[Audyssey] The blind swordsman, an audiogame with interesting mechanics
Hi. This is to anyone who hasn't seen this one over at audiogames.net It's an action game where you play a warrior who has become blind and is seaking a warlock to help him get his site back. You have a sword and shield, but the game is very much anime enspired with armies of attacking warriors, dagger wielding psychotic women, and archers who's arrows you can cut out of the air (yes it's that awsome). The music, sounds and story are great, however what really impresses me about this one is the gameplay. it is extremely simple, move left and right, up arrow to attack, down arrow to parry, and should by rights be just another sterrio target boppit affair. I am however extremely impressed by the way the game works mechanically. You can't just automaticaly block every attack and then respond with a hit, there are opponents you need to attack first, some others you need to attack slightly before they do etc. Actually the mechanics are far closer o those of a beatemup in terms of timing and response even though the enemies only have one attack each and you have only one block and one attack to play with. I'd definitely advise developers interested in creating more subtle audiogames to have a look at this one, sinse it takes that very simple idea we've all seen time after time, but manages to make it mechanically much more interesting and adds just those elements of judgement which I've been wittering on about, indeed I am quite surprised it was possible in such a basically simple game. The story and sounds are also great too (the enemies are just so evil). Either way I'll stop wittering and say where to get it. The game was originally designed to run on a game play website in flash, but getting that one to work was a bit of a pest so the author has provided a direct download: http://www.evildogserver.com/theblindswordsman/theblindswordsmanPC.zip I'll be adding this one to the database when the developer sends me more information.

Hi, I am very impressed with the sounds and voice-acting in this game, however I am unable to use my arrows to face my attackers. I heard him on my left, so hit left arrow to face him, but my character didn't move, so got killed pretty quickly. I'm on a windows 7 dell laptop with windows 64 bit. I also found that the only way of shutting the game down, was by keeping jaws running and closing the game by hitting alt then close. I'm also finding pressing backspace doesn't move me back in menus too. As for timed parries Dark, I'm hopeless at timing, probably because i spend too long planning my next move lol.

I'm guessing here, because I haven't checked the game out yet, but it sounds like it's a flash game.

This is to anyone who hasn't seen this one over at audiogames.net It's an action game where you play a warrior who has become blind and is seaking a warlock to help him get his site back. You have a sword and shield, but the game is very much anime enspired with armies of attacking warriors, dagger wielding psychotic women, and archers who's arrows you can cut out of the air (yes it's that awsome). The music, sounds and story are great, however what really impresses me about this one is the gameplay. it is extremely simple, move left and right, up arrow to attack, down arrow to parry, and should by rights be just another sterrio target boppit affair. I am however extremely impressed by the way the game works mechanically. You can't just automaticaly block every attack and then respond with a hit, there are opponents you need to attack first, some others you need to attack slightly before they do etc. Actually the mechanics are far closer o those of a beatemup in terms of timing and response even though the enemies only have one attack each and you have only one block and one attack to play with. I'd definitely advise developers interested in creating more subtle audiogames to have a look at this one, sinse it takes that very simple idea we've all seen time after time, but manages to make it mechanically much more interesting and adds just those elements of judgement which I've been wittering on about, indeed I am quite surprised it was possible in such a basically simple game. The story and sounds are also great too (the enemies are just so evil). Either way I'll stop wittering and say where to get it. The game was originally designed to run on a game play website in flash, but getting that one to work was a bit of a pest so the author has provided a direct download: http://www.evildogserver.com/theblindswordsman/theblindswordsmanPC.zip I'll be adding this one to the database when the developer sends me more information.

Re: [Audyssey] Shades of Doom Beta version 20015
With the same voice as my SAPI speech, the Windows keystrokes such as control downarrow, and control left or right arrow are spoken as they usually are. I don't notice any jerkiness in ScanSoft Tom, though. I changed JAWS settings in a configuration that is named SOD.jcf and those Windows keystrokes are no longer spoken. --- Be positive!

I love being able to play with my screen reader or Sapi, but the output to native screen readers could probably use some refinement. At the moment, the speech is very jerky, presumably because David is sending the exact same instructions to the various screen reader APIs that he is to trigger the recordings that make up the built in voice, so you'll get something like 1, hundred out of NVDA instead of a more natural sounding and productive 100.

What are the real differences between this and the 1.2 version? -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Phil Vlasak Sent: 11 July 2014 14:15 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] Shades of Doom Beta version 20015 Shades of Doom Beta version 20015: From David Greenwood on 7 July: Hi all, Fixed many of the problems mentioned such as the toilet that doesn't give up its ammo, or even give up its blob, the problem with the crate and several other things. They were all related. A few people asked to have the monster sounds in the sound help, but this does not seem to be necessary since all you need to do is press Control-M when you encounter a monster and its name is given. From 8 July: What would people think if instead of having a built-in voice, we use your choice of MS Sapi or your screen reader. In this way I can be sure of having a consistent, easily understood voice, since you have selected it yourself. Also, I can expand Shades of Doom and not worry about matching voice tamber, pitch, and volume. Voice actors have been suggested, but sometimes you lose track of them, or they might not be interested in continuing when you make changes at a later date. There is another reason. I need the speech to be flexible. For example, to be able to say someone's name, and to eventually translate all the speech to other languages. There is another issue. What about keyinterrupt? When Jaws, and maybe other screen readers are speaking, you press any key and it interrupts the current speech. You can miss important information that way, and you may not even know that you do. This does not happen with MS Sapi. Sod version 2.0.15 is ready for download. Lots of suggestions were included, and it can be played using the built-in voice, your screen reader, or MS Sapi. http://www.GMAGames.com/sod20015.exe As with all betas, backup any SOD data you do not want to lose. For example, the folder: c:\users\your name\documents\Shades of Doom 2.0 should be backed up. This name varies depending on the version of Windows. Other possibilities could be: c:\users\your name\my documents\Shades of Doom 2.0 or c:\documents and settings\your name\my documents\Shades of Doom 2.0 In the program folder there is a file called English.txt. For those who might be interested in translating the speech text to another language, you may be interested in this file. Of course you will need to set Speech in the options menu to MS Sapi or screen reader to take advantage of any changes. From Phil: To turn on your SAPI or Screen Reader voice, Play the game and after David says hit f1 for help, do that. Note the default built in voice will be used until you change it. After hitting f1 use up arro to get to options Then right arrow to open them, then up arrow two times to get to speech setting. To change it use the space
