Re: [Audyssey] X-Sight Interactive announces the release of X-Wheel

2012-07-05 Thread Kelly Sapergia

Hi Damien and All,

This is a great game! I've only played a couple rounds, but enjoyed what I 
saw so registered it soon after. The only change I'd like to see is a better 
way of adjusting the speech rate for SAPI synthesizers. I found the fast 
setting to be too fast, whereas in games like those from Jim Kitchen, you 
can adjust the rate by going to a specific number. I think that would be 
better, but that's just me. Also, when the computer player won the last game 
I played in the demo version, JAWS didn't read out the solved puzzle, and I 
was wondering what it was. Other than that, I'm impressed with this product.


Thanks.

2012-07-05 Thread Damien C. Pendleton

Hi Kelly and all,
I have just released a 1.0.1 patch which fixes a few issues:
The puzzle is now spoken if the puzzle is filled without it being solved, 
I.E. letters are guessed and vowels purchased all the way through the game 
until the puzzle is full.

The SAPI rates are now more adjustable, from 0 to 20.
The game will now interface properly with System Access and NVDA.

Thanks.
Regards,
Damien.

Re: [Audyssey] X-Sight Interactive announces the release of X-Wheel

Excellent.
I just tried out this game and I am pleasantly surprised.
The documentation was good, I tried both sappi and jaws and it worked really 
well. 
While I was never a big wheel fan, I found myself strangely hooked on solving 
the puzzle. 
All in all a good job, and with taht little fix already in, I am going to buy 
it.
Good work!

  Hi Kelly and all,
  I have just released a 1.0.1 patch which fixes a few issues:
  The puzzle is now spoken if the puzzle is filled without it being solved, 
  I.E. letters are guessed and vowels purchased all the way through the game 
  until the puzzle is full.
  The SAPI rates are now more adjustable, from 0 to 20.
  The game will now interface properly with System Access and NVDA.

  Thanks.
  Regards,
  Damien.

   Hi Damien and All,
  
   This is a great game! I've only played a couple rounds, but enjoyed what I 
   saw so registered it soon after. The only change I'd like to see is a 
   better way of adjusting the speech rate for SAPI synthesizers. I found the 
   fast setting to be too fast, whereas in games like those from Jim 
   Kitchen, you can adjust the rate by going to a specific number. I think 
   that would be better, but that's just me. Also, when the computer player 
   won the last game I played in the demo version, JAWS didn't read out the 
   solved puzzle, and I was wondering what it was. Other than that, I'm 
   impressed with this product.
  
   Thanks.
  
   Yours Sincerely,

Re: [Audyssey] X-Sight Interactive announces the release of X-Wheel

2012-07-05 Thread Pitermach
This game is cool and I'm really liking it. I'll probably be buying this 
momentarily. For now, some ideas.
Firstly you forgot to include the dll needed to work with NVDA, and I 
believe system access, in the installer. For anyone having issues you 
can just put it from any other game into the xWheel directory and it 
will work.
Also, I do think the interface could work much better. When it's your 
turn, I think you should just be able to press enter to spin or just hit 
a voul to buy it, and pressing s could let you solve, while pressing the 
arrow keys would let you review the puzzle, maybe even replace the blank 
spaces with a click sound to speed things up. Pressing tab could show 
the scoreboard and puzzle info. Right now, the audio form looks 
rather... Weird and it's just slow at times.
Lastly I do think the crowd could react a little more, maybe some booing 
when you get a letter wrong, some cheering and things like that for 
getting higher values on the wheel and winning big. If you need sound 
help I'll gladly give a hand.

Now then... off to buy this thing!

Re: [Audyssey] X-Sight Interactive announces the release of X-Wheel

2012-07-05 Thread Charles Rivard

My thoughts on yours:

When it's your turn, I think you should just be able to press enter to spin 
or just hit

a voul to buy it, and pressing s could let you solve, while pressing the
arrow keys would let you review the puzzle, maybe even replace the blank
spaces with a click sound to speed things up. Pressing tab could show
the scoreboard and puzzle info. Right now, the audio form looks
rather... Weird and it's just slow at times.
Lastly I do think the crowd could react a little more, maybe some booing
when you get a letter wrong, some cheering and things like that for
getting higher values on the wheel and winning big.

My thoughts:  More crowd enthusiasm would be OK if you make a high scoring 
choice, but isn't necessary.  The same goes for disappointment from the 
crowd for bad luck.  I wouldn't not want any booing, though.


I think the current interface is good, because you won't accidentally make a 
wrong entry and be penalized.  I think you should have to actually choose to 
buy a vowel or spin the wheel, or to solve the puzzle.  I also see no need 
to speed things up during game play.  This should not be a speed game, but a 
more leisurely game.
