I'm afraid I can't say either, but it really didn't open for some reason.

That's part of what I don't understand; you should have been able to
open it at level 23 mage pretty easily.  I didn't see any obvious
reason why it should have been blocking you.

I finally managed to hunt that door down, and you're right:  it's a
full out level 25 lock with no keys.  I've set it to level ten
pickable in the short term, but adding a key for it will have to wait
for the actual builder.  You should be able to knock it open pretty
easily now.

Re: [Audyssey] alter aeon request

[dark]

Hi josh.

I don't think any mud will be like minecraft, since a major reason for 
minecraft is mining different bricks and building things in three dimentions 
with them, rather like lego bricks.


I don't think any mud would have that.

Alteraeon does have some cool crafting though and more is being added, I 
love brewing.

No mining as yet.

if you want a mud with fun mining try clok, though again that's more 
realistic mining where you find ores and smelt them like minecraft.
Alteraeon is great for all the other reasons though, oh and yes, mushZ is 
being updated, I think the last update was in december.


All the best,

Dark.

[Audyssey] alter aeon request

[Joshua Kennedy]

hey since I have not played alter aeon in 6 to 9 months I know I will 
have to make a new character that's fine though. but my question is 1. 
is the mush z sounds still being updated and 2. are there mineing quests 
in the game now, or yet? and can we do stuff with lava like mine it let 
it cool and make stuff with it, get metal and forge or craft our own 
items and stuff? that would be cool if parts of alter aeon could become 
like minecraft sort of like the real popular game sighted folks are into 
playing.

Re: [Audyssey] A Hero's Call, an Accessible Windows game Under development.

[Clement Chou]

Paul, you have a good point. I think it's important to note, though,
that this isn't exactly a role reversal... the developers have been
transparent about making this inclusive from the very beginning, so
luckily, it's not an audiogame first with graphics slapped on... it
was designed from the beginning to involve sighted players as well as
those who would play it audio only, which I think is awesome.
Ah, thanks for the tip Chris. Wish I'd've known that before a lot of
the good rewards ran out! hehe. But this doesn't change the amount I
am going to pledge, as I fully believe in what this company is trying
to do.

Re: [Audyssey] A Hero's Call, an Accessible Windows game Under development.

[Paul Lemm]

Ah good point, it would be interesting to know how much detail will go into
the graphics since it seems quite a big and deep game and I imagine  coding
graphics to it would be a seriously big task since it was designed for the
blind  in an audio setting.  The interesting thing will be the role reversal
of what is often talked about on here which is how difficult is it to
convert a sighted game to a visual game, as now this company is trying the
exact opposite and trying to make an audio game accessible to the sighted, I
wonder if that in itself is just as big a task. Either way it will be
interesting to see the final result and I'm seriously looking forward to
trying this game

Not many hybrid games have been made.
Bar sonnar the only ones made that had any success were the blind eye, 
first demonstration of 3d audio and teraformas which while there are 
some issues shows you what one of these should be like.

Sonnar is doing a lot of this sort of thing but we will see what is next.

Re: [Audyssey] Door in lava tunnels area on Alteraeon

I'd really rather not do that,  I am not a fan of grouping at all, I'd 
prefer to be able to solve things myself.


All the best,

Maybe you could group with someone who has lockpicking skills and they 
could open the door for you then recall out of there.  That's if 
lockpicking has a chance of working.
I think that's why grouping is possible in alteraeon so those with 
essential skills can help solve problems like this for people without 
necessary skills.

Hi.

I'm afraid the door that I mentioned before with respect to the knock 
spell debarcle annoyingly seems to be the one I actually need to get 
through for the quest, since I think I've been everywhere else in that 
dam drow city, however my knock spell just isn't cutting it with that 
door.


Any chance a key could please be added?

It's the metal door to ne from the acute corner.

All the best,

Dark.

I took a quick look around the web site, but only saw the trailer and
a link to the kickstarter page. Do they do a guided demo of the game?
What I mean, is there someone playing the game while the developer
explains things here and there?

So, regarding the movement system, is it similar to Manamon's, i.e.
pushing the up arrow moves the character north, the left arrow moves
west, and so on? How does it actually work? The movement, I mean?

What about random encounters? How long are they making the game? If
you cannot answer these questions, then fair enough, but I am probably
going to contribute, but want to know what I am getting into.
