Re: [Audyssey] Castaways and making armor and other items.
Actually john, hunters will bring in meat whether or not you have a butcher, it's just that a butcher A, increases the amount from each kill and B, gives you fir which can be spun into yarn by your peasants and then woven into cloth by your taylor. Beware thegrue! Dark. - Original Message - From: john jpcarnemo...@live.com To: Gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2011 3:40 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Castaways and making armor and other items. Not quite sure what you're looking for, so I'll give you the general list: foods: vegetables only require a vegetable farm, which you must assign farmers to operate. meat can be brought in through fishing, or through hunting. In order to use meat from hunting, you must have a butcher shop and a butcher to run that. If you are running one of the latest versions, butchers will automatically become hunters to get the animals they need. To make wine you need a vineyard, which also requires farmers to operate, but has the added requirement of needing barrels. Bread requires several steps. You must have a wheat farm, which requires farmers. Peasants will bring the harvested wheat to a mill, where they will grind it into flour. After that, peasants will bring the bags of flour to a bakery which will create loaves of bread. A baker creates three loaves of bread from each bag of flour, so bread, once you get it set up, can be a very useful food. Supplies: Lumber needs a sawmill to create. Lumberjacks cut down trees, which are brought to the sawmill where carpenters cut it into useable lumber. Carpenters can act as lumberjacks if there are no logs at the sawmill. Bricks are created by a stone mason in a quarry. There are no extra steps for bricks to be created. Cloth requires a butcher, who will remove fur from animals brought back from hunters. Peasants will bring the fur to a textile, where they will turn it into yarn. From there, a Taylor takes over and creates cloth. Metal bars require metal ore which is gotten through a mine. A metallurgist then takes the metal ore and turns it into bars. I personally find it quite handy to only assign a metallurgist, and let him/her mine the ore and then turn it into metal, this way, you only have to use one person for the entire project. Suits of armor and swords are created by a blacksmith. You must have a barracks, to use them, and each set requires two metal bars. Hope that covered what you were looking for; good luck! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] A suggestion for Castaways
Hi all, A situation that I had with Castaways made me think of the thing I am going to suggest. The thing that happenned in the game made me laugh, and I think it will make all of you laugh too. I had 2 or 3 male and 5 or 6 female characters, most of whom were pregnant most of the time. So probably most of the children had same fathers. :) Here we come to the point. No prostitution, no condom production. But the families. I don't know if it would be possible to implement. When a woman is pregnant and the child is born, the father should be announced too, and the boys, when grow up, would take the current job of their father, and the girls could take the current job of the mother. The jobs, of course, could later be changed, but this would make the game more interesting than when everyone by default becomes a peasant. Then, the children of the knights should by default become the knights without the possibility to change the job, and a child of a knight father and a knight mother should have a special ability... What do you all think?

Hay jeremy how about a limited distribution? Instead of having it on sites that list All! online games, find forums that host similar things and post it there, eg, dwarf fortress, retroremakes.com (which also supports retro style and new games), and maybe one of the more reputable indi developers, like the one that supports the michi new team who made to hell with johny. That way your not just advertized to all and sundry somewhere like alawar (which really is! dodgy), but give people the chance to check out the game who may be interested, and may then allert their other friends with similar interests. heck, i showed it to my fully sighted, dwarf fortress playing friend (the one I learnt about df's existance from), and he was certainly impressed by the game.

I was actually just speaking with Hatred about adding some graphics, and pitching the game to a sighted community he is the administrator for. I have only 1 reservation when it comes to inviting mainstream gamers into the game, and that is security. I'm sure they are everywhere, but the sighted gaming communities run rampant with people who want nothing more than to try to break a game. The first thing they will do is try to exploit any security holes to hack the game, or even bring the servers down. I've seen this so much, that I can't help but wonder if I'm on the verge of opening up Pandora's box here. As someone who has made indie mainstream games, I know how to put the proper security measures in place, but I'd rather not have to. Instead of adding new features, or fixing bugs, I could wind up spending all of my time constantly trying to stay 1 step ahead of those who get a thrill out of trying to break it and ruin it for everyone else. Our biggest form of security is simply being hidden. The moment word gets out, into the wrong groups of people, that's forever gone. Here in the blind community, it seems less likely that someone will intentionally try to ruin things for everyone, mostly because this is a smaller community. I guess I'll keep mulling it over, though any recommendations would be appreciated. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Finding castaways

I've actually found making people miners to be quite pointless, sinse odds are when a metallurgist has finished with one bar there will be no ore available and they'll go off and mine anyway, so usually i just make multiple metallurgists instead.

Re: [Audyssey] Jeremy's incredible programming speed and misc thoughtswas Re: Castaways, 1 week milestone reached!
Hi Tom. both of these are true, and in fact i'd not thought of stfc myself. Being as I play gamebooks, i obviously come into contact with a lot of people who play games with a text ui only. more of these are being released on platforms like the iphone everyday, and are becoming much more popular, in fact generally I've noticed that as I pod culture has increased, audio as an overall medium is making something of a come back, look at professional audio companies like graphic audio and big finish as examples, and that's not counting the huge number of ameter things out there do. it'd be gret if vi devs could take advantage of this situation, however that won't happen while sighted people refuse to play something sinse they assume it is for the blind! Afterall, in fairness most sighted people couldn't imagine using a computer or reading text without any vision at all, hence why I'm asked so often if I have a braille keyboard and whether that is a normal laptop th0ough this is irritating, it's unfortunately a fact of life, but disabled people won't do anything about it without making some efforts to change things, and having blind devs sell games to sighted people is a good way. When I first went to uni, there was a chap called John who was in most of my lectures and became quite a good friend of mine. it wasn't until I'd known him for about 4 or 5 months that it suddenly turned out he was gay, and in fact i only found out because i met his boyfriend. I'd rather assumed that any gay man would be openly camp in some sort of way, so to find out john, who if anything was quite the opposite of camp with a very sarcastic and abrasive sense of humour, was gay very much changed my perception entirely and made me realize there isn't any sort of over bearing difference betwene someone who was gay and someone streight. The same principle applies here, though even more so, sinse unlike being gay, blind people do! have visible differences which need overcoming, and this is something blind people themselves need to considder in their interactions with people, sinse even if a person is completely unprejudiced, if they've never come into contact with anyone blind, they will at least be surprised. In fact getting people over the waaa! he's blind phase is something I've personally had to practice over a long while, and while it is! quite often irritating, it is a necessity. Btw, this is what the 4th chapter of my phd is on, the social aspect of disability but not merely how society gets in the way of disabled people, also what duties and concerns disabled people have towards others in society in the consciousness that they are disabled.

Hi alex. To fix vinyards, just look at how many barrels and peasants you have.

Hi Dark,
Well, not necessarily. Keep in mind that the wrestling game and STFC
will largely be text based. It doesn't make much of a difference one
way or the other if it is written in pure C++ or written in .Net as
the majority of the coding would be fairly similar in practice.
For instance, I might initialize a Window using the Win32 API, and
then use the wprintf() function to write text directly to the window
as follows.
void PrintIntro ()
{
wprintf (WWE\n);
wprintf (Ultimate Legends\n);
wprintf (Version 1.0\n);
}
That's simple enough. However, doing the same thing in VB .Net is just
as equally simple. I might create a simple Window, add a textbox to
the middle of the window, and do something similar to above.
SubPrintIntro ()
textbox.Text = WWE
textbox.Text = Ultimate Legends
textbox.Text = Version 1.0
End Sub
As you might be able to see the VB example in this case doesn't really
save anything in the long run because after all we are just dealing
with text output. This is a fairly straight forward process for most
programming languages. Its the other stuff like loading and playing
audio that makes a difference as there can be a huge difference in how
it is done.
For instance if you take the stock C++ DirectSound 8 library that
ships with MS Windows there is no builtin ability to load sounds and
assign them to a secondary buffer for playback. Therefore the C++
developer pretty much has to write his or her own load functions in
order to use that API. However, com components like dx8vb.dll has
simplified this for Visual Basic developers, because Microsoft has
thoughtfully added an open function which can open wav files for
playback. This is why, I purchased Streemway from Philip, as I have
access to DirectSound without having to write my own load functions
etc just to use the API. With Streemway I have the equal access and
simplicity of a Visual Basic or .Net developer. Make sense?
So even though I might write STFC or my wrestling game without my
engine I still have a huge amount of code that can be reused. I have
Streemway, for audio playback, I've got wrappers for DirectInput, and
I can copy my wrapper for Sapi 5 support to extremely speed up the
process because I have a lot of code in place already.
Cheers!

Hi Tom.
thanks for the full explanation. just going on what you've said though,
I'm
afraid it sounds as if when you next start on a new game outside your
platform engine like the startrek or wrestling one, a different language
from C++ may be better?
I personally don't particularly mind downloading dependencies sinse often
they are useful for other things (for instance other games), and while
security and performance are both important for some programs (I would
wager
my avg antivirus and tuneup were written in C++), I do find myself
wondering
how much difference this makes to a game if it makes it so much more
difficult and time consuming to program?
Appologies if this seems hars, I know as a none programmer myself it's
easy
to sit and make judgements, however I will admit i've noticed a tendency
that some programmers have (rather like logicians), to do something for
reasons of efficiency of code or general structure which makes litle
difference to the main user.
Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] graphics in audio games, was: Jeremy's speed
Hi Tom. I see your point aobut online cards, however I'm afraid I don't agree about graphics entirely, simply because that is not the way the pc indi games work. Obviously, a group of three or four people making a game on their own won't! be able to produce something of the same graphical quality as a multi million dollar company, however such games are stil made and stil sold. Look at aHurrican, the turrican remake. It took 5 years to develope, and has won inumerable awards but graphically is probably only just at the same quality as the playstation 1. Either in a retro style to nostalgia retro freaks, or to people who like a specific type of game, such as the players of roguelikes. I'm not sure about adding full graphics to something like shades of doom, or even more simple games like mota, sinse even to create Snes style graphics would probably take as much time as making the game itself, but simple ones for castaways would! appeal to the players of things like angband, dungeon, Dwarf fortress, rogue etc, (maybe even the rocks n diamonds players), people who rely more on game mechanics than on visual appeal. Then of course, imo a game like shades gains considderable! horror and misteak just by being audio anyway, so more graphics would imho spoil the experience anyway. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] A suggestion for Castaways
Hi Milo. I agree on the idea of having fathers and I deffinately! like the idea of ganing special abilities through inheritrance, why leave it up to knights? afterall if your mother and farmer are both builders, your going to pick up some stuff there too ;d. However I really don't like the idea of kids taking on parents' jobs automatically simply from a game mechanics perspective. if father was a cook, odds are the last thing I need is a second cook, however if the child is a peasant, at least he/she starts off doing something useful anyway even if I assign them to do another job later. I also am not in favour of the knight's children becoming knights automatically idea, a couple of promiscuous knights could devastate your workforce and lose you the game that way by having many kids who were knights but couldn't do anything else, meaning you starve!

Hi Tom. both of these are true, and in fact i'd not thought of stfc myself. Being as I play gamebooks, i obviously come into contact with a lot of people who play games with a text ui only. more of these are being released on platforms like the iphone everyday, and are becoming much more popular, in fact generally I've noticed that as I pod culture has increased, audio as an overall medium is making something of a come back, look at professional audio companies like graphic audio and big finish as examples, and that's not counting the huge number of ameter things out there do. it'd be gret if vi devs could take advantage of this situation, however that won't happen while sighted people refuse to play something sinse they assume it is for the blind! Afterall, in fairness most sighted people couldn't imagine using a computer or reading text without any vision at all, hence why I'm asked so often if I have a braille keyboard and whether that is a normal laptop th0ough this is irritating, it's unfortunately a fact of life, but disabled people won't do anything about it without making some efforts to change things, and having blind devs sell games to sighted people is a good way. When I first went to uni, there was a chap called John who was in most of my lectures and became quite a good friend of mine. it wasn't until I'd known him for about 4 or 5 months that it suddenly turned out he was gay, and in fact i only found out because i met his boyfriend. I'd rather assumed that any gay man would be openly camp in some sort of way, so to find out john, who if anything was quite the opposite of camp with a very sarcastic and abrasive sense of humour, was gay very much changed my perception entirely and made me realize there isn't any sort of over bearing difference betwene someone who was gay and someone streight. The same principle applies here, though even more so, sinse unlike being gay, blind people do! have visible differences which need overcoming, and this is something blind people themselves need to considder in their interactions with people, sinse even if a person is completely unprejudiced, if they've never come into contact with anyone blind, they will at least be surprised. In fact getting people over the waaa! he's blind phase is something I've personally had to practice over a long while, and while it is! quite often irritating, it is a necessity. Btw, this is what the 4th chapter of my phd is on, the social aspect of disability but not merely how society gets in the way of disabled people, also what duties and concerns disabled people have towards others in society in the consciousness that they are disabled.

Re: [Audyssey] Jeremy's incredible programming speed andmiscthoughtswas Re: Castaways, 1 week milestone reached!
A more selective distribution would certainly help, but we could never really eradicate the risk. The first people we tell, can tell people they know, and those can tell people they know. It is just something we have to be cautious about. I'll repeat something I said to Nocturnus yesterday, because I think it will fit well here. Picking up a hitchhiker on the side of the road is a risk, but it doesn't necessarily mean people will find your corpse the next day. Sometimes all that's happened, is you've helped out someone in need, and life goes on. If you continue to regularly pick up hitchhikers however, you are increasing your odds that eventually you're picking up some crazy murderous nut. As soon as you run in to one, that could be the end for you. I've been told that some people in the blind community like to cause trouble, but Especially! in the mainstream world, you run in to people who like nothing better than to crush games for the thrill of it. These are the kinds of people who will take great pride, and put forth great effort if needed, to keep a game's servers from working, intercepting and infecting people who visit its website, and if it Is! still able to function, they will cheat, spam, and harass people to no end. I have seen neat little games run into the ground by these types of people, and I've seen larger companies fighting a constant battle to stay on top of it. We just can't afford to let even one of those kinds of people in here. Our current defense is just being so unknown. We simply aren't a target, yet. One day it absolutely will! happen, and honestly I don't think we can be ready for it. As I've seen countless times in the mainstream world, if adjust our security to combat them, all we've done is provided them with another challenge. These people Like! the thrill of breaking something, and it is more fun to destroy a group that is trying to avoid it. I can only guess, this is the same difference between shooting at a stationary or a moving target. One is harder, but more fun because of it. I can't say how much I hate writing this post, if it crushes the dream of even 1 person here. The goal of blending the blind and mainstream gaming worlds has clearly been a constant dream among the people here. A huge part of me would like to keep a blending from occurring, to keep this community hidden for as long as possible, but I won't let myself take that stance. We all take up roles in whatever group, society, team we join, and in this community I've already decided I want to help give the people what they! want, so I will push in whichever direction you guys want! If you want this game to start bringing in sighted players, I almost guarantee I'll make it happen. Actually, I should say, myself and Hatred, will make that happen lol. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] security for games was castaways
I'm definitely going to use your idea Dark. Those of you who have been playing Castaways multiplayer, have probably already noticed that the welcome message thanks Mr. Viktor Kratz for sponsoring the day. Determining an exact cost is tricky, simply because I lack the equipment to measure the energy costs, but I have some pretty good estimates. I already had all of the parts, in my basement, to put together a dedicated server. I have no problem running that server 24/7 as long as I can afford to pay for the electricity. Now I know what you're thinking, how much could it Possibly! cost just to keep a computer tower running in your basement?! And, how could that be something you worry about affording?! Well, lol, if you've ever heard me mention I'm poor, I wasn't exaggerating Hahaha! With the power costs in my area, and the average estimations for what this hardware draws, it will cost between $0.30 and $0.60 per day to run. That's pretty cheap, but that extra $10 to $20 on my monthly electric bill would put me over budget. When you take paypal fees, and the 80 cent maximum range into consideration, I think it's pretty safe to say that each $1 donation covers the server for 1 to 2 days. Please let me know what you guys think of this idea, but my plan was to take each new donation, and have it mark days on a calendar showing the days that particular person had paid for. When people sign in to the multiplayer game, they will see who funded the entertainment they are having for that day. It might be a nice way to thank those people who are supporting things. The only down side, is that with this system, some people can donate but not see their name for months! The next, unpaid, days could be a ways down the road.

Re: [Audyssey] graphics in audio games, was: Jeremy's speed
Not to seem like I'm taking any particular side, but I think the most important aspect to consider is comfort. The languages clearly have their own set of advantages and disadvantages, and each developer has their own way of judging which of those is most important, but at the end of the day, I believe a developer should go with whatever makes them most comfortable. We hear that regarding work all of the time, do what makes you happy. People push themselves into career that they hate, in search of the most money, or social acceptance, but they might be miserable! If you have money, or acceptance, but are unhappy, really what was the point? A programmer could change the language they use, in search of more efficiency, or a programmer could change the language they use, in search of faster development speeds, but if they aren't as comfortable using that language, their quality of work will diminish simply because their heart is no longer in what they are doing. It has become more work than fun... more mechanical than art. I can only imagine that Thomas is comfortable using his chosen language, for the specific projects he is working on, so in a subjective sense, he Is! using the best language for the job! I think just about all developers change up their tools as they take on different projects. I do anyway. But we should never underestimate the impact of being unhappy with the tools you're using. Go with what makes you happy. :) --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] security for games was castaways
Nice idea indeed. There are I think two possibilities to both reward people and let people know when time is running out. Firstly, have a message which says how long the server is paid for, perhaps even with a gentle reminder or two when it's getting down below a week to encourage people to help. Secondly for showing things, how about a roll of honour for people who donated? Several sites I've seen like project.aon do this just as a thank you. You could also considder some kind of completely aesthetic but fun litle reward for people who donate, for instance the ability to name their own tavern, or have a randomly generated name for the island in the game. It's not like a donation advantage in an online game that will make it better for them, it's just a fun litle diversion as an extra perk, though if coding this and tracking certain people is going to be a pest, never mind. out of interest, if the online daytona game or the shooter get up and running as well as castaways, will they all run on the same server with the same donations? or will you need to try and fund more stuff. I thought one server could handle multiple game projects, but I'm not absolutely certain sinse that side of how websites work is rather a mystery to me. btw, I sent of my donation this morning, but would prefer to appear on the name list as dark rather than as luke hewitt if that's okay, just because that's what I'm usually called around here, even if paypal calls me something different.

Re: [Audyssey] security for games was castaways
Thanks Dark! I do like the idea of announcing how far forward the server has been paid for. I will also look for other interesting ways to reward the people who are supporting things. Unless there ends up being some kind of unforeseen problems, future games, like Daytona multiplayer and the Mech game, should run just fine on the same machine. This means that people's donations will help everyone, even if not everyone enjoys the same game.

When it comes to sound effects, I have a pretty poor track record for choosing ones that are of high quality, haha! Because I think it is important to recognize your own limitations, I have asked fellow user Locutus to handle the game's sounds. For the moment, the game is equipped with only a few temporary sounds which are only there to help Locutus play around with different possibilities. A recent issue with his external hard drive has slowed him down, but I'm sure we will eventually get some great stuff to replace the current sounds. For the most part, the decisions about what sounds to have is being left in his capable hands. I will simply change around code to fit whatever he comes up with.

Hi Jeremy. I checked my regional settings and they are all set to US and English. There's nothing anomalous there. My comments were, as the subject line indicated aimed at 1.0b. I've downloaded 1.1B and reported the strong start bug.

Re: [Audyssey] controling peasants
Keep in mind that everyone is able to do their main job, plus a temporary job if they don't have work to do. When the game begins, your people are set to be builders, but builders can also help out as peasants automatically. This might be what you're seeing, that the people are builders, yet you had peasant type work being done. This is normal. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

sinse the first thing you need to do in the game is build the storehouse, everyone starts out as a builder to make life easier. builders will act as peasants when not building, ie, they'll fetch and carry and do jobs like grinding flour, but you'll probably want to make certian you have a good few full time peasants around too to prevent your people from starving whenver you build a house and there is nobody around to get food out of the storehouse. to move through the catagories of jobs, use e and r, through the people in each catagory, use d and f, to reassign a person use s and a, and shift d and f for buildings.

You don't move people, you just tell them what job to do and tyhey'll do it automatically. Directly moving people around is not really what castaways is about.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways 1.0b thoughts and impressions.
Quoted from Dark You'll notice that you get no new messages about in game action unless you here the ticking. Of course you can also press either the ~ (tilde) key, or the \ (backslash) key to hear messages that are currently back logged. Because you could receive multiple messages on the same tick, they are stored in a log and fed to you 1 at a time as ticks of time pass. In the vast majority of situations, receiving a message a tick or 2 later, has no negative effect. If you have no backlogged messages, pressing either of those keys will just make a sound to indicate there is nothing to show you. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] sounds for castaways
Overall, I really like the sounds chosen so far, minus the birth sound, which I've replaced myself, as it scares the crap out of me every time, hehehehe. To that end, sound packs could be put on send space or drop box if folks out there would like to share their custom sounds. This worked out well for BA, with folks replacing sounds, adjusting volume, etc. as they wished. Having an open sounds folder is a great way to allow folks to do some fairly easy customization of their game experience, and I'm glad Jeremy has gone this route. Che On 7/17/2011 10:39 AM, Jeremy Kaldobsky wrote: When it comes to sound effects, I have a pretty poor track record for choosing ones that are of high quality, haha! Because I think it is important to recognize your own limitations, I have asked fellow user Locutus to handle the game's sounds. For the moment, the game is equipped with only a few temporary sounds which are only there to help Locutus play around with different possibilities. A recent issue with his external hard drive has slowed him down, but I'm sure we will eventually get some great stuff to replace the current sounds. For the most part, the decisions about what sounds to have is being left in his capable hands. I will simply change around code to fit whatever he comes up with. That's a rather long way, of me saying, I can't answer your question because I put someone else in charge of that decision, lol. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Battlezone is one of the first and most major projects undertaken by one of our own forum members using the newly released Blastbay game toolkit One day while piecefully out shopping You are suddenly kidnapped by some mad individual and an endless hoard of very violent employees. Luckily, you have a gun, sword, some exploding booby traps and even an automatic machine gun stashed in your shopping bag (you can't be too careful), so you set about breaking out of the kidnapper's clutches, doing as much damage as possible. Thus begins a fast action, high speed side scrollin adventure taking you from the enemy's lab, past hoards of very angry minians, bottomless pits, stabbing blades, rolling boulders, fireballs, on rushing cars and of course some of this mysterious kidnappers maniacal henchmen as bosses. it's not all bad though, you'll be able to spend your points to replenish supplies, and if your quick enough be able to grab some of the falling items to help you through this parade of nastiness. The game uses ms Sapi to be self voicing and contains a variety of music and sound effects (including many taunts), different ambience for the various levels and non stop action, this is deffinately worth a try, particularly sinse developement is ongoing and new nasties and extra levels are being added continuously (at the current 13 stages, it's already a pretty monstrous game, especially considdering that it's completely free). Just remember that because battlezone was created with the free version of bgt, you'll need that installed on your machine in order to run the game.

The thing that happenned in the game made me laugh, and I think it will make all of you laugh too. I had 2 or 3 male and 5 or 6 female characters, most of whom were pregnant most of the time. So probably most of the children had same fathers. :) Here we come to the point. No prostitution, no condom production. But the families. I don't know if it would be possible to implement. When a woman is pregnant and the child is born, the father should be announced too, and the boys, when grow up, would take the current job of their father, and the girls could take the current job of the mother. The jobs, of course, could later be changed, but this would make the game more interesting than when everyone by default becomes a peasant. Then, the children of the knights should by default become the knights without the possibility to change the job, and a child of a knight father and a knight mother should have a special ability...

Re: [Audyssey] Suggestion for Castaways
Hi, Actually, Fusion is not a Windows emulator. They are installing Windows into a virtual machine and run Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 side by side with Mac OS as a guest operating system via Fusion. This isn't the same thing as actually running the game directly from Mac OS itself. I can make the same argument that your games run on Linux because of VM Player or Virtualbox. However, what I'd really be saying is a person still needs to purchase Windows, install it on a virtual drive, and run it as a guest OS of Linux. That's not exactly the same as running it on Linux itself. As you can probably see this is the issue people are getting at when they talk about running game x on Mac OS or Linux. In addition to the OS they already have you expect them to install Fusion, Virtualbox, whatever and spend $125 or more for a copy of Windows to install it side by side with the op on the machine. Not exactly an ideal setup as it cost as much money to maintain a Windows setup using Fusion or whatever as it is to go out and buy a computer with Windows on it for that same purpose. I don't know how much experience you have with VM software but it is not an emulator. VM software is simply software that creates a virtual drive, a swap file in most cases, where the guest operating system gets installed. To run the guest operating system you start the VM software, tell it which virtual OS to load, and it boots into that OS, and runs it on top of the host operating system. Doing this requires quiet a bit of processor power, memory, and drive space as you end up running both operating systems in memory at the same time.

Re: [Audyssey] A suggestion for Castaways
Hi, I whole heartedly agree. I've often wondered when a woman in the game gets pregnant who the father is so I can assign his sons to help out with the father's job just as was done for centuries. A farmer's son became a farmer, a weaver's son became a weaver, a blacksmith's son became a blacksmith, and so on. Daughters could help out with the mother's chores or jobs.

The thing that happenned in the game made me laugh, and I think it will make all of you laugh too. I had 2 or 3 male and 5 or 6 female characters, most of whom were pregnant most of the time. So probably most of the children had same fathers. :) Here we come to the point. No prostitution, no condom production. But the families. I don't know if it would be possible to implement. When a woman is pregnant and the child is born, the father should be announced too, and the boys, when grow up, would take the current job of their father, and the girls could take the current job of the mother. The jobs, of course, could later be changed, but this would make the game more interesting than when everyone by default becomes a peasant. Then, the children of the knights should by default become the knights without the possibility to change the job, and a child of a knight father and a knight mother should have a special ability...

Re: [Audyssey] farm management in castaways
Yeah. Because in the last couple games I've been playing I've actally been trying to make more use of wine and things like that. But they kept focusing on veetables and wheat. My problem is that by the time I get a steady food supply coming in the gobblins have gotten too close for me to have enough time to forge enough metal bars for te barracks, so no soldiers to defend everybody, let alone any knights. I guess I just haven't figured out a workable order yet. BTW, what's the real difference between a knight and a soldier, aside from the fact that knights can't have other jobs?

For the moment, the game is equipped with only a few temporary sounds which are only there to help Locutus play around with different possibilities. A recent issue with his external hard drive has slowed him down, but I'm sure we will eventually get some great stu ff to replace the current sounds. For the most part, the decisions about what sounds to have is being left in his capable hands. I will simply change around code to fit whatever he comes up with.

Re: [Audyssey] Suggestion for Castaways
Hi Jeremy, Ah, I do see the problem. Its an easy mistake to make when most people, sad to say, don't know the difference between a virtual machine and a Windows emulator. Glad we got that all straightened out now. :D Speaking of Windows emulators though I did manage to get Castaways to work with wine 1.3 for Linux. I installed the VB 6 runtimes, installed DirectX, and the Open Sapi installer for wine. It works, but it would be nice if it defaulted to Sapi in a case like that as I had to tab around and get Sapi working blind as Windows screen readers will not work via Windows emulators like wine.
