Re: [Audyssey] extra noise - Re: Announcing Interceptor
I have heard good things about the barri barri baseball game from arri barri games on http://pcyam.com/game/eng/index.htm Their five aside tactical football game is good, although it takes a little understanding sinse though the game is fully translated and self voicing in English the developers are Japanese, though once I got the principle it works. Oh, and you don't need to install anything or wangle with your computer to play it either, just download, install, try the demo and pay for the full game if you wish. I've heard though they did a much more complete job with their baseball game, having actual players and realistic commentary, as well as the ability to play online however sinse I don't know much about baseball beyond Jim kitchin's rules txt file I've not tried the game. all the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: valiant8086 valiant8...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2014 2:53 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] extra noise - Re: Announcing Interceptor Hi. I personally turn the music all the way down, or off if I can. If that fails, I edit the sound file provided I can open it and turn the volume down to nothing or very low in the game. I do this in all games because since I'm very deaf the music just lessens my chances. I tried stem stumper on my android phone, and the other one from the same company who I can't remember the name of. Anyway they both had music, and it's so loud I can't hear it enough to turn the music off, so those games are out for me, darn it anyway. We're currently including no music what so ever in Interceptor because of this, because of cost, and because we don't really believe it would add any true value to the game. Maybe we can put it in for a later release though if people seem to have issues with the lack of music. I feel for fellow game developers. It's surprising how expensive sounds can be for these things, and how little it may pay off since this is not a very large community. Therefore you're doing good just to come out ahead at all. I noticed some background tracks while I was searching for individual sounds for certain things in Interceptor, and those babies were shockingly expensive. We're talking 20 to 50 dollars for a single audio track. I'm sure we could find something a lot cheaper than that which would be reasonably good quality, but holy smokes!
