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.

for the record, this game is actually going to have graphics so
calling it an audiogame is a bit of a misnomer. haha. This company is
doing what I consider to be an amazing thing in trying to include
blind and sighted gamers at the same time, and the focus on graphics
is a good step in bridging the gap between the two. Inclusive gaming
is an amazing idea, and is long overdue in my opinion. I will pledge

Well, it should not be that complicated... especially if your locale
is set to Japanese. Just remember that even with the protalker english
addon installed, that's the synthesizer that has to be active. Espeak
by itself won't recognize the language. I'm not quite sure why you're
having that problem.. unless you haven't downloaded the language pack
for Japanese.

You may be waiting a long time... I would recommend just trying the
game out first. Two main reasons for that... one is that I'm quite
busy with other projects as well as my daily life, and two.. it's
always more fun to explore and try out a game before you consult a
playthrough.

Re: [Audyssey] shadow line issues

2014-02-13 Thread Clement Chou

Yes, everything should work correctly. If not, then you may need to
try installing the Japanese language pack through windows update or
the app store, depending on which version you're using. And last, try
switching your system locale to Japanese to see if the game works. I
have no problems with these games because I have my computer set to
have a Japanese locale, and that hasn't screwed anything up that I
can't fix.

Well, to put it simply... resources are available on the web. It all

and vocabulary off a website, and used as much Japanese as I'm able to
playing games, and most importantly, talking to people.

Well, all those who have seen my posts about this game know just how
awesome I think it is, especially compared to everything we currently
have to play in the audiogames market. This Saturday, February 8th...
the fully voiced version of this game will be released. Here I've
given a link to a recording I just finished making of the game in
action... from the first sub-boss to the end of the first main boss
fight. I don't want to ramble on, partly because I'm not altogether
awake right now... but partly because the rave about this game has
been given before. lol. The acting is in Japanese, of course, and if
anyone wants to know what the characters are saying... I'd be happy to
translate as best I can given how much of the language I know, which
isn't too much on the grand scale of things. Anyhow... enjoy, and get
those questions coming! I intend to do a walkthrough after the voiced
version comes out... and yes, this time I do intend to finish it.
Because this is not just the original game with some voices thrown
in... the game's gone through a pretty big overhaul from the demo I've
played so far. All comments welcome!

[Audyssey] Shadow Line... again

2013-12-20 Thread Clement Chou

Hey gang. It's been ages since I've posted... just haven't had much to
say lately on the subject of gaming because of how busy I've been. But
I've definitely been keeping an eye on the list... anyhow, I just beat
one of the Japanese audio games, Shadow Line... after taking a very
long break from it. lol And the final boss of the game blew my mind.
At least... he did for audio game standards. Thi is probably the most
strategy and timing I've needed to use for a boss, as he has four
different forms... and each form has some sort of unique quality that
requires you to change your game plan at least a little. Anyhow,
here's the recording... enjoy and feel free to comment! :D

Re: [Audyssey] games playable on consoles [was]Re: what will ittake for this community to learn?

2013-06-25 Thread Clement Chou

Fighting games actually are very current. There are tons of them being made, 
especially in Asia. I'm not entirely sure what you mean though.. are you 
talking about current as in popular, what people are playing at the time? 
Because that changes depending on what the new fad is... seems like most of 
what you're refering to are shooters as those are the examples you've given. 
I wasn't trying to criticize, I know you are just curious... most people 
are. lol And racing games, depending on which game you're talking about, can 
be playable to a degree. I can't think of any off the top of my head. 
Fighting games are where i spend most of my time.. especially with the 
inclusion of online features. And fighting games are actually quite popular 
and out in the open now... there are a lot of fighting game tournaments and 
they are probably one of the few genres that allows for competition. And now 
that internet streaming of tournaments is so common, fighting games are 
getting more and more noticed.

Yes sports games are possible. But answer me this: How do you play racing 
games?  How do you know where to turn or if you're going the wrong way? 
Rockband I understand, it's a great game and I like playing it.  I guess 
my point is that we can't play more of the current things if that makes 
sense.  Like COD or Resident Evil.  That's why I like playing games like 
Final Fantasy X, Kingdom Hearts and Mass Effect (to a degree).  I guess 
you could play third person shooters if you do what I do and use a lock-on 
system or use sound cues which is how I play them, ut FPS's are, I think, 
out completely.  I'm not trying to make it sound like totals can't, I'm 
really just curious.

one.  I agree with Thomas on his points.  While I don't play many audio

games
on my ps2/ps3 that I play more, I see it all the time with this 
community
that people aren't happy, that they bitch and moan about keys/cracks 
of

games all the time after a game is released, and even after it's been
released.  However, you can't put the blind community at 100% fault. 
The

I don't know if I'll read this thread after I send this message.  But I'll 
repeat what I said at the beginning of this reply.  While we are a smaller

thing happens on a much larger scale with the sighted players.  However, 
if we keep this up pretty soon you're going to have no one left who wants 
to make games for the blind and then you all will start complaining about 
how you all have nothing that matches up with what todays consoles have. 
And whose fault will that be but your own?  Not everyone can play todays 
games on the ps3 or Xbox360.  I know I'm having trouble with the little 
amount of vision that I have.  It's almost impossible for me to play 
anything new that comes out because the print is to small for me to read 
or I can't see what is on the screen.  I know it's way harder if not 
completely impossible for totals to play anything but fighting games which 
I can not stand whatsoever.  They just bore me after about 15 minutes.  As 
I said, keep it up and see what happens.

Mike.

The amount of flack that just flew around is absolutely unbelievable.
Yes, on the one point, I can see how it could be taken with the particular 
wording used... however, I don't think there's any cause for ripping him one 
the way you did, Charles. I'm probably sticking my neck out onto the 
chopping block... but I think as well that some people are taking a 
miswritten comment and blowing it way, way out of proportion.
As to the main topic.. I feel 72 hours is a reasonable amount of time to 
wait. After that I would start asking... but while I understand Liam's 
position one also has to look at the standpoint of the gamers. 3 days? 
Fine... but if no keys are being sent in months, then shouldn't there be 
something done? If Liam is too busy to check keys every few days which is 
again understandable, couldn't there be an automated system as with 
Draconis?

The reason for switching to the Japanese keyboard is so that it loads

[Audyssey] world of war

2013-06-09 Thread Clement Chou

Since there's been some curiocity about it, here is the game. The game is more 
or less a Japanese remake of judgement day. If you can't afford JD for whatever 
reason, here's a free alternative... the only downside to this being that 
movies and stuff are in Japanese. Nevertheless, enjoy!
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3394499/yukio%27s%20games/wSetup_en.exe
Also, this director has made many other great games, most of which are only in 
Japanese... but if any people are interested in trying these Japanese games 
out, there are ways to get around it if you do not speak the language. Some 
people will not want to, but to each their own.

Hi Clement,

Actually the weapons in Quake can have any kind of properties you'd like.

The reason the sniper rifle allows you to sight players so far away is that 
I coded it to actually change the audio threshold of your avatar so you 
could hear your targeting beeps further away. You might have noticed that 
you would only have a very small window of targeting when sighting someone 
at a great distance because of perspective. This is how a sighted gamer 
plays as well.


anyway, as I said to Paul, AQ can be completely rewritten and customized 
because in order to work with AQ you need to use Quake C which is a quite 
powerful language considering it is only for quake.


anyway, thanks for starting an interesting discussion!

Smiles,

Cara :)

Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients Considerations

2013-05-04 Thread Clement Chou


Hi Tom.
The way I understood it.. that mouse demo was going to be one of the 
features of Max Shrapnel in terms of how it was controlled. I'm not sure how 
into that style of multiplayer pvp shooter you are similar to things like 
Counterstrike or Unreal Tournament, but it would be great to see something 
like that some time down the road. Not saying right now, of course, just a 
suggestion for a possible project. Max Shrapnel, when I read the features 
list James put up on Alchemy, was my dream game... because that was at the 
peak of the hype at the time which was Counterstrike 1.6, probably one of 
the most popular multiplayer shooters out there.

Hi Charles,

You and many people probably forgot but while all the list was focused
on Montezuma's Revenge James North wrote a simple game in the inter
rum that was a prototype of a game he was working on simply called the
Mouse Demo. You might say this Mouse Demo was the forerunner of Swamp
because you would walk around a graveyard with a shotgun killing
zombies. You would walk forward/back using the w and s keys and the
mouse would turn you left/right and would fire your shotgun. It was a
cool game and ahead of its time by at least 8 years. We wouldn't see
anything like that again until Jeremy Kaldobsky came up with Swamp.

Now, I've thought many times of recreating that game, expanding it,
and continuing the work James North had planned, but got bogged down
with MOTA, Raceway, etc. Now, I'm not sure  if I should finish that
zombie demo game, because Swamp is already the same basic concept only
better. Lol.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients Considerations

2013-05-04 Thread Clement Chou

I definitely agree. As fun as Troopanum and Pacman talks are, the inovations 
that James came up with and the way he executed them are unique and 
shouldn't be underestimated. As I already said, his blueprint for Max 
Shrapnel and Montazuma's Revenge were two of my dream games and Max still 
is. I'm still hoping it will be  fashioned in one form or another, maybe not 
as max shrapnel, but as a multiplayer shooter that is more complicated than 
simply point and shoot. Of all the games I've played and seen played, the 
ones I've always wanted in on were multiplayer first-person shooters. Sadly, 
that's never come to fruition in anything even close to resembling how 
complicated a shooter culd be. Audio Quake and Road to Rage are good 
foundation points... but both those games are far too simple to play and far 
too lucky. Road to Rage, made by Ghorthalon on the audiogames forum, for all 
its amazing sounds and high action, is not complex nearly to the degree that 
Max Shrapnel probably would've been let alone something like Unreal 
tournament. It's far too easy to just stand there and shoot and eventually 
hit something. But I digress. James North's contributions are definitely 
still missed by me.. especially as I got to know him a little more 
personally in the last year or so when he was around. His games are still 
some of my favorite ones to play.

Hi Clement,

Exactly. The mouse demo was suppose to give gamers an idea of how Max
Shrapnel was to be controlled, and to give them a little practice
using the mouse as Max Shrapnel was to be largely played using the
mouse much like Swamp is today.  Of course, I remember people wined
and complained about lack of keyboard support back then as they did
with Che over Rail Racer and Jeremy over Swamp until a majority found
out they actually  liked it. Lol.

Anyway, I think a lot of people forget what a great innovator James
North really was. He created Alien Outback before Justin and Dan came
out with Troopanum. He came out with Dynaman before Phil came out with
Pac-Man Talks for Windows. He created Monkey Business and I think it
was the very first attempt at an audio FPS game. He wrote Pinball
Classic and it still remains only one of two pinball games for the
blind. He came out with his rendition of Montezuma's Revenge in 2004
which is the very first audio 2d side-scroller with a vertical and
horizontal axis of movement. Shall I continue?

The point is James North created a lot of firsts, and this community
would be a lot worse off without his contributions. Oh, sure Troopanum
would have come along, and I'm sure Phil would have released Pac-Man
Talks for Windows as he did. Someone would have come up with a 2d
side-scroller eventually, but all of these things were done in the
first few years of the audio game industry and James North was the one
cranking out new games and new ideas that other devs hadn't thought
about yet.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Why SAPI Output is Superior

2013-05-04 Thread Clement Chou

Well, then you also have to assume that the gamer in question has that many 
voices in the first place. lol It would be nice to be able to find a voice 
for each situation, but I find the issue then lies in inflection. Even with 
a deep voice, tts can only read things a certain way... and if a player in 
an rpg is streaming or giving commands, I'd much rather hear it with good 
feeling and inflection. But that's what I get for being a voice-acting 
nerd... lol. But of course, that's all my personal taste... and I do 
understand the cost implications and all the rest of it as well.

Hi Charles,

That's definitely an advantage of SAPI output. Now, I happen to really
like Ivona Amy, she is probably the best British female SAPI voice
I've ever heard, but given your dislike for foreign accents it
wouldn't be ideal for you personally. The way those British voices say
things are slightly different than American voices and that is a turn
off for some people. The best solution therefore is to let people use
whatever they want.

Now, Philip has a point about atmosphere, but then again if a person
has a large number of SAPI voices they can often get a voice to suit
the atmosphere they are looking for. For instance,in Entombed I use
Realspeak Daniel, because I think a deep British voice is appropriate
for an RPG. For Jim's Football I use something like Realspeak Tom or
perhaps Ivona Joey because they make good sports announcers. If I were
playing a game like Tomb Raider and it had SAPI support I'd probably
use Ivona Amy since it is a good British female voice. Bottom line,
with the right voices a gamer can find the voice to suit the mood so
to speak. It doesn't have to be as bad as Microsoft Sam trying to be a
play by play announcer in Jim's Football or the narrator in Entombed.
Its all up to the player what they want in the end. :D

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Quake / 3D FPS games -was- Re: Mysteries of the AncientsConsiderations

2013-05-04 Thread Clement Chou

Actually, that rifle was one of the things I loved about Jedi Quake when I 
tried it. I got pretty good with it at one point, but haven't played AQ in 
so long... should probably give it a go again. I just wish we had more 
multiplayer fps titles. I've said before that I think Swamp's base combat 
and weapons would translate wonderfully to a pvp game. But it's been a dream 
of mine to be able to enjoy something as complex and strategic as 
Counterstrike for a long time, which is why I wish weapons in games like AQ 
would have different properties other than just rate of fire and amount of 
shots that it can hold, etc. The remaining thing for me too... all the audio 
fps titles I've played require too many shots to kill an enemy. In a 
mainstream shooter, it's possible if you're skilled enough to pick people 
off with one shot or two that are well-placed. I wish there'd be some way to 
implement more precise aiming. Targetting headshots is something that 
happens in regular shooters all the time, yet there hasn't been an 
implementation of that in any sort of form that I'm aware of. Swamp in 
particular, with the whole zombie thing would probably benefit greatly from 
a head shot  mechanic, given the fact that in most contemporary fiction 
zombies die the fastest when shot in the head.

Hey there, thank you!

I should ask though, had you ever used the sniper rifle I developed for Jedi 
Quake?


I specifically created it so that it did three things to address all of your 
points. :)


• it used more ammo than normal

• It enabled long-range sniping

• It required a delay of several seconds to fire a second shot

I too, wanted very much to eliminate the whole stand in one place and hold 
down the control key behavior! lol! And yes, I and other players 
successfully and routinely tagged players from long distances and 
occasionally even got off a second shot too. Many of us could also dispatch 
them without them knowing what the heck just happened. ;)


I also added an EM Pulse to Jedi Quake specifically for taking out all 
electronic weapons so players would need to only rely on mechanical, 
slower-firing weapons or weapons with limited ammo.


Anyway, no worries on your opinions of the gameplay, I just want to get 
feedback as your point of view wasn't one I've heard in regard to AQ so far, 
that's all.


Yes, sure, by all means write me off-list if you like. I do think this 
discussion would be great here though too.


Thanks a bunch and talk soon!…

Smiles,

Cara AKA Frag Doll :)

2013-05-04 Thread Clement Chou

I think I remember you telling me that at some point. And honestly, the 
problem with audiogamers... is that a lot of people, not all but a fair few, 
want things to be easy. What audio gamers consider a difficult game would be 
standard affair for mainstream gamers, and I think that headshot aspect 
should've remained in, especially since it wasn't technically necessary. I'm 
curious though... how would you have people centre the sound in both 
horrizontal and vertical planes? Most headphones can't handle up and down 
all that well when panning sounds, at least, not that I know... I was 
thinking to have some sort of elongated sound for when you were lined up for 
a headshot. That's how I would've done it. I've just always found that to be 
an aspect of fps games that've been missing in audio shooters and would add 
so much more skill and challenge.

Clement, Swamp almost had a headshot aspect to it, but early in development 
I took decided against that feature because it increased the difficulty for 
players.  The original idea was that moving the mouse vertically would line 
up head shots, so you had to center the sound on both axis.  In those early 
days I was still fighting tooth and nail to even get people to accept the 
mouse, so I limited the game to a single horizontal axis.

2013-05-04 Thread Clement Chou

The beeps would've been what I would use. And Swamp definitely feels like a 
mainstream game... definitely no disagreement there, and I love it. I just 
think it's a shame that there couldn't be another multiplayer fps with as 
much refinement and as many weapons worked into it as Swamp already has. The 
groundwork for what could potentially be a competetive shooting game is 
there, but it doesn't work like that from a programming perspective. But we 
can hope for an eventual game like that. At least, I can. lol Shooters are 
the style of game that's fascinated me the most, and playing online against 
multiple other people is something I've always liked the concept of. I would 
love nothing more than to be able to sink my teeth into something like call 
of Duty.

Not sure how Jeremy planned to use the vertical axis, but I think 
(although

it wasn't exactly for head shots) in audio quake since there could be
enemies on different heights you had the standard  left and right stereo
panning  for aiming left and right and then 2 bleeps  that sounded at
different  speeds until you lined them up for the vertical axis.  Have
played many main stream zombie games such as resident evil and have always
loved the ability to head shot and take out a zombie with just one shot,
there's just  something very satisfying about it lol. I know Jeremy's not
planning on any more updates to swamp but maybe if he did as a compromise 
to

not make it seem to complex  that people don't want to try it maybe there
could be that head shot choice just when using the sniper. Even without 
the

head shots though swamp is still an amazing game  and to me feels like
playing a main stream game   already and I look forward to seeing what
Jeremy produces next.

At that early stage it wasn't a very polished idea, so it was going to rely 
on firing first to know how close you were to a headshot.  Basically you'd 
fire and hear a different impact sound based on how low or high you had hit 
on the zombie.  Well, that was the plan anyway and the idea was trashed 
before even making it far enough in to have sounds for it.  I don't even 
think Kai was working on Swamp sounds yet when the feature was cut.

Thank you for the compliments.  I think here in the audio game community, 
saying a game feels mainstream is among the highest expressions of praise 
possible!  :D

I should write something up about my current project.  I've informed many 
people from the audiogames.net group but I don't remember ever saying 
anything here on audyssey.  I could use a code break right now, so I'll toss 
something together so that people at least know what I'm working on these 
days.

I'm no programmer at all, but from what I understand it would be a little on

there's probably other things I'm missing out on. But it would be nice... 
however, I think I remember Aprone saying at some point that he wasn't

spectrum  128k( now I'm showing  my age lol), so I really don't have the
first idea about programming  but since swamp is  such a good game and
completed ,  (and excuse my complete ignorance here as I really don't know
the first thing about programming) but would it be very difficult to take
out the zombies and replace with PVP? Totally appreciate  though  that 
it's

not all about programming and it might just be a direction that Jeremy
doesn't want the game to go but I just wondered theoretically if  it would
be  huge to make a change like that and then release it as a separate 
game?

audyssey in the loop.

Hey guys,

   I spend most of my time on the audiogames.net forum, and every now and 
then I'm reminded that I've shared news with them but forgot to post it 
here as well.  My apologies, people of the audyssey list!  :D  LOL.

   After my 2.9 patch for Swamp I began working on a new project.  To make 
a long story short, I learned I was going to need to get a second job in 2 
months so I wanted to make the most of them.  I officially ended 
development on Swamp and have dedicated myself to getting some stuff 
accomplished in the 2 months I have left.  After I get the additional job 
I will have a lot less time available to work on projects, so I don't know 
how that will impact my efforts as a game developer.

   The new project can actually be thought of as 2 separate, but linked, 
projects.  My new game is going to be an RPG based in the 
Daytona/Castaways storyline.  It will take place many years after the 
Daytona game, and you will learn what happened to the leader from the end 
of the Castaways game.

   The mouse hardware requirement for Swamp was a terribly unpopular move 
for a very very long time.  Using the word unpopular may even be an 
understatement, ROFL!  Well that battle was fought and won, and I feel the 
audio games community is a better place now that the mouse is an accepted 
tool for gaming.  This opens up more options for game developers, and that 
is always a good thing!  Well this RPG is going to follow in those foot 
steps and require a new piece of hardware.  In a move that will go down in 
audio games' history as an epic mistake, or as a revolution, my RPG will 
require players to have a 3D head tracking headset I have named the See 
Munkey.  (I still crack a smile when I say See Munkey out loud.)  While 
wearing the headset in the RPG you can simply move your head around to 
move the head of your in-game character.  This will give a more natural 
playing experience plus allow you to easily look up or down to get a 3D 
feeling of your
surroundings.  To determine the locations of sounds in the real world, we 
naturally move our heads to see how the sounds will change.  This gives us 
far more data than we can get from being perfectly still, which is how we 
normally are in games.  I'm trying to give players that same advantage 
inside of the game world.

   Development of this device has burned through 3 weeks, which is more 
than I planned for.  The good news is that I not only have a working 
prototype but I've already ordered a shipment of parts to produce 13 more. 
More detailed information about the Munkey will show up once I'm ready 
to sell them but here are the basics:

   The device clips on to your existing headphones, or clips on to a 
plastic headband that comes with it in case you use ear buds instead of 
headphones.  It does not produce sound to replace your headphones, which 
is a common misconception, but rather tracks the orientation of your head 
in all 3 axis.  This data can be read by games and programs to customize 
the experience.  This is similar to how a game can be designed to receive 
input from a mouse or a joystick.

   The device can be used by other developers!  If these do find their way 
into the hands of many players, it will be a brand new tool for 
developers.  It is my understanding that BGT is already set up to handle 
serial communications, which means programmers who use BGT will be able to 
incorporate the headset immediately into their own projects.  Other 
developers can easily look up how to read and write to the device using 
serial communication, which will give them the same ability.

   Games that aren't designed for the headset won't suddenly become 3D 
when you use it.  This is the same as playing a game that isn't designed 
to work with a joystick or mouse.  Separate software can be used to map 
the See Munkey to the mouse or keys though, which means you can have an 
interesting new way to play even those games.  As an example, Swamp is not 
designed to use the headset yet I was still able to play using it.  I 
mapped turning my head to the mouse X-axis, forward to tilting my head 
down, and backward to tilting my head back.  I didn't do it at the time, 
but I could have also made tilting my head left or right to perhaps side 
step, reload my weapon, or toggle the radar.  It wouldn't replace the need 
for the keyboard, but it was definitely a new playing experience!

So yeah, that's pretty much what

Hi all,
For those of you who play fighting games, what controller do you use? I've 
been using the stock Xbox 360 controller for a few days, and am rather 
unimpressed. I'm currently leaning toward the Versus pad from PDP, because 
it has great reviews, and is on clearance for cheap. I've also been 
looking at the Microsoft controller with transforming D-pad, but that 
one's a bit on the pricey side right now, plus I don't really need the 
charge and play kit it comes with.
I'm at a bit of a double disadvantage because I'm used to playing street 
fighter with a keyboard, so any controller feels clunky to a degree.
Any controller recommendations or other tips in this area would be greatly 
appreciated.

True. Although, a lot of the reason for the input and audio lag is not
enough memory on the virtual machine. The more ram you throw at it and
have to throw at it the better it will run. I often wondered if I
updated this laptop to say 8 GB and then gave an XP virtual machine
say 4 GB how well games and applications would run on it.

Re: [Audyssey] Giving Away Free Games was Announcement About BSCGames

2013-04-23 Thread Clement Chou

Definitely agree with all the points. But at the same time, I don't think 
it's just blind customers either. Sighted gamers or computer users are 
liable to pirate anything they think is to expensive because they are on 
fixed incomes or because they don't think something is worth the value that 
they have to pay.

BSCGames

Hi Michael,

Yes, exactly. Plus I think something people often overlook is a free
game should be considered a gift not an obligation. When Philip
Bennefall created Kryngal Crash he could have charged $10 for that
game and I would have gladly paid for it,but he gave that game away
for free. I equally think the Grate Toy Robbery from L-Works is
another game worth a small fee like $10 but Liam gave that game away
for free. Some people though are under the mistaken impression just
because Jim Kitchen gives away his games for free or Liam gives away a
free handout like Great Toy Robbery that they should get games out of
some sense of obligation etc. Its this entitlement attitude that some
people have that really angers me.

I remember a case in point a few months back. I was on a list where
someone was giving away copies of some commercial audio games. When I
called the list moderators and the person on it they gave me the
excuse that well some blind people are on fixed incomes like SSI. They
do not have a lot of money so its OK if someone buys it and gives the
games away for free. So I am given to understand due to this
entitlement attitude people have if a person doesn't have much money
the developer is obligated to give their games away for free, and if
they don't they are morally in the right to just pirate it. Its no
wonder certain developers don't have much respect or trust for their
blind customers.

Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Can a sighted person play swamp?

The first thing that would make it easier for sighted people to play swamp 
is that Swamp does have graphics. And it also is important to consider how 
you approach someone sighted with a game that has no graphics.

I will say this. It depends very much on the person... but if I can

[Audyssey] translating japanese games [was]Re: Looking For Something New to Play

2013-03-22 Thread Clement Chou

The difference is, a lot of people don't want to have to try so hard to 
understand 50% of a game's story. I'll be honest... I'm one of them. I want 
to be able to leap right into a game and not have to worry about setting up 
clipboard monitoring, translation software, etc etc. Yes, yu may understand 
505 of the story... but that's how much you think you can understand. For 
all you know the words could be completely different, but because of 
different Kanji used it's hard to tell. To be frank... if I didn't have the 
knowledge of Japanese I do, I would probably be in the same boat as Tom and 
Dark on this matter. Heck I find it irritating to have to pause the game 
just to look up a couple words. I can't imagine stopping at every line of 
dialog to translate it and try and decode the mess that I usually get.
At Dark... while Japanese itself isn't that hard to translate, that isn't 
the problem... the problem is the grammar and syntax difference. At its most 
basic form, the basic word order for Japanese is subject, object and verb 
whereas in English it's subject verb object.  That can mess up translator 
sometimes, and also because words in Japanese have different meaning 
depending on the sentence and context. Toriaezu, for example can mean at 
first, right away and a couple of others. How do you translate that? A 
translator can't figure that out.. that's where you need someone with a 
working knowledge of the language to figure out what context that is. That's 
why the BK 2 translation project has been halted for so long.. because noone 
has time to pick through the translated sentences to pick out what little 
meaning can be found in them. I admire their patience in being able to 
handle that much pasting, but I couldn't do it. Sure I could slog through 
it... but then the game just straight becomes more about the action, not the 
story and action together, and especially in an rpg, that's important. At 
least, to me.

If I had to make an estimate, I'd say I understand at least 50% of the 
story. The story is definitely not utterly unreadable, not if you pay 
close attention and pick what you can out of the translated sentences. 
They are fairly jumbled, but most of the time I can figure out at least 
the jist of what was being said. It's especially easy now that there's the 
InstantTranslate Addon for NVDA.


As for the games speaking Japanese, first of all, that sounded more like 
chinese, haha. And secondly, that only happens with the self-voicing 
games, which don't work with translators anyway. The only way the games 
that use clipboard output speak japanese is if you set them up with a 
clipboard monitor and a japanese Sapi voice.


These games are very, extremely playable, the storyline can be read with 
some patience and careful listening, the game mechanics of every game I've 
played so far are easy to understand and I personally think anyone who 
doesn't at least give the games a try is missing out on some serious 
awesomeness since there is nothing even remotely equivalent in english, 
and won't be for a while if the games that are in development now are any 
indication.

Well if I assumed a little too much I appologize. Though the trouble with 
the games for me specifically hasn't actually been the language.. more the 
lack of time to sit down and play them. But at least you can understand the 
majority of what's going on... which is more than I could do with the use of 
translation stuff. It isn't that I'm trying to be arrogant or anything, I 
just honestly find it throws me off to the point where it makes more sense

No, that's not what I think I can understand, that's what I understand. 
It's actually not as hard as you're making it out to be, and with 
InstantTranslate, there is no pasting anymore, it's just a matter of 
hitting one extra keystroke in between lines of dialogue, menu choices, 
etc. The stories make sense to me, and I can usually tell when a line of 
dialogue has gotten seriously messed up by the translator. I have used 
translation to beat Shadow Line, a game that many people, including you, 
had trouble with for supposed lack of direction. In truth, there's plenty 
of direction in that it tells you exactly where to go or has you follow 
straight paths, like getting to the first dungeon. I've also confirmed a 
lot of things with Yukio, for example, I just went through and translated 
the entirety of BK2 using instant translate, then asked Yukio about some 
of the storyline. Turns out I was able to make sense of about 80% of it 
and the only parts I missed were some of the goofy humor parts that seem 
to be common in the japanese audiogames. I also have a little trouble 
translating some scenes where the characters are just sitting around 
talking about things that aren't story related for some reason, but that's 
it. So please, don't tell me what I think I understand when A, I know how 
japanese grammar structure works so I know what to watch out for, and B, I 
can tell you what every game I've beaten was about, with confirmation from 
someone native to the language, and exactly how the game mechanics work.

Hi Dark.
Like I said earlier, I get it.. these games aren't for everyone. I'm just 
curious as to how much story the people using the translator tools are 
getting since for me, a good rpg or action adventure title would definitely 
need to have a good story. It's almost ironic... that I understand more 
without the translators than with them. While my Japanese isn't completely 
fluent, it's good enough that I understand about 30-40% of what's usually 
said. If I try to use the translation methods most of the audiogamers use, I 
get so confused. lol

element of enjoyment from the game.


this was why i grew quickly frustrated when i tried bockerano debuken,

Of course, if I spoke japanese my position would likely be different

Couldn't agree with you more. Regardless how bogus or not cost verses
benefit is perceived to be its still a driving force regardless what
any of us might think. If a company does not think adding feature x is
in their best interests long term they aren't going to do it out of
the goodness of their hearts, for ethical reasons, or because they
want to show equality to their fellow man. The cold truth is we live
in a capitalist society, at least most of us do, and in that type of
economic system making money is the bottom line. Regardless of what a
non-programmer might think adding accessibility does cost money, and
for a company all they care about is the cost of developing the
accessibility verses how much adding that accessibility will net them
if added. In short, what's in it for them?

Re: [Audyssey] Blindness United: Was: You Don't Know Jack for iOS

2013-02-11 Thread Clement Chou

Dakada I do agree with you on principle. But however bogus the thing about 
market and cost vs. benefit has to be taken into consideration. Whether 
we're united or not, developers won't do it if there's no reason better than 
just because a bunch of people want it. And while I believe in this cause, I 
think there are way more important things the blind community could be a lot 
more united about. Getting back on topic though... I do agree that something 
needs to be done. But frankly... I'm not quite sure how to go about doing it 
either.

Makes sense, and I can see where you're coming from. I never asked for 
bowling rails, I always just tried it based on my own orientation, but I 
guess you would want a lot more out of a bowling game because of the fact 
you did it seriously once. I would probably do the same for Goalball or any 
video game that had a protagonist who used the martial art I practice. I 
would want as much detail and accuracy as possible too.

Re: Accessable games fortheplaystation three.

I guess I want more than a lot of other people when it comes to 
accessibility.  It is true that blind people need sighted help when at the 
bowling center.  Making sure that the rail is correctly set, telling us the 
remaining pins after the first ball, and so on.  But if I know the result 
of each shot, I keep my own score on an abacus so that I know how I'm 
doing. When I was on a sanctioned league, I carried a 110 average.  No 
bumpers were used.  But I did my own aiming by using a bowling rail.  I 
would want at least that much from any game I play.

Fair enough. But I guess the mindset I have is that when I play games, I 
almost always play them with other people... console games are just more 
fun when there are friends around. By that definition, Rock Band isn't 
accessible either, since you can't know how much you got for points and 
whatnot at the end of a song. But everyone has their own opinion, I 
guess. I just grew up on console games so it's never really mattered that 
much to me. I've always believed that if I could access most of the 
features of the game, then as far as I'm concerned it's accessible. 
Though to be quite honest, I never really liked sports games anyway... 
for things like bowling especially. I'd rather participate in the real 
thing, like going bowling for real.

To me, it does matter than I cannot know the remaining pins or

score frame by frame?  While bowling is a sport that is more fun with a 
crowd, I enjoy it as a challenging game of skill, and if skill cannot be 
used, or the results cannot be known, I'm not satisfied with the game.

To me, useable feedback is being able to accomplish the tasks given 
above with no sighted help.

A good example of a good bowling game is Tenpin Alley from

www.draconisentertainment.com

It gives the feedback I need to enjoy a game of bowling, plus, others 
can play as well.  Everyone is on equal ground when playing this bowling 
game.

I only have one question about that. Again, the blind community is a small 
one... and we wouldn't put a dent in their sales by not buying a game 
because of inaccessibility. I agree with you on principle, but the fact is, 
do you know exactly how easy it would be to implement any of the changes 
you're mentioning? Developers who work with their own ui's have no interest 
whatsoever in working with the native api which includes support for 
voiceover just because a small handful of people, no matter how united, sees 
it as useful. And small changes can be expensive. I found out recently that 
just to update a mainstream console game with some minor fixes costs them 
quite a sum. Just uploading the patch costs them $4.

Hi,

well, I know that the thing vibrates and makes a sound when you click on 
something, but this method of clicking through everything until you find 
the correct button is nothing I'd like to do to play a game. That means 
spending at least 5 minutes searching before I can even start. Besides, 
you get the same when you finally started Wii Sports, because you have to 
find the bowling game too. It's playable with help, yes. But it's not 
accessible. Accessible for me is when you can play a game without sighted 
help at all. But that doesn't mean that this is only for audiogames, I 
would for example call quite a few fighting games accessible, because you 
can pretty much play alone when you had someone who explained the menus 
once. But the Wii is a completely different thing here, for me at least. I 
want to know what I'm doing when I play something, not just randomly try 
something in hope that it might work.

Best regards
Sarah

I think this comes down to a definition of what's accessible... as Brian 
already said, that while things like the wii are not accessible in the 
traditional sense that audio games are, they are very much accessible in the 
way we can access them and play them effectively. Personally, again agree 
with brian... I wouldn't ever play wii sports by myself, or any other sports 
or rhythm game for that matter. Those are just more fun to do with 
friends... and actually, you don't have to try and find the start button, as 
long as you're pointing the control on an item on the screen of the system

I notice that you say that you have to try to find the correct game and 
to try to find the start button.  To me, the hunt and peck method of 
finding what you want is very undesirable.  If you could raise or lower the 
triggering device to the top or bottom and count clicks from a known 
reference point, then it would be accessible.


But once the game has started, can you accurately and skillfully play the 
games with a known target with no sighted assistance?  If not, it is not 
accessible.  Wildly and randomly shooting, or just guessing when or where 
to shoot or aim is not playing with skill.  You might succeed by pure luck 
or on a chance, but you're not using any actual skill.

Strategy means this is the wrong place to look. This game is just one for 
mindless fun... I have one game design that's been sitting in the back of my 
brain for about a year which would be a beat em up with a lot more strategy. 
But no programming knowledge or time to learn it means no fruition. lol And 
the thing about this game is... you can't button-mash. That's when you get 
killed... because there's a lot of recovery time between each strike or 
jump. If you time that jump wrong, you still get caught, and sometimes you 
have to jump over chains right into an item or wall. So there is some 
measure of strategy.

Re: [Audyssey] NVDA Instant Translate

2013-01-26 Thread Clement Chou

If you go into bk 2, under the  screen reader setting where the nvda and 
sapi options are, the top is clipboard. Just click it... and you'll get no 
speech. As to your locale, that's in your changing keyboards and input 
methods. I don't remember exact steps. Locale doesn't change your whole 
system... only the non-unicode programs.

[Audyssey] Hatsuuri combat

Hey folks. Here's another game that's quite interesting, another Japanese 
one... I will post the download link later. But for now, here's a quick demo of 
the game. Very addicting arcade fun, and a bit of a new twist on the beat em up 
where audio games are concerned.

Hi,

ok, I downloaded Brave of Cloudia and I'm using NVDA with the translation 
plugin. When I now start the game and try to get the translated text from 
the clipboard it only reads the jumbled letters and ssymbols which you 
get when reading japanese text in windows. I tried to install the 
japanese keyboard from the windows control panel, but it wants the 
windows CD which I can't find right now. The strange thing is, the 
translation plugin just works with Bokurano Daibuken 2, without Japanese 
settings in windows or anything, but it won't work with brave of cloudia. 
What can I do now to get the translated text from the plugin?

Thanks for your help and best regards

Hello,

This is for those of you that have wanted to try out the japanese games, 
but don't want to go through the hastle of pasting everything into google 
translate. It's also a lot easier to set up.

Note that you will still need to install the japanese keyboard and IME for 
this to work properly.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2658966/Instant-Translate-2.1.nvda-addon

Download this Addon and run it to install it into NVDA. If it tries to 
download as a zip folder for whatever reason, set your filetype to all 
files, and add the .NVDA-addon extension to the end of the filename. 
Credit goes to Sadavoi Alexi for this awesome Plugin.

Now once you have your computer set up to display japanese correctly, 
including changing the system locale, all you need to do is go to instant 
translate settings in NVDA Preferences and set your input language to 
japanese. Do not use auto detect, as sometimes it tries to translate as 
chinese, which really does not work very well. Then you just select your 
japanese game of choice that has the auto-copy to clipboard function and 
you'll be able to play fine. NVDA shift T translates selected text, NVDA 
shift Y translates text from the clipboard.

I don't think there could be a simpler way to play these games. I hope 
this introduces some new people to the awesomeness that is the japanese 
audiogames, and I hope you all enjoy. If anyone needs help with anything, 
either plug-in or game related, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Subject: [Audyssey] Much easier Japanese Game Translation

Hello,

This is for those of you that have wanted to try out the japanese games, 
but don't want to go through the hastle of pasting everything into google 
translate. It's also a lot easier to set up.

Note that you will still need to install the japanese keyboard and IME for 
this to work properly.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2658966/Instant-Translate-2.1.nvda-addon

Download this Addon and run it to install it into NVDA. If it tries to 
download as a zip folder for whatever reason, set your filetype to all 
files, and add the .NVDA-addon extension to the end of the filename. 
Credit goes to Sadavoi Alexi for this awesome Plugin.

Now once you have your computer set up to display japanese correctly, 
including changing the system locale, all you need to do is go to instant 
translate settings in NVDA Preferences and set your input language to 
japanese. Do not use auto detect, as sometimes it tries to translate as 
chinese, which really does not work very well. Then you just select your 
japanese game of choice that has the auto-copy to clipboard function and 
you'll be able to play fine. NVDA shift T translates selected text, NVDA 
shift Y translates text from the clipboard.

I don't think there could be a simpler way to play these games. I hope 
this introduces some new people to the awesomeness that is the japanese 
audiogames, and I hope you all enjoy. If anyone needs help with anything, 
either plug-in or game related, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Well, I've never done it the translating way... I've always just relied on 
my Japanese knowledge, so this clipboard thing actually slows me down. lol 
But for anyone who doesn't already know the language, it's a fantastic way 
to get in to those games.

What I find amusing about this message is that the PlugIn uses google 
translate for it's translation, lol. Maybe where you ran into problems was 
using the detect language option on google translate and having it try to 
detect japanese as chinese.

As for translating menues, just be glad you have the PlugIn now and didn't 
do it the way I did when I was beating all of morokuma's games. I had to 
paste each menu option into google translate, and it got especially bad 
for item and equipment management. This PlugIn makes it much easier, easy 
enough that I've decided to give Brave of Cloudia another whirl and am 
doing a lot better with it since I can actually realistically equip my 
characters without it taking 4 hours, haha.

Oh, let me just say the Ark won't be empty. After all, that is the
entire point of finding it. It would be extremely anticlimactic to say
the least if you open the Ark of Hope and find absolutely nothing
inside. That would be a huge let down.

No, if you open the Ark of Hope, which is the point of the game, you
will let Elpis, the spirit of hope, out of the ark where upon she will
give you the power to defeat the final boss. Anyone want to make a
guess who will be the final boss?

Hint:

His name is often used in the English language to describe a certain
state of mind, but he was a well known villain in the Greek legends as
well.

So I'm pretty sure a lot of people here have been wondering just what
Bokurano Daibouken is. Here's hoping this demo will shed some light on it,
and why it's become, personally, my top audio game. If anyone asked me 
what

my favorite game of the current time was, I would have to say bokura no
daibouken 2. No disrespect meant to other developers, because I love all 
the
games around right now and appreciate the hard work put in to them. but 
the

sounds, music, gameplay challenge and sheer amount of content, weapons and
items is staggering. I urge anyone who likes challenging action titles, or
even people who just are interested in beat em ups but don't mind not
getting much of the story to check out this game, and oyu won't be
disappointed.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3394499/bokura%20no%20daibouken%20demo.mp3
So here's my follow up to what I said in the recording. In order for the
game to display properly, you have to change your system locale, or your
non-unicode programs language to Japanese. This will have some small 
effects

on your computer as a result. And the option you have to change will be
named differently depending on windows 7 or xp, respectively. I mentioned
health and upgrading in the demo... you can upgrade your health and buy
more, but there are no actual upgradable weapons... just better variants 
of

the one you have. I hope this information and the demo I put together
quickly will shed some light on what this game actually is... and if there
are any questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer, along
with all the people who are playing or have played this game.

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions

2013-01-16 Thread Clement Chou

Agree with you completely, Thomas. And I personally like the idea of a user 
ID for a given game site. If players need to upgrade to a new system or 
recover the key, they can b e limitted to a certain amount of authorizing 
computers. And, to mix in some Sony methods, if one computer is deauthorized 
that means the program can no longer be used on that computer. But have, say 
three authorizations available, and then if they want to reuse it they'll 
have to either buy it again or at least pay half-price for a fresh set of 
three authorizations.

Hi Josh,

Oh, I definitely understand where you are coming from on this subject.
Piracy is in deed a real problem, and if its true there are 300
pirated copies of Monkey Business out there that is something on par
of $9,000 loss in sales. That is most definitely not a small sum to
just take lightly.

One thing I have been considering doing here is instead of offering
unlockable demos on the website is to having a demo version and a full
version available for download. A person can download the demo from
our website, but when they pay they will be sent a one time random
link where to download the actual game from. After they download it
the link will expire so no one else can come along and download the
game again.

The other idea I have had is a type of ID system similar to Apple
where you have an account on the server that keeps track of what games
you purchased and so on. When you register the game you enter your
user name and password and it goes online and checks if you have a
purchase for the product and activates the product if found.
Basically, I'm talking about online product activation which is far
less troublesome as the hardware registration used by some audio game
companies.

Either way I think there is a way to still do demos and limit piracy.
One big reason many people pirate software is because it costs too
much. I know there are people on this list who live in places where
$25 USD is a huge sum of money in their currency. Bringing the cost
down should hopefully help with that problem.

Cheers!

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] accessability costs,as usual - Re: Good iPhone games 
for Voiceover user

I don't usually chime in on these threads, but as an iPHone user and 
developer, I wanted to make a few points briefly.

If you just want a phone, not a smart phone, then an Android phone might be 
the more cost effective option…but if you want to use your phone…as most 
people do…as a smart phone, then an Android phone is a terrible solution, at 
present,  for a visually impaired person.

The iPhone has a far greater number of higher quality apps with 
accessibility, and you will get far more out of your phone than you can hope 
to do so, at least at present, with the half-baked access available for 
Android. This will hopefully change in the future, but at present access on 
Android phone's cannot hold a candle to the iPhone.

Also, the iPhone 5, as Charles pointed out, has a larger screen, but 
cost-wise, you also have the options of the iPhone 4S for $99, or the iPhone 
4 for free with a two year contract in the US and many other countries. Both 
of those devices are excellent, especially for the price.

Accessibility aside, compatibility across different Android devices is 
sketchy at best, and the Android marketplace is rattled with malware that 
one must contend with.

Also, most Android phones can not be updated to the latest software. 
Compare this to the iPhone 3GS, released with VoiceOver in 2009, which can 
run iOS 6, the current version of the operating system. I don't believe 
there are *any* Android phones released in 2009 that can run Jelly Bean. 
Your cost-effectiveness goes out the window if you want to stay current with 
the software. You'll be needing a new phone every few months to a year.

Hopefully, in time, these problem areas, including accessibility, will be 
ironed out on Android, but it is unlikely to be for the foreseeable future.

The fact that Android is a choice at all is good. Competition is always a 
good thing, but I think that there are a lot of factors to consider, 
especially as visually impaired users, here.

Just my two cents.

Re: [Audyssey] Storyline for game.

2013-01-03 Thread Clement Chou

I don't know the entire story because I haven't finished the game. And I 
don't know the entire thing of what I've played so far, because my Japanese 
is high beginner level at best in terms of vocabulary. But this is what I 
know so far.
Your player character is the hero of a story that involves food going 
missing in your city. People aren't eating as much as they should be, and 
there are some, um, juveniles I guess that appear to be behind it. But with 
the more exotic enemies comes more mystery, since it becomes clear that 
there isn't just some problem with the food situation in the city. Machine 
enemies are appearing everywhere, and there are several instances where the 
player has to rescue hostages from buildings. It's starting to look like 
there's something to do with experimentation... not on humans as such, but 
it's something darker than how much food there is in the city.
that's as much as I know of the story, that I've been able to translate 
anyway.

Hello, All.
I was wondering if anyone might know what is the storyline for Bokurano 
Daiboukenn?

It would be great to know the story.

Re: [Audyssey] British coinage

2012-12-27 Thread Clement Chou

Chill out there, my friend. Personally, an option to choose from a list wuld 
be my preference. I see things from both sides... and Dark, as to having a 
physical experience that you can relate to, I would tend to agree... but 
video games don't necessarily have to be relatable to be imagined right? 
Yeah, one could argue that Blackpool tower would mean a lot more to anyone 
who's actually been there... but the sounds and ambiance could serve just as 
well to let someone who has never been there imagine they were. That's why 
games have and should have good ambiance and sounds... especially audio 
games. Video games are all about the immersion experience, whether you've 
been there or not. Playing final fight, you could say it's abstract because 
you've never been a martial artist who was stuck in a long, horrizontal 
space and fought enemy after enemy so you can't relate. Sure you can't 
physically relate... but that's what your imagination is for. Maybe it's 
different for a game based on coins, yes, but I think if you know enough 
about the coinage you're working with, then it shouldn't be that big of a 
deal... maybe you could find exchange rates or something. I'm not shooting 
anyone's ideas down, and again at trouble... this isn't about gripes or 
complaints. Just people expressing their opinion and wishing for something 
in a game from a developer who asked for fan input... nothing wrong with 
that.

See this is why a lot of programmers don't even want to touch games for 
the blind. The blind on this list pick them apart, moan and grown until 
the programmers changes it to meet there gripes.
Well what about the programmer? They put the game out there for you to 
play. It is not like there are a lot of games for the blind. Who cares 
what kind of denomination the game uses.The numbers are still the same and 
mean the same in the game. A game should be put out without blind 
community influence or maybe those bitching would like to do the 
programming? I can understand fixing bugs, but changing the game to fit 
your petty egos?

Re: [Audyssey] bakurano screen reader problem

2012-12-26 Thread Clement Chou

First things first. When you load the game, during the logo, press e. 
That'll load the English patch if it skips the logo music. Then go down 
three times to options and hit enter. Go down twice for the speech option. 
Then, personally I recommend going down to the bottom by hitting end for 
sapi. Once you click that wait a few seconds and sapi should start talking.

Let me ask you this. How do you know you haven't found the stick?

There's no noise to indicate you're moving, only a shift in the stereo
positioning of the firing sounds of an enemy ship or of an explosion..

The stick is small, but if you touch in the bottom left corner of your
device, you'll at least be certain of going southwest.

Alright. And just to confirm, this is all assuming your home button is to

Ok.

Hmmm. Where to begin.

The control stick for navigating your ship is located along the bottom
left corner of your screen, which is put into landscape mode by
default. Let's assume your Home button is to the right, your control
stick is about one inch square, maybe an inch and a half, but I don't
think so. It's just at the bottom left corner, and the thing you need
to remember is that there is inertia and acceleration. What I mean is
this. If you push the control stick on the left side or move it left,
you won't just slide left. You will build up speed in that direction.

If you are touching the control stick icon, your engines are firing,
and you are moving in the direction you've touched. If you go outside
the control stick's borders, you are no longer firing your engines,
and you come to a stop over time.

As for your weapons buttons, your bottom right corner, and a two inch
by one inch rectangle proceeding left and up from that point is your
primary firing button. Weapons fired with this button have unlimited
ammunition. Above this, along the right side of the device's screen
are two more panels, about an inch square, with secondary weapons
firing functions. These panels fire ammunition based weapons: rockets,
missiles, mines, and the like.
The primary weapon for your first ship is a straight-firing energy
cannon, with a firing rate of about 3 shots a second. It's pretty
distinctive.

As for switching ships, you start out with one ship, the Light
Fighter. It's fast, maneuverable, but relatively weak in both arms and
armor. You also start with a full complement of missiles and missile
plumes. These two weapons, unfortunately, sound identical, and you
really don't want to keep both equipped anyway, as they perform,
basically, the same function, firing a projectile, or a series of five
projectiles, which track to close-range targets.

In the store, there are three tabs, accessed with buttons across the
top. The first is the Items tab, and it contains all the ammunition
based weapons that you can buy. Technically, you already own whatever
weapons, you're just buying ammo for them.
If you follow the left side of the device's screen, you'll see the
list of weapons, starting with Homing Missile. On the right side and
in the middle are various data about the selected weapon. Swiping left
and right moves between these fields, and you'll see a button labeled
Equipped. If you select a different weapon, rockets, for example, you
will notice that the Equipped button changes to the Equip button, and
it's no longer dimmed out. press this to equip the selected weapon,
and you'll be prompted to choose one of your two currently equipped
systems to unequip to effect the transfer.

Changing ships works similarly. You select the Ships tab in the row
across the top and locate a different ship in the list down the left
side. Please remember that you start with only the Light Fighter.
Other ships cost money. Sometimes that money is in-game, sometimes'
it's real money. Explore your options and read about all the ships and
their prices and characteristics in the fields in the middle and on
the right.

Whether you're selecting weapons or ships, there's a buy button on the
bottom right, just below the Equip button. If this button is dimmed
out, you can't buy it, because you don't have the funds.

If you have the funds, select the buy button.

As for the tutorial mission, I sort of skipped it by mistake. Any
mission you choose, except I think the Tutorial, is multiplayer. Deep
Space mining is the first, under the missions selection screen. There
are others along the left side. You'll want to press the start button
in the bottom right part of the screen to begin and the OK button in
the bottom left, about an inch over, if you have any boosts.

Keep in mind that there are no unlabeled buttons in ErnCon that are
app-related. The only unlabeled buttons are advertisements, and these
should be treated with care.

If you have further questions, please ask.
