Re: [Audyssey] Views On Games was Out of the games dimension
Hi Thomas, Yes, but I don't know of anyone who did write their own DirectSound type API for dos games. So what PCS Games and I did was to use an external wave file player program that would work with any sound card such as Plany.exe or SbPlay.exe. I did also ship the Creative Labs program WPlay.exe for those who did have a Creative Labs sound card. But of course since the games used an external wave file player program the games were not as interactive with the sounds as we have been able to make windows games with DirectX etc. BFN Jim DOS=HIGH? I knew it was on something...

Re: [Audyssey] Views On Games was Out of the games dimension
Rofl, that is quite helarious, Valiant. Anyway, yeah, I agree. You just shouldn't play these games until your like 12 (the violent ones that is) although I guess a lot of kids under that age do. Also depends on maturity level- for me, I think I was mature by 10. But for others, it might take them until 15. Anyway, just my thoughts.

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Hi Dark, I have to agree with your points. One of the reasons we are doing this at all is because the other voting for 2007 was not very well publisized and games like Sarah should have been nominated or at least listed and was not. My own games like STFC 1.2 and Montezuma's Return were not even recognised as 2007 releases which was odd, or the people who setup the other voting were misinformed. Either way we need to publisize this one, and at least make a master list of games for people choose from. Especially, brand new companies like 7-128 should get a chanse to get their name out there, and be recognised as a new kid on the block. Weather they win an award or not they need to be listed and given public credit for their line of new products. Dark wrote: Hi che. I agree about nominations for specific catagories, however I would suggest first setting up a page listing all the games released in 2007, perhaps with links where appropriate.

Nominations could then be submitted, either with some sort of online form or via E-mail, then the voting for the games in each catagory could be set up as you suggest. I really think this should be as widely publicized as possible, sinse it's an occasion to draw a lot of interest in audio games from various quarters, as well as a chance for the player community to give their opinions on games in a formal sense.

Re: [Audyssey] Views On Games was Out of the games dimension
Hi Jim, Yeah, that makes a lot of sense seeing what MS Dos had to offer. I did something similar to that with my first text games for Linux. There were none of the APIs such as DirectX or even Com Audio to use in a game like there is today. Linux was much the same until a few years ago when Loki Software created SDL and made it open source for the Linux comunity. They then ported it to Mac and Windows where it enjoys some miner success as the core Sound API for python and non-Windows developers. For my text games I wrote in college such as the black jack and other card games I created for Linux I used the sox play command witch was a wav file player command similar to the Dos SBPlay.exe command. You could play wav game sounds, but nothing as detailed as DirectX or SDL offers today.

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Well, perhaps two main categories would work best, so we don't get into fragmenting everything down into sub groups too much given the limited amount of games we have available. Perhaps folks could nominate games for two categories, commercial games and beta/free games together, or perhaps one category for all three. This way, games which cost money and therefore have a much smaller user base won't be up against free games and betas that have over a thousand players. Beyond that, I'm not sure we want the complication of sub categories such as sports and strategy games at least for this initial run, especially given the rather tepid response from members about the idea so far. I think we've had 3 or maybe 4 people respond to the thread, not exactly encouraging for huge voter turnout.

[Audyssey] Question about 7-128 Game Book.
Hi John and all, Last night I downloaded the 7-128 Game Book demo to my new laptop, and am running it with the integrated version of FreeTTS. When I opened the Settings dialog to change the voice rate the setting dialog showed FreeTTS was set to 10 fastest. However, FreeTTS is running extremely slow. I was unable to crank it up to something faster like 350-450 words a minute which is my usual voice rate for voice output. Does anyone else have this problem with FreeTTS talking slow? It sounds like it is half asleep. Grin If this is normal for the FreeTTS that ships with the Game Book could you guys at 7-128 upgrade the game Book to support the higher voice rates I know FreeTTS supports? I like the Pop Corn games, I think the Game Book is a cool piece of software, but I simply can't play the games listening to FreeTTS talking extremely slow. It isn't my usual speed so to speak. John, I mean this as constructive feedback, but generally speaking when a blind user uses a screen reader like Jaws with Eloquence after they get use to the speech output they tend to speed up the voice as fast as it can go. With text to speech engines like Eloquence that can be pretty fast. I knew a guy in college who set Jaws to 500 or 550 words a minute. I could barely understand it myself, but he was reading books, homework, etc like it was nothing. So when I entered your Game Book I had expected, at least was hoping for, the ability to speed up FreeTTS to something that was comfortable to me.

Nominations could then be submitted, either with some sort of online form or via E-mail, then the voting for the games in each catagory could be set up as you suggest. I really think this should be as widely publicized as possible, sinse it's an occasion to draw a lot of interest in audio games from various quarters, as well as a chance for the player community to give their opinions on games in a formal sense. Well that is my thought anyway. Beware the Grue!

[Audyssey] mx weapons in smugglers 3
Hi list. I just managed to track down the mx upgrades for my laser and phaser canons in smugglers 3. I have 2 main questions. IS the only difference between mx and other types of upgrades such as l and xl that they do more damage? Also one thing i've noticed when using both the phaser and laser canon mx is that every few turns or so they become unuseable even when i'm in range to use them. Is it because they have to recharge or something? I don't get this problem of weapons becoming unuseable when it is other types of weapons. Thanks for any help.

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Hi Che, Well, I don't see a problem with nominating specific games from 2007, but there are two things we need to do before that point. One, we need to come up with a group of catagories to asign games to. Do to the size of our gaming comunity the triditional catagories like sports, card games, racing, etc doesn't work. For example, if we had an FPS catagory the only possible nomination for that catagory from last year would be Sarah. So the catagories might have to be more generic like best sound design, best replay value, etc... Two, we need to come up with a set of guide lines that states which games can apply for nomination. We need to think about if only new games can qualify or if updated games qualify as well. For example, Jim Kitchen's baseball game is not new, but he released version for in September of 2007 which might allow it to qualify for some 2007 award. We also need to stipulate if Beta and test releases qualify or if the awards are only for new and stable releases. If Betas are out that would disqualify games like SoundRTS and Montezuma's Return which are playable, but not yet at 1.0 status. Any thoughts suggestions or ideas on this?

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Hi Cara, Hmmm... Some of the more generic catagories like new and remake certainly would work. Games like Rail Racer and Sarah could go into the new catagory where games like BopIt might go into remake. However, other catagories like Side-Scroller is too narrow for our small comunity of games. As far as I know Montezuma's Return is the only side-scroller that was being produced and released in 2007. There is however an open catagory for strategy. STFC 1.2 and SoundRTS were both released last year which both could be nominated and compete with each other for the best strategy game of the year. Cara Quinn wrote: che, are you looking for specific categories when you're asking for user feedback?… If you are, then here go mine… • Arcade new remake First Person side scrollers • shooters FPS side scrollers • puzzle board card other • racing 2 D 3 D • simulations • Mainstream non-adapted adapted • Mods add-ons (sound packs etc) coding anyway, these are just my quick ideas.

Hi Geremy, The game they are discussing is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002.

I amanaged to get a copy from my Step Dad who owned a copy of FS 2002, and gave it away when he upgraded to a newer version.

I expressed almost from the beginning I wanted to use a computer instead of this clunky, metal, old contraption. They of course told me I needed to use it to learn braille and become a braille user. Yada, yada, yada. Well, finally I managed to get my way and the school provided me with a new device called a braille and Speak from Blazie Engineering. I used the school's for a while, and got my local Lion's club to see how wonderful a device it was so they baught me one for school and hopefully college.

However, you probably don't realise to get Microsoft Setup Installer I must buy Visual Studio Pro 2008 which costs around $700 USD./ I no longer have $700 to buy it, and I won't buy it for that price. InnoSetup, which is free, works well enough as long as end users remember to install my games in the proper order. As it happens once I get things moved to Java DirectX and .NET won't be a major issue any more anyway. I also had a real need for a set of new laptops. My wife's laptop was an old laptop running Windows 98, and it really neded updated to something new. My old laptop was beginning to have some technical issues like over heating, rebooting for no reason, and half the time the cd drive wouldn't read disks. In other words I think it was about shot.

One question that I still want to know is when I get a client, are there any muds that aren't fantasy?

Re: [Audyssey] Sound RTS and Python version?
Hi. As far as i can tell, pygame don't have 2.5 support - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, January 21, 2008 11:47 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Sound RTS and Python version? Hi Jean'Luc and all, I have some questions about Sound RTS and the correct Python version. The reason I am asking is I want to install Sound RTS Beta 9 on my Linux computer, but the only version pre-installed is Python 2.5, and when I attempted to uninstall Python 2.5 to install Python 2.4.4 I got the warning that several packages depends on Python 2.5 being present. As a result I have no real desire to screw something up by downgrading to an older release of Python for just one program. I have considered the possability of installing Python 2.4.4 side by side with Python 2.5, but I have never done that before and am worried that might effect something if the wrong Python version is set as the default. For example, if I made Python 2.4.4 the default all the apps and services I have installed that depend on 2.5 would obviously crash, and I can't afford that since my Linux system is rock solid and stable. This might have been asked before on list, I can't remember, but is there some compelling reason why you can't upgrade to Python 2.5? It seams to me that updating to Python 2.5 would be the reasonable thing to do since it now ships as a core part of most Linux operating systems and allot of Python apps are migrating from Python 2.4.x to Python 2.5. Anyway, can you give some advice how to get Sound RTS setup on my Linux system?

If people don't think enough of a game to nominate it for various categories, then there isn't much point in including it in the voting it seems to me.

Yeah, to an outsider the registry might seam pretty complicated and mysterious. However, I've been working with it for about three months and I now have a pretty good grasp of how every thing is organized, and how to manually add, change, and remove keys. It really actually is simpler than a lot of people believe once you get the basic concept of where everything is and how it works. That said, I wouldn't recommend playing around in there if you don't know what you are doing. For example, in Windows Vista there is a very annoying Window that comes up called the Windows Welcome Center. You can not turn it off, because Microsoft doesn't want you to. Instead they would rather have it in the way annoying you as you work. Well, I went into the registry with my new found know-how and I am no longer bothered with the Welcome Center coming up every time I start my computer. It is a dead Windows service. he he he he he.

Re: [Audyssey] Views On Games was Out of the games dimension
as for me, I like mell, ray, rich, mike, from ATT, and from loquendo TTS I like Dave but I can't understand him all the same, I understand Kenneth but I don't like him, cackle that's what my brother's name is, heeheeheehee, let's see, I swear by ESpeak, I understand it pretty good and I like the responsiveness, but I don't get fooled about it sounding human but that wasn't the point, I like keynote gold too, easy for me to understand, I also found accent easy to understand, never used an accent, but listened to a couple of recordings and it was amazing for me. there's also dectalk, both the normal one and the one from phonix, I like both but think I prefer the ordinary one, phonix screwed up the inflection for it. I do love that roger voice that's in phonix ISpeak for pocket pc though, he rocks, not the easiest to understand though, just sounds really neat. Then there's neospeech Kate and Paul, they're both super, then there's the real speak voices, all good but I prefer tom and Daniel and lee, tom primarily, he's more responsive than the other ones are. After that, how about akapela voices, Ryan is amazing, not very responsive though. Like Alex from Mac, Ryan breathes, but not very often, but sometimes you can hear him whoosh a bit before he goes to say something. Speaking of Alex, I'm judging by podcasts, but I lve Alex too, and that one voice I talk about from hal that we can't figure out who it is, he's monotonous, but he definitely isn't synthetic, he might be a festival voice or something, but I know there's some biphone voices from orpheus so maybe that's what it is? Then there's eloquences, easiest for me to understand since I been listening to it for like 10 years almost every day, but I want to hear other voices sometimes. Flight? I really really can't get the hang of Kevin, maybe with more effort I could figure out what he's jawing at me. Then of course Braille lite and Braille n speak, sad old synth, I'd say the worse I've heard, makes lots of mistakes with pronunciations where something eloquence doesn't, and it's inflection is sad and the pitches of what it says isn't very good, it worked though, and it was probably the best when it first came out? Then there's triple talk, or is it light talk, what ever the one is that's in the blm40, and the book port, that synth is awesome, sorta hard to understand but it just rocks all the same. It's the one that's in the turbo lite talk 4.1 or what ever the version is. Oh, and say it, cackle say it is hilarious. As for games, well, I reckon Paul, and mell, ray and maybe rich would be good menu readers, but I believe characters and such should be done by peeps. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 11:26 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Views On Games was Out of the games dimension Hi Dark, Yeah, I am rather fond of the Daniel voice myself. It sounds nearly human, and I do a lot of reading and game playing with that voice myself. It also sounds real good with Sound RTS which comes with a pre-recorded version of Daniel with the game. Though, I have noticed the higher quality the voice the less responsive it is. For example I really like the Neospeech voices, Kate and Paul, but they are too slow for my needs. On the other hand Espeak sounds like a robot, but I can really crank it up to super speed and get work done. Dark wrote: speaking of synths, through a rather complicated process (trying out some horribly expensive dolphin ocr and pdf conversion software to help in my Phd), I've acquired realspeak daniel. sinse it has to go through the sapi driver and can't interact directly with orphius the way something like eloquence could, I find it slightly slow to use with hal, but for all my sapi gammes I'm amazed at the amount of difference it makes in the game, especially to something with complex nmbers and a lot of speach like lone wolf, or Jim's trucker games. I was quite happy using Ms mike (and before Jim put the software on his site, ms sam), but now i actually wouldn't fancy going back to it, sinse playing with a fairly human and understandable voice means I can concentrate on what is happening in the game, and not have to imagine that my sub commander or golf caddy is a cyber man. Of course, there are lots of occasions 9as you mention tom working with free tts), where a robotic synth is necessary, which is fine, but I do think that in developing games, particularly games with acted characters or a set atmosphere, the sound of the synth voice should be taken into account as much as possible, especially when it is portraying characters in the game such as copter man, the opponents in X hour etc. Beware the Grue! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update

Hi John and all, Last night I downloaded the 7-128 Game Book demo to my new laptop, and am running it with the integrated version of FreeTTS. When I opened the Settings dialog to change the voice rate the setting dialog showed FreeTTS was set to 10 fastest. However, FreeTTS is running extremely slow. I was unable to crank it up to something faster like 350-450 words a minute which is my usual voice rate for voice output. Does anyone else have this problem with FreeTTS talking slow? It sounds like it is half asleep. Grin If this is normal for the FreeTTS that ships with the Game Book could you guys at 7-128 upgrade the game Book to support the higher voice rates I know FreeTTS supports? I like the Pop Corn games, I think the Game Book is a cool piece of software, but I simply can't play the games listening to FreeTTS talking extremely slow. It isn't my usual speed so to speak. John, I mean this as constructive feedback, but generally speaking when a blind user uses a screen reader like Jaws with Eloquence after they get use to the speech output they tend to speed up the voice as fast as it can go. With text to speech engines like Eloquence that can be pretty fast. I knew a guy in college who set Jaws to 500 or 550 words a minute. I could barely understand it myself, but he was reading books, homework, etc like it was nothing. So when I entered your Game Book I had expected, at least was hoping for, the ability to speed up FreeTTS to something that was comfortable to me.

First, games like Montezuma's Return are very system resource intensive. At any given time there is several sounds being played, mixed, and loaded and unloaded in real time which uses quite a bit of processor and memory resources. In addition there are internal clocks, called timers, running which draw upon your processor to perform hundreds of calculations and enemy AI decisions at or near the same time. The last thing you want when playing a game is for another program to be eating into your computers speed and memory resources when all that is going on. Screen readers as a rule tend to be resource intensive applications in themselves. That is why when you load a large program or do a very resource intensive task Jaws or Window Eyes will be silent or unresponsive until the major process finishes. There is not enough CPU output or memory to run both applications at the same time so Jaws or Window Eyes tend to get called only after the app has finished doing whatever it was doing. I could get into various technical details on this, but I won't for your sanity's sake. Second, APIs suchas DirectX were designed from the get-go to basically acquire and control your computers hardware independantly from the Windows event cue. What this means in average human speak is that DirectX actually acquires total control of your sound card, keyboard, joystick, vidio card, etc unless the developer specifically passes flags to let other sound events, mouse events, keyboard events, through to the device. Otherwise other apps can't use the device until DirectX releases hardware control back to the Windows event cue. That is why Window Eyes and especially Jaws can encounter issues running at the same time as a game running DirectX DirectInput. Jaws might recieve an input call from the keyboard to do something, and your game app will recieve the same call to do something else and since both are trying to recieve control from the keyboard both actions are carried out, or it causes the keyboard to symply lock altogether. The only way to avoid this is to unload the screen reader, put it to sleep, or the developer has to add some other special keyboard handling in the game to let the Windows keyboard events through when the game does not have focus on the screen. Although weather or not you unload your screen reader or put it into some sleep mode is your choice I do think for the two reasons above it is more than compelling reasons not to get into the habit of running both at the same time if you can help it. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

I do love that roger voice that's in phonix ISpeak for pocket pc though, he rocks, not the easiest to understand though, just sounds really neat.

After that, how about akapela voices, Ryan is amazing, not very responsive though. Like Alex from Mac, Ryan breathes, but not very often, but sometimes you can hear him whoosh a bit before he goes to say something. Speaking of Alex, I'm judging by podcasts, but I lve Alex too, and that one voice I talk about from hal that we can't figure out who it is, he's monotonous, but he definitely isn't synthetic, he might be a festival voice or something, but I know there's some biphone voices from orpheus so maybe that's what it is? Then there's eloquences, easiest for me to understand since I been listening to it for like 10 years almost every day, but I want to hear other voices sometimes. Flight? I really really can't get the hang of Kevin, maybe with more effort I could figure out what he's jawing at me. Then of course Braille lite and Braille n speak, sad old synth, I'd say the worse I've heard, makes lots of mistakes with pronunciations where something eloquence doesn't, and it's inflection is sad and the pitches of what it says isn't very good, it worked though, and it was probably the best when it first came out? Then there's triple talk, or is it light talk, what ever the one is that's in the blm40, and the book port, that synth is awesome, sorta hard to understand but it just rocks all the same. It's the one that's in the turbo lite talk 4.1 or what ever the version is. Oh, and say it, cackle say it is hilarious.

Re: [Audyssey] This is Ridiculous
Hi. make sure you don't get Tyler confused with me, he uses something that includes my name for vt, I'm not Tyler, so don't get us mixed up. but here's some advice, because 1. I like all the audyssey traffic 2. audyssey is my favorite list, and I don't want it to change 3. I don't intend to slow down my posting 4. I don't have a problem with all these messages, maybe you won't either after this. 5. It'll be easier to count how many messages I send if you follow these steppes, you won't have to sift through spam as you count. 6. email client message rules just rock, oh, and one problem consists of whether you're using outlook express or windows mail but S E P message rules: I want to offer some advice for this here list. You can create a message rule in outlook express or windows mail, these instructions match almost exactly for outlook and for windows live mail. A message rule can sort out messages you want to have separated, and put them somewhere else, this way you can mess with those messages at your leisure and get to your important stuff when you want. Also, you can apply these techniques to delete messages all together from me if you want. 1. Press alt+t This puts you in the tools menu 2. Up arrow several times looking for something labeled something similar to message rules and hit enter on it. This is commonly a sub menu, so select mail in the sub menu of message rules and hit enter on that too 3. tab around until you find a button that will allow you to create a new rule, in windows mail this is new... button. hit enter on it 4. You're put in a list view of checkable items. arrow to where the to line contains specific people and hit space to check it. If your screen reader isn't reading state checked or unchecked properly hit space on it anyway, it likely wasn't checked by default. Now press tab to move into the actions to take list view, and arrow to move it to the specified folder, and hit space to check it. Hit tab again, to land in step 3, which is an interesting read only edit field. 5. Hit your arrow keys until you find where the to line contains specific words and hit space on it. If that didn't work, mine dinged at me, hit enter on it, that ought to do the trick. This puts you in an edit field that's labeled something like type specific words or a phrase, then click add. Type Gamers@audyssey.org without the quotes into this field, tab to add and hit space, now tab to ok button and hit space one more time. You end up back in that nifty little read only edit field, 6. arrow in it again till you find move it to the specified folder. Hit enter there. You wind up in a folder tree view, move round till you're sitting on inbox, press tab until you land on new folder button, hit space on that. 7. type something like Audyssey, hit enter 8. arrow to newly created audyssey, hit enter. 9. Verify you've got something like this quoting: Apply this rule after the message arrives Where the To line contains 'gamers@audyssey.org' Move it to the audyssey folder unquote. 10. Now, tab once, this is the name of your new message rule, type something like filter audyssey and hit tab. 11. You wind up on the ok button, hit space there. 12. You're in a dialogue that has a list of message rules, and buttons with which you can do things to those rules. Shift+tab or tab till you find the list of rules, arrow to Filter Audyssey. Now tab to apply now... button and hit space. Press tab to land on select all button, and hit space there, now shift+tab repeatedly till you end up on apply now button and hit space on it. 13. you get a pause as folders are moved about, then you get an ok button confirming you've finished applying the rule. Hit space on that ok button, then tab to the close button and hit space on it. 14. Finally, tab to the ok button and hit space on that too. 15. Back in list of messages, hit shift+tab, you'll probably get inbox, down arrow once, after making sure inbox is expanded, you'll probably find Audyssey somewhere abouts, when you do find it, tab back into the message list, and your audyssey messages should all be in there. 16. Wait, there's no 16.

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Hi Che, Well, in the case of Betas there are some that are free and some that are commercial. Montezuma's Return is definitely commercial, and to play the full Beta someone needs an end user license. SoundRTS on the other hand is totally free so there are no end user restrictions on playing the whole game. Though, you definitely have a good point that the free games and commercial games should be split up. Free games tend to have more end users than commercial games. As for list feedback and comments that is typical for the list. It has just been my personal experience people here like to do things anonymously rather than speak up and be a more active member such as giving feedback and chat. I've trolled through the membership lists before and I have seen people in there who have never once asked one question or sent one responce to the list. All I can guess is they are the quiet type who just want to read, but not reply or be more active in decision making. Che wrote: Well, perhaps two main categories would work best, so we don't get into fragmenting everything down into sub groups too much given the limited amount of games we have available. Perhaps folks could nominate games for two categories, commercial games and beta/free games together, or perhaps one category for all three. This way, games which cost money and therefore have a much smaller user base won't be up against free games and betas that have over a thousand players. Beyond that, I'm not sure we want the complication of sub categories such as sports and strategy games at least for this initial run, especially given the rather tepid response from members about the idea so far. I think we've had 3 or maybe 4 people respond to the thread, not exactly encouraging for huge voter turnout.

[Audyssey] Question about 7-128 Game Book.
Thomas, The control to which you refer is our Game Throttle. It controls the speed of games that are time dependent. It does not control the speed of FreeTTS. If that isn't evident, then I gotta improve the labelling or something. Right now we have no throttle on FreeTTS. That being said, I notice that there is a setRate() method on the Voice class. Hmmm... Might that be a clue, he says thoughtfully. Within the next few days I'll do some noodling around in that code and see if I can add a speech throttle. We already play with the pitch in order to give different sounds by gender and age (and pompousness, for the rich folks.) I'm familiar with speed hearing. At our Boston Visually Impaired and Blind User's Group (VIBUG) meetings I often feel like a bit of a dummy because so much goes by faster than I can hear. Your helpful critique is always appreciated. I'll try to fix this and let you know how it works out.

Re: [Audyssey] This is Ridiculous
Hi, Well Tom Ward is as Admin and almost all, if not all, his replies are extremely useful, and contain alot of information. I agree with Shadow on one part, a separate list/email that tells the users of a game release, rather then detailed game discussion, would be helpful to users who just want to play the games, and thats the end of it. -Ryan Smith Head of RS Games www.rsgames.co.nr *SDM Beta 3 out with Score Posting/Boss, New enemies and mini-side scroller will be added into it as well.** --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] SDM Sounds/Ideas
Hi All, I was amazed that almost three people have gotten perfect scores of 400. There is another score of a person wise enough to post a curse word, which I edited. We will be adding some kind of logging system so we can ban users who wish to curse on the score boards. If you don't want to use your name, put Anon. or something indicating you ARE a human being and you don't wish to use your name. Besides all that, I figured SDM was supposed to be straightforward and rather simple, but not to the point where people are getting perfect scores. So I though and though last night about how I could make this game more difficult, so here are the possibilities, feel free to change/edit what you feel is better: - A Sidescroller at the end of the game, before the boss. Explanation: So, once you beat the game, you will be faced with a small side scroller to get to the bosses laire (you must face flame throwers, and all kinds of thing) where you are to hit a switch secretly hidden by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in case anything were to happen to you. That switch releases Anthrax, and makes the boss very weak. You then dodge him, and he dies from Anthrax bacteria. You are not vulnerable to Anthrax, as a pretend vaccination against this diseases was directly given to you by the FBI. You have 4:00 Minutes to complete it. At the end, the boss will be too weak from Anthrax when you confront him, all you have to do is dodge his semi-automatic rifle. - More Levels Explanation: 100 Levels, the last 20 at random timers that obviously fit. - More Enemies Explanation: Enemies that require more than one hit. Different levels have more difficult enemies that require 1-3 hits in the SAME number of time, so you better be quick about it. Well, I hope you got some kind of idea what beta 4 has in stock for us...please give me some feedback The Sounds! As you noticed my sounds aren't the best, although the landing sound Andy made. If you have any sounds for staircases, different types of weapons being launched at you, etc, please just reply off-list.

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Well I think that only full games should be in the voting, not sure about betas, sertainly public betas maybe, but nothing else though. At 04:13 a.m. 30/01/2008, you wrote: Hi Cara, Hmmm... Some of the more generic catagories like new and remake certainly would work. Games like Rail Racer and Sarah could go into the new catagory where games like BopIt might go into remake. However, other catagories like Side-Scroller is too narrow for our small comunity of games. As far as I know Montezuma's Return is the only side-scroller that was being produced and released in 2007. There is however an open catagory for strategy. STFC 1.2 and SoundRTS were both released last year which both could be nominated and compete with each other for the best strategy game of the year.

Re: [Audyssey] Views On Games was Out of the games dimension
Well I use those games to kill stress. I'd never transfer that to the real world. I suppose if you played games every day without doing anythingelse bar that literally you could probably have a gaming world as real world I suppose, or your life was just games and nothing else bar games and maybe violent movies. But you would have to be really messed up or just weird for that to happen I recon, unless you had p or other drug, and got drunk or something like that. And its not like our games don't have a recomended age thing like everything else.

As you said for programming practice and so that you could play the games. That really was why I wrote them as well. I mean because I wanted to play them and at that time there were not any games like that that were accessible. It was like back in like 1990 that I first got on line and got into the FidoNet Email lists such as Blink Talk and Blind Talk. That and searching the BBSs was how I found that there was a need to share the games that I was producing for my own playability. It sure was nice to be able to share the games and find out that others appreciated them. You said What I was trying to point out was that for me I was extremely disappointed that back in 99 or so when I first joined this comunity most of the discussion centered around card games, board games, and Ok, it just sounded to me like you were saying that games like that were useless and people shouldn't even waste time making them because no one would even want to play them. Yeah, you got on line about the time that the first David Greenwood games for windows were coming out. We sure have come along way since the days of the dos games where we didn't have a sound file playing engine like DirectX. I thought that it was very exciting when David openly here asked for input and worked on creating the first accessible live action first person shooter game. It then gave me the idea that I could try to do the same with the first accessible live action auto racing game. I can still play these live action games for hours like I used to play video games. Yeah, it may very well be an age difference thing as I am still an anti war, anti violence, long hair, peace loving hippie. Or it may be a personality difference thing. I just have never gotten into any of the D and D or other role play type of games. And of course I would never ever take my pet cat and throw it into a swimming pool just to hear it scream.

Re: [Audyssey] This is rediculous.
I will refer you back to valiants previous post about message rules in outlook express. 1. I like all the audyssey traffic 2. audyssey is my favorite list, and I don't want it to change 3. I don't intend to slow down my posting 4. I don't have a problem with all these messages, maybe you won't either after this. 5. It'll be easier to count how many messages I send if you follow these steppes, you won't have to sift through spam as you count. 6. email client message rules just rock, oh, and one problem consists of whether you're using outlook express or windows mail but S E P message rules: I want to offer some advice for this here list. You can create a message rule in outlook express or windows mail, these instructions match almost exactly for outlook and for windows live mail. A message rule can sort out messages you want to have separated, and put them somewhere else, this way you can mess with those messages at your leisure and get to your important stuff when you want. Also, you can apply these techniques to delete messages all together from me if you want. 1. Press alt+t This puts you in the tools menu 2. Up arrow several times looking for something labeled something similar to message rules and hit enter on it. This is commonly a sub menu, so select mail in the sub menu of message rules and hit enter on that too 3. tab around until you find a button that will allow you to create a new rule, in windows mail this is new... button. hit enter on it 4. You're put in a list view of checkable items. arrow to where the to line contains specific people and hit space to check it. If your screen reader isn't reading state checked or unchecked properly hit space on it anyway, it likely wasn't checked by default. Now press tab to move into the actions to take list view, and arrow to move it to the specified folder, and hit space to check it. Hit tab again, to land in step 3, which is an interesting read only edit field. 5. Hit your arrow keys until you find where the to line contains specific words and hit space on it. If that didn't work, mine dinged at me, hit enter on it, that ought to do the trick. This puts you in an edit field that's labeled something like type specific words or a phrase, then click add. Type Gamers@audyssey.org without the quotes into this field, tab to add and hit space, now tab to ok button and hit space one more time.

I will refer you back to valiants previous post about message rules in outlook express. 1. I like all the audyssey traffic 2. audyssey is my favorite list, and I don't want it to change 3. I don't intend to slow down my posting 4. I don't have a problem with all these messages, maybe you won't either after this. 5. It'll be easier to count how many messages I send if you follow these steppes, you won't have to sift through spam as you count. 6. email client message rules just rock, oh, and one problem consists of whether you're using outlook express or windows mail but S E P message rules: I want to offer some advice for this here list. You can create a message rule in outlook express or windows mail, these instructions match almost exactly for outlook and for windows live mail. A message rule can sort out messages you want to have separated, and put them somewhere else, this way you can mess with those messages at your leisure and get to your important stuff when you want. Also, you can apply these techniques to delete messages all together from me if you want. 1. Press alt+t This puts you in the tools menu 2. Up arrow several times looking for something labeled something similar to message rules and hit enter on it. This is commonly a sub menu, so select mail in the sub menu of message rules and hit enter on that too 3. tab around until you find a button that will allow you to create a new rule, in windows mail this is new... button. hit enter on it 4. You're put in a list view of checkable items. arrow to where the to line contains specific people and hit space to check it. If your screen reader isn't reading state checked or unchecked properly hit space on it anyway, it likely wasn't checked by default. Now press tab to move into the actions to take list view, and arrow to move it to the specified folder, and hit space to check it. Hit tab again, to land in step 3, which is an interesting read only edit field. 5. Hit your arrow keys until you find where the to line contains specific words and hit space on it. If that didn't work, mine dinged at me, hit enter on it, that ought to do the trick. This puts you in an edit field that's labeled something like type specific words or a phrase, then click add. Type Gamers@audyssey.org without the quotes into this field, tab to add and hit space, now tab to ok button and hit space one more time. You end up back in that nifty little read only edit field, 6. arrow in it again till you find move it to the specified folder. Hit enter there.

Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year
Yes, I should have made that distinction, thanks for pointing that out. I am sure you are right that many more people will vote than are responding to this thread, especially once we publisize it a bit. Right now I propose we list all games released in 2007 so folks can nominate them for voting in two categories to keep things simple: 1. Commercial games including paid betas 2. free games and betas So basically we would end up with a commercial and non commercial game of the year. There just seems to be too few game releases of different categories to have seperate votes for sports, strategy etc. Thoughts? - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2008 4:55 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] voting on game of the year Hi Che, Well, in the case of Betas there are some that are free and some that are commercial. Montezuma's Return is definitely commercial, and to play the full Beta someone needs an end user license. SoundRTS on the other hand is totally free so there are no end user restrictions on playing the whole game. Though, you definitely have a good point that the free games and commercial games should be split up. Free games tend to have more end users than commercial games. As for list feedback and comments that is typical for the list. It has just been my personal experience people here like to do things anonymously rather than speak up and be a more active member such as giving feedback and chat. I've trolled through the membership lists before and I have seen people in there who have never once asked one question or sent one responce to the list. All I can guess is they are the quiet type who just want to read, but not reply or be more active in decision making. Che wrote: Well, perhaps two main categories would work best, so we don't get into fragmenting everything down into sub groups too much given the limited amount of games we have available. Perhaps folks could nominate games for two categories, commercial games and beta/free games together, or perhaps one category for all three. This way, games which cost money and therefore have a much smaller user base won't be up against free games and betas that have over a thousand players. Beyond that, I'm not sure we want the complication of sub categories such as sports and strategy games at least for this initial run, especially given the rather tepid response from members about the idea so far. I think we've had 3 or maybe 4 people respond to the thread, not exactly encouraging for huge voter turnout.

Re: [Audyssey] Views On Games was Out of the games dimension
Personally, I think age restrictions should be advisery at most. I was playing games like Mortal Kombat (with fatalities), at age 9, watched aliens, Terminator and robocop at age ten, even played them with my best friend with either action figures or dressing up. in fact by the age of eleven I was quite a fan of ninja films. And obviously I had no urge to impale people with swords or anything like that, - besides, cleavers are much more fun and easier to clean afterwards, - ;D. Seriously as has been said, it's so dependent upon the individual, that I really would reduce age restrictions to simply something for parents to check should they wish to, and not mandatory laws as they are, say when wrenting videos or on the Tv watershed. Just my thoughts. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] This is rediculous.
This is the last that I'm saying on the issue. I think that the underlying issue of my problems are here are the threads that have nothign to do with gammes. Yes. I do think this list is a great resource. Yes I do think that games are a great topic, and should be descussed. No I don't think that asking for programming help should be here. No I don't think that we should go on about useless topics like this. If I had offended anyone by agreeing to Shadow's post, it wasn't my meaning to do so. I am just simply stating that 27 messages in like a half hour is a tad rediculous. He's not going to change his post, and no one else agrees with me? Well, I got all I needed to know. I'll just have to, pardon the language, shut the hell up and deal with it. My intent by agreeing with this topic was simply that, to see if this was as big of an issues as it was with me. I have that answer. Again, my apologies to anyone if I have caused offense. that was not my meaning. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Award catagories was: voting on game of the year
Personally, while I fully agree there are far too few games for best sport Best stratogy etc, I do think we should make a vague nod in the direction of gameplay. even in the matter of free games, there are some which it does not seem fair to compare against each other because the purpose they have been designed for is totally different. take for example sound Rts and boppit ultimate. Both are free, both have online play capability, but their play styles are so wildly different as to be almost incomparable. there will be lots of people (I know a couple), who would only be interested in playing one or the other, and so would only vote for one of them. If the catagories are too wide, I feel all we'll end up with is a bunch of people voting for their particular favourite game or game type and not considdering all the options. I do however take the point about keeping the number of catagories small so as to minimize complications. I'd therefore suggest: Best quick play game, Best extended play game Best puzle/board/card game (there seem to have been so many of these that they would imho need their own catagory), and Best competative game (online competition, score posting etc). Well that's my suggestion for catagories, what do people think? Beware the Grue!
