Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game!
I enjoy the game a lot and I normally have had problems with very complex games. This one is simple and fits my need for a a side scrolled. Great work. I just bot the game and M enjoying it. I am not all that good at the game, but I do enjoy it. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 5:38 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game! Hi, Agreed. In all respects Q9 is a classic 80's type side-scroller similar to Donkey Kong and some of the later Pitfall games. Things like level editors etc need not apply here. This is exactly one of the aspects where I ran into problems with Mysteries of the Ancients. I started out writing a traditional side-scroller along the lines of Montezuma's Revenge,and I was bombarded with requests for level editors, save game features, random monsters, random items, etc. After a while as I added features and updates the game ceased to be what I initially had planned to create in the first place. In the end I've been very disappointed in the product while others constantly say how much they enjoy it. Kind of a paradox disliking the very game others like. However, that situation was caused by trying to please everyone else except myself. I don't want to see Philip make this mistake as well. Anyway, in my personal opinion adding level editors and such to Q9 would ruin the classic arcade game feel. The reason I like this game so well is it reminds me of the type of games I played in my younger years. Sure it has some modern aspects like random items, random monsters, etc but that enhances rather than detracts from the game. The game is very adictive and has a high amount of replay value for me right now. That's all that counts in my opinion. dark wrote: while more traps would be nice if possible, maybe themed traps for the levels, I seriously don't see what good an editer would do in a game where everything is randomized, sinse I assume the principle differences betwene the levels are the types and frequency rates of enemies, pits and items, and their length. I don't see how playing with these factors in an editer would really do anything more than the current game is doing already. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game!
I bought the game just about an hour ago, and am on Death world level 1, on easy. This is a ton of fun to play. Was wondering a few things: Are the pits random as well or just the enemies? How does the points system work? Are the level lengths constant or random? This is one of the better games I've played, for sure.

Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game!
Hi Dark, Sorry for being a bit late in responding, I have a whole bunch of emails to wade through. First, you are not the only one to suggest a quicker way of switching weapons. Though I do not personally find it particularly ircsome, I can see why others might and so I will make it possible to press tab and shift tab to switch between the four weapons. As for turning, it works like this. When you are facing right and you press the left arrow, you will then turn around on the spot without taking a step. This is good for when you have one or more enemies on each side and you want to hit them both without actually moving. Running has noe effect on this, as you can turn as fast as you want.

Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game!
hi philip. i have a suggestion. what about more types of traps in some locations, to add even more random things and increase the replaiability of this awesome game? i don't know what else you could add, maybe the others can help with suggestions. another good thing that whould be good is maybe a new type of enemy to kill. the humans. i really love to kill the animals, but since the game takes place in the earth, some males / females armed with clubs or something even worse in the middle of the levels whould rock in my opinion. and for last, i know that it's hard to create, but a level editor that allows you to create custon levels whould give the game a infinity replay value. thanks for the attention, and i know if these suggestions are not going to be implemented, that's certain understandable, since i know you're working in other projects, and probably won't want to add much more things to this game. thanks again, for creating a game that remembers me of the old beat'em ups, totaly accessible for us. :) -Mensagem original- De: Philip Bennefall phi...@blastbay.com Para: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Data: Segunda, 16 de Novembro de 2009 21:30 Assunto: Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game! Hi Dark, Sorry for being a bit late in responding, I have a whole bunch of emails to wade through. First, you are not the only one to suggest a quicker way of switching weapons. Though I do not personally find it particularly ircsome, I can see why others might and so I will make it possible to press tab and shift tab to switch between the four weapons. As for turning, it works like this. When you are facing right and you press the left arrow, you will then turn around on the spot without taking a step. This is good for when you have one or more enemies on each side and you want to hit them both without actually moving. Running has noe effect on this, as you can turn as fast as you want.

Hi Shaun, Oh, I hate it when special items come down over a pit and I have to try and jump over the pit and grab it in mid air before it falls into the pit.

Thanks Philip. Very handy to know on both counts, and I'll appreciate the use of the tab key for weapon switching when the next update has come. I've now bought my copy too, and while I haven't been able to play it as much today as I would've liked, I have seen more worlds and levels, not to mention those cut scenes and death sequences, - awsome! My only miner question is, even if it's not really an answerable one, who the heck is Q9, from where does he come, and how did he lose his spaceship? I know action games aren't supposed to have massive amounts of plot, and I'm probably being pedantic, but i'd appreciate knowing all the same, either by an extra game cut scene or an intro in the manual.

Hi Dark, Sorry for being a bit late in responding, I have a whole bunch of emails to wade through. First, you are not the only one to suggest a quicker way of switching weapons. Though I do not personally find it particularly ircsome, I can see why others might and so I will make it possible to press tab and shift tab to switch between the four weapons. As for turning, it works like this. When you are facing right and you press the left arrow, you will then turn around on the spot without taking a step. This is good for when you have one or more enemies on each side and you want to hit them both without actually moving. Running has noe effect on this, as you can turn as fast as you want. So if you keep pressing the left and right arrows in quick succession you will notice how Q9 turns back and forward without moving in the environment. I hope this answers your questions.

Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game!
Hi, I second that. It is not so much impossible to get the objects as pretty darn hard when you have enemies piling on you like a bunch of football players and the stupid object is heading straight for a pit. It is times like that you litterally have to decide to try and jump for the object over the pit or stand their and try and beat off all of your enemy attackers. Sometimes you don't have much choice but to stand there and fight while the object goes smash.

Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game!
while more traps would be nice if possible, maybe themed traps for the levels, I seriously don't see what good an editer would do in a game where everything is randomized, sinse I assume the principle differences betwene the levels are the types and frequency rates of enemies, pits and items, and their length.

Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game!
Hi, Agreed. In all respects Q9 is a classic 80's type side-scroller similar to Donkey Kong and some of the later Pitfall games. Things like level editors etc need not apply here. This is exactly one of the aspects where I ran into problems with Mysteries of the Ancients. I started out writing a traditional side-scroller along the lines of Montezuma's Revenge,and I was bombarded with requests for level editors, save game features, random monsters, random items, etc. After a while as I added features and updates the game ceased to be what I initially had planned to create in the first place. In the end I've been very disappointed in the product while others constantly say how much they enjoy it. Kind of a paradox disliking the very game others like. However, that situation was caused by trying to please everyone else except myself. I don't want to see Philip make this mistake as well. Anyway, in my personal opinion adding level editors and such to Q9 would ruin the classic arcade game feel. The reason I like this game so well is it reminds me of the type of games I played in my younger years. Sure it has some modern aspects like random items, random monsters, etc but that enhances rather than detracts from the game. The game is very adictive and has a high amount of replay value for me right now. That's all that counts in my opinion. dark wrote: while more traps would be nice if possible, maybe themed traps for the levels, I seriously don't see what good an editer would do in a game where everything is randomized, sinse I assume the principle differences betwene the levels are the types and frequency rates of enemies, pits and items, and their length.

To clarify my last post with the suggestion, I think level editor was perhaps the wrong choice of phrase, it really does sway more toward a mod maker that I'm imagining. Whatever sound or story you care to put to it in your mod, it'll still retain the classic arcade style because of the UI and navigation surely.

Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game!
I'm stil not keen on the idea to be honest scot. QYour not essentially at that point changing the game at all, just re-doing the sounds, and the sounds in Q9 are great already! Perhaps at some point in the future Philip could make a classic side scroller creation tool, in which you can modify the properties of pits, traps, items, enemies, the range,, damage and amo of character weapons and how much is randomized, not to mention add your own sounds and music. this is though, quite a different project from Q9, and would I think be better, and more useful, as a different tool entirely, even if it used elements of the Q9 code.

You have to guide the little alien Q9 through four different worlds with three levels in each, and help him to find his spaceship so that he can return back to his own planet.

Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game!
Hi, Wow amazing. I don't think we've had a release like this in a while. Well there are Che's card games but I'm not a card gamer so I'm excited to try this one out. Munawar A.

Hello everyone, I wish to officially announce the release of the Q9 Action Game. For those of you not familiar with it, it's a sidescroller entirely based on sound with 12 exciting levels containning a hoard of enemies and other dangers to make your way through. You have to guide the little alien Q9 through four different worlds with three levels in each, and help him to find his spaceship so that he can return back to his own planet. The game features a lot of high quality sound effects, an original orchestral score as well as numerous cut scenes with slightly morbid humor.

Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game!
Hi Scott, Hmmm...I see. In other words is what you are really thinking of is an easy to use game engine. A sort of game creation tool like BGT or Genesis that allows you to create games using an existing game engine. Just add sounds, music, and the basic functionality is already there fore you. Smile. Scott Chesworth wrote: To clarify my last post with the suggestion, I think level editor was perhaps the wrong choice of phrase, it really does sway more toward a mod maker that I'm imagining. Whatever sound or story you care to put to it in your mod, it'll still retain the classic arcade style because of the UI and navigation surely. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] New release - The Q9 Action game!
And if that's him doing the voice work he's definitely improved by leaps and bounds there as well. Much more confident I think. I myself could have supplied voice work for one of his other games but things just didn't work out. Partly it was the fact that at the time I was using an absolute dinosaur of a computer with only 64 meg, but then I realized I might not be the right material for the character in question, a superior officer of some kind in I think the FBI. The game in question I believe was going to be called Science Invasion. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza.
