Ryan,

No offense was taken or meant. Your feedback is very welcome, and it will be 
factored into the decision long term.

We were only trying to explain why we need to make sure that our efforts will 
be of value to as many customers as possible. :)

Ryan, thank you so much for voicing that developers' work means a lot to you! 
This really means a lot to me! -And I'm sure others here as well.

Thanks for saying it!

Have an awesome day!

Hi Ryan,

As of now, the only game we have updated to the new game engine is 
ChangeReaction. That leaves Alien Outback, DynaMan, and 9 pinball tables

old CR to post scores. When we suggest that users can show us they want this 
support, we're talking about the eleven other boards that are currently up and 
running.

Scoreboard usage has never been all that high in comparison to the number of 
games sold, so it is hard to justify putting the time and resources into doing 
this for such a small number of users. if we can see that more than a handful 
of folks want this feature, it would bump it up on the priority list. I think 
this is perfectly reasonable.

We're certainly not suggesting you play the old CR just to post scores.

Hope this clears things up for you.

Re: [Audyssey] Message for Draconis.

2013-05-04 Thread Ryan Conroy
Good point, but I don't think you understand what I mean. You can not post your 
scores in chess to an online score board. I'm talking about the score boards 
here, not the value of a game. Of course the old titles are still great, they
're classics. My point is, why should we go back to the older games, just to 
post scores. Who knows if Draconis is planning to release Alien Outback again 
as an upgrade. If he did though, I'm sure no one would use the score boards to 
post their scores anymore, they're want to play the new version, and give the 
old one a break. There's no compitition if no one's posting scores, and if an 
upgrade comes out they're going to want to compete in it.

Something to think about:  Does the age of a game decrease from its value? 
Personally, I don't care how old a game is if it is a good game.  Chess has 
withstood the test of time.  Why?  Because it is a good strategy game. 
Alien Outback is an excellent game.  If you base your game selections on the 
age of the games, you're sure shorting yourself of a lot of fun!

Something to think about:  Does the age of a game decrease from its value? 
Personally, I don't care how old a game is if it is a good game.  Chess 
has withstood the test of time.  Why?  Because it is a good strategy game. 
Alien Outback is an excellent game.  If you base your game selections on 
the age of the games, you're sure shorting yourself of a lot of fun!

Hey Sarah,

I completely agree. I'm sure lots of people would post their scores from 
the new ChangeReaction, seeing on how it's new. If you want to compete on 
ChangeReaction though, you need to go back to the old one.
As you said, most of their older titles support the score server like 
alien Outback, PBX all tables, Dynoman which is one of my favorites, but 
no one wants to play the old stuff. They're still fun in all, but how are 
we going to see how the boards are really used if we're just trying it 
games that are years old? I for one, can't wait to see what else Draconis 
comes out with, but we should update the boards to present, and not test 
how offen theire used with games from the past.

Hi,

yeah, I also would like to be able to post scores with the new version. 
Josh
stated that he wanted to see how the scoreboards are used before adding 
it

to new games, but I think this approach is a bit tricky. Not all older
titles have score posting to start with. And now that the new game is 
out,

people want to play the new game which can't send scores, so naturally
scoreboards are not used. I hope you can see what I mean here. I actually
have the same problem. I love the new change reaction and play it often, 
but
to be able to send scores and show that I will use the boards I have to 
play

older titles which I don't want to play as much right now. Difficult
situation I think.

Best regards
Sarah

Re: [Audyssey] Message for Draconis.

2013-05-04 Thread Desiree Oudinot
So you can actually have both versions of Change Reaction installed on
the same computer? I didn't know this. I thought that the new one
would simply overwrite the old, much as Super Egg Hunt Plus overwrites
other versions. In that case, it makes perfect sense, but I actually
prefer some of the sounds in the old Change Reaction. That's not meant
as an insult, I just happen to like the old sound when you couldn't
place a coin in a particular stack, plus I like the main menu music
better in the older version, to say nothing of the easter egg that
could be unlocked if you typed in a certain phrase. As i said, I'm not
complaining at all. I like the new version, and the three modes expand
it far beyond what it was originally. While I'm giving feedback,
though, I will say that the new Draconus intro is much better than the
older one. That one was too long.

Re: [Audyssey] Message for Draconis.

2013-05-04 Thread Draconis
Hello Ryan, Sarah, Charles, and all,

We are seriously considering building new scoreboards to work with the new game 
engine. This is not a trivial undertaking, and certainly not one that we wish 
to take unless the boards are going to be used by enough gamers.

Supporting the boards on multiple platforms, and with the features we wish to, 
will take some time, but is not entirely out of the question. As we stated 
previously, though, seeing use from gamers of the boards we have now would help 
support the notion of doing so.

While, personally, I'd love to just have support for the boards in all new 
titles, we need to make sure it is worth the time and effort put into 
implementing it.

Hope this makes sense.

[Audyssey] Message for Draconis.

2013-05-04 Thread Ryan Conroy
Hello,

I was just wondering about score boards again.. Some people are going to wanna 
post scores like I do, and no one seems to have this oppinion, but I actually 
started the old change reaction, just to post my score. Don't get me wrong, I 
think the new one is a lot better, and a major upgrade. I like the new game 
moads, and all that. I guess what I'm wondering is, is it Difficult to add 
boards into the new ChangeReaction, and all/some of your future titles? I mean, 
if you have the score server already, why not just put the boards as an option? 
Hopefully I'll get some feedback from the rest of the list about this, but I 
love competing online against others to see if I can beat their scores.

Thanks,
Ryan
