Re: [Audyssey] Arc of hope ideas
Hi Thomas, On some of these I'm joking. But the idea that you open the box and it's empty or that the game is just over doesn't appeal to me. Opening the box filled with hope and hearing, Bob Hope singing Thanks for the Memory, would be really funny! Phil - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2013 12:35 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Arc of hope ideas Um...Phil, are you serious or joking? :D Just for everyone's info the Ark of Hope is simply Pandora's Box under a different name. The myth is that Zeus, king of the gods, gave Pandora a beautiful box or jar as a wedding gift,but it was a trick. He told her not to open it up, and after some time she opens it letting all the evils into the world. Legend has it that Pandora closed the box or jar trapping the hope of mankind inside, and whoever opens Pandora's Box or Pandora's Jar will once again restore hope to the world. That's the basic legend I'm basing the game on. For the game I'm going with the more contemporary Pandora's Box story rather than Pandora's Jar simply because more people are familiar with the story of Pandora's Box rather than the original story about the jar. Plus another word for a wooden box is an ark, (a r k,) which kind of ties the game into Raiders of the Lost Ark which is one of the inspirations for this particular game. :D As to opening the ark I can think of two instances where two female characters have done it just for kicks. In Tomb Raider II: Cradle of Life Lara Croft does just that. She opens it up to discover Pandora's Box is empty.. There is also a Xena episode where she too opens Pandora's Box and finds it empty as well. Cheers!

You have torches lit and when you open the arc you see the spirits and they burn you to death. 3. You find a special item that you use to open the arc with that neutralizes the spirits. 4. You blow the arc up and don't die but are cursed to be trapped in the place forever. 5. You use one of the scrolls to cast a protective shield around you when you open the arc. 6. You drink a potion that changes you into one of the arc's guards and when you open the arc it does not kill you. 7. When you open the arc the game says continued in Arc of Hope part two. 8. When you open the arc you finally hear the voice of Thomas Ward. 9. Inside the arc is a password to the USA Racing game. 10. Inside the arc you discover a staircase and you end up back on level one with 20,000 torches and potions and rounds of ammo. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions
Hi Tom. Your assessment of pirate motivations seems reasonable, however again, I have equally run into people who pirate a game purely to try it. I remember for instance a couple of individuals (who shall remain nameless), saying as much on audiogames.net, that when a demo was in their opinion too short or inadequate, they played a pirated copy of the game as a method of trying more of it, then later bought it if they desired as much, heck, I could see myself playing a pirated game in similar circumstances for that reason, sinse there have been several titles in the past which I would've wanted to play first, precisely because! I don't exactly have massive amounts of cash and wish to be certain I'd enjoy a game first before committing. As to reviews, well for myself those only work if I trust the reviewer, and usually those on the apple ap store I do not simply because I am not sure of the compitancy of their judgement or whether they assess things similar to me. This is why I was willing to buy lost cities and king of dragon pass without! demos, since they were recommended by people I trusted such as Zackery clien, but am leary of buying E bop it. After all, a game is a far more complex and subjective object to assess than a heater, since a heater is only required to provide heat, be easily controllable and not break down frequently, where as a game's purpose is far more complex and far more tied to what a given individual would find amusing or entertaining or challenging or whatever.

I actually never found it of any use until I saw someone tanking in it so I decided to give it a try. I never bothered with it before because you can't take it off and identify it, but it turned out to be pretty awesome so I'm glad I got it in the long run. Bone shield and even bone blade can be useful too, if for nothing more than the breath save, and especially once you get soul bind, or whatever it's called. I have a full necroclev set for my warrior, and when fully enchanted I can get my tank set well past 470 AC. I need to work on that a little since I saw someone with a 594 ac set a couple days ago.

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions
Hi Tom. another fact to considder, is that often the experience of playing a game is very different to that of hearing about it. A perfect example hear is rail racer. I do not myself enjoy racing games, they are not something that tends to interest me in the least. Thus I wasn't absolutely enthusiastic about rail racer. nor did the podcast Che made about the game precisely enthrall me either because the concept of riding round a track on a machine bolted to it on a rail where you couldn't actually hit the sides or crash struck me as even less interesting than usual racing games. However because! there was a demo available, and because I know myself that the experience of playing a game can be vastly different from hearing about it I tried the thing and found my previous assumptions to be wrong. in the case of rail racer in fact, I'd argue that the reason the game works is in it's mechanics and fine tuning and the need to develope the necessary judgement and coordination to play properly, things which are not clear from a review or a podcast, and only become clear when you try the game for yourself. This is especially true of games hwich might be extremely well designed, but in genres or settings that you would not normally play. You mention your own experience with sarah as an example, but even if Kelly or someone similar made a podcast would you have been likely to buy the game without a demo? I know for a fact I myself would not have bought railracer without that demo, and would (I'm sorry to say), be unlikely to considder buying any other racing title unless a demo was available since it is a subject and genre of games that I just do not generally find interests me. So if you for instance produced race way and had no demo, I would probably not buy a copy myself however good the game might be and quite likely even if someone made a podcast about it. In that case however I probably would be more likely to play a pirated copy just to see what the game was like, far more likely than if a demo was available in fact. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions
One last point to throw out there on the demos topic. While there's been a bit of traffic on this list about this topic, it has come from only two or three users who feel pretty strongly about the topic. It reminds me a lot of 2007, when we announced that we would no longer be offering CD copies for purchases of our titles. We got a lot of email from a small group of people saying that we would lose all kinds of sales for this, that, or the other reason, if we didn't keep shipping out discs. In reality, it made absolutely no measurable difference to anyone, and was a knee jerk reaction to change. For nearly a decade and a half, there hasn't been anything significantly disruptive about the way in which audio games are offered. Generally speaking, and yes of course there are exceptions, developers have offered a demo that could be played and then unlocked for around $30-$40. We are experimenting with a different model now, and there is bound to be those who are uncomfortable with change. I'm not saying this is the case, necessarily, but just as an interesting hypothetical…if the choice, to all of you, the gamers, was between having great games that cost $5-$15 without a demo, or games with demos that cost $30-$40, which would you prefer? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions
Of course, I would go for the $5, but that may be due, in part, to the fact that I know the quality of your games. Someone who does not know this fact may want a demo from an untried company.

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions
Hi, just my two cents on the demo topic here. If there was no demo for the $5 game and I only get text descriptions before buying it, I certainly would prefer the $30 game with the demo. Yes, it costs more. But when I can try it before I can be sure that it's a game I really wanted. If I spend $5 on a game I only read about before buying, it's possible that I realize that I really don't like it when I try it out after buying. With the $30 game I at least know that my money is well spent. It may be only $5 I lost on a game I didn't like, but it's still money and it adds up if this happens to me a few times. I experienced this kind of thing quite a few times already with Iphone apps which had no lite version. I purchased the app and noticed afterwards that it's not accessible with voiceover or that it was not what I hoped for in the description. So now I don't do that kind of thing anymore. And most apps don't even cost $5, but it still adds up after a while.

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions
I'd personally rather pay the $30 for a product I get to actually try before I buy. I know that the game I've tried from you in the past have been good, but generally speaking I am a littlee weary of a game which does not offer a demo. I've had similar experiences on my iPhone to Sarah in purchasing apps that, although they are cheep, add up over time.

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions
I agree with what all of you are saying. I would much rather know what I'm getting before I buy it. Even if a game sounds great from the description, I may not enjoy the game at all, and would have regretted buying it. As an example, I thought that Operation Blacksquare would be a game I would really get into. The concept of it sounded awesome. After trying it, I became very frustrated, and gave up on it eventually. It was much more difficult than I expected it to be. Now, granted, this is a free title, but let's suppose that it had been a paid game, and there was no demo. Even if I only spent 5 or 10 dollars on it, I still would have been pretty mad that I would have wasted even that small amount of money.

[Audyssey] corruption of champions
Hi everyone! I've played this game a while ago and gave up, started again yesterday and if we count these 2 days i've played more than 12 hours so far, i'm on level 11. this is a text based single player storytelling/rpg/sex game... I think that bladestorm360 found it at first and mentioned it in the ag forum. this game is in the same style of the if game flexible survival. If you've played the hellmoo and found it disgusting, stop reading and delete all e-mails with this subject right now. Hellmoo is a game for kids compared to this one. I can't say more because it would be inapropriate here, but if you like rpg's and adult games go check this one out. it's playable with nvda. here's the site: http://fenoxo.com/play/ this guy updates the game frequently so i recommend checking the site at least once per week to download the latest build. you will need flash player in order for the .suf file to work(if windows asks what program you want to use to open the file just use internet explorer or your preferred browser). hope you all enjoy the game and don't get too addicted like i did, i'll stop for a few days though. lol! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Darren's podcasts.
Hi darren. If you use the ss wizard you can freely just cut and paste files much as you would in windows explorer and create a folder, however you can also just copy links straight out of it and write them up as a list by hitting ctrl l, and then pass the list around. I'd be happy with either method myself since I'd be interested to hear your podcasts and if they review games to put links to them on audiogames.net game pages. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions
I've never pirated, and I won't. As you say, it's stealing, which is not right. But especially for the developers of games for the blind, stealing hurts them worse due to the relatively small income they get from customers. --- 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: Thursday, January 17, 2013 11:47 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions Hi Dark, There is no denying that the ability to play a demo is better than just hearing about a game via written game reviews and/or a podcast. I take your point about Railracer as I wouldn't have been interested in that game myself had I just listened to Che's podcast on the subject. However, when I played the beta I did find I liked the game as you did. Although, I think the real issue here is a question of ethics as much as proper marketing of a product. That is to say you freely admit you would have no whims about pirating a game if there isn't a demo available. Steeling a game is still steeling regardless of if the purpose is to tryout the product in the expectation of buying it. That's a bit like walking into Wal-Mart steeling a few movies off the shelf, take them home, watch them, and return to the store to pay up if you liked them. I think most people would say that action is unethical. However, as I've pirated software in the past just to try it out myself I'm not the right person to talk about ethics as it is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. :D All the same you have a point. Something like USA Raceway is based on American Nascar racing. That is to say it is based on an American sport, and the rules are different in Nascar than Formula 1 which Europeans are familiar with. Without a demo I'd be hard pressed to write a review or create a podcast that could convince people that my game is a better racing game than Topspeed. It would be easier to let them just play it and decide for themselves. Something else is an audio review or podcast can't really give a new gamer the experience of new concepts and ideas. Take my 3d game engine. I can write FPS games where you go forward, backwards, left, right, up, or down in a true 3d environment. I can write about it until my fingers are sore or talk about it until I'm blue in the face but can not pass on what that feels like nearly as well as letting someone play it for themselves. Cheers! On 1/17/13, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Tom. another fact to considder, is that often the experience of playing a game is very different to that of hearing about it. A perfect example hear is rail racer. I do not myself enjoy racing games, they are not something that tends to interest me in the least. Thus I wasn't absolutely enthusiastic about rail racer. nor did the podcast Che made about the game precisely enthrall me either because the concept of riding round a track on a machine bolted to it on a rail where you couldn't actually hit the sides or crash struck me as even less interesting than usual racing games. However because! there was a demo available, and because I know myself that the experience of playing a game can be vastly different from hearing about it I tried the thing and found my previous assumptions to be wrong. in the case of rail racer in fact, I'd argue that the reason the game works is in it's mechanics and fine tuning and the need to develope the necessary judgement and coordination to play properly, things which are not clear from a review or a podcast, and only become clear when you try the game for yourself. This is especially true of games hwich might be extremely well designed, but in genres or settings that you would not normally play. You mention your own experience with sarah as an example, but even if Kelly or someone similar made a podcast would you have been likely to buy the game without a demo? I know for a fact I myself would not have bought railracer without that demo, and would (I'm sorry to say), be unlikely to considder buying any other racing title unless a demo was available since it is a subject and genre of games that I just do not generally find interests me. So if you for instance produced race way and had no demo, I would probably not buy a copy myself however good the game might be and quite likely even if someone made a podcast about it. In that case however I probably would be more likely to play a pirated copy just to see what the game was like, far more likely than if a demo was available in fact. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions
Hi Tom. I haven't actually! at this point pirated any games to try them, i merely pointed out that this is a motivation which I've observed some people have, and one thing I might considder myself if occasion arose, for all that I'd always want to support developers of accessible games as much as possible. Another way to considder things might be as borrowing, since after all back in the days before I tried many downloadable games, it was quite common for my friends and I to swap games around to see what they were like even if we didn't necessarily buy a copy. Of course, sometimes we'd borrow a game from a friend, really like it and want! to buy a copy (such was the case with weaponlord for instance), but that was by no means certain. On the experience point, One thing I have noticed is that the more complex the game in it's controls, interface and actions, the more difficult it is to understand until you have played it. A basic sterrio targit style game is relatively easy to know what is going on from listening to a demonstration, since after all all you need to master in the game are quick reactions. But something which is designed more completely as a realistic game where the user needs to develope skilsl in order to play, games like swamp, zero site, Lone wolf and of course rail racer are quite another matter. It was more this aspect I was thinking of with raceway. Frankly I don't myself know (or indeed have that much interest in), the rules of either formula one or! nascar racing because as I said racing just isn't something that interests me. if I bought a racing title, would depend entirely on whether I found the games mechanics and mode of play actually to my liking, which is something I could not determine other than by trying it myself. the same might be said for sports titles like Jim kitchin's golf or baseball. I have no actual interest in the activities of playing golf or baseball, and was therefore primarily interested in the games from the perspective of their challenge to the player, which is something I'd only understand by trying them.

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions
Hi Tom. that is the case about third party reviews, but equally I've noticed that reviews can vary a lot in quality. Generally speaking, the main reasons people tend to write reviews are if they absolutely love, or absolutely hate something, thus a large quantity of reviews tend to be either universally negative or universally positive, if something is okay people are far less likely to review it. this also means that people tend to either ultra praise good aspects or harp on about bad aspects quite extensively, which is again why i personally tend to take most reviews with a good pinch of salt, and with a review I would probably only be likely to get something if I really trusted the reviewer, and indeed if it was something in a catagory of games I already knew I liked. Thus, king of dragon pass is an rpg stratogy game, but since I very much like that sort of game, I was more inclined to buy it just! on reviews. The same may not be true for other game types, since if someone gave a massive praising review to a sports, racing or arcade game, they may enjoy that genre of game more than I do and are thus far more likely to praise certain aspects, or dam others that wouldn't bother me.
