[Audyssey] nethack useful command

2016-11-07 Thread Jude DaShiell
rogue; hack, and nethack are a family of top view video games written for 
computers during the 1980's and 1990's and updated since then.  In 
nethack, the underscore key command is useful since on any level where you 
have identified a location like an altar stairs or fountain you can use 
the underscore or underline key command to return to those locations by 
keying in the symbol to move to once the underscore key is hit.  If 
monsters are blocking you, you'll have to fight those then repeat the 
underscore command from your new position to get to the original desired 
location.  I've been playing nethack since the 1990's and haven't won any 
of those games yet so it is not a trivial game.  What usually kills me off 
is mass attacks anymore.  I can usually get to experience level 7 before 
that happens these days though and the experience level is improving at 
least.  Experience levels in nethack run from 0 to 30.  Level 1 requires 
16 monsters to be killed and each level after that doubles the amount of 
monsters to be killed.  I found nethack accessible on dos computers and on 
unix/linux boxes playing within terminals since I learned how to interpret 
the symbols andI have the ascii symbols enabled when I play since the 
tiles don't do a thing for the screen readers I use.  Since I retired, I 
abandoned windows since I found I couldn't do a bare metal install of it 
and I found it to be too unstable for my uses when I was working.

Re: [Audyssey] Code 7 fully voiced adventure game

2016-11-07 Thread Appleman
I can concur that the mac version downloaded just fine. I mistakenly downloaded 
the non-visual one first but I now have the correct version and tried it last 
night. Like Bryan, I got stuck. Lol. I commend any developer who takes the time 
to develop for Mac as there aren't a wide range of games available yet. I'm not 
usually into audio adventures but I thought I'd give this one a try and I'm 
glad I did.

[Audyssey] alteraeon: cave of mendelius

2016-11-07 Thread Jude DaShiell
I got red dust in small bag and haven't been able to identify the dust and 
haven't been able to kill the priestess in the temple to the east yet. 
Has anyone done that quest recently and can provide a couple tips?  I 
think that's a three-part quest and I got the first part done.

[Audyssey] want to learn to play bridge?

2016-11-07 Thread Jude DaShiell
Have you got an iPhone?  If yes, bridge foundations although it needs an 
update for ios10 is VoiceOver compatible and needs an internet connection 
to work.  You can use that app and learn to play bridge and maybe later 
find a bridge group to join.  Bridge is the equivalent of chess in terms 
of complexity for card players and I figure as a retired person now it's 
time for me to learn to play that game.

Re: [Audyssey] Anyone playing timecrest?

2016-11-07 Thread Keao Wright

I love the game as well!
I had to restart it a couple of times but it all leads to the same thing.
My furthest chapter is 6 in the last run.
Since this new update came out I wanted to see what new things they had in 
store.

I just started the game. As a note, are we sure Ash is a boy? I haven't read 
that far along, but I'm not entirely sure. It could be like Lifeline, 
uncertain and left to your discression. I like the game a lot so far. It's 
quirky and fun.

Hi Chris.

I'm really enjoying the game so far myself, though I haven't bought any 
time crystals, mostly because it seemms a waste when I can just wait, 
though I might  get some if I need to buy items from the merchant, since I 
would like to support the developers.

Hello,

I’ve been playing the game since July. I’ve played it three or four times 
at this point. I can’t wait until the next set of chapters is released. I 
don’t regret spending $6 or 7 on time crystals as the debs have done an 
excellent job making the game work well with VO.

On Oct 13, 2016, at 12:38 AM, dark  wrote:

Hi.

Timecrest is a really awesome game for Ios from sneaky crab games.

the game's basic formula will be familiar to anyone who's played games 
like one button travel or the three minute games like lifeline.


You get communications on your phone from Ash, a young mage in Alynsia, 
a world under attack by falling meteors.


?

Ash asks you what to do, and texts you (via his pocket watch), about 
what's happening around him. Occasionally, there's a pause in the action 
while Ash goes off and does something in real time (though in Timecrest 
you can skip this with time crystals, the game's in game currency). So, 
the game is sort of like a gamebook played in real time from a single 
character's perspective.


?

Timecrest however has rather a lot more with it. First, it has character 
relationships like the choiceofgames titles, ie, it tracks how well you 
get on with certain people and gives you scenes accordingly. Then, it 
has items you can buy in the game for gold and extra options according 
to what items you have, rather rpg style.


?

Finally it apparently has a world map to explore, though i've not got 
that far along yet.


theThe game is also in itself very atmospheric, with a great soundtrack, 
(it reminds me rather of the final fantasy games), and a compelling 
story about an uncertain boy trying to realize that his world is going 
to end and that the grand master mage he believes in perhaps isn't a 
hero after all.


?

Access wise a lot of work has been done with this one, including 
"descriptive help" buttons on each of the game's tabs, sounds for 
incoming messages, and even a pronunciation mode for vo that has all the 
fantasy names written phonetically so vo says them correctly.


?

I particularly like the way with this one that things move so 
unexpectedly, for example right in the middle of what looks like the 
game's tutorial, someone turns up to try and kill you.


?

My only miner cryticism is that while you get lots of exploration 
options making for replays, often the choices to interact with Ash are 
basically "be decent" or "Be a right scumbag" though this certainly 
isn't enough to actually spoil the game.


?

the game is free to download and play, but time crystals can be bought 
for real money as well as for things like following certain characters 
on twitter (it's actually making me consider getting a twitter account).


though for anyone concerned, I'm not finding the time crystals 
requirement as an in game currency too onerous at all, especially since 
most of what time crystals can do can just be achieved by waiting a 
minute or two (indeed I have discovered the perfect combination, reading 
my book when I'm waiting, then going back to play more of the game).


?

So, definitely one to try out, and one I'd highly recommend.

?

All the best,

?

Dark.
