[Audyssey] PacMan Talks voice
Hi Phil, this is Sky here. I have a question about pacman talks, in particular one of the ghost, blinky. In going through the phrases of blinky, I noticing a fraze where he says out, of, in a burp voice. How did you make the voice belch the words, out of? Or whatever it sounds like? The burping affect? and what voice of the att natural voice did you use for blinky? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Question About Window-Eyes and Audio Games
Hi Kelly, To create a set file in Window-Eyes, do the following 1. press control backslash to enter the Window-Eyes control panel 2. press a to select the association option in the treview 3. press right arrow to open the association treview 4. you will now have two options. You will have current association, and if you press down arrow again, you will have program information. Current association allows you to main set files, and program information allows you to view information about associated set files for a specific program. Anyway, once you are in the assoaciation option and hit right arrow, press down arrow to go to current association 5. press tab until you here set file Edit box. From there, you can type in the name of the set file. Lets say you wanted to type in jim kitchens game so that the speech will go to sleep. You could type in something like life.set. Note: .set is the extention that Window-Eyes 7.5 or later uses. Previous versions of Window-Eyes had an extention of .000. After typing in the name of the set file, then, you want to tab again. You will now be in a comdo box of a few items. These items let you assoaciate the set files to by title, which means a title of an application. class, which means a classname of an application, for example, shell32. and none, which means don't assoaciate anything. You want to select the by title of an application, as that's where your changes will be when you make changes to that applications set file. After selecting one of the two options, then tab again. This time, you will have an extra button besides the two buttons that are already on the screen. The new button is called save and assoaciate. What this does is it will save your set file, but also save your window-eyes settings if you happen to make any changes. I hope this helps, Sky. Ps. In the general option, under core function, the voice on and off, is not a toggle for application and global, but just a radio button that you can turn on and off but it does accomplishes the same thing as long as you have a set file assoaciated for an application. -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Kelly Sapergia Sent: Saturday, May 17, 2014 10:44 AM To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Question About Window-Eyes and Audio Games Hi, Thanks for all the responses about my Window-Eyes query. I know it's been a couple weeks since I sent the message, but I'm just getting around to trying the suggestions now. Sky had said to go to the General item in the Window-Eyes Control Panel, then once it's opened to move down to Voice. I have the Advanced options checked, and so far don't see anything about a Voice option, except under Devices. There was an option to turn off the voice in the General/Core Functions area, but nothing to make it program-specific. Also, I don't know anything about how set files are created. When I opened Jim Kitchen's menu program and went into the Control panel, I saw something like Window-Eyes Active: default.set, Association none. How do I create a new set file or association for the menu program? Thanks.

That was challenging enough when I could see and I imagine that would add an especially cool element of challenge to Q9 as you would have to estimate how long to jump from log to log rather than falling in the water and getting munched by a crocodile. If the logs turned in the water that would make it even harder because a gamer couldn't stand there fore too long or the log would turn over sending poor little Q9 into the river to become lunch for a croc.

Hi Kelly, yes there is a way to put window-eyes in sleep mode. What you have to do is press control backslash, then press g for general, then down arrow to voice, then tab until you hear voice toggle scope program or global. You want to set the scope to program. Then, shift tab, then go to voice, then use the arrow keys to go to off, and you should be good to go. Also don't forget to save the settings for the games by pressing control s.

Hi Bryan, I just managed to get your monkey business walkthrough. In it you menshened the wild west level was missing. Its in the game, but there is a bug which prevents it from loading. To fix this, if on Windows 7, go to your c drive, then users, then your username then appdata then roning, then Monkey business, then copy the oldwest.map file into your monkey business folder in the program files folder. If your not on windows 7, you would need to go to documents and settings, then your user name, then follow the steps from there. I hope this helps.

Hi Dark, Yeah, I personally don't get what is wrong with Sapi either. It is a quick and easy API, works fairly well for what it does, and there are plenty of voices available for it. However, as a guess I suppose the voices are precisely the issue people have with it. A lot of Jaws users, for example, are use to Eloquence. Since Eloquence is not a Sapi voice they can't just use that with a game without the developer going through the Jaws API to use the screen reader directly rather than accessing Eloquence via Sapi. For that reason I guess some people want Jaws support so they could use Eloquence and the various Vocalizer voices which aren't available via Sapi. Of course, there is probably a cost issue here as well. Anyone who has a fairly up to date version of Jaws has a number of TTS engines and voices from Eloquence and several Vocalizer voices. They probably don't want to turn around and buy more voices from Cereproc, Cepstral, Nextup, etc given the fact that Jaws already offers them a lot of free voices.

Also xp is going to stop being supported in 2014, so whether users say xp or not is the best are going to have to eventually upgrade. -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2013 6:05 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] mac versus windows sales plus iOS question Hi Dark, Just a correction here. Windows 7 was released in 2010 not 2007. Windows Vista came out in January 2007. I wanted to point that out as you seem to be confusing the two here. However, I do take your point. The reason XP is still widely supported by websites, some third-party programs, and so forth is that it still holds a significant portion of the Windows PC market. Windows, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8,and Windows 8.1 has not been as successful as Microsoft had planned, and as a result many software developers know cutting XP off at this point is equivalent to cutting their own throats. I'll give you a simple example of that in practice. One of the things I have been looking at is ways I can improve my game engine so that Raceway and MOTA will run better on new Windows machines. The problem is there are a lot of blind users that feel as you do that XP is the best there ever was, the best there is, and the best that will ever be and will not upgrade for any reason. So despite any advantages I could add to my games by targeting a newer version of Windows I would not be able to make as large a profit off my games if I exclude half my customer base. As a developer I have to support whatever a large portion of my potential customers are using. Of course, mainstream companies are less handstrung because they are not selling to a minority market. At some point the number of mainstream users running Windows 7, Windows 8, or 8.1 will out number XP and it won't hurt them to drop XP support. Probably they will begin this migration sometime next year after Microsoft drops support for XP the way they did when Microsoft dropped support for 98 and Millennium. Of course, one problem facing mainstream and accessible technology markets is there are far more users using XP now, than there were 98 users in 2006 when Microsoft dropped Windows 9x support. So third-party support may linger a couple more years until the mainstream market catches up to current Windows technology. The only way I can see personally to deal with the situation is attempt to support both for as long as necessary. What I mean by that with games like MOTA and Raceway they are already XP compatible because they were designed that way from the beginning, and there is no need to cut XP support off at the knees just because something newer came along. I can however release an updated version of both that uses some newer APIs like XAudio2 or have 64-bit builds for newer 64-bit machines. That helps target people running new machines while not removing support for XP in the process. that's the only way I can see being fair to both groups of users at this point. In a couple of years I can consider dropping support for XP in newer games and hopefully people will have made the switch by then. Cheers! On 12/18/13, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi tom. I do appreciate that in theory, things will stop running on xp, and I can't run new versions, heck I'm still running ie8. The problem is that all the compatibility stuff hasn't yet made any practical difference. I've not found any websites, services, applications or things I want to use that require a better machine than I have. Fundamentally if there was some really good new feature of the updated windows media player, some websites or net games I wanted to play or something else in updates that I couldn't do with xp, I would indeed upgrade the system and get used to it. Regarding security and hardware, well 64 bit actually is a bad thing for me since it ruins compatibility with dos programs, and once again nothing requires it. I can accept that the hardware might be more advanced, but that is of no bennifit to me personally if there is nothing I wish to do that requires it. of course, this situation will not go on forever. I fully expect in several years there will be some awsome new features of new os that I will want to play with, some games or programs that I can't run on xp etc, indeed I'm quite amazed that this hasn't already come up. Back in 2007 when windows 7 was first produced I fully expected by around 2010 or 2011, there to be a lot of games, websites, new and inervative media playback and other peaces of software that I'd need better hardware or a new os for, making the hassle of learning the new interface, kicking out compatibility and mucking about with virtual machines and other things worth my time. I'm actually amazed this hasn't happened yet, and despite the aspersions of certain individuals this is indeed why I have been so careful to

Re: [Audyssey] Article on blind games and developers
Hello Thomas, yes, I have to agree with you. Roberts games was the first games that I played, and that's how I discovered the Window-Eyes screen reader, as it was one of the options in the game. -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2013 7:46 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Article on blind games and developers Hi Shaun, About the early growth of the industry it is true that the industry sprang up really fast once it really got going. At first it was just three or four developers like PCs Games, Kitchens Inc, GMA, and a couple of others writing games for Dos. Then around 1999 or 2000 the audio games industry really took off with the introduction of VB 6 and DirectX 8. I'd say in the space of about five years between 99 and 2004 the audio games industry was truly born. Jim Kitchen began porting all of his games to Windows. GMA also ported their games like Trek and Lone Wolf to Windows as well as came out with Shades of Doom and Tank Commander.BSC Games got started and put out a good solid half a dozen releases like Troopanum, Hunter, Pipe, Deekout, Bobby's Revenge, and so on. ESP, then owned by James North, came out with an impressive catalog of games including Dynaman, Alien Outback, Monkey Business, ESP Pinball Classic, ESP Whoopass, etc. Liam started L-Works and came out with Egg Hunt, Lockpick, Super Liam, and the Great Toy Robbery. Robert Betz, AKA Games for the Blind, was putting out a handful of card and board games. When you look at it objectively just in that period of time between 1999 and 2004 almost all of the major audio game releases were developed and released, and after that the industry has rapidly slowed and stopped since then. There are, of course, some good reasons for that slow down in development. First of all, many of the original founders like ESP, BSC Games, Robert Betz, Bavisoft, etc are no longer around. With ESP we are fortunate that James North turned his games over to Josh for development, but in the case of BSC, Robert Betz, and a few other developers we aren't that lucky. Even if they had turned the source code for their games over to someone else it would have to be rewritten which brings me to the second reason game development has slowed. Back in the late 90's and early 2000's a developer's options were simple. They could go the advanced route and develop their games in C++ the hard way using DirectX etc or they could use Visual Basic with DirectX which was a much easier choice. Jim Kitchen, GMA Games, ESP, BSC Games, Robert Betz, and so forth all took the VB 6 option which was completely reasonable for the time. However, in 2008 Microsoft officially scrapped VB 6, and unfortunately the majority of those developers had not switched to .NET or some other modern alternative so that their older games will have technical problems with newer versions of Windows. Fixing said issues requires a complete rewrite in VB .NET or something else compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8 which will take considerable time and effort to do. On top of the language issue we are now faced with the fact Windows is not the only operating system we need to concern ourselves with. A number of blind users have gone Mac, and that is a new market that hasn't been fully supported yet. There are iOS devices like iPhones and iPads which have exploded onto the market with hundreds of blind customers asking for more games. There is a minority market that includes myself running Linux which is reasonably accessible and is one more market ripe with potential customers. The bottom line I have spent more time on trying to figure out how to develop games for these new platforms than I have in writing games. Josh also has also put considerable time and effort into developing cross-platform tools for Mac, Windows, and iOS that took something like two or three years to get to a state where he could put out Silver Dollar and Change Reaction. The bottom line cross-platform development is hard, is a lot of work, and wasn't even an issue 10 to 15 years ago when the audio games market was made up exclusively of blind Windows users. In short, between the loss of developers and the change in technologies this loll in game development should not come as any big surprise. Its more complicated than it use to be, and we don't have as many people working on it as we use to. I'm hoping that BGT and other technologies like it will help with the problem, but the tool is only as good as the developer using it which is one more problem we have against us. For example, take the discussion a few days ago with John about math and such. If a new developer doesn't have the mathematical skills etc to competently develop a certain type of audio game BGT is not going to help with that. It will be up to us more skilled developers to train and teach the next generation of game developers so they know what they are

Re: [Audyssey] News from Blastbay Studios, and a call for opinions
Hello Philip. Here are my ansers to your questions 1. I would personally love to see a cd of the game after ordering it as well as download it. This could come in handy if your internet brakes down and it takes a few days to get it fixed. 2. The size of the download doesn't matter to me. 3. I would love to see a longer version of the manual in text format, but then I would like to see an audio tutorial that would explain the levels. This would be helpful if you were stuck, and needed some help on getting through the level. 4. I would personally only use cheats when absolutely nessisary. What I mean is that say if you were in a level and you were getting stuck in a level and you couldn't get through the game as fast, then you should have the option to buy the cheats if you needed to get through the impossible level. -Original Message- From: Philip Bennefall Sent: Monday, April 29, 2013 12:19 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] News from Blastbay Studios, and a call for opinions Hi all, I am slowly but surely nearing the finish line for my current game project, and before I release it I would like to ask the community at large some questions. Your input will greatly help me when deciding what to spend time on before release. Below are four questions that I would very much appreciate your answers to: 1. 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.

The more you get. Even though our forefathers did it the honest way. A corrupt government sees that as not needing help for anything. I see more people filling jobs the blind can do with ease. While the blind get told the job is not accessible for them to do. I had one real good job working in the tech field. They tried to make the software I used not accessible just so they could remove me and it worked. When jaws scripts won't work and more graphics come into play you lose every time. See they put those graphics there so people not knowing anything about computer systems can just click on the picture of the problem and get solution. That system cuts down on training. So most of those techs you call for help only know the pictures in front of them and not anything about computers or the system your having problems with.

No. Not even a callback explaining why. So what am I going to do, take all my excess money and sue for sexual discrimination? After all, nobody wants a man touching their bodies.

Re: [Audyssey] An Announcement Regarding BSC Games
Hello Thomas and list. This is a very shocking news to hear. this means that new users will not be able to play the bsc games if they want to. -Original Message- From: Thomas Ward Sent: Monday, April 22, 2013 4:23 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] An Announcement Regarding BSC Games Hello everyone, I just finished speaking to Justin, and I thought I owe it to you to tell you were we stand regarding the BSC games. First, there is the issue of licensing. I asked him if he would allow Audyssey.org to purchase the key generator for $75 and issue new keys to people as needed. Unfortunately, he will not allow us to issue new keys, and he has said in effect that if people want new keys for Troopanum, Hunter, Pipe, whatever that they should purchase the key generator he is selling right now for $75. No exceptions are being made for the licensing of his games. Second, there is the issue of licensing the sounds and music for the games. Justin will not sell those to a third-party developer, nor allow anyone access to the *.bsc pack files containing the sounds. So recreating the games with the original sounds and music is pretty much not possible. Finally, Justin wants to retain his intellectual copyrights for Troopanum, Hunter, Pipe, Deekout, Crazy Darts, etc so redistributing his games or rewriting them is not legal under copyright law. I just thought you should know where we all stand in terms of these games. In summary while I know some of you may feel angry, upset, and perhaps disappointed at this news do remember we still have many other great developers like Draconis, GMA, Jim Kitchen, Blind Adrenaline, to name a few. Hopefully they will continue to write great games, and if we want more games remember there are a number of tools like the BGT toolkit and the Dragon Flame Engine out there to help create new and interesting games. We could even create games as good as if not better than those we are losing with these tools. So try and be positive rather than look at this as a negative experience.

Re: [Audyssey] Sarah beta from 2005
Um, phil, just curious, why did you put the beta version of Sarah up on the website? -Original Message- From: Phil Vlasak Sent: Sunday, April 21, 2013 5:34 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] Sarah beta from 2005 Hi Folks Shalva put a link to my 2005 beta of Sarah in the Audio Games forum. So I am also including it here: It is on my web site at, http://www.pcsgames.net/Sarah10Beta.exe Sarah10Beta.exe 81,393 MB Be aware that it installs in the same folder as the current Sarah game so during installation, you must change the game location. It uses the same desktop quick link so you need to change that also. I would suggest going to your desktop and re-naming the current desktop quick link to something else, such as just Sarah or Sarah11. This was dated 2005 and uses the Crystal voice from A T and T which was replaced with Sarah Alawami's voice in the current version. I tried it yesterday to make sure it still workes, but didn't explore it too much, so I'm not sure what bugs are in it. I am still working on the update Sarah 1.2, and just got a new recording from Sarah Alawami that I am adding to the game that will make the Hogwarts grounds level sound like the rest of the game. In developing the new level, I used the crystal voice to say all the new objects and locations, but wanted Sarah to record them. I am adding a wand shop and the three broomsticks pub to the Hogsmeade town next to the sweet shop, which now has a door so you can exit to the rest of the town. Of course down the road is a haunted shack and the gate to the castle. This beta uses the GMA engine and was written in VB6 so needs the same libraries as the other PCS and GMA games on new computers.

I would be paying that money, money I don't really have to spend right now, on games that will never be upgraded and supported after I pay for them. That really wouldn't be a wise investment in the long term because there is no way to insure that when Microsoft moves to their yearly updates, which could begin as soon as next year, that these games will remain compatible with Windows versions newer than Windows 8. Its really a short term solution for a long term problem. It would be better if Justin would license the source to a third-party developer who could maintain the existing games, upgrade them if necessary, and even have the ability to port them to other platforms like Mac OS and iOS which are beginning to be new markets for audio game developers.

Re: [Audyssey] Announcement from Draconis Entertainment
Hello, you menshened a couple of years ago that you would be developing a game called silver dollar. is that game still coming? looking forward to that one for sure! -Original Message- From: Draconis Entertainment Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 5:06 AM To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] Announcement from Draconis Entertainment The following is an expanded version of the announcement we have posted to our website with additional details. 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. ChangeReaction, Draconis Entertainment's classic audio puzzle game for the blind and visually impaired comes to OS X with new audio, three entirely different modes of game play, a host of new features, and a cheaper price tag! Primarily intended for blind and visually impaired gamers, ChangeReaction is played via the keyboard and your ears. Navigate the game board with the arrow keys, dropping coins on the stacks to create chains of explosions and rack up higher and higher scores!

Use your fingers, ears, and wits to rack up the highest scores possible! * Choose from three distinctly different variations of game play. * All modes support three difficulty levels. * In ChangeReaction Classic, clear the board of all coins before time runs out! * In LooseChange, clearing the board just got a whole lot more difficult!

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

Hello Travis. That's great how you are putting games on the windows platform. speaking of the PacMate, I owned one for a while, and I had a lot of problems with it getting it to connect to the internet. a couple of months ago it has died, and so I will need to obtain either a new NoteTaker, or an iPhone.

[Audyssey] Bavisoft
that's it for wild west games f from Bavisoft. of course there is the Monkey business one, but that is limited in what you can do, and there's the ones from esp pinball. what we need is a new wild west audio game, that is either cheap, or free. -Original Message- From: Thomas Ward Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 8:29 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Multiple playable characters Hi, To me the ability to play or select different playable characters is dependent on the story more than anything else. For example, if we had a Star Trek FPS game you might want to play that game from the perspective of different characters. Each would have extra features or abilities that would be unique. In a TNG game Data might be faster and be able to exist in hazardous environments that would normally kill a human being without requiring a hazard suit. La Forge has his visor that allows him to see things that can't be seen with the human eye that could be handy in certain situations. Warf would have superior strength, stamina, and hand to hand combat skills that would make him a great fighter in combat situations. Playing a game from those different perspectives could be interesting. With Tomb Hunter the game is about a single character. No one else can fill her roll. In order to add more playable characters I'd have to invent them for that purpose, and then the plot has to be rewritten to tie them into the game. I'd personally not want to do that.

That was really my point. Winboard may be a very good Chess program, but if its only using Jaws then it is, sorry to say, not very accessible in comparison to alternative Chess programs. Jaws may still be the leading screen reader today, but Window-Eyes, state side, has caught up over the last few years and Jaws market share is constantly shrinking. Part of that is do to the fact Window-Eyes now has scripting support since 7.0, and of course NVDA has grabbed up a huge number of VI computer users who can't afford to pay out ragious prices for Jaws or Window-Eyes.I know I am personally looking at switching to NVDA for that exact reason myself. I simply can't afford to pay out for SMA plans right now. The thing is the screen reader market is changing. Developers who arent' staying on top of that are bound to get requests like support NVDA, support Window-Eyes, support Hal, whatever because Jaws is losing the market shar they once held. Its time that devs start realizing that and beginning to support alternative screen reader solutions as I don't see Jaws ever gaining back the market shares they once had.

Battlezone is one of the first and most major projects undertaken by one of our own forum members using the newly released Blastbay game toolkit One day while piecefully out shopping You are suddenly kidnapped by some mad individual and an endless hoard of very violent employees. Luckily, you have a gun, sword, some exploding booby traps and even an automatic machine gun stashed in your shopping bag (you can't be too careful), so you set about breaking out of the kidnapper's clutches, doing as much damage as possible. Thus begins a fast action, high speed side scrollin adventure taking you from the enemy's lab, past hoards of very angry minians, bottomless pits, stabbing blades, rolling boulders, fireballs, on rushing cars and of course some of this mysterious kidnappers maniacal henchmen as bosses. it's not all bad though, you'll be able to spend your points to replenish supplies, and if your quick enough be able to grab some of the falling items to help you through this parade of nastiness. The game uses ms Sapi to be self voicing and contains a variety of music and sound effects (including many taunts), different ambience for the various levels and non stop action, this is deffinately worth a try, particularly sinse developement is ongoing and new nasties and extra levels are being added continuously (at the current 13 stages, it's already a pretty monstrous game, especially considdering that it's completely free).

Battlezone is one of the first and most major projects undertaken by one of our own forum members using the newly released Blastbay game toolkit One day while piecefully out shopping You are suddenly kidnapped by some mad individual and an endless hoard of very violent employees. Luckily, you have a gun, sword, some exploding booby traps and even an automatic machine gun stashed in your shopping bag (you can't be too careful), so you set about breaking out of the kidnapper's clutches, doing as much damage as possible. Thus begins a fast action, high speed side scrollin adventure taking you from the enemy's lab, past hoards of very angry minians, bottomless pits, stabbing blades, rolling boulders, fireballs, on rushing cars and of course some of this mysterious kidnappers maniacal henchmen as bosses. it's not all bad though, you'll be able to spend your points to replenish supplies, and if your quick enough be able to grab some of the falling items to help you through this parade of nastiness. The game uses ms Sapi to be self voicing and contains a variety of music and sound effects (including many taunts), different ambience for the various levels and non stop action, this is deffinately worth a try, particularly sinse developement is ongoing and new nasties and extra levels are being added continuously (at the current 13 stages, it's already a pretty monstrous game, especially considdering that it's completely free). Just remember that because battlezone was created with the free version of bgt, you'll need that installed on your machine in order to run the game. Hope that helps. best regards, jack --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] tarzan junior7.0
Jack, may I ask you to please stop sending messages about Beta versions of the game? The link is not valid and the Tarzan Junior game is already released so there is no point. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Jack F Sent: Monday, July 11, 2011 1:00 PM To: gamers Subject: [Audyssey] tarzan junior7.0 Hi all, I posted this yesterday but I am going to try it again and see if someone replies. Hi all! Okay, version 7.0 is now available for download! It is occationally 44.7 mb (sorry Sean). To download it, do as follows: 1. Go to the url: http://www.pb-games.com/tj_login.htm 2. Login with the following password: Tj rocks! Note that it is case sencitive. Do never! give out this password to anyone. When you log in, please enter your real name, so i know who has the file or not. Changes from last beta (v6.2): * The stereo image in the game is no longer made by pre recorded, panned audio files, it is made from within the game itself. * Level 4 is included. * The status feature has been modified to work better. * Several other bug fixes. * The bonus objects and the animals in level 1 are now randomly placed. * The slingshot is included. The slingshot: You get it when you take a bonus object in level 1. When you get it, it comes with 5 amo, but you can get more amo along the way, by catching more bonus objects. To toggle between your different weapons, press w. And to use a weapon, press the spacebar as before. To check how much amo you have in your slingshot, press a when it is active (when you have chosen it from the weapon list). The slingshot works as follows in the different levels: Level 1: i don't recommend you to use this weapon in level 1 when you can use your spear, but if you are playing on hard and have much amo, just use it on an animal, and it is dead after one shot. Level 2: the slingshot is inactive in this level, because you do not need it. Level 3: here, the slingshot is very useful. While hanging in a vine, and there comes a monkey, just use the slingshot (it doesn't matter where you are swinging) and the monkey is history. However, if you use your spear, you now need to hit a monkey 3 times to kill it, mouhahahaha! Level 4: Here the slingshot is also very useful. In level 4 you are killing bees (see below). If you use a slingshot in this level, all bees that are currently on the screen will be killed. Here is a description of level 4: Level 4 is called honey hunt, and you are killing bees to get honey. If you finish the level you will eat the honey, and your strength will be increased. The bees are flying left and right, left and right. How many bees there are at once depends on the difficulty. When a bee is in front of you, press spacebar to kill it. If a bee passes center and you do not manage to kill it, it'll sting you and you will lose 1 strength. It is not as easy as it sounds, trust me! As i said above, the status feature has been changed to work better. You now press: 1 to hear your score. 2 to hear your strength. And 3 to hear how many lives you have left. Also, in level 4, you can press 0 to hear how much honey you have. Okay, i know that many people are waiting for this email, so if i don't want them to send mister Alpha after me, it is best that i send it now. I just have one thing remainning to say: ENJOY!!! Regards Philip Bennefall Thomas, in your version of tarzan junior that you uploaded last weekend, do you have to press 1 to hear your score, 2 to hear your strength and 3 to hear how many lives you have left? Also, you said before that you would host egg hunt and pigeon panic on your sight sometime at the end of March. But I still don't see them on the sight. I know your busy with uploading Philip's games, some of spoonbill's games and working on MOTA but maybe you should upload them because I actually had a crash in early April and it took like the whole night for system restore to fix my computer. And, I saw that egg hunt, pigeon panic, super shot, tdl maze game, space colony cleaner and science invaision were completely gone from the system, and all I saw was the sounds and sometimes the internet shortcut but the .exe file that starts the game was gone. So I had to ask some people to upload all of those. Now it would have been easier if they were on a websight like usagamesinteractive.com. And Shane is right, neither of us see tarzan junior, all I see is dark destroyer, duck blaster and snowball woar. I don't even see science invasion. Did Kelly ask that not to be hosted?

Hi Dark, I am planning to have one city map that you drive around on but each level of the game will include several building interiors. When you get out of your car and go into a building, the game will teleport you into that room or building. For example You start the game in the police station. You get a report that a bank is robbed. You climb in your police car and zoom over to the bank. If you get there fast enough you might catch the robber still in the bank. If you take longer he might be running down the street or getting into a car, and you have to chase him. Once you stop the robber, you need to subdue him, either by shooting him, using a taser gun, pepper spray, night stick or punching him. Then putting on handcuffs and stripping him nude. Then hog tying him and throwing him into the back of the car. Then grabbing the bags of money and putting them into your trunk. Followed by driving back to the police station, and throwing him in jail. Then driving to the doughnut shop and using the banks money for buying them for all your fellow cops. Unfortunately, each doughnut you eat will lower your health so you will need to drink many cups of coffee to bring it back to normal. Then you will have to find a place to go as your bladder will be filled. You visit a local bowling alley, and before going to the bathroom, you stop to bowl a few frames.

The developer according to the credits apparently said he was 20 years old when he wrote the game and this is a 2004 game. Can you explain what that means the developer kept trying it on -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 5:51 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] LAST POST ABOUT SCC With respect Jack, might I suggest you employ a litle thought. As I believe was said earlier, if anyone, including myself, had a copy of the game we would've replied to one of your numerous previous requests for it. Personally, I'm also unsure why you want the game so much. To be honest it was both very symple and rough in it's sounds, and also so completely bug wridden as to be literally unplayable, probably why in fact nobody has kept it around much less registered it. I actually think a better job (certainly a less buggy one), could be done with bgt, a few robot movement sounds, a basic grid pattern and a numerical lock. The developer imho was really! trying it on if he expected people to pay for the original game, sinse as I said the bugs and random death made it absolutely impossible to play (one reason I didn't keep the setup file myself).

Re: [Audyssey] battle zone
Hello Shane, three suggestions. One: in the installation dialogs, when you install the game, could you add an option to install the game in a different folder? That would be helpful as I am running windows 7 and I have all my games on c:\users\user name\games\company\the name of the game User name being mine, games is the folder, the company of the game, and the game name. Second, when you play the game, could you create a .exe file that will let us play the game without having to download the BGT program? And third, when you are in the game, could you put warming sounds before you fall into pits? For example in Super liam when you were about to fall into a hazerd you would get two warming sounds.

I played maze game quite a number of times and here is what I found: 1. It happened twice to me that while the ammo sound is playing, there is a monster; I am unable to pick up the ammo without being killed. In other words, first I centre the sound of the ammo in my speakers. Then I need to take 3 steps to pick up the ammo. I take 2 steps and there the monster is, so when I take the third step I pick up the ammo but at the same time the monster ate me. 2. all The other times It happened to me that I encounter a monster but then if I press s for shoot, it looks like my ammo is depleted. If I press s for shoot, the monster sound starts from the beginning. I moved back to the start of the maze twice , but I could not find any ammo. Then if I go back to the monster, I am still not able to shoot. I press shift r twice to reset the sound system but this did not help. Does anybody know if tdl games still exist and if so, where can I find them?

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA16 impressions
Hello Damien, Spoiler space the reason you can't jump over the cavern is because you need to lower down the bridge. To do this, press v and look for the switch and then walk to it, and then when you have found it. Press the enter key. _ From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Damien Pendleton Sent: Sunday, November 07, 2010 1:40 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] MOTA16 impressions Hi Tom and all, So I finally find time to install Beta 16 of MOTA, and what an impressive list of changes. Spikes, fires and chasms all seem to have warning ledges now, which I really like. The only problems I have come across so far are: Sometimes when you press Alt plus an arrow key to jump, it interferes with some sort of menu. Though I don't have a screenreader loaded at the time, my Windows sound scheme makes a sound when any sort of menu pops up, and it was making that click every time I walked. As soon as I pressed Alt again, the menus disappeared. A minor inconvenience, but I thought it should be noted. The other thing is, I was viewing a room and saw a small chasm on level 2. Therefore I jumped when I heard the crumbling ledge and subsequently got killed. This makes me think that either it was supposed to be a large chasm, or the length of this particular chasm meant I couldn't jump over it for some reason. Other than that, its performance has greatly improved since the last version I tried, and I am very impressed with the new sounds. The new layout confused me for a while, but that I shall get used to in time. The one thing I will ask is, what happened to the water? I loved swimming past that waterfall. Heheh.

Re: [Audyssey] New here; saying hello
Hello Neophyte and welcome to the list. I am an audio gamer myself and I have been playing audio games for a while now. I am also a musician I play piano and I am also becoming a recording engineer as well _ From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of neoph...@inthecompanyofgrues.com Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 5:11 AM To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] New here; saying hello Hi there, I've just joined up and thought it would be seemly if I said hello. I'm Neophyte and I blog at a site called In The Company of Grues. I'm sighted but a couple of my blind interactive fiction peers have been helping me gain a more complex understanding of accessibility gaming, something I've been a quiet advocate of for a number of years in my work within the games industry. More recently, I started work on a couple of projects and was inspired to join Audyssey. I'm currently playing a few games from the 2010 IF competition and I'm reading a great book called Wake, by science fiction author Robert Sawyer. The book was recommended to me by a blind friend who used to play Eamon games and interactive fiction. Well, hopefully this all works. This is the first time I've used an email discussion list. Chat soon. Cheers, Neophyte --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
