition to those changes we've been adding more traps, expanding the levels, and have been adding some extra features as well. So stay tuned for news as this project develops. Open G3D For the last couple of months we've been working on a project we feel will greatly aid audio game developers called Open G3D. We've actually been working on the project for a couple of years, but were unable to move forward with the project do to technical details. What we wanted was a game engine that met a number of criteria that were difficult to meet, and it took quite a lot of time and research to come up with a workable solution. In short, we wanted an engine that was easy to develop, an engine that was easy to use, and would work on Mac, Linux, Windows, and perhaps other platforms as well. Needless to say meeting this criteria was difficult to do because there is a lot of technical considerations involved in cross-platform game development in addition to the fact we wanted to create a user friendly experience for everyone. For example, the Genesis Engine that we use to develop Mysteries of the Ancients, Raceway, etc is written in C++. While C++ is arguably one of the best languages for professional game development, is considered to be the industry standard, it was never intended to be a language for beginners and therefore isn't very easy to work with. We wanted to eliminate this issue by using an off the shelf language that has a history of being simple and straight forward while not sacrificing the power of a full blown programming language like C++.

My first thought about the new engine you are working on was the rapidly growing market of gaming for I devices. Think that will be feasible? --- Shepherds are the best beasts, but Labs are a close second. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, April 06, 2012 7:36 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] USA Games News Hi, Hmmm...Well, I guess you could say that. However, the purpose of the engine I am working on is to enable developers to design free and open source games for other platforms like Linux and Mac OS that unfortunately do not get much attention from game developers. I suppose the engine could be used for commercial games as well, but I don't claim that the open source engine I'm working on will be as good as BGT. There are limitations in cross-platform development that make it difficult to get a feature by feature comparison on all platforms involved. Especially, when we are dealing with a generic game programming API like Pygame. For example, the mixer that comes with Pygame, SDL Mixer, is capable of basic 2d stereo panning and controling the volume of sounds, but there isn't any kind of true 3d virtualization and you can't set the pitch. Both of these are serious limitations in my book and require a more professional sound mixer like FMOD or perhaps OpenAL. Which are preferable for a game engine like this. So although I'm excited to see what can be done with the new engine its sadly not quite on par with BGT given the fact I'm using several open source APIs that are stable but not as feature filled as those available in commercial APIs.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games News
Hi will, I think you have confused two different projects. The game that used to be MOTA, Ark of Hope, currently is not being written using the cross-platform engine. It is using the Windows game engine written in C++ with various Windows components like DirectX. That said, I've already explained the reason for the delays. Between the time MOTA beta 22 came out and the time I began working on Ark of Hope I had added a number of changes to the Windows game engine which means the MOTA beta 22 source code is no longer compatible with said engine. I've been revising the game, fixing technical issues, as well as redesigning the levels, adding new sound effects, music, etc. I know you and others are tired of waiting, but rushing me seriously won't help the situation.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games News
Hi Charles, Perhaps. I'm still not too sure of how Python apps will run on iOS devices like iPhones and iPads although Cara assures me its possible, and pointed me to a Python interpreter for iOS on the Apple store. I still have to see if there is a version of Pygame for iOS, but it seems as though it might be possible. I've also seen versions of Python floating around for Windows Mobile devices which is another possibility for game development. Python appears to be fairly flexable when it comes to supporting a wide range of hardware and operating systems without too many changes in source. So perhaps just perhaps once this engine is ready for prime time I'll be able to put out some very basic games like Jim Kitchen develops for non-Windows operating systems and various handheld devices.

Personally I feel that the rep given on a successful mission is on the high side. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Michael Taboada ai...@hotmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2012 6:44 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] swamp missions and death Hi, Just because some mainstream games have this method doesn't mean all games for the mainstream community or otherwise have to have it...

I completely disagree with any change that waters down the already weakened consequences of dying, especially when you stand to gain for five minutes of survival rep and experience that would take hours of looting to gain. Big risk, big reward. Too risky, don't go on missions. And by the way, I say this who am trying to learn some new styles of play and thus am dying quite frequently, and have certainly lost 20,000 rep worth of equipment at various times. I'd favor a lives system, where once your lives are gone you start over from zero. Perhaps gaining a level gives you a new life. I know this won't be adopted as too many people would shriek about it being unfair, never mind that it's a gaming standard in the mainstream world.
