Re: [Audyssey] Throwaway Tech was Previous Topic ofInteractiveFiction
Hi all. For those who were wondering, react OS is meant as a drop-in free and open source replacement of windows, but it is currently still in alpha. It can run programs compiled for windows. Unfortunately no accessibility support have been included yet. https://www.reactos.org/ On 10/28/14, shaun everiss sm.ever...@gmail.com wrote: On that point I agree. Eventually a change will happen for me but its probably not as fast, heck I hope it happens soon because if that does happen it means I will get more employment or something that will warrent this.

At 04:53 a.m. 29/10/2014, you wrote: Hi Shaun, I think you have missed my point. The word need isn't the operative word here. Its a more a matter of change is inevitable weather you want to or not. What you want or what you need is often times as changing as the technology itself. For example, right now all you want or need is a decent Windows 7 machine, with say 8 GB of RAM, and a quad core processor. Nothing wrong with that given your current circumstances. However, I foresee a day down the road where that computer dies, perhaps the capacitors on the motherboard bite the dust, and then you need to begin thinking about a replacement. Is it worth your money to try and get the old machine fixed or simply replace the hardware and software in one go? My point being your needs will change, and while you don't have a need right now I think as time goes on your needs will change and other options may seem like good options at that time. I think basing your plans of the future, on upgrading or not upgrading, based exclusively on current circumstances is very short sighted. If there is one constant in life is everything is always changing and the best person to meet that change is someone who is willing to let go of the past and move on. Cheers!

While there is a lot of new tech coming out, there is no need for me to actually move with the times. While I do go on about my tech work, most of it is fixing systems at home, testing software and a few other things. 90% of my work is done online or at least on site. I don't usually need any complex reports to do so I don't even have an updated or legal coppy of office which is not 10 years old. As a result of this and the fact most stuff is via email or sms I don't even have a phone that needs to be even half as updated as I do. in fact if things didn't get insecure I could continue with win98 or even dos quite happily. well maybe not win 98 or dos but sertainly win2000 or xp. For the work I do offsite and its not much, i use the device thats there. My upgrades are usually performance, security to the minimal specs or because its required. Which was why I didn't upgrade jaws, though if I went to work jaws is what is expected for business so I'd have to keep that updated. yunger people are using braille dvices and other things, but with what I do right now, I really don't need that much. Ofcause as I build myself up here and online as a self employed contracter for sound, testing and a little bit of lite hacking and other tests that may become something I can afford/ need, however I doubt I will ever upgrade unnecessarily. Even if I have the cash which I don't. I am also in my 30s, if I had the cash who knows. The only thing I really want is a quad core with maybe 8-16gb ram, win 7 x64 and the ability to have hardware vertualisation so I could run vertual machines, heck maybe a linux or apple machine to but to be honest I only upgrade what I need. A friend just gave me their c005 nokia, and while its a bit stupid to get talks for that now eventually I may end up doing just that. I have not been as exposed to the fullness of the newer stuf as others have or have needed to move as fast as most have had to. in fact if security was not a major concern I could have stayed in the mud and not given a stiff such is the nature of my current project based work. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] compairison between latest and old audio games.
Hi tom. As to shades of doom, I do agree with you that the game is something of a disappointment, sinse I was personally expecting something as much in advance of shades version 1 as Toc 2.0 is of Toc version one. At the least new levels and enemies, perhaps mouse control, perhaps a map creator, not essentially the same game with changed sounds. I don't however think you can draw any conclusions from Shades about the over all state of audiogames. Shades is just one game after all, and what's more a game from a developer who has in the past done a lot to advance what can be done in audio. With respect to park boss and pizza delivery, my point wassort of the same as with Paladin of the skies and some of the Ticonblu titles. it's not always whether an audio game is an entirely new concept such as Swamp or Entombed, so much as whether an audiogame tries something that has not been done before. Take Judgement day. yes, it's a fairly standard arcade space invaders clone, but at the time it was interesting for it's uses of achievements, badges, extra cut scenes etc. By the same tocan, Sound Rts didn't include anything that different in audio terms. Sound scanning, tabbing between locations, coordinates, tracking messages in real time, indeed I remember back in around 2006 proposing something similar could be done just based on playing Galaxy Ranger from Vipgameszone. It's however the fact that Sound rts put all these together, and added map creation and online play that is the interesting point. As I said, by the same tocan I support someone like Ticonblu, not because what they do is always revolutionary, but because they're trying new things out, which is always what we should incourage, indeed this is probably why shades of doom version 2 now seems so lacking, sinse it doesn't give anything new, either in terms of mechanics, design or systems, or more basically just in terms of new content to explore.

Re: [Audyssey] Using a TV as a monitor
Hi Eleanor. Sorry I forgot about 7-128, that was a bit bad. On the tv front, sinse I also use my computer to watch dvds and play graphical games, I've got it hooked up to a 42 inch plasma, which also has a snes and Gamecube plugged into it. Up until i cancelled my license in 2009, I could also watch tv too, so its eminantly possible to plug a pc into a tv just as easily as into a monitor and use it for graphical games, indeed from the perspective of access it's a better idea sinse tvs come in much larger sizes and last I checked also could produce clearer pictures as well, though I admit I've not been in the market looking for monitors recently sinse I've been happy with the setup I've had.

Re: [Audyssey] Pizza Delivery
Hi Charles, It is all a matter of perspective. While I am not personally a big fan of cheat codes myself, I think you are looking at this from a very biased position. Cheat codes do not detract from the game for everyone, and some find cheat codes extremely fun for various reasons. For one thing some people for a number of reasons aren't looking for a serious challenge. Some just like going around the game blowing things up, killing everything in the game indiscriminately, and basically enjoying near godlike abilities. Cheat codes is a form of god moding allowing the player to do whatever whenever he or she likes. It isn't challenging, but that isn't what the gamer is after. The difference with gamers like us is that we play the game for a challenge. Like being challenged by the difficulty of the quest, puzzle solving, or combat, but those who use cheat codes are less interested in any challenges and more interested in having a killfest. They like being to indiscriminately kill everything and anything, blow everything up they can, and not take damage while doing it. It is a completely different mindset. In a game like Pizza Delivery obviously insane violence isn't the motive here. It is more the desire to be able to get the fastest deliveries without having to work up to it, and basically get all the upgrades from the start. For some cheating in of itself is where all the fun is like speeding 65 MPH in a 35 MPH speed zone just because they can. Cheers! On 10/29/14, Charles Rivard wee1s...@fidnet.com wrote: So do I. Cheat codes are for either beta testing, which is OK, or for cheating, which, in my opinion, means that you have to give up to beat the game. If you have to cheat, you lost. And it also takes away the challenge of the game, so you threw your money away if you bought the game. Even when playing a free game, cheating detracts from game play. --- Be positive!

Re: [Audyssey] compairison between latest and old audio games.
Hi Jim, I suppose the turn based movement is easier for people, but that in my opinion is what makes it less appealing to me. I'd have preferred the challenge of trying to drive around town like Mach 1 rather than having the game stop at every corner and requesting direction and speed after every stop. That gets to be a bit annoying after a while. What might make the game better is asking how many blocks you want to travel so you instruct the delivery guy to go straight ahead, for five blocks, at 35 MPH, and then that would save the player five stops. As you'd be directing him to go further each turn. Cheers!

Unless you played our last game Papa Sangre II, which was Metacritic's iOS game of the year 2013 (and had Sean Bean doing voice over). We see it as the quicker, dirtier successor to Papa Sangre II. We've kept the horror and immersion, but chucked out almost everything else in favour of SPEED AND FURY so you can just pick up and play. You are the Blind Warrior, trapped in Dr Bastard's arenas, forced to fight off wave after wave of his zombies. As you progress you'll need to master the Pistol, the Sawn-off Shotgun, the Hunting Rifle, the Machine Gun, the Bazooka, the Grenade Launcher and the Sonic Cannon, among others. If the zombies get too close you'll have to resort to a range of melee weapons . a Wok, a Banjo, some Golf Clubs, a Cattle Prod and a Claymore. Reassuring? It will be quite unlike any zombie game you've played before. The zombies and playing environment are all rendered in high fidelity binaural sound. There are no graphics to represent them. You can only hear them, which is why gameplay is so immersive. Because the sound is binaural (3D audio), using only ordinary headphones you actually hear the zombies in the world all around you, and you are situated right in the middle of the game. It's like AR* for the EAR. Oculus thrift. This game has no In App Purchase - everything you need to complete the game, is available within the game itself. How long will you survive? That is up to you and your aural shooting skills. Did we mention that the evil Dr Bastard will do anything in his power to entertain its crowd, even if it means throwing you to the mercy of lurching zombies? We are a few days away from release now.. your patience will be reward Blind Warrior. Here is a List of the Zombies in the game: Classic Zombie The show is called 'Dr. Bastard's Zombie Arena', so he has to deliver some classic zombies. That means the slow, feet-shuffling kind. They can take a couple of bullets more than a Reject, but are easily beaten if they come alone. Berserk A formidable Zombie you don't want to mess with. The Berserk is a blind zombie who looks for his prey by sniffing around. If you don't shoot him, he will go away in a few seconds. A single bullet that hits him will cause him to go into a frenzy and charge towards you very fast, and be warned: he can take a lot of bullets! Chainsaw The crowd's favourite. This crazy undead is smart enough not only to wield a chainsaw, but also to run at you moving sideways. You want to keep your ears on him, ready to notice which direction he's turning, to make sure your bullets keep hitting him! Clown Dr. Bastard likes to dress his craziest zombies as clowns. He likes to give them rusty knives, too. The Clown's main mission is to annoy the Blind Warrior running in circles around you, but don't let that fool you. Clowns slowly close in and will eventually attack if left alive for too long! Colossus Dr. Bastard's masterpiece, a gigantic zombie so big its tiny brain can only handle two motor skills: walking towards the closest human and smashing the closest human with a massive club it carries. The Colossus is the toughest zombie you'll ever meet. If you don't

Re: [Audyssey] compairison between latest and old audio games.
Well not much can change with audio unlike graphics there is a limit on how many sounds you can really have. Even with realistic 3d audio there is its own issues and limits. Even with better multiplayer support and the like, we are limited more than those with graphics. At 11:23 a.m. 30/10/2014, you wrote: Hi Dark, I know Shades of Doom is not cutting edge. However, keep in mind Ishan brought it up and was I believe trying to show how far audio games like Shades of Doom have advanced and my point was to show him as far as games like Shades of Doom are concerned nothing has changed very much compared to other games like Entombed or Swamp. I think my meaning got a little lost in the discussion there and you have inferred a different meaning than was intended. As far as over all advancement in audio games I agree with your points as they are valid. Time of Conflict 2.0 is in deed a very revolutionary game, and takes audio gaming to new levels in terms of the strategy genre. It is most definitely a far cry more advanced than anything that was available ten to fifteen years ago. As far as something like Park Boss goes its definitely something new for the audio games community, but to me it is more unique than revolutionary. I don't want to say anything bad about it, but while I thought the game was okay but after playing it a while it was a bit too simplistic for my liking. There were many aspects where I thought the game could stand a few improvements. However, it is after all only a first release so I don't want to be too overly critical of it. As for Pizza Delivery its a decent game in concept, but its not one of my favorites. It reminds me more of a board game than any thing else with telling your driver to go forward, left, right, and the speed which is a lot like moving a game piece on a board than driving a scooter around town delivering pizzas. I'd personally prefer to hold down an arrow key and sort of drive around town than the select direction and speed from a menu. I guess what I'm saying while I think the game is okay it feels too much like the board games we have always had with a different story, sounds, and so on. As far as Ticonblu goes I haven't tried any of their games yet. I haven't had much cash lately to experiment with so haven't had money to try any of their titles. So obviously that is why I wouldn't necessarily put them in my comparison of new and old games. Same goes with the iOS market. I don't own an iPhone so haven't tried any of the games available for it. So can't comment as to how good or unique the games are since I have no experience with them. Cheers!

While you might be correct on shades of doom, Shades of doom is hardly the cutting edge of audio games these days. Swamp features as you said major changes in fps technology, and some of these are seen in other titles like road to rage. While Adventure at C: didn't do anything new in mechanics terms, level creation and rpg style stats are certainly a step forward for side scrollers. Paladin of the skies is the first attempt at a full scale console rpg. While I still feel it's a work in progress, the progress definitely is being made. In resource management and stratogy we have seen some major changes, Time of conflict (who's 2.0 version was a distinct upgrade), Lunimals, Castaways, traders of known space and most recently Park boss and possibly Pizza delivery too. Look at Ticonblu. Multiplatform titles pumped out like nobody's business, trying different experimental ways with audio, maze game in inquisitor's heartbeat, object location in noire, analogue steering with stats in audiospeed. Some of these experiments have been less successful than others, but I do very much admire the Ticonblu crew for their willingness to try, indeed I shal be recommending to 7-128 that they get a spot on the top 25 audio game devs list for next year. Then there is the hole Ios market which has even reinvigorated many basic game types such as the usual arcade title by including analogue elements, for example Nebula and sixth sense, not to mention atmospheric adventures, interactive audio dramas and the like. Another highly interesting development I've noticed is that more sighted developers are getting involved with audiogames now, not just for access reasons, but for actual possibilities of audio as a representative medium for game development.

Tom, tacticalbattle is just an engine. The sample maps are really crappy demos, they are nnothing special. Some of the user maps like starship battles, one shot zombie house, and toom hunter as well as the starwars maps are good there is even one based on world war 2. tactical battle is basically an engine, nothing more. You have just about everything done for this, angry birds, fantacy, horror and scifi. Tactical battle is really good now but you will need all the maps and stuff to really enjoy it.

Re: [Audyssey] compairison between latest and old audio games.
Hi Shaun, That's where we disagree. While audio is somewhat limited in what it can do I think there is quite a lot more that could be done in audio than is currently being done for various reasons. Most of them I suspect simply come down to the lack of skills by the developers currently developing games, or a lack of time to put into making a more complex audio environment. For example, a lot more can be done with DSP effects to make a much more dramatic environment. If one is approaching a wall one can increase the amount of echo on the footsteps to make it obvious that there is a wall there without running into it first. Another thing is using low high pass filters to muffle sounds in other rooms or behind walls, doors, etc. There are plenty of things like that which could add to and enhance the audio environment, but I haven't seen much work in that area. Another thing is simply adding more dimensions of movement to the game play. I think all would agree a 2d side-scroller like Mysteries of the Ancients offers more advantages than a more 1d side-scroller like Super Liam because there are ropes to climb up/down, staircases to navigate, things to jump over, and there is a lot more that can be done with a full 2d environment than say a 1d environment. Likewise a 3d environment has more opportunities than 1d or 2d. My point being while audio will always be somewhat limited I think there are areas that developers can work on to improve it and develop more games on par with what mainstream gamers play. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] compairison between latest and old audio games.
Hi Ishan, On the contrary I think side-scrollers are an area where audio games have had a lot of improvement over the last ten to fifteen years. If we consider Super Liam as the first accessible side-scroller while a decent game for its time it lacked several things later side-scrollers had. It was basically a 1d game where you walked left and right, shooting enemies out of your way, and occasional jumped over something when necessary. However, for the most part wasn't all that advanced. In 2004/2005 James North released the first real 2d side-scroller, Montezuma's Revenge, where the player could climb up and down ropes, use ladders, jump over traps and enemies, and it offered an experience not available by games like Tarzan Junior and Super Liam that were fairly early side-scrollers. A few years ago Blast Bay released Q9 which was intended to be a simple game. It is for the most part 1d like Super Liam, but it has unlockable content which was a feature we hadn't seen before in a lot of earlier accessible side-scrollers. Perhaps the side-scroller that impressed me most was Blast Bay's demo of Perilous Hearts. Not only did it have 2d elements such as climbing vines and jumping from treetop to treetop, but the enemy A.I. in the game was totally different from anything ever done before in audio. You'd have monkeys beating the stuff out of each other, bores attacking other enemies, and all and all it made a totally different type of game play with no clear idea of who or what was an enemy since they were usually fighting each other as much as going after the player character. So saying there hasn't been any change in side-scrollers isn't really true when you stop and consider the changes in that particular style and genre the last decade or so.

I wish I could buy perilous hearts. On 10/30/2014 2:30 PM, Thomas Ward wrote: Hi Ishan, On the contrary I think side-scrollers are an area where audio games have had a lot of improvement over the last ten to fifteen years. If we consider Super Liam as the first accessible side-scroller while a decent game for its time it lacked several things later side-scrollers had. It was basically a 1d game where you walked left and right, shooting enemies out of your way, and occasional jumped over something when necessary. However, for the most part wasn't all that advanced. In 2004/2005 James North released the first real 2d side-scroller, Montezuma's Revenge, where the player could climb up and down ropes, use ladders, jump over traps and enemies, and it offered an experience not available by games like Tarzan Junior and Super Liam that were fairly early side-scrollers. A few years ago Blast Bay released Q9 which was intended to be a simple game. It is for the most part 1d like Super Liam, but it has unlockable content which was a feature we hadn't seen before in a lot of earlier accessible side-scrollers. Perhaps the side-scroller that impressed me most was Blast Bay's demo of Perilous Hearts. Not only did it have 2d elements such as climbing vines and jumping from treetop to treetop, but the enemy A.I. in the game was totally different from anything ever done before in audio. You'd have monkeys beating the stuff out of each other, bores attacking other enemies, and all and all it made a totally different type of game play with no clear idea of who or what was an enemy since they were usually fighting each other as much as going after the player character. So saying there hasn't been any change in side-scrollers isn't really true when you stop and consider the changes in that particular style and genre the last decade or so.

Hi Steven, As I attempted to explain to Dark in a prior message I didn't really express my opinion clear enough in the message you are referring to. I was a bit tired and not thinking clear when writing it so didn't make my points as clear as I had intended. Ishan specifically had mentioned Shades of Doom, mentioning how much it had changed over the years, so my aim or goal with that message was to explain to Ishan Shades of Doom itself had not evolved that much in comparison to other games like Entombed. I hadn't intended to say or imply all audio games had not involved. On the contrary I know several games have such as SoundRTS which is one of my favorite audio games. Time of Conflict is another game I absolutely love, and is much better than what was available ten to fifteen years ago. Cheers!

You really have to have some strategy in playing this game. Also, what about Alter Aeon?

[Audyssey] New Interactive Fiction, Hadean Lands
Hi All, I posted an announcement about this on audio games.net, but figured I should mention it here as well in case there are folk who don’t frequent that forum. Now this is a game I've been looking forward to for a long time, a new full-length bit of interactive fiction from Andrew Plotkin, one of the most celebrated IF authors of the past twenty years or so. It can be bought for $5 on iOS, or directly as a Glulx game file from www.hadeanlands.com http://www.hadeanlands.com/. The iOS game works beautifully with VoiceOVer. But what is this game about, you might wonder? Basically, you're a low-ranking crewmen on a so-called alchemical starship. Something has apparently gone very wrong, and you wake up in the Secondary Alchemical Lab with no real idea of what. You have to single-handedly get the ship in working order again, no mean feat, and figure out what happened and why. Alchemical starship, you might ask? Yes, the starship is stuffed full of alchemical equipment, and you'll find rituals for all kinds of things, from removing tarnish and rust to killing fungus, and that's just all I've discovered so far. The iOS version of the game keeps track of everything you discover in a neat little journal, so you don't have to worry too hard about where your various recipes have gone. I should say that while this is definitely a puzzle-heavy game, the puzzles are quite logical so far, and you can't seem to get stuck in a place from which it's impossible to continue. There is also a lot of handy work behind the scenes to let you repeat rituals quickly, for instance, rather than having to run through every step individually. There's even a VoiceOver accessible map, and you can tap the name of a room to go to it immediately. My sense is that this game was intended to provide hours of alchemical fun, and not be completed in one or even several sittings. It is still a parser game, so won't be to everybody's taste, but I highly recommend you give it a look. You can find it on the App Store or www.hadeanlands.com http://www.hadeanlands.com/, for $5. If you buy it from the web site it will work in Winglulx or similar. Enjoy, Zack. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi Teresa. Yep, the first screen recommending a control method threw me as well.

Re: [Audyssey] compairison between latest and old audio games.
Hi Tom. I agree with you on audio effects, though you should definitely hear some of what somethinelse have been doing on ios sinse it does employ several of the sort of effects your talking about such as the dsp when approaching walls. I would say audio games will never be up to what mainstream games are unless they have the same amount of money, people and resources devoted to them and we know that is not likely to happen. I do think though audio games could achieve more results similar to what independent developers are doing at the moment. so Skyrim or diablo? probably not. Angband or Final fantasy 5? quite possibly. I however am not sure whether chasing the vertical movement unicorn is really the way to go anymore. In the 8 years I've been seeing audio games, nobody has really investigated vertical movement in anything other than a simulation game like lone wolf or tdv, ie a game where the movement is purely coordinates based. I would suggest looking at how the current technology and established methods can be expanded, rather than trying to chase the impossible. ? For example, mysteries of the ancients was not exactly 2D, not in the way that a game like Metroid or Mega man was 2D. You did not have a huge range of ledges all at different hights, and a character with a large amount of movement options in the air. likewise, enemies did not take advantage in full 2D movement, for example in Metroid there are enemies which flie circles above the ground, so the player needs to shoot or duck then when in position, there would not be an accurate way to replicate this in audio. ? Just like Swamp used multiple 2D maps shoved atop each other and linked by stairs to create the 3D impression of a building, Mysteries of the ancients used a set of 1D sections of flooring linked by ropes. This isn't to say it's a bad idea or was a bad game, just that perhaps this is the way that we should be thinking of audio games, not trying to replicate the mainstream mechanics from years ago, but trying to actually think what is possible in audio and how that could be enhanced and dealt with in an efficient way. ? I say this coming from playing a round of the new audio defense game. this fundamentally doesn't add a lot of new audio techniques to the mix, it's at rock bottom a targiting arcade shooter, indeed even though the subject matter and setting are absolutely different, it's a space invaders game. The difference however is how the audio has been employed. Firstly, there are several hazards and tricks just! for audio, like the way Doctor Bastard, the host of the evil zombie game show, will occasionally drop extra loud sound sorces on the arena, or that if you blow up a farty zombie too close to you it'll set your ears ringing. There are also the whisper zombies who specifically sound quieter than other types, get close and then attack at super fst speed. As well as all this, instead of simply pressing buttons or even swiping, your interacting with the game by physically turning your body to face the zombies in real time! this makes for a major change in the way the game works, and is quite an addictive and atmospheric mechanic, even if not much is added too. ? Thus, I think perhaps instead of saying I want audio metroid, or audio marrio, or audio ff7, or audio team fortress we should be saying so what cn audio do that is different and produces a fun gaming experience ? For example, none of the audio 1D side scroller games we've seen thus far have employed changes in the character's movement speed, or the sound of his/her footsteps. Superliam came closest with the water fans that made a sound but had no foot barrier, and the holes that had a step indicator but no sound. ? In the same way, why do so many enemies in audio games (either fps style or side scrollers), immediately attack? wouldn't it be more fun if enemies, like X1's gun, charged up. ? This isn't to say that mechanics like creating mazes out of ropes or stairs are a bad idea, or that having 3D pits or similar traps to jump like Kirtwolf or Monkey business did shouldn't be tried, heck, I'm all for experimentation and I freely admit I've been wrong in the past on what I thought was or was not possible in audio so if someone has a great idea for replicating some vertical movement mechanics, awsome go for it! ? I just wonder if this idea of we want to replicatee as much mainstream mechanics as possible is really such a good attitude in game design for audio games, rather than saying We want to look at mechanics that make a fun game and challenge the player in interesting and addictive ways ? Thus, I tend to think the fact that nobody in an audio side scroller thus far (even a 1D one), has had relativistic accelleration for the character and compitantly different monster speeds is a much more serious issue and one that requires more thought than how to create full

Re: [Audyssey] windows games of microsoft
Hi Dark, Actually, I can think of a number of games that comes with modern Windows that Spoonbill do not have versions for such as Backgammon, Checkers, Mahjong, and not sure if they have a version of Spades yet either. Plus a lot of the Microsoft games for Windows aren't exclusively stand alone games any more. Backgammon, Hearts, Spades, etc can be played online against a human opponent which also makes a difference when recommending the Spoonbill games as an alternative since their games are stand alone games with no online play.

Hi Josh, Are you certain of this? I'm a bit surprised why Microsoft's games would be accessible in Windows 7 and then be totally inaccessible in Windows 8.

Re: [Audyssey] How to Get Past The First Screen In Audio Defence?
Hi Teresa, that is odd. When I first started the game I got a screen asking me what control method I wanted to use. Bare in mind the game does have a slightly long intro, and the menu and select buttons might not appear until it is over. If you hear the sound of a lift and then a zombie arena that is the intro and you need to wait until it is finished before the main menu will turn up.

[Audyssey] Efficiency of judgement and sound sources in games?
Hi. In writing my recent message about games, I did have a rather odd thought about audio. In a game like Super Mario Brothers, (sorry I'm using it as an example again, but it is just one of the simplest and most mechanically perfect games ever created), the player needs to avoid a monster by judging when it reache's Mario's position and taking appropriate action, be that jumping on it's head, moving out of the way or whatever. Even on a flat surface, the player has to judge the relative speed of the monster, and how Mario moves with respect to that, indeed I remember the first time I started that level on super mario brothers that first Goomber who you meet walking along the screen got me, and indeed even a few times after that if I tried to jump on his head and was too slow, thus, a sighted gamer needs to learn and make judgements about the game elements. In a side scrolling audio game like superliam or Q9 however, the movement speed of the monster is always known sinse the player can always hear where the monster is and how fast it is going, and needs to only wait until it gets to the position of the character (usually the center of the sterrio field). Thus, the player has a significant advantage in judging the horizontal speed and movement of the monster as compared to the sighted player sinse the monster's position is always telegraphed, and (thus far), the player's own character in audio always responds instantly when the button is hit, moving when the arro is pressed, stopping the instant it is released, and instantly running when the correct button is held with no accelleration. similarly, sinse in audio an attack needs to have a sound signifyer, the player's attacks are always instant, thus meaning a player is simply waiting for the monster and then hitting the button, as compared to the sighted player's need to judge the monst er's speed and move their character or attack accordingly. I therefore wonder, if by the design of audio games always having monsters and other game elements needing to telegraph their position by sound, if we effectively miss part of game mechanics. Of course, sounds can be obscured and hidden in the mix, but this is a long way from say a sighted player being in a situation tracking several enemies and ffailing to caclulate the movment of one, or being so busy concentrating on what their character is doing they forget the movements of a particular enemy. One way to fix this would be to make the movements and attacks of characters far less efficient in audio. For example, at the moment, you can swing away in a game like Q9 or Superliam, and hit anything, yet if your attack only hit at a range in front of you and not close to your character, you'd need to calculate much more carefully sinse you wouldn't want to risk the monster getting inside your range. This is I believe why 2D fps games have been far more addictive in audio, sinse there you actually need to aim and calculate the range of your attack relative to yoru enemy not just wait and smack. Similarly, at the moment in audio all attacks are pretty instant, you hit the button, the sound plays, the attack comes out. Some games have cooldown on attacks, witness for example the slow rate of fire of say the shotgun in swamp, however one aspect that has not been explored are attacks that begin with a wind up sound and then hit when that sound is over, meaning a player needs to anticipate the movement of the monster, and attack according to the relative position of the monster and when the attack hits. This was another fun mechanic in blind swordsman I noticed, indeed Blind swordsman is a great example of a very simple audio concept, but one which employed many of the mechanics tricks I've thought over the years needed to happen in audiogames. Hope this makes sense. Beware the grue! Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] windows games of microsoft
Hi Tom. that's true about online games, though it's worth noting there is online accessible hearts and spaades in blind adrenaline cardroom, Online draughts (checkers), in the Quentin C playroom, and and online backgammon in pontes backgammon, still I take your point. I suspect draughts and spades will be added to the spoonbill lineup at some point in the future. Also I confess I like the spoonbill games especially their crossword puzzle. they may not have online play but I find them very well designed, although I do wish their computer opponents were a little more challenging at hearts :D.

Re: [Audyssey] How to Get Past The First Screen In Audio Defence?
Hi. Same problem here. I just posted a review about this. They don't state in their description that it doesn't work with the iPod, but they also don't say that it does. I don't think they coded it to work with it, maybe we'll find out soon. I have the iPod touch 5 and I have the exact same problem. To dark, it doesn't even play the music intro at all. It is silent for a while, then that thing about the controls pops up, and you can only read like the top 3 lines of it. You can't get to the buttons to select what type of control you want. In fact, it doesn't even show the whole message that asks you to do so, the end of it is chopped off a bit. I see no reason why it couldn't eventually work with the iPod. It is an audiogame for goodness sakes and the iPod 5 has the same processor as the iPhone 5 or very nearly so.

Hi, Just downloaded and played the game, as dark said the Giro control button on that front screen doesn't seem to work, but if you swipe left it should say tilt your phone, I didn't realise this was actually a button thought it was just text, but once I clicked it the game worked fine.

Re: [Audyssey] How to Get Past The First Screen In Audio Defence?
Hi Teresa. Yes, the buttons to select a control method should be just below that message. Are you playing on your Ipod? Apparently the display shops the controls off on an Ipod screen. Yes, it's a dam annoying bug, though apparently the developers have recieved notification of it. You might try whatever you can to mess with the screen display, (I don't know, I only own an Iphone not an Ipod), but given somethinelse past records I wouldn't be surprised if this gets fixed soon, I'm just sorry it's come up and is stopping people from playing. I've noticed a couple of bugs myself, a gane freeze once when I died and the inability to pickup diamonds in endless mode, but these are miner annoyences rather than huge bugs that stop the thing from being played at all.

Hi. In writing my recent message about games, I did have a rather odd thought about audio. In a game like Super Mario Brothers, (sorry I'm using it as an example again, but it is just one of the simplest and most mechanically perfect games ever created), the player needs to avoid a monster by judging when it reache's Mario's position and taking appropriate action, be that jumping on it's head, moving out of the way or whatever. Even on a flat surface, the player has to judge the relative speed of the monster, and how Mario moves with respect to that, indeed I remember the first time I started that level on super mario brothers that first Goomber who you meet walking along the screen got me, and indeed even a few times after that if I tried to jump on his head and was too slow, thus, a sighted gamer needs to learn and make judgements about the game elements. In a side scrolling audio game like superliam or Q9 however, the movement speed of the monster is always known sinse the player can always hear where the monster is and how fast it is going, and needs to only wait until it gets to the position of the character (usually the center of the sterrio field). Thus, the player has a significant advantage in judging the horizontal speed and movement of the monster as compared to the sighted player sinse the monster's position is always telegraphed, and (thus far), the player's own character in audio always responds instantly when the button is hit, moving when the arro is pressed, stopping the instant it is released, and instantly running when the correct button is held with no accelleration. similarly, sinse in audio an attack needs to have a sound signifyer, the player's attacks are always instant, thus meaning a player is simply waiting for the monster and then hitting the button, as compared to the sighted player's need to judge the monster's speed and move their character or attack accordingly. I therefore wonder, if by the design of audio games always having monsters and other game elements needing to telegraph their position by sound, if we effectively miss part of game mechanics. Of course, sounds can be obscured and hidden in the mix, but this is a long way from say a sighted player being in a situation tracking several enemies and ffailing to caclulate the movment of one, or being so busy concentrating on what their character is doing they forget the movements of a particular enemy. One way to fix this would be to make the movements and attacks of characters far less efficient in audio. For example, at the moment, you can swing away in a game like Q9 or Superliam, and hit anything, yet if your attack only hit at a range in front of you and not close to your character, you'd need to calculate much more carefully sinse you wouldn't want to risk the monster getting inside your range. This is I believe why 2D fps games have been far more addictive in audio, sinse there you actually need to aim and calculate the range of your attack relative to yoru enemy not just wait and smack. Similarly, at the moment in audio all attacks are pretty instant, you hit the button, the sound plays, the attack comes out. Some games have cooldown on attacks, witness for example the slow rate of fire of say the shotgun in swamp, however one aspect that has not been explored are attacks that begin with a wind up sound and then hit when that sound is over, meaning a player needs to anticipate the movement of the monster, and attack according to the relative position of the monster and when the attack hits. This was another fun mechanic in blind swordsman I noticed, indeed Blind swordsman is a great example of a very simple audio concept, but one which employed many of the mechanics tricks I've thought over the years needed to happen in audiogames. Hope this makes sense. Beware the grue!
Re: [Audyssey] How to Get Past The First Screen In Audio Defence?
Hi Valient. As I said to teresa, yepk, I now realize that there is a problem here, and it's a bloody annoying one for those who own Ipods. You are correct that there is no earthly reason the game shouldn't work with the Ipod, hell, it's not even the game as a hole it's just the first selection screen, which is unfortunately unavoidable. I do hope it gets fixed in the near future, though given somethinelse track record with bug fixes I think there is a good chance it will be, remember the pappa sangre 2 button bug? or the slowdown issues?
