Re: [Audyssey] a polite request.
Hi Dark, Yeah, the polymorphing abilities for me have always been irritating. The ratkin are almost totally unplayable because of the fact that their stats never get reset correctly after they revert back to their normal form. As for the scrolls, I never understood some of those. I understand that without the gather departed souls, the ray of destruction scroll might not work, but then the question becomes why even include them?

Hi Ishen. Some scrolls don't work, either because the scroll fails or because the enemy is resistant, the level of the scroll will give you an idea, but some enemies are specifically resistant. As I remember polymorphing the drake is either impossible or very, very unlikely sinse it would make the fight too easy. As to jobs, shamans have one of themost powerful abilities in the game, the curse ability, which will elp a lot against the drake, lightning is a good spell to use too. The problem with shamans however is that the only races who can be shamans are goblins and ogres. Ogres don't make good shamans sinse their intelligence is so low and magic damage and amount of mana is based on intelligence, while goblinns are physically not strong as a class so make sure you have some healing methods handy if you go that route. Also be careful using the tribal totem to turn into a bear sinse as I remember there was a problem with the game resetting all your character's stats after they were morphed back to their initial values, which made them very ineffective. Necros are great. just keep ice blasting the drake in the noggin, though again look for ways to weaken him too. As to buying the game, I'd recommend it, it's got a full 25 floors and twice as many jobs and races, it'll take you hours to complete just the once and if you thik the drake is bad, wait until you see some of the bosses further down.

Is a great sheff today any the less of a sheff because they do not cut sticks, lay a fire, use a refrigerator, need to turn a spit, use a bellows to keep the fire going or anyth of the other things which in the past were necessary to cook? Heck no. If they are a great sheff we judge them by what they produce, not how they produce it. For me, a far greater concern is the standardization of methods of production and disemination which could influence creativity. In the same way as a sheff who only had access to tinned goods would not be as good a sheff as a sheff who could put their own individual stamp on fresh ingredience, I am concerned that kitbox creation methods and standardization (not to mention need to appeal to an increasingly small number of corporations which is a hole other debate), might have an adverse affect on creativity. If for example the dictation software couldn't handle fantasy names, or unusual punctuation that could be a major creative issue. That is why I personally believe written language and letters will continue sinse use of letters and punctuation allows the greatest diversity in creation, whether that's writing, coding or whatever, and why, while I don't agree about braille, I do not like the idea of everyone devolving into text speak sinse limitation of language also involves limitation of thought. I also get concerned over tools like madlibs, rhyming dictionary programs or synonym creators, and (to bring this back to games), if game creation became too limited. For example if the only thing on offer was customizations of console games based on choice, eg, creating a character by selecting from a huge bunch of elements, rather than allowing a platform where people could program their own games, or even create their own elements in a scripting language. Whether in the future the letters are typed, brailled, written with a pen, or selected from some sort of efficient on screen keyboard doesn't seem to matter to me, same with programming so long as the choice still exists and the end product can be as individualized. Ironically, a friend of mine who is a student of literature said people actually thought the same of the printing press. The arguement was if copies of a book could be instantly created by printing rather than painstakingly copied out by hand, this made the book less valuable and encouraged laziness on the part of the authors, as well as devaluing of the book on the part of the reader. Indeed apparently some holy orders forbade religious books to be printed, and the gutenberg Bible was actually banned in some parts of Europe. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] is it really progress? - Re: end of keyboards, was Throwaway Tech
Dark, I think likening reading via braille to chopping down firewood is a rather absurd and unrealistic analogy. If I am sighted, how do I read eMails or webpages? I most probably look at my computer screen, a method clearly analogous to braille. And despite what you seem to be implying here, there are most certainly concrete uses for braille. For instance, I am a lector at my church. I shutter at even the thought of taking an audio book player up there and repeating back the text that way. Even repeating back what a screenreader tells you is inefficient since it is usually stilted and without any inflection or feeling.

If an author wrote the words and I understand them, I've read them, heck even when I used to read books in braille I always imagined the sound of the words in my brain rather than just picking up on the letters. For a sighted person, it is slightly different, but given the time it takes to read something in braille why take the time? If you think these old skills are so valuable, well do you have central heating in your home or do you go out, chop down trees and put them on a fire? Do you go out and hunt creatures in the forest with a spear? sinse hay, what would you do without electricity. Unless tactile display can catch up with technology, (which I hope it does), I don't personally see braille surviving as a medium sinse the majority of things it can do for conveying information can be done far more easily and cheaply by a screen reader. As regards speaking, well as I said I could see a problem if the software is too dictatorial, but if you could for example specify your punctuation and spell your fantasy names to the software so you would have the same creative freedom with your text as you would when typing, well what is the problem?

Re: [Audyssey] games we'd like to play: a minute to win it
I think the real issue is how specialized each challenge would be, e.g. how heavily each would have ot be documented because of the variety of challenges present on that show. The other issue is for the more difficult ones, you'd almost have to have a degree of randomness to keep people from coming up with tricks to do them in one go, for example the one where you have to bounce a quarter from a table into a jug. Long story short, I can't see how you'd make a reasonably good audio game out of that, either.

Its no longer in production, and the Game Show Network, GSN, shows reruns of it on Sunday afternoons as I recall. In any case because the show is no longer in production and is no longer being shown on NBC that's probably why you can't find any info about it on nbc.com. You are basing your information on a show from two or three years ago. At any rate not sure how well it would be as an audio game. The idea of the show is to come up with challenges using household items and giving the contestant a chance to perform the action in 60 seconds or lose one of their three lives. Not sure how one would imitate some of those challenges in an audio game although I suppose it is possible. Just not something that would be of any interest to me personally since I wasn't really a fan of that game show myself.

For one thing while the USA is a commercial country a lot of people, including myself, are in financial trouble right now and can't afford to just pay someone to write games or whatever. When my soon to be ex-wife left last fall I had to basically spend all of my savings etc to hire an attorney for the divorce, and as a result of the divorce I am pretty much flat broke. While I wouldn't call myself penniless I am pretty close to it at the moment. Second, due to a number of factors I haven't been working for a long time, and am collecting disability. That means while I have money coming in to pay my bills such as rent, internet, electricity, and so on I don't have a lot left over for extras. Let alone to hire an employee as you suggest. Finally, making audio games isn't likely enough to support one programmer let alone two or more. At most an audio game will bring in maybe $10,000 or so in sales, if it does that well, and then about 25% will come out of it for tax purposes. Say $7,500 clear. Now, we have to split that between two programmers which comes to $3,250 per person which is almost nothing. Bottom line, I could probably get a job working the lunch counter at Burger King, McDonald's, or Wendy's for twice that so making a living off of audio games isn't remotely possible. Much less hiring an employee as you suggest. As far as PCs Games goes who is Charles? Last I knew Phil worked alone, and developed Pac-Man Talks and Sarah by himself. He had a partner when starting out, but he left years ago to per sue a more lucrative career in the mainstream programming industry. So I do believe you have your facts wrong, and need to get them straight before making suggestions that are factually incorrect. Cheers!

Hi Thomas, Oh, absolutely. I was simply referring to the previously made suggestion to name them after famous rides straight out of the box. (At least, that's how I read it.)

Chances are they wouldn't know about it unless it was made public somehow.

Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report.
Hi Thomas, You mentioned that after striking, the employees wanted more than they were being paid before you dropped your wages--something which brought to mind an interesting phrase at the end of the strike eMails. If you recall, it is mentioned that the wage might be negociable. I can't tell if this is simply fluff, or if wage prices are, in some way, actually megociable. Problem is, should the latter be true, I see no way of accomplishing that. Have you had any experience in negociation with them?

Hi Hayden, Same here. The first couple of parks I created I followed the park reports rather faithfully and every time I took one of its suggestions I ended up making the situation worse instead of better. I found out through a little trial and error to use my own common sense and pay people a wage I thought they should be making for their current job rather than listening to the park reports. For example, I remember this one park where I was paying everyone about 8. The park reports told me I was paying them too much and I should pay them 3. So I lowered wages to 3 per person. The next thing I knew all of my employees were on strike and they now wanted 10 per person. I ended up triggering a mass strike all because I followed the park reports' so-called expert advice. I'd been better off to go with my own judgment which was closer to their demands than the park reports were. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Park boss report.
Actually, Charles, those reports generate rather low figures. Just ona whim, I did that for my first park one week, and subsequently every single employee in my park struck. So those numbers don't' really give a realistc report as to what to pay anyone, and that inludes ticket prices.

Hi guys, here is my report for my recent game of Park Boss. I've tried paying my opperaters and maintenence staff 3 like it says to do, but I at once got an email threatening strike actiong, so I put the wages back up to 5. Perhaps someone could look at my report and tell me where I'm going wrong. What I'd like to see, if there is an update to Park Boss, is a way to send your park layout to someone, so they can see the order you've built things in, where they are placed, and so on, though I've no idea how easy or hard that'd be to code. Anyway, here is the report. Message from the Park Consultants: Here's our report. Given your visiter levels its suggested your entertainers should be payed 3 per hour. Given your visiter levels its suggested your park operators should be payed 3 per hour. Given your visiter levels its suggested your maintenance staff should be payed 3 per hour. The rides and attractions in the park have been assessed, the attractions have been given a draw factor of 20. use your park weekly report from the park stats you get to make sure all attractions are running. You have a good level of customer services for the number of guests you currently attract. Given your visiter numbers you should provide 0 toylets at your park, you currently have 1. given the current draw factor of your park we'd suggest setting your ticket price to around 7. also, consider a temporary drop in price to attract more visiters to make more money. Its suggested that a meal price of around 9 a quater of all your guests will have a meal at the park and a snack price of around 2 will cause around half of your guests to have a snack. I also don't have the options of building snack stands yet, though i have built a gift shop, and when I took the toilets away, I also got complaints.

Hi Thomas, I'd actually like to amend the statement you made about the park report. Be careful about the tickets as they actually tend to be way higher than your ccustomers will be willing to pay.

[Audyssey] Selling a Park in Park Boss
So I'm happily chugging along in week 56, about to set up a new attraction, when I get an offer to sell my park. As the offer happened to be thrice my current bank account, I figured I'd take it and start a new park with the money. The first confusing thing is that the game exits, something I did not expect. Upon restarting and checking my balance, I've got.zero? How does this work, exactly? I was under the impression that you received the money you got when you sold and could, with that money, start a new park. But I have absolutely nothing now.

Re: [Audyssey] Selling a Park in Park Boss
Honestly, what you have implemented is logical, but the obvious question is why not just hit the restart option? Given the current scenario, the two are basically equal, regardless of the price you get for your park. Perhaps you have the price for a hundred squares of land set for a certain amount, and you take the difference into your new park? So, assuming I sold it for 375000 pounds and the price for he land was 200 K, I take the 175 K into my new park.

Re: [Audyssey] how to be an audio game programmer.
While I do agree to some point with that assessment, I don't think such a statement is universally true. Let's assume, going back to Jody's example, that we are talking about BK3. I can't possibly expect that Yukio would have the energy or knowhow to translate from Japanese into the hundreds of languages existing today. Such an endeavor, I believe, would clearly be impossible, and in such a case I don't think the author should be responsible for making the game universally understandable, particularly when said game is free to begin with.

Hi Jody, No, its not impossible. However, for a semi-pro or pro job I think that any game that is developed in English for a largely English speaking group of gamers should attempt to get the spelling and grammar as correct as possible. The easier it is to read/listen to the more enjoyable it will be for the gamer to play. It is actually for that reason why I don't play a lot of the Japanese games. I just find the translations too cumbersome and difficult to listen to so find the games not worth my time and energy. I have better things to do than to figure out what a game is saying in some foreign language, or sort out the mess of its translation from Japanese to English. Cheers!

In fact, it has become more popular than I could ever have imagined when I first started developing it back in 2009. So in terms of adoption and community, it has been a definite success. However, financially the picture is a little different. I knew when I first envisioned it that it would not sell very much, seeing as how it is targeting a small subset of the blind community which in itself is not that large to begin with. However, over the years it has become apparent just how small the potential market is. I have concluded that I can no longer justify working on it to the extent that I did in the beginning, and on top of that I am involved in a lot of other projects which take up the absolute majority of my time. For the last few months I have been debating back and forth with myself what the right course of action would be. One option is to simply make it abandonware and forget about it, but I do not like that alternative. Another option would be to continue selling it and releasing updates in the little free time that I am able to dedicate to it, but that seems unfair to the users who have paid for a product that they expect updates and prompt support for. I dismissed that. The final option that I have actually chosen to go for, is to make the product free but not abandon it. I will continue to maintain it, adding new features as time permits and fixing any bugs that spring up as soon as I can. I will keep the forum online, and I will continue to accept sponsorships from those who want to see a new feature in the engine and are willing to pay a little something for it to happen. Simply put, a fully functional version of the engine can now be downloaded free of charge from www.blastbay.com. Be sure to uninstall any prior version that you may have on your system before installing this new one, as it contains some minor incompatibilities.

Most people I know use it on an actual physical board, and if I' on the playroom it almost always comes into play there as well.

Then again monopoly seems to have a lot of rule variation. When i originally played for example I always thought no buying on the first go around the board was an official rule and was quite surprised to find many players didn't. It makes for a longer game and also makes luck with the dice important to get off to an early start, but it does tend to result in players picking up properties in a more spread out way since obviously they will arive on the first few squares at different times. There was also a really weerd rule which I've seen some people play with that whenever a player loses cash to a chance or community chest card, that cash goes into the center of the board and the next person who lands on free parking can take it, though to me that one seemed just plane crazy, and I couldn't really see the point since you don't get paid for free parking in real life :d. And all this is of course apart from some of the whackier custom monopoly games with different rules and cards, albeit I've unfortunately never really got to play those myself as (as usual), the only accessible version in braille is the bog standard original one.

First, let me say that I know the rules and that I am very experienced player in all audio versions of Monopoly. So the rules are not the problem, but the questions are about applying them in the physical game, that is, how to do some things that the computer does in a digital version instead. 1. When your token lands on a field and you want to buy it, how do you do it? Do you just take the card where that property info is written? 2. How does one distribute the money? The board comes with a number of banknotes of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 dollars. How to distribute the money at the beginning so that everyone has 1500 dollars as the rules state, and still to be able to pay, say, 2, 3, 14 or 223 dollars? 3. How to mark a property that is mortgaged? Another set of questions may come up soon, so thanks in advance!

To buy a property in Monopoly you must give the banker the amount of money for the property listed on the deed, and in return he or she will give you the deed to the property. To mortgage a property you will have to give the banker the deed to that property and in return he or she will give you the mortgage value listed on the deed. He or she will write it down on a piece of paper that this or that property is mortgaged and probably keep it in a separate pile from the unsold deeds. Cheers!

It is about a game that is accessible, although it is not neither video nor audio game but a braille monopoly that I ordered on Ebay and it arrived some time ago. Now I am trying to play and have some questions, and if this is off-topic I will make no objections if the moderators close it. First, let me say that I know the rules and that I am very experienced player in all audio versions of Monopoly. So the rules are not the problem, but the questions are about applying them in the physical game, that is, how to do some things that the computer does in a digital version instead. 1. When your token lands on a field and you want to buy it, how do you do it? Do you just take the card where that property info is written? 2. How does one distribute the money? The board comes with a number of banknotes of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100 and 500 dollars. How to distribute the money at the beginning so that everyone has 1500 dollars as the rules state, and still to be able to pay, say, 2, 3, 14 or 223 dollars? 3. How to mark a property that is mortgaged? Another set of questions may come up soon, so thanks in advance!

The mouse demo was suppose to give gamers an idea of how Max Shrapnel was to be controlled, and to give them a little practice using the mouse as Max Shrapnel was to be largely played using the mouse much like Swamp is today. Of course, I remember people wined and complained about lack of keyboard support back then as they did with Che over Rail Racer and Jeremy over Swamp until a majority found out they actually liked it. Lol. Anyway, I think a lot of people forget what a great innovator James North really was. He created Alien Outback before Justin and Dan came out with Troopanum. He came out with Dynaman before Phil came out with Pac-Man Talks for Windows. He created Monkey Business and I think it was the very first attempt at an audio FPS game. He wrote Pinball Classic and it still remains only one of two pinball games for the blind. He came out with his rendition of Montezuma's Revenge in 2004 which is the very first audio 2d side-scroller with a vertical and horizontal axis of movement. Shall I continue? The point is James North created a lot of firsts, and this community would be a lot worse off without his contributions. Oh, sure Troopanum would have come along, and I'm sure Phil would have released Pac-Man Talks for Windows as he did. Someone would have come up with a 2d side-scroller eventually, but all of these things were done in the first few years of the audio game industry and James North was the one cranking out new games and new ideas that other devs hadn't thought about yet.

Not saying right now, of course, just a suggestion for a possible project.

I'm disappointed, but not really surprised, to see some of the sentiments being batted around on list. Essentially, like always, everyone wants something for nothing, and never mind the time, effort or trouble that Justin put into the games over the past dozen years, whether or not he has released anything new recently. The shortsightedness of the community is to its detriment. Kids won't be kids forever. Perhaps Justin is reserving the right to return to creating and/or updating these games eventually, when his kids are grown. Perhaps he just wants to be fairly compensated for the hours he spent developing them in the first place. Whatever his reasons or movations, I have no doubt that some of you will pirate the heck out of these games without a thought to their creator. Should Activision give away the Infocom collection for free? Should Nintendo allow anyone to make clones of NES or SNES cartridges of the old Super Mario Brothers Games? Maybe Paramount should give up the rights to Star Trek the Next Generation, after all, they aren't making that series anymore. Rather than calling justin greedy for giving folks the chance to do the right, legal, and ethical thing and purchase games they may want before their gone for a ridiculously reduced price, you should all be thanking him for the hours of entertainment and enjoyment he brought to you over the years.

Re: [Audyssey] Press Your Luck
Hi, I'm not Jim, but I'll take my best shot. In the original game, there were two types of round. In the first, the three contestants were asked a question, and one would buzz in with an answer. The remaining wo contestants would be given three choices, including the buzz-in answer, to pick, one of which was guaranteed to be the right answer. If the buz-in answer was correct, than the player who buzzed in got 3 spins, and anyone else who got it right got 1 spin. The second round was a bit simpler. For each spin you had a board of money amounts and prizes. When you were ready, you pressed the buton, usually shouting stop! and would win whatever you stopped at. The catch was that there were whammies on the board, and if you hit one you'd lose everything. Furthemore if ou hit four whammies you were out of the game. If you did not want to take a spin, you could pass the spins to the personwith the most money, and they would be required to take them. There were two suc rotations, and the winner got to come back as the chapion for the next show. I hope that explanation was at least semicoherent :) Best Regards, Hayden -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2013 2:04 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Press Your Luck Hi Jim, What is this game about.

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions

When you Best Regards, Hayden -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Wardenter your key, you create a .lic licence file which registers the game, and which you can back up and reuse whenever you like on that computer. However, you can use the key on ore than one computer. I myself am in thr process of converting to a Windows 7 machine and so put RR 2 on both systems. As far as registration goes, they both work just fine. Sent: Friday, January 18, 2013 8:13 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions Hi Shaun, Well, the licensing system that Railracer uses is pretty crappy to begin with. I remember looking into it for some of my own projects a few years back and I was not at all impressed with it. The first issue was it wasn't all that accessible, and a lot of .NET developers have nothing good to say about it from security complaints, buggy code, to .NET compatibility issues. So I think RR could use some other security system to be frank about it. All the same I know what you are getting at. There has to be a balance between security and end user satisfaction. There is such a thing as being too secure and it can be a headache if the protection interferes with the customers lawful use of the software. At a certain point legal or not cracking does seem like a promising solution just to get rid of the annoying security system. Cheers!

I am not flaming che or anyone but to be honest to put it politely I have been unimpressed with railracer. Firstly after the beta was over and life got in the way interest with the game tapered off some what. Especially with the likes of swamp and tactical battle. Long before that though I was having major issues with the online activation server. The one time activation code was fine so long as I kept the file backed up. However the program would frequently fail to activate or go online especially after dotnet or directx updates and would sometimes just plum not work. Then rr suddenly stopped licencing itself. To top it all off, the fact that pirates made che basically say users had to buy the game for each new system really turned me off. Yes I have a licence, no I don't want a refund, I got 6 months of enjoyment out of the game. rr2 is supposed to come out, and to be honest, with all the new stuff out its a bit junkey and basic. Don't get me wrong it was not crap when it came out like 5 years back, for its time it was revolutionary but with the fact I may have to keep buying the game for each new system and other junk I don't know if i would be willing to repay for the game. I think the way blindsoftware does it is good though I have had an issue where pipe2 does not seem to want to register that is the replacement server doesn't want to find my origional purchace order and I need to contact support to get the key replaced manually. I think there needs to be a ballence between secure and crazy though. In the case of che, with the policy of railracer if the reg system is for every comercial game and if the licences are the same as they were for railracer 1.0 years back I doubt if I will ever buy the game or legally play it ever for the simple reason that to buy a game I have already purchaced because I need to buy a code for each system I play on especially when I only have only 1 or 2 units I mainly play on well mostly 1, is a real turn off. And to be honest with other licencing systems out there well you be the judge on that one. I won't outright say the game was crap and I didn't get what I payed for because I did to a point. Its the principal that counts though. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi, You have to ask yourself, thogh, how many sighted people were skeptical enough not to buy it in coparison to the number who do.

While I definitely understand and can appreciate the value of a demo, remember that tons of mainstream games never have demos. they're sold on physical media, typically cost upwards of 50 dollars, and yet, they're making a killing in profits. I think the audio gaming community's just been spoiled by demos in the past, so can'tt countance the idea of trying a game on pure faith based off of trailers and word of mouth. I buy a lot of games for my Playstation, and have never complained that there wasn't a playable demo for me to gauge its effectiveness. Sure, sometimes you find games that cost way more than they deserve, or that completely fail to impress altogether, but this is the deal with products all across the board. Ever bought a pie to discover you hated the filling? Imagine the cost of food if stores were required to have samples of every item you wanted to purchase.

While there's been a bit of traffic on this list about this topic, it has come from only two or three users who feel pretty strongly about the topic. It reminds me a lot of 2007, when we announced that we would no longer be offering CD copies for purchases of our titles. We got a lot of email from a small group of people saying that we would lose all kinds of sales for this, that, or the other reason, if we didn't keep shipping out discs. In reality, it made absolutely no measurable difference to anyone, and was a knee jerk reaction to change. For nearly a decade and a half, there hasn't been anything significantly disruptive about the way in which audio games are offered. Generally speaking, and yes of course there are exceptions, developers have offered a demo that could be played and then unlocked for around $30-$40. We are experimenting with a different model now, and there is bound to be those who are uncomfortable with change.

Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions
You know, Dark, I was considering that about demo-less games. It is probably more likely someone will end up pirating the ting to give it a try, and for the less scrupulous among us will probably just keep the pirated copiy they were given. Best Regards, Hayden -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2013 6:39 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] The Dragon Answers Questions Hi Tom. another fact to considder, is that often the experience of playing a game is very different to that of hearing about it. A perfect example hear is rail racer. I do not myself enjoy racing games, they are not something that tends to interest me in the least. Thus I wasn't absolutely enthusiastic about rail racer. nor did the podcast Che made about the game precisely enthrall me either because the concept of riding round a track on a machine bolted to it on a rail where you couldn't actually hit the sides or crash struck me as even less interesting than usual racing games. However because! there was a demo available, and because I know myself that the experience of playing a game can be vastly different from hearing about it I tried the thing and found my previous assumptions to be wrong. in the case of rail racer in fact, I'd argue that the reason the game works is in it's mechanics and fine tuning and the need to develope the necessary judgement and coordination to play properly, things which are not clear from a review or a podcast, and only become clear when you try the game for yourself. This is especially true of games hwich might be extremely well designed, but in genres or settings that you would not normally play. You mention your own experience with sarah as an example, but even if Kelly or someone similar made a podcast would you have been likely to buy the game without a demo? I know for a fact I myself would not have bought railracer without that demo, and would (I'm sorry to say), be unlikely to considder buying any other racing title unless a demo was available since it is a subject and genre of games that I just do not generally find interests me. So if you for instance produced race way and had no demo, I would probably not buy a copy myself however good the game might be and quite likely even if someone made a podcast about it. In that case however I probably would be more likely to play a pirated copy just to see what the game was like, far more likely than if a demo was available in fact. Beware the grue!

Good morning all and many thanks for your preciuos support.
I should ask, before continuing, if this is the right place where writing
about BGT without annoying others members. I'm quite new
of the list and I don't want to bother nobody.
Now my scripts looks like this:
***
void main()
{
sound suono;
suono.load(1sec_beep.ogg);
// suono.volume(0); suono.pan(0);
suono.play_wait();
}
I've putted volume and pan as a comment probably cause I'm calling those
methods in a wrong way and they give me an error ..on
compiling main.
The scripts works anyway.
My idea is to have a sinusoid sound playing continuosly, that I can move
left and right by pressing orizzontal harrow keys and
change its pitch by pressing the vertical ones. Esc would close the script.
The far goal would be to create a Morse Key but it lives just in my dreams
right now.
Read you soon.
Gabriel.
PS: Does exist some place where I can find more documentations and scripts
examples than in the included CHM guide?

Re: [Audyssey] BGT: why not?
Hi Gabriele,
Something else to keep in mind here. You call the play method on this sound,
which means that it will, of course, play. But it will not wait while it is
playing. This means that you are likely not to hear any sound at all. I'd
recommend using the play_wait function if you want the sound heard.
Best Regards,
Hayden
