Re: [Audyssey] Speed of Sound Gaming needs betas!
Hey Folks, At this time we are still accepting beta requests, especially from mac (and older mac releases), and older windows releases, along with any linux users.

[Audyssey] request for opinions on an audiogames network
Hello all (especially audiogame developers), I was considering writing an audiogame server for speed of sound gaming games, so that people playing our games could view scoreboards from within the game, chat to people playing the game they're playing (or other games), and other features as needed. My question to everyone is: Is this something people would want? That to audiogames players, and to developers. A similar question: Is this something you would use? If I were to make this public outside of my own games I would give a library and header files (most likely for c and/or c++, maybe with others eventually as I figured out how to make them big_smile ) and then have you register a company/admin account on my server so you could add games, add other info, etc. It would hopefully be as simple as possible for the developer to add this to their games, for example: Add library/header files, build. Then at certain key points in the game, send something like: logon(username, ...), then receive_message(...), etc. Everything would be controled through the sending of messages. Many of these messages would be easily put together by simply calling something in c like: send_chat(username/*the username of the person*/, message, /*any other details, like send to other games, maybe a game key, game password, etc*/); So as you can see, all it would really require would be calling a specific function at a certain time to send a chat, ask for a list of people online, ask for scores, etc. Again: Would this be something an audiogamer would like to use? And would this be something a developer would implement in their games? Thanks all, I'm trying to get an idea of how popular this would be, as even if I use it for my own games, if not written with multiple companies in mind it would not be as easy to add more game companies to the network without a re-write. -Michael, Speed of Sound Gaming. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hello Ryan, As I'm sure you'll understand, we cannot give much information at this time. However, we can give you the following: As this is our first title, it will be more simplistic, but still not lacking in challenge and replayability. It will be an arcade title, with modes and difficulty settings similar to super egg hunt plus. And when I say similar, I don't mean similar as in game play, just in the way it has different modes of the same game play.

What I mean is that (as others have mentioned) at least knowing the type of game would be important in your search for appropriate testers. Yes? If you simply say we have a game to test, then you will probably receive way more responses than you would need to screen and many may not even be interested once you tell them what type of game it is. I am assuming here that you are saving that info for private correspondences. If you are wanting people to begin testing without knowing what type of game this is then you will likely also have many drop-outs once the game type is revealed. My point here is that you can save yourself and your potential testers much grief and aggravation if you release just a bit more info about what it is that people will be potentially testing. I myself may also be interested in testing this game, for example, however, if it turns out that the genre is not something in which I am interested, then you will have wasted your time and mine in the process.

Re: [Audyssey] Speed of Sound Gaming needs betas!
Hi John, Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you here, but I believe I gave the genre below. Anyway, it's an arcade title. I will release a little more information so people will know if they want to test the game. This game will be a game similar to temple run, where it basically goes on forever until you lose, except probably a little more simplistic at least at first. The story is that you are a bat, and need to fly through a cave, avoid obsticals, picking up extras (coins, powerups, etc). There will be a couple different modes, including ones where powerups are bad for you, more silly/crazy ones where your arrow keys change up, and depending on the difficulty you may not know which ones did without trial and error, etc. Any more info that you think I should provide just let me know, and I hope this gave you a better feel for the game. -Michael.

Re: [Audyssey] new member with a question
Welcome Dacia! I believe Thomas is working on adding content to the audyssey site, but I imagine alot of it is still under construction, as you are seeing. That being said, a great place to get a list of games is at audiogames.net. That has a list on the homepage that you can choose a game and go to see its details. There is also a forum (forum.audiogames.net) that will allow you to talk about the game on there, assuming you don't want to talk on the audyssey list.

Re: [Audyssey] testing
Hi Thomas, All I can think is that perhaps something got messed up in the domain or signing key or something, because looking back at the babble report for july, it says: Authentication-Results: mail.speedofsoundgaming.com; dkim=pass (1024-bit key; insecure key) header.i=@audyssey.org; dkim-adsp=none (insecure policy) But now it says permerror. And like I said, many email accounts will drop mail if the DKIM doesn't match, and some bounce back, which could be why people are being unsubscribed for bouncebacks.

Gone are the days of email services being only one to five MB in size, and anyone who has such a limited quota from their mail service is seriously getting ripped off.

Re: [Audyssey] MY complaints about L-works games
hi Thomas, While I agree with you in principle, I think there's a lot to be said for the fact that it seems many people don't get replacement keys for games that are computer based, or even keys for new purchases for months or more which was my experience. In fact I kept bugging him on twitter and he kept telling me that he was going to send the key... and it took quite a while for that to happen. Basically what I'm saying is that while it's good to be mindful of the dev's other commitments, it's also good for the devs themselves to be mindful that people are paying real money for these games.

Objective-C++ files, with the extension .mm, can more or less mix and match C++ and Objective-C code at will, provided that any Objective-C classes stay within the global namespace. It depends on exactly what you're doing, but since we used Objective-C++ extensively through the Draconis engine, I can definitely say that, in most cases, you don't need to go through the steps you're talking about.

Would you like the ability to order the game on CD? This would cost something like 10 dollars extra including worldwide shipping. 2. How much does the size of the game matter when it comes to the downloadable version? Is something like 300 MB too large? 3. In what format would you prefer to have the manual? Narrated inside the game, available in text format, or both? 4. If the game contained cheat codes and you had to beat it in order to unlock them, would you want the ability to buy them for something like 5 dollars without having to earn them? This applies to other unlockable content, as well. I do not have a set release date for the game yet, but it will be available in the not too distant future. The game that I am refering to is not Perilous Hearts, but is actually something even larger and, in my opinion, far superior. The state of Perilous Hearts is currently not 100% certain, but I am confident that you'll enjoy this game just as much and hopefully a whole lot more. I cannot give any definite information about the game at present, except that it is a mix between arcade and adventure with a boatload of action thrown on top. Thanks in advance for reading, and taking the time to respond to my questions!

Re: [Audyssey] Giving Away Free Games was Announcement About BSC Games
Hi Thomas, I totally agree here. As a hobbiest game developer I know exactly what you're talking about. And that is one of the prime reasons I have not created any audio games lately, that being the money aspect. I haven't been able to work as much as I would like during my college classes, etc, so I don't have the finances coming in for all the sounds and music.

Re: [Audyssey] Organizing teh Audyssey Database
Hi Thomas, I personally would go for the third approach, as if you really want to know what a specific developer has made you can probably just go to their website :P and at the same time many people won't care about windows or mac or iOS etc games so could just skip that heading. Hth, -Michael. -Original Message- From: Thomas Ward Sent: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 8:44 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] Organizing teh Audyssey Database Hello all, Today or tomorrow I want to begin working on the Audyssey games database, and I was wondering how you all think I should organize and arrange the games and developers. There are many ways to do this so I thought I would throw a few suggestions out here and gather your input. The first way I could organize the database is by developer. I could have a list of developers such as BSC Software, GMA Games, PCs Games, Blind Adrenaline, etc and below that heading all the games they have produced. Of course, the problem with that method is if you are looking for a certain type of game it is difficult to find or locate without going through and each and every game on the site. The second method is to organize games by type or genre. I could have various categories such as action, strategy, card games, puzzle games, etc. I think this would be a more acceptable method for organizing the games on the site as you could go directly to the section that was of interest and skip those sections that weren't of any interest. The third option is similar to the second accept instead of just being divided by genre they could also be divided up by platform such as Mac OS, Windows, Linux, and iOS. Under those headings would be subheadings such as action, strategy, card, puzzle, whatever. Any thoughts here?

As you mentioned so many times RPG elements such as stats and so forth are usually frowned upon in IF where solving a billion complicated puzzles is standard fair.

Re: [Audyssey] Pocket MUD Pro
Hi Kelly, Well, in my opinion it is the best mud client for iOS I've tried. It definitely won't be as easy to use as a desktop client, but that is pretty much standard for mud clients or desktop equivalent apps on the iPhone. If you have a bluetooth keyboard it should be a lot better, but definitely expect mudding to be slower. With a bluetooth keyboard it may just be possible to do slight easy xp or so on it, but I wouldn't risk it for anything big. It does, however, have most of the features of a desktop mud client, E.G. if you wanted to put in lots of time, you could make a soundpack for your favorite mud. Anyway, hope this helps. -Michael.

Also, I notice this when going through menus, it will interrupt the music for a split second when playing an example sound, for example in change reaction when indicating the end of that section of the tutorial with the sound, it sometimes cuts the music off for a little bit.

We felt it was more important to limit the chance of it being accidentally interrupted by the user, than to make it interruptible, since it isn't something you click through every time. The music, or other background audio, should not be interrupted at all by other sounds. In fact, this is the first we've heard of this…What are the specs of your Mac? Which version of the OS are you running? I suspect this may be a problem unique to your configuration, or there's a conflict with something else on your machine.

Re: [Audyssey] monkeyterm question
Hi, If you open up monkey term, then close the recent connections list if it appears with alt f4, press control+n. That will open a new xml. it should also open the connections dialogue in that xml, where the first field is the name, like alter aeon or aardwolf or pretty much anything you want the title of the window to be, next is the host name, then the port. Press enter, and it should connect. You may need to type sdisconnect if it automatically connects to alter aeon -- can't remember if it does, but if it does just do that then press f4 then enter to open and close the connection dialogue. Make sure you save the xml, which it should prompt you to do when closing an unsaved new xml, but just to make sure you don't have to recreate it every time :D.

Re: [Audyssey] Alter Aeon help
Hi, Note: SPOILERS below, if you don't want the quest to be done for you, DO NOT READ! 5 4 3 2 1 Ok, so you have to get to the bottom level, behind the door you might have found that doesn't open .You have to find a wand in the northeast corner of the cave, which is on one of the slaver demons. Then you use it on an archway on that top level. That will transport you to the place behind the door. Once you do that, you have to go through the house, killing everything on the way if possible, and then go down to the next level. Note that there will be a place where a priestess is chanting or something, you'll have to kill her, move an altar or some such, go behind it and get some coins, as you'll need them later on. Then you'll wander around a bit, then find a stairway guarded by two fiery demons. Go down it, and continue going down . Eventually you'll get to a small graveyard, but that isn't the place you need yet. You unlock a door in the graveyard with a key I think you got in the place behind the door, then go in. That will put you in a maze of tombstones. Basically you type touch tombstone, and the exits around you shift. You walk around keep touching tombstones when possible, and eventually you'll get to the end. You'll find a fairy man, and you give him a token to take you across. Then you'll be in the graveyard. From there you just follow the path around until you get to the end, where the grave keeper is. Kill him, and get what you're supposed to. Note that I have not given explicit instructions partly because I haven't done this quest in a while, and partly as to not spoil the entire quest too much. Also note that there are side quests and interesting things to do that I'm going to let you find out on your own, mainly for the same reasons. Hth, -Michael.

For example I can see a bit out of my left eye, and know the color black, along with other colors. My right eye, however, has no perception at all. It's like I don't even have an eye there.

Not saying that it is what it is, saying it possibly could be. Takin the heat analogy a bit further, if you were to touch the stove, you'd probably burn your hand. Your hand wouldn't recognize it as a feeling, no, but the burn still hapened... and probably would leave a mark which would hurt on any other person's hand.

We will try to answer questions posted here to the best of our ability, but please keep in mind that we will not be going into great depth about unannounced future titles, as has always been our policy. It has been a long time coming, but the dragon has awakened at last. Pull up a chair, and we'll fill you in on what we've been doing. Draconis Entertainment has spent the last few years working on a next-generation game engine for audio gaming. We had several key goals in mind as we began working on this project. * We wanted to future-proof our games. A game engine that could easily be maintained and kept current in-line with modern operating systems, eliminating the problems of incompatible or out-of-date dependencies was essential. * We wanted cross-platform compatibility. We are Mac users ourselves, and only supporting Windows was no longer satisfactory. Our new game engine will work on Mac OS X, Windows, and iOS devices. * We wanted a game engine so flexible that it would support any kind of game-style we chose to throw at it, and to build all future releases on top of the same core. * We wanted to bring our prices down. If the game engine really was as capable as we designed it to be, this would mean more rapid development once the core of the engine was complete. The enormity of this undertaking cannot be understated. The game engine will be continually enhanced and expanded as we release more and more titles. You will see our games grow in size and complexity with each release as we push the limits of what the engine is capable of. To put this into perspective, the game engine itself, not counting any game specific code, currently spans over 130,000 lines of code. The game engine has been under active testing by an incredible group of beta testers for the last two years, to whom we are enormously grateful. We could not have done this without them. Thank you all! Looking ahead.. Our plan going forward is to begin releasing both new titles as well as expanded versions of old ones that have been rewritten from the ground up for the next-generation Draconis game engine.. As our focus has been on perfecting the engine, the first couple of titles will be new versions of some of our classic games with tons of new features, new audio, new modes of play, and so on. All-new titles will be coming very soon thereafter, with more classic titles staggered between new releases. In general, we expect desktop titles to be released first for Mac OS X, followed soon after by Windows versions. Mobile games for iOS are also in development, as well as special mobile versions of games that have been traditionally meant for desktops. Our desktop game development has been broken into two distinct fazes. Initial game design and development is now being done on Mac OS X with the primary coders and a team of beta testers, while a separate coder and set of Windows testers will work on the Windows release as the game's initial design and development wraps up. It is with great excitement, that we are pleased to announce the immediate availability of our first Mac OS X title, which is expected to be available for Windows in the first quarter of 2013 as well.

Re: [Audyssey] Problem with VIP Mud

Re: [Audyssey] draconis games and replacement keys
I think the point that some people are trying to make is that since the keys are not computer based, you could use them on mac or pc, assuming that they had the same game for both. At least that's my assumption. I doubt that draconis would make a mac version of a certain game already on windows then make it not work with the same key, so I guess you could buy whenever you wanted and be safe. -Michael. -Original Message- From: william lomas Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2012 11:57 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] draconis games and replacement keys has it gone live? and as say don't want to purchase anything yet even as replacement in case newer version and or cross platform is out but thought games out months ago so all talk and no action as usual so i not spending money on keys as of yet as we have no difinitive answer as to how to proceed meer speculation On 1 Sep 2012, at 17:28, Bryan Peterson bpeterson2...@cableone.net wrote: That's the point.

Re: [Audyssey] Alteraeon frustration! cannot escape
Hi, The advantage of it over standard flee is that you can pick a direction to go in, or type retreat by itself and go back the way you came, which presumably might be devoid of mobs. Whereas with run, you flee in a random direction, which could be into a trap room, into a boss mob, etc. Also, if you get into a noflee room for example the alchemist in ralnoth's room, you can often retreat and get out where flee fails. If you're in a nomagic room you can use retreat instead of word also. The group part of retreat is really only half the advantage. Also unless I'm mistaken retreat has a higher chance of succeeding (at high skill levels) than flee does. Many players (if not almost all) that are higher level use retreat exclusively over flee because of the flexibility it gives you. Hth, -Michael. -Original Message- From: dark Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2012 8:01 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Alteraeon frustration! cannot escape Well that is true, though i'm still a little confused as to the bennifit of the skill over standard running, sinse the description in help implies that it's only really useable in a group.

Re: [Audyssey] Alter Aeon Blind Support Web Pages
Hi, Braille plus is a portable note taker for blind individuals, which I believe is based on linux. Therefore, it has a console with telnet on it, which works just like a linux telnet program would. By iOS, yes the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch are under that umbrella. There are several mud clients for that platform, most of which work with voice over. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are pocket mud pro, mud master, The Mud Connector game client, and possibly a few more I forgot.

The user name part of the email (the part before the at sign) wil be the same, you simply send them to speedofsoundgaming.com instead of mtgames.org. For example, if you were to send to supp...@mtgames.org for support. now you will send to supp...@speedofsoundgaming.com. As of now the domains are all set to go and are working correctly. Note that if you go to mtgames.org, you will be automatically redirected to speedofsoundgaming.com as to reduce confusions.

I believe the only real option I have for this is to change that main window so that it tells the reader what to read based on its own internal cursors. While I know this is possible, it's one more of many, many things in my todo list, and I suspect that it's a pretty big project to do it well. One final reason for hesitation is that the official client officially does not support triggers - the client is fully capable of using triggers, however I keep them disabled intentionally to prevent botting. Given how important triggers are to most blind players, I would think this would be a blocking factor. Are there pretty much no accessible mac mudding clients?

Re: [Audyssey] My issue with muds, discuss
Hi, As for your question about if there could be a way to pause output from the game temporarily, that would kind of defeat the point of real time. If you were about to be attacked by a very powerful monster, for example, you could simply pause the game and call your friends on the phone or skype or whatever to have them come help you then unpause when they got there. Make sense? Also, why is there a question mark after every line of your post, not sure if it's on my end or yours. Thanks, -Michael. -Original Message- From: dark Sent: Thursday, May 31, 2012 8:06 PM To: Gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] My issue with muds, discuss Recently, I was trying the game projectbob, sinse someone on audiogames.net recommended it as needing a db entry. it has lots of great systems or mechanics, but I realized i was having distinct and real trouble getting into the game. I found myself asking why, why I'd not really taken the opportunity sinse vipmud was released to go and play many muds, when there are so many good games available, why indeed I've put down alteraeon slightly recently and don't find myself picking it up, even though I'm such a huge fan of textual rpgs, avidly wait for new updates of eamon deluxe, love games like kerkerkruip and treasure of a slavers kingdom, not to mention gamebooks and other brouser games, and get extremely excited and involved with the descriptions, the writing and the atmosphere of where I'm exploring. ? Then it hit me. the problem is time! ? in a turn based game there is plenty of time to read each description. This doesn't just go for rooms and areas, but for monsters and attacks as well. In every mud I've played however, you just don't get time! to fully ead and appreciate text, and in fact usually have to skip past descriptions of enemies or their lairs. ? to explain, where as in a text game, if I fought my way to the top of the tower of some evil wizard, opened the final door, I'd slowly read the description of the evil wizard and his room to myself, and be thinking oh hell! what's he going to do now ? In a mud however, once I open the door, I don't get time! to read the description, sinse I'll quickly be typing attack, despell magic, and needing to skip most of the text at super speed. ? If on the wizard's turn I read the wizard raises one hand towards you, and a bolt of absolutely black lightning streams out, filling the room with a cent of burning, wrotten flehsh ? whatever it is going to do to my character, even if in fact my character is amazingly hard and it does little, i'll still think oh no, what's this going to do, this is bad! be invested in the story. ? In a mud however, I need sapi set really fast, and usually the most I can read is the wizard casts lightning before I'm having to start typing like a demon to counter, dodge, bash or whatever. ? It rather reminds me of a wonderful moment in my weekly mutants and masterminds game that we had recently, when we were fighting an evil sorceress under the waters of a lake. our gm took great pleasure in saying you see her raising her hands, and see her lips moving as though she's casting a spell. For some time, nothing seems to happen, then suddenly you hear thunder above you and a bolt of lightning strikes the lake! ? there was this lovely chorus of oh hell! which our gm very much seemed to enjoy, as we all put two and two, or in this case water and lightning, together, and our gm left us contemplating for a couple of seconds before asking us to roll our toughness against the damage of the attack. ? Of course, this isn't to say the real time fights in mud games aren't good fun. it is rather satisfying sometimes to think on my feet, to realize my targit has a weapon and I can use disarm, or cast feeble mind at a targit who's using magic. ? The lack of ability to quickly read atmospheric text however in muds does seem at least for me a rather major drawback, especially when it comes to really huge encounters with bosses, or with unusual types of monsters. ? I know with Dentin we've discussed a preview corpse command, so that you can get the living description of an enemy from their dead corpse after you have slane them, which would partly at least compensate for the problem, but I am now wondering if a more general solution could be planned. ? Is there a way to pause the output from a mud? ie, stop all timers so that you just have time to read the dam text and can have a couple of seconds contemplation before a hectic fight? if so, this would be a great thing to have in vipmud. ? Am I perhaps missing something here that everyone else does to read atmospheric text in games? ? Any thoughts? ? I'd especially appreciate input from Dentin, and anyone else who has written a mud on this issue, as well as experienced mud players, sinse I do realize this is what is slightly spoiling muds for me, despite how

Being totally blind, my first thought when I hear the words screen curtain, I think just that, a curtain falling over the screen, obscuring everything. No one ever told me in the short time I had an IPhone that that was not the case, nor did I find it necessary to ask, since I didn't think it was that important.

I know most people do have IPhones these days anyway, so I suppose it's not a complete abandonment. As far as putting graphics in the interface goes, I don't think that would be too much to ask of him. However, this argument about whether or not sighted people freak out at a blank screen seems silly to me. If a blind person chooses to turn the screen off, and a sighted friend picks it up, won't they be looking at a black screen? You don't see them freaking out about that. Of course, one would hope that if it was a friend or family member who picked up the device, they would know and understand why.

As someone who was sighted for many years I know I wouldn't have been interested in a game that didn't even have some basic graphics for game play. That's because for a sighted person their entire way of life is centered around visual feedback, and telling them they have to do this or that by sound alone is going to be a major turn off. They neither have the practice or skill to do that, because its outside their experience. Therefore some minimal graphics and animation would be required to interest them in an audio game. As far as why Apple is so restrictive its a bit of a long story. It has to do with the fact that Apple was the first to add a graphical user interface to Mac OS, and Apple became a recognized leader when it came to graphics and visual effects. Microsoft tried to catch up in the mid 90's with Windows 95, which was an obvious attempt to capture some of Apple's glory, but to this day Apple has a reputation for being the better OS for graphics designers, the film industry, and a leader in graphical user interfaces in general. Its for that reason we see both Windows and Linux heading towards a more Apple look and feel. Ubuntu has the new Unity desktop and Windows 8 has the Metro screen which are obvious attempts to copy Apple's own graphical user interface and support more touch screen devices. Its for this reason Apple guards its position as a leader in the graphical user interface field, and require that anyone who develops for their OS meet certain standards for seamless integration between apps and OS. For instance, if you have a program launcher with just text and no flashy graphical icon forget it pal Apple will reject your app because they expect program launchers to have a certain look and feel regardless if you can see it or not. If they let Liam or anyone else do what they want the over all visual experience, the user interface, will suffer because they chose not to follow Apple's design specifications. Windows on the other

In single player you are just testing the maps so there is nothing to stop zombies from entering the safe zone. This is not a bug, it's just the nature of testing a map and setting it to randomly place zombies around the map. If you are considering the single player practice mode as anything besides practice, then you're looking at it the wrong way. The game itself is multiplayer only. If you actually are reporting that in multiplayer zombies are still attacking you in the safe zone then please let me know. nine times out of ten when I am playing in offline mode the zombies enter the safe zone and I cannot possibly play the game when that happens, because it won't let me attack anything in the safe zone.

Re: [Audyssey] LWorks
Hi, This kind of defeats the point of a touch screen. The point of a touch screen is to not need buttons, and apple's done, in my opinion, an amazing job of making it accessible. If you wanted them to have buttons just because blind people can't, if only just slightly, use a touch screen as well as the sighted, then they'd have to make a totally separate model just for blind people, which would get us back to square one with separate devices.

Trust it to say, I hate them with a passion and think that adding voiceover to a touch screen device is just another corrupt twisted pro sighted business way of conning the law and getting away with discrimination. The fact that so many VI people have found a way to conquer that is rather impressive to me, and if that's the case, then so be it. But I think it's rather unnecessary to have to do that when the business itself should make more of an effort. Just because they don't know we exist, or choose to believe we don't exist, doesn't make us go away. And if companies continue to design things in their own eye happy way, in another twenty or thirty years it's probably unlikely we'd be able to use anything in the mainstream market and we'll be right back to square one with specially designed excessively expensive products and the like. That's only my opinion, I know tons of you won't agree, but this debate goes slightly away from games so I don't want this to turn into a full blown argument as to which is the best operating system to work with.

Hi, If you wanted to, you could bundle the vb runtime libraries, along with perhaps the direct x libraries for vb6 with your game, kind of like Kitchensinc games and (I think?) GMA Games does.

I wish Claudio would have thought of problems like this before releasing Spaceship as that is a pretty common issue. A lot of blind gamers have laptops, netbooks, etc and assuming the target system has a full sized keyboard is a big mistake. Anyway, I haven't voted yet because I am trying to keep an open mind about the game, see if I can get into it, and hope Claudio releases a patch to fix some of these issues like the page up or page down keys.

Re: [Audyssey] Game Help, Please
Hi, This is just a hunch, but does your friend use jaws? if so, you'll need to have them go into the jaws setting center (or configuration manager if in an earlier version of jaws) for the game and put jaws to sleep.

I had him install winkit from Kitchens Inc games along with all of the games, because he wanted all of them installed, and he installed the Shades Of Doom demo and he is still experiencing the same problem. When he opens Kitchens Inc Games, he can click on a game but he cannot click on any of the options inside of the game such as start game, change volume, change voice, etc. He can't click on exit to exit the game, he cannot hit escape to exit the game and he cannot hit alt f4 to close it either. He has to reboot his system to get it to go away. And the same thing on River Raiders, he cannot click on any menu options. I am so lost as to what to tell him. It is just crazy. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] a possible game from me in the future
I would probably play it if it was a 2d game, although I agree with you we've got quite a few side scrollers. Take care, -Michael, MTGames. -Original Message- From: Kevin Andrews Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 5:42 PM To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] a possible game from me in the future Hello all list members, I've been considering writing a game in the future. I've done a few small and rather trivial projects with myself and a friend, but nothing too significant. I'm wondering, from the VI gaming community, what your thoughts are on a game idea. I've thrown some ideas around in my head. Basically you're in a city environment... New York or Chicago for the sake of practicality. You've got to get past stuff, perhaps gang members, careless drivers or maybe even bikers, etc. You've got to watch out for the cops, etc. You have weapons, for example a pistol, your fists, and a switchblade you can steal from someone. I'm thinking something along the lines of Grand Theft Auto, so it would have some violence and maybe that type of action. There would be various levels, and the end you have to deal with a boss-type situation. The premise of the game might be you have to give the boss money or do a kill. You're involved with a gang and therefore have to do a deed for this guy. Obviously one can tell just by reading this that this would require a lot of time and effort, and a bit of spending on my part for sounds, music, etc. Does this sound remotely interesting to anyone? I've considered a side-scroller, but in my opinion we've got an overabundance of side-scrolling games, so perhaps a 2d environment would be more suitable. Thoughts? This is no way in any stage of development right now, as I've got other things I'm preoccupied with, but I may consider this if the interest is sufficient. Thanks and take care all. -- Kevin J.

Re: [Audyssey] The Future of the USA Games Blog
Hi Thomas, I don't know what kind of wordpress you are using, but standard wordpress installations have a heading for the page title, and for every post on the front page along with the post title on the single post pages. At least that's how the 4 or 5 wordpress blogs I've configured have had it.

All makes sense. Like I said to Mike I am familiar with the difficulties of navigating blogs because some tend to have lots of clutter and there is no easy way to just skip passed it like a normal web page. Even if it is a straight journal/news system as I have I can't press h and shift+h to jump between headers and topics which slows me down. Of course, the most current posts usually appear at the top of the page anyway which is fine if we just want the latest scoop on a product or ongoing project. By going back to html I can add all those tags for headers, tables, lists, etc which are easy to navigate and pretty much every screen reader has some way to jump back and forth between those page elements. So I do believe that is the universally accessible method for posting news blurbs and perhaps full articles on some subject or other. That said, an idea I've had is perhaps a Wiki like Mediawiki. With a wiki I wouldn't have to code everything in html, and I could get buy with a minimum amount of fuss. Plus I can still add links, headers, etc to the wiki just by tagging that specific text. Cheers! On 3/21/2012 4:01 AM, dark wrote: Hi Tom. I don't think it's anything to do with the actual blog format as such. The simple idea of jernal style long news posts in sequence is absolutely fine, and there are a number of sites who's blogs I regularly check simply because I'm interested in what the person in question has to say. My issue however and I believe other peoples, is, is firstly one of page clutter and navigation when you've got a hole bunch of catagory links, links to wordpress and goodness knows what. This is just a general computer thing i think, sinse where as for sighted users putting too much block text in one place is bad, and lots of ways to reorganize information is good, for vi users the more actual content ie, comments and posts in the one place that can be skipped or read through with a screen reader the better. Just as one example, by default forums will display 20 posts per page, sinse for a sighted user having too much text there is inconvenient and they'd rather click next page links. almost the first thing I do upon finding a new forum however is set the posts per page limit to maximum so that I don't have to read several then click next page as often, - in Punbb systems such as audiogames.net has this is 75 and could be more. The same goes with displaying links in ss or anything else really, and just is a consequence of methods of reading. Of course, blogs can vary a lot in this. Most of the ones I check frequently are very clean and don't clutter up the page with catagory links and others too much, and the Usa games one certainly isn't guilty of that. secondly however, commenting on blogs is simply an ease factor. after all it's far easier just to write a mail than go through, check a load of boxes, write a name, and maybe do a capture as people have said. if a blog was the only! thing usa games had, then people probably would use the comments, but given that there are innumerable less tortuous ways to contact you and discuss what is posted in the blog there isn't too much need for the more inconvenient system.

Re: [Audyssey] side scrolling robot game concept clarification... what are your thoughts
Hi Kevin and Ben, I would quite agree with the below post. As for the audio, I would say you can get quite high quality audio from sounddogs.com. The reason I mostly use them is because they have a little known discount you can get. Also if you only add sounds that you found by searching for your keywords here _sdc you get a much higher discount. The way you get this discount is by having 10 or more items in your cart, then email them or call them to ask for a discount on a custome virtual cd or something like that. It may take a few tries to get them to understand you're not trying to get custome produced sounds, but once you do they'll charge your card or send you a paypal invoice and you'll get your discount. Also I've noticed that the more amount of sounds/the higher the price of your total cart, the bigger the discount. Good luck! -Michael, MTGames. -Original Message- From: Kevin Andrews Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 4:34 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] side scrolling robot game concept clarification... what are your thoughts Hi Ben, This is what I have to say for your developer. I think this game has a lot of potential. I think that, from what you have told us, the logistics are down. I'd say go ahead with it. A few pointers though: Make sure you use high-quality audio. This includes sounds and vocals. Nothing detracts from the gameplay of an audio game quicker than crappy or poorly produced audio. Depending on what you require and the quantity of those requirements, sounds can get fairly expensive but like I said it all depends on what you're looking for and what you need. Once you've finished coding, get a good beta team. Test, test, test, test! Try to find as many bugs as you can before you release. Even though you might not be able to find every single bug, users will respect you if they know you took the time to continuously test for problems rather than just compile and hope for the best.

You can have as many powe cells as you want collected on your way, but you can only plug a max of 4 in - because you can't lose all your power cells unless you get hit through all 5. Take the scenario. You have half a cell left, you plug 4 in, you press the I key (if you guys ever get to play it you'll see why that key is used), you'll have 4 and a half. And you can't have half power cells. You'll have your fists, left/right, guns (2 of those) and your cannons (which need to be recharged after a number of shots), and your guns aren't limitless either - they must be reloaded.

If the corpse rots away, the items will be gone as well. However, if you had two corpses, try get all 2.corpse, 3.corpse, etc to do the second corpse, third corpse, etc. so either the corpse rotted because you didn't get it in time (highly unlikely I believe as you had just been fighting one zombie, which doesn't take that long), or you had to get it from the second corpse, not the first, in which case you'd have to look in 2.corpse, etc. Hth, -Michael. -Original Message- From: Kelly Sapergia Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2012 5:25 PM To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] Alter Aeon and Disappearing Items Hi, I'm trying to complete a quest in Alter Aeon.

Re: [Audyssey] pbgames is dead at last
Hi, I do believe that these games were actually written in java script. Cheers, -Michael. -Original Message- From: Tom Randall Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2012 6:10 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] pbgames is dead at last If these games were originally written in java I wonder how hard it would be to port them over to the Android platform since Android programs are essentially Java. It would be well beyond my ability I am sure but perhaps somebody who knows more than I do could do it. Just a thought. Game on. Tom On Jan 3, 2012, at 3:05 PM, shaun everiss wrote: Hi all. Well today I tried to play pbgames the old java ones and they don't load properly, used to work, but now they don't, a few on the forum say the same thing. So finally after all the updates and such, java games have finally stopped working. At least the old ms java files. maybe these should go to bgt. I like all the games, showdown, tj and dark destroyer, even though they were the first. I'd like them again, but yeah I guess the games made by pb are really abandoned now. even ms java is different now. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] The World of Areon: The First Encounter
Hi all, I’ve been working on an idea for an audio game for a while now, and I figured to start things off I needed to get some cash. Therefore I found what they like to call a funding platform for creative projects (kickstarter by name) and signed up there. One of the big things I need the cash for is developer licenses for certain game creation toolkits, which cost a lot. The reason I’m planning to go with these toolkits is that they support android, the iPhone, linux, windows, and mac all in one. That way I don’t have to put so much effort into porting code from platform to platform. Needless to say this will be a truly cross-platform game that I will hopefully be working on in the near future. So without preamble, a bit about the game: The idea of the game is that you have to save your family while avoiding dangerous enemies and traps. However, once you find your family there will be a bit of a twist, where you have to get your family back home safely. This would provide a bit of a challenge, as you have to keep your family alive, but possibly have them fight with you as well. Anyway, I plan to introduce both side scroller and full 3d levels into this game. Not to mention that if possible I would like to make some 3d audio in the game as well (although of course you will be able to use simple stereo headphones to play if you don’t have the 3d setup). The reason I wrote this seemingly long winded letter is to ask for support. As I mentioned, I started a project on kickstarter, which I will now tell a bit more about. For those who don’t know, kickstarter is a platform where people pledge money to a developer/maker/whoever, and they provide rewards, whether it be a free copy of the game, a limited addition of a t-shirt, or whatever. If anyone has the ability I would urge you to go provide whatever you can to help the development of this game. The link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/811515192/the-world-of-areon-the-first-encounter?ref=email And you don’t have to worry either, as this entire amount of money will be going toward the development of this (I believe) truly revolutionary audio game. Thank you all kindly. -Michael, MTGames. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
