Below is the send space link to the rules for an old classic game called Dungeon! by TSR. Essentially up to six layers use heros to wander around a dungeon, fighting monsters and gathering treasure and magic items. The rules include two versions of the game, the basic and expert. In the basic everyone is the same, and requires 20,000 gp to win the game. In the expert version, the players choose between warrior, wizard, thief, paladin, dwarf and elf. Each has it's own pros and cons and these may also ambush each other, or work cooperatively to fight strong monsters. My hope is that someone would read thru the rules and discover that it can be made into an audio game. The link for downloading the .rtf file is below.

Re: [Audyssey] Redistributing RPG Source Books
I was just wondering which star wars rules you were talking about. The old west end games or the d20 star wars. Just out of curiosity and not much else.

The reason I ask is because I have a number of source books for the Star Wars roll playing game I'm in the process of converting to text or html. Once I'm done scanning and editing the source books I'd like to redistribute them to other blind gamers, but am not clear where I stand legally. I could submit them to Bookshare.org to have them converted to Daisy format, which would be one way of legally redistributing them, but most of the gamers here live outside the US so don't qualify for Bookshare. Therefore while submitting the scanned copies to Bookshare would be the legal thing to do it defeats the purpose of trying to redistribute them to other blind gamers here who might wish to join me in getting a weekly Star Wars roll playing game going similar to what Phil and others do with Dungeons and Dragons. So what i've been thinking of doing is zipping them and hosting them on the USA Games website, but I believe in order to legally distribute them they have to be in some specific accessibility format like Dasy and can't be in an all purpose format like text or html which I feel is more accessible than Daisy. Can anyone shed any light on this? Thanks. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

In around the year 2000 I bought a cd which contained word documents of all the old DD 2nd edition books in order to start tabletop rping, however of course once I started i found that 3rd edition had replaced 2nd. I then wrote a letter to wizards of the coast asking if they sold any accessible versions of the DD 3rd ed books, explaining that I was a blind person and so couldn't read their printed copies. Their entire response was as follows: Dear Mr. Hewitt. We have no plans at this time or in the future of producing electronic copies of our works. Thank you for your interest. yours sincerely etc etc Well, thanks a Heap! I therefore had to muddle along somewhat cadging rules from the Gm, which wasn't too much fun. Luckily, drivethru rpg now sell a lot of books in pdf form which mostly convert to text, so I have several source books for games. If however they aren't available there or in any other accessible form, my feeling these days is that I have no respect for a law which does nothing but promote corporate interest and money grabbing stupidity over any sort of fair access. So, myself I suggest you just stick them on the site anyway. You could protect your back slightly by having them available only on request when someone mails you (perhaps have a page about the group and a mail for more information type of link where you send the books), or having a specific access related password to the archive which you send out by mail on request, thus insuring that not just anybody can come along and grab them. However if they aren't as equally available to visually impared people as anyone else, then you have every right to redistribute them. I would however suggest you check drivethrurpg first, just in case they are! available as pdfs.

Re: [Audyssey] entombed question
Hi, spoiler warning... the goblin card is random, it usually is given when fighting goblins in the goblin stronghold I think. the crystal card is given when the drake is defeated for the first time. the plague card is byable from the bazaar under special items for 2000 trade coins. Only problem is that if you get the plague card after getting other cards, you lose all the cards and have to get them all over again. The adventurer card is given when you combine thief and wanderer on the primary character. the druid is gained thru the joining of cleric and ranger for the primary character.

Thanks, al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Thursday, July 05, 2012 3:35 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] iPhone apps and blind programmers Hi Allan, I certainly have considered writing games for Apple iOS devices given their popularity, but its not as simple or straight forward as you might think. First, in order to develop software for iOS devices like the iPhone a person must own a Mac, have the Apple development tools, and the iOS SDK.Since a decent MacBook is going to cost a developer say $1,200 for the computer hardware required for development and software its an expensive investment. Second,iOS apps are almost exclusively written in a language called Object C. Its a language I'm not really familiar with, and I would imagine every blind audio game developer is in the same boat. Point being any audio game developer thinking of writing games for iOS needs to spend time learning their proprietary language for their proprietary OS, using their proprietary tools. Finally, if that isn't enough, every game written for iOS must be reviewed by a board who will approve or decline the app's acceptance into the Apple app store. As Liam so recently found out if it doesn't meet very specific standards a person could end up spending a lot of time and money and still have it rejected by Apple in the end for reason x.So at this point I don't think its worth my time or money investing in the iOS platform from a feasibility standpoint. If I were going to develop games for a mobile platform I would strongly consider Android. For one thing it has very open standards, uses the Open Java specification, and accept for some specific graphics toolkits etc Android is very easy to work with. Googles standards are much more relaxed than Apple, and its possible to use off the shelf tools and applications to develop and port apps from Windows and Linux directly to Android. A developer doesn't necessarily have to own an Android phone to test out the apps because its possible to run Android OS in a virtual machine where its not possible to run iOS inside a virtual machine for development purposes.

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

Re: [Audyssey] Scansoft Realspeak Voices and 64-bit Windows

Good job! al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2012 12:45 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Scansoft Realspeak Voices and 64-bit Windows Hi everyone, I thought I would just send you a quick message on a very interesting development that will effect Windows 7 64-bit users. As many of you know the copy of the Sapi 5 compatible Realspeak voices that shipped with Jaws 8, 9, and 10 will not install on Windows 7. The issue is that Freedom Scientific set a launch condition in the setup installer to fail if running a 64-bit computer, but the voices themselves work fine on Windows 7 if you get passed that error message. So what I've done is built a new Microsoft Setup Installer for the voices, installed them on a 64-bit computer, and am able to use them with NVDA as well as Jim Kitchens games. So the good news is it is possible to use the Sapi 5 compatible version of Tom, Caren, Lee, Daniel, Emily, etc on Windows 7. The bad news is redistributing my setup installer would be technically illegal so I can't just casually redistribute my copy. What I'm thinking of doing here is creating a patch so you could copy your Realspeak disc to your computer, copy my patch over to the setup installer, and run it to install the voices on your system. This would legally cover my backside as I wouldn't redistribute the cab file with the voice data but only the *.msi file which launches the setup. I was wondering how many people would be interested in this patch so they could continue to use the Scansoft Realspeak voices on more modern Windows machines for games, screen readers, etc?

[Audyssey] godville game
Hi Gang, This game is kind of hard to explain. Essentially, the player has the role of a diety over a automated hero who goes on Mud like quests to kill monsters, loot theier bodies and increase in levels, equipment and skills. The player actually only has the power, if they wish, to interact with the hero thru using a limited amount of power to positively or negatively influence their minion. As the minion increases in power, so does the players ability to influence and use their minion to go on quests, build a temple, go to the arena to duel other player's minions, spar with other players minions without consequences or reward, and probably a whole lot of other things as well. The game is free, and can be played on a web browser, or on an IOS product using voice over, and I think also android products but unsure. When it comes to the web browser, some of the buttons and controls are wonky. Playing around with the virtual cursor to get to the punishment button, and trying to activate artifacts has been problematic but not unsurmountable. On the iPhone 4s, everything worked really well with voice over. One last thing. You have to register. While it is free, the registration process requires the input from one of those hateful capta things. Both my son who is sighted, and myself trying to use the audio one found it very difficult and it took a bit to get registered. That was on the web browser however, using a laptop, windows xp sp3 and jaws 11.and internet explorer 8. I am not sure how easy or hard registering on the iPhone is. It does require apple id of course, and the game center as well, but that was about it from what I could tell.

Infiltrating the Borg or having dinner with Deanna Troi are just a few of things that could soon become a (virtual) reality with some help from a team based at the University of Southern California. Project Holodeck is exactly what it sounds like -- a very serious effort to make the iconic virtual-reality room from Star Trek an actual reality. Unlike on the U.S.S. Enterprise, where Lt. Cmdr. Data might just stroll into a wild west casino in his regular uniform with no extra equipment, Project Holodeck relies on an Oculus Rift headset for visuals, PlayStation Move for head tracking, and the Razer Hydra to monitor body movements. The current holodeck room is at least a little bit interactive, as well, with fans who are jacked into the system to simulate wind. The team is also developing a game to show off the setup called Wild Skies, which will require players to fly an airship and also engage in a little combat using swords and guns. They plan to go on the road with their Holodeck system, hitting venues like Maker Faire in the near future. Until then, you can see the system in action in the video below -- this early demo features footage from the Sega Dreamcast game Skies of Arcadia, which Wild Skies seems to be roughly modeled on. Sadly, Cmdr. Troi is nowhere to be seen in this one. http://www.projectholodeck.com/ --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] working Holodeck game
What?! I thought USA Games was already building a holodeck prototype! grin. I just love the idea of something like that. It wouldn't be for just games though. It could help in some situations dealing with mental stress like PTSD. I watched a show a while back that immersed soldiers suffering from this in a holodeck like simulation of combat. Apparently, being put into that situation again, and letting the soldiers respond in that simulation allowed them to get past the stress and anxiety, effectively curing them. So a holodeck like in Star trek could do wonders for people beyond games...although I would just love it for the games lol. al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] godville game
Hey Tom, I tend to be suspicious of anything new or diffrent since going blind. I have had situations come up all the time in the past that caused me large headaches due to an accessible program or game becoming suddenly unaccessible. So I have simply stuck to that which works and haven't gone crazy with upgrades, updates and the like. Maybe not the best way to move forward, but like you said, I am kind of comfortable now with what I got, and probably won't upgrade to something if there is no real need to. Thank you for explaining about firefox though. I did notice something called a godville UI offered during a google search and I think firefox was mentioned that went with it or was needed for it. Maybe I will check out firefox and see what that Ui is all about.

Re: [Audyssey] working Holodeck game
Hi Dakotah, I couldn't agree with you more. Very well said indeed. My only comment when it comes to Matrix style brain gaming is that I think safety measures would be put in that would prevent most of the problems that might arise with normal person usage. For the disabled however, I can see it becoming very addictive and popular, if ever it happened. I mean, a paralyzed person would feel whole again, a blind person could see, deaf could hear, etc and so forth. Why would anyone disabled leave such an environment for reality? I guess I am talking beyond games to interconnectivity of brain with a computer simulation or even with others linked in. al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: Dakotah Rickard To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2012 1:29 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] working Holodeck game Responding directly to the trans-cranial attachments, it would be tremendously addictive. There's been more than a little speculative fiction about virtual reality and its effect on human psychology. I personally hope it doesn't come about for a long time, if ever, that virtual gaming is that compelling. I've already heard of some cases where people have been catheterized so that they can continue gaming uninterrupted. Imagine, then, the disorders and disfunctions caused by a perfect virtual simulation constructed and played out in your own mind. Returning slightly to a topic I touched on, I do think that there are levels and levels of perspective, as I spoke about in my previous post. It would be foolish to assume everyone's perspective is the same. There is an argument that those who have been blind for the duration of their lives have a different perspective on blindness than do those who have gotten used to being blind. This is not to say that either perspective is superior, just that they both exist, and it is not an exclusively singular perspective we're dealing with. A person who was taught to hate blindness and being blind will respond poorly to it as compared with a person who was taught that blindness is like godhood. I give ludicrous examples to make a point. The plain facts are that our perspectives determine our reality. If that perspective was molded through adolescence to be that of a sighted individual, and if most sighted people feel that losing their sight would be worse than losing any other sense, which tends to be the case, then a sighted person going blind in later adolescence or beyond would feel differently about the loss of their sight than a person would if they lost it earlier in life. There are many activities, whether they be games, fencing, building a house, or cooking a meal, which consistently require the same effort and the same modifications dependent on skill, ability, and perception, and there are activities which require more effort for those who lose their sight later on and activities which require more effort when sight is lost early. This suggests differences in the psychological makeup of the person, let alone possible physical brain differences. There are also activities which the sighted person will find easier to do or conceptualize than will blind individuals. In some cases, this is because sighted persons make the majority of the products and services in the world. In some other cases it is because sight allows for obtainment of visual data and that the brain is more properly equipped to make decisions based on visual data. I'm not spouting nonsense. I'm putting forth fact. But my basic point remains the same throughout. SOme people can do some things better. Others do other things better. Hence diversity, hence an interesting world.

Re: [Audyssey] a bone to pick
Hi, Does it cost to use yahoo or google groups? I seem to recall the list got changed from one of these but I don't recall the reason why. al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2012 6:32 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] a bone to pick Hi Darren, Well, there are a few good reasons for not increasing the message size to 20 KB. First, is financial. Whoever maintains the Audyssey domain, server, and list will have to pay for extra bandwidth being used by the list. The larger the messages the more bandwidth it will take for Mailman to post several copies of the same message. That cost will directly effect the guy who is paying for the Audyssey domain, bandwidth, etc. That happens to be Raul, but there has been discussion of turning the list over to me so I can just put it on the same service plan as my USA Games account. Therefore the cost would be my responsibility. Second, is that the larger the size of the messages the more time it will take Mailman to post that message to everyone on the list. I realise an extra 10 KB doesn't sound like much on the surface, but is actually quite a lot if you sit down and do the math. For example, let us say that 50 messages are posted to the list on a daily basis. At 10 KB that will equal something like 0.5 MB coming into Mailman. Now, Mailman has to copy and repost all 50 messages to 300 list members which adds up to something like 150 MB in messages going out. Now, let's add an additional 10 KB of length to all 50 messages and watch our output go from 150 MB per day to 300 MB per day. That's something like 9 to 10 GB a month in messages alone. That's a dramatic increase that Mailman has to handle when we can cut that in half by limiting the message length to 10 KB. Finally,increasing the size doesn't resolve the initial problem being discussed here. Allen wanted to know if a message was rejected can he get his original message back. The answer is no, because the software doesn't support that option. Therefore if a message is 21 KB in size and the maximum length is 20 KB someone is still likely to complain about the fact they lost their original message simply because he or she didn't trim the message in the first place. So increasing the length from 10 KB to 20 KB would not resolve the issue being discussed and would add additional problems for the list moderators and maintainers in the process. Cheers!

Outlook, Thunderbird, Udora, etc use message rules to sort incoming messages by subject, e-mail address, etc according to the criteria yougive it in the message rules.

However, you can't apply message rules to an outgoing message as far as I know. If you are concerned about message length one way to resolve this problem is write your message in something like Windows Notepad and save it. If the file is less than 10 KB then you know it is fine. If you get a text file that is larger than 10 KB then you need to try and trim it down. Of course, we realize there are certain cases such as the Audyssey Magazine, a news letter, a game walkthrough, where this isn't possible to make the message any smaller and Damien and I are usually able to sort out the legit long message from one where the author simply hit the reply button, typed a response, and hit send without editing or trimming the contents.

[Audyssey] Tactical Battles update announcement
Below is Ian Reed's announcement he posted int he audiogames forum... Hi all! It's been a while since my last release. I've been quite distracted with my day job and with Aprone's swamp and Dentin's Alter Aeon but now I'm refocused on Tactical Battle. I've been working hard on new features for map creators and even spent an entire week of vacation plus the surrounding weekends just working on updates to the game. There's been an email chain going on between a few map creators and myself. There are some exciting maps in the works using themes from Star wars, Star Trek, Modern military, zombie horror and RedWall Abbey. There's been a complete rewrite of the point system and I've added new damage types, structures, regions, stackable units and a new movement system to name a few. I've also created a mailing list for those who really want to be in the know. Some of the benefits of joining the mailling list are: 1 Access to developer versions of the game so you can try out map creation features without waiting for the next full version. 2 Find out about the latest features so your maps can take advantage of them. 3 Let me know which features you'd like to see implemented and help me decide how to prioritize them. 4 Access to the latest maps and the ability to give feedback to the map creators to help shape the final outcome. To subscribe to the mailing list you can use the form in the Joining the community section of the BlindAudioGames.com website or simply send an email to: ian-reeds-games-requ...@freelists.org with the word subscribe in the subject line. All in all this is a huge release for map creators. If you have some existing maps and need help converting them please join the mailing list or email me at supp...@blindaudiogames.com. I don't want all the new changes to stop anyone's maps from getting converted to the new system. As always you can download the latest version of the game at http://BlindAudioGames.com It includes: 1 Updated versions of my Getting Started maps. 2 A brand new Conquering Redwall Abbey map series by KeyWasFull. 3 Austen's Kingdom at war maps converted to the new system. If you find issues in Austen's maps let us know, but be forgiving. He had to do some major conversions to get them into the new system. KeyWasFull plans on adding more sounds for his maps but is suffering from a recent hard drive crash and a loss of most of his sounds. Here's the complete list of changes for Tactical Battle version 1.10: 1 names of units to be defeated in the victory conditions can now include underscores. 2 Removing the defend_enabled flag from default map flags now removes the defend skill and also no longer crashes when the AI runs. (obsolete now) 3 Added a no_self_cast flag for skills. This can be used on skills that have the friendly flag but are not meant for the caster to use on themselves. 4 Added a fly flag for effects so you can add an effect to a unit to allow them to fly while the effect lasts. 5 Added a remove_effects= flag on skills that works just like the effects= flag except that it removes effects rather than adding them. 6 Effects that deal end of turn damage and are applied to units rather than tiles will now cause the damage as expected. (obsolete in the old system though the new system works correctly as well) 7 Added new flags to skills that allow you to hint to the AI at how the skill should be used. The flags are ai_heal, ai_buff, ai_curse, ai_tile_curse, ai_attack, ai_defend and ai_move. 8 Fixed a bug that would crash the game if the AI used a skill that resulted in it's own death. 9 Fixed a bug where the game ignored the no_movement flag when it is on an effect applied to a passive skill. 10 Made a huge re-write to the point system. Level creators can now create their own custom points rather than being restricted to the old hard coded HP, MP, and AP. 11 In the new point system there are no hard coded skills such as move, attack and defend. These are now more customizable by the player so that you can have units who can not attack or move for instance. 12 Implemented a death flag on effects which is used in the new point system. 13 Implemented a hide_old_points flag in the map defaults file to remove all the hard coded points and abilities from a new map. (now obsolete) 14 Added the ability to set flags for a skill while in the unit file, this is primarily used to alter how much damage attack does or it's range on a per unit basis as the attack skill is now treated as a normal skill in the new point system. 15 Added a map flag called music that let's you set the music for that map. Music files can be placed in the Music folder of your map pack. 16 Added a skill flag called move_self which is used to support the non-hard coded move skill but can also be used to support teleportation skills. 17 Added a Default unit flags.txt file. 18 Added a new key= flag for skills that allows you to set a hot key for using that skill
[Audyssey] potential customizable RPG game?
Hi all, I just wanted to say that I think this Tactical battles game is not just focused on , well, tactical battles. Don't let the name fool you. The ultimate goal is to make this game a full fledged RPG game engine. One where people, yes, even dumb as rocks people like myself, can finally express their creativeness onto an audible gaming format. I would recommend anyone who wanted to be creative in a new way, or who just wants to see what it is like to edit and customize a game for educational purposes, this may be a good time to check it out. I have been testing it thru it's update and I can help anyone if they desire to experiment. Heck, I would even build a map for you if you wanted, just to help. Well, that's it.

[Audyssey] Tactical Battles 1.12 release update
Here is a post Ian Reed put on the audissey forum for his tactical battles game: Greetings all! I'm releasing Tactical Battle 1.12. It comes with KeyWasFull's new Tomb Robber series, an updated version of his Conquering RedWall Abbey series, and an updated version of Allan Thompson's One shot wonders / Zombie House. And of course my old getting started maps and an example map demonstrating the new items and equipment feature. Some of the highlights of 1.12 have been: random damage and chance to hit, scripting, random sounds, more customizable teams, the new rounds and turns system, effects that cause initial damage or healing just as skills do, effect modifiers that apply to a specific skill rather than all skills, items and equipment, and quite a few smaller but worthwhile features. Hope you all enjoy! Remember the game is free and the mailing list is the place to be if you want to create your own maps or interact with the map creators.

Re: [Audyssey] Tactical Battles 1.12 release update
Hi Paul, I am glad you like the game. I just build maps here and there myself but whether playing or creating a map it is a blast. Unfortunately, you have to download the whole game over again. With the maps included it can be a bit big. Perhaps I could pull my map packs out of the one I downloaded and I can post the link to the new release from send space, it would be a smaller download I imagine. Let me know if you want me to do that. The email list Ian set up is also a good place to start for map creation. Everyone is pretty helpful, and Ian does a lot of developing in between releases that gets playtested and the like. al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: Paul Lemm To: 'Gamers Discussion list' Sent: Monday, February 11, 2013 4:54 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Tactical Battles 1.12 release update --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Tactical Battles 1.12 release update
Hi Paul, Correct, I got one in there. It is called One shot wonders/zombie house. One shot wonders is is a joke since it only uses the one zombie house map. Most campaigns feature more then one. I based the map very loosely on the old black and white romero classic, the night of the living dead. The plot is simple. Some satellite falls to earth and starts emitting wacky zombie creating radiation. Hence forth, the world is plagued by brain eating undead. You play the survivors, four pros with guns, and about eight or nine generic survivors who have to search around for items to help them fight off the zombie horde. Also there is a house in the middile of the map which can be used to hold off the horde...for a little while anyway. I hope you enjoy it. Also be sure to check out the others maps as well, on the web site are map packs that are works in progress, but feature everything from fantasy, spaceships to christmas themes. Also if you have any suggestions or thoughts or complaints about any maps I make let me know. I am always willing to make the maps I make better. al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: Paul Lemm To: 'Gamers Discussion list' Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 2:24 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Tactical Battles 1.12 release update --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

As mentioned before this game is a wrestling game written by a wrestling fan for wrestling fans and restricting certain performers would be counter productive in its intent. For example, I grew up in the 1980's and have many fond memories of Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Brett Hart, etc from the early days of their wrestling careers. Now, assuming this is a game for wrestling fans it stands to reason I should be able to pull up a list of performers I want to wrestle and have the opportunity to be able to select two classic performers like Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage and reconstruct a match from the 1980's without restrictions. It would make little to no sense at all to me to pick a performer off of the current roster like John Cena, have him wrestle x number of matches, just to unlock certain performers that I might happen to want to play. This is in my opinion exactly the kind of differences that come up between a true fan of the sport and just a gamer. Gamers are looking for something extra, some un lockable content, something extra that makes the game just another fighting game. A fan, such as myself, needs no unlockable content to make the game enjoyable and in fact might find certain restrictions get in the way of his or her enjoyment. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Help Naming a Wrestling Game
Hi Tom, That is perfectly fine with me. I just wasn't sure how it would be played since I have never played pile driver, nor heard about it till now. Sounds fun! al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Monday, March 04, 2013 2:42 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Help Naming a Wrestling Game Hi Al, The game is essentially a turn based menu driven game much like Piledriver for Dos is. In case you don't know what I mean by that here is a basic idea of how it works. You have a menu of various types of moves such as Aerial, Brawling, Dirty, Grappling, Submission, Throws, and Finishers. Let's say for example you select Brawling. A new menu of options will appear such as Big Boot, Missile Dropkick, European Uppercut, Knee Lift, and so on. You select European Uppercut and your wrestler attempts to hit the computer opponent with an uppercut. If the move is successful the opponent will be stunned or knocked down to the mat. If it fails the computer opponent will be allowed to attempt to attack you with a move of its own. This will continue back and forth until a wrestler is pinned or submits. Now, there are two reasons why I didn't create a real time fighting game like Mortal Kombat as you suggest. First, is I don't have the money to purchase a library of sound effects for every potential wrestler, for every single move, and so on. Second, is there are so many different wrestling moves that it would be impossible to program keyboard commands for every single possibility. Even if I did so it would be difficult to remember each and every possible command. So I chose to keep the same game play as Piledriver, but added some sounds and music to it as well as Sapi support.

Re: [Audyssey] Help Naming a Wrestling Game
Wow, Tom, that sounds awesome! This isn't so much a suggestion as a question. Are you going to bother with tag teams? They still have tage teams, right? This is perhaps a suggestion, see what you think... What makes wrestling what it is is not just the matches themselves but the drama in between matches. So maybe, as an optional setting, one could select drama where between matches interesting events could happen that might or might not affect stats for a wrestler. I see it as a things like: player's wrestler gets attacked from behind in the back rooms! He thinks it was next wrestler to fight. As a result he is a little less coordinated. or During an interview, player wrestler got squirted in the eyes with burning hot coffee by next challenger, He is ok, but his rage has increased to new levels of extreme danger and of course... Players wrestler girlfriend/lucky trunks/manager/favorite truck got stolen, and now he is distracted throwing off his focus for the upcoming belt! It wouldn't be anything too major, just adding or subtracting or even just doing nothing but entertaining so that the feel of the wrestling shows I used to watch would be there . al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Adventure Game Engine release with Shadowgate adventure
Below is a trimmed version of Ian Reed's post to the audio forums about a new release of the Adventure Game Engine which features a great new adventure. Post is below. ***begin message*** Hi everyone, It's been ages since I've released a new version of the adventure game engine. For quite some time Nina0116 has been working on the ShadowGate adventure which is a port from ShadowGate for the original Nintendo. I'm happy to announce that Nina0116 has completed the adventure and now you can try it for yourselves. I want to give a big thanks to Nina0016 as the engine has been a bit of a pain to work with and Nina's feedback and willingness to trudge forward despite the engine's problems have really served to improve the engine. The game can be downloaded from http://BlindAudioGames.com I hope you all enjoy Nina's hard work. You can contact Nina0116 on the AudioGames.net forum on this thread: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=127170#p127170 Ian Reed ***end message*** The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Brief Description of Shadow Gate
Hi Guys, For all those who might be interested, I want to give a brief description of the game, how it works, and a little about the awesome new adventure called Shadow Gate. AGE, or Adventure Game Engine, allows those with a desire, to make their own menu driven adventure games. It is free, with a simple registration process. The new update has made the game engine more user friendly for game creation. The game menu itself consists of the normal menu items like: Go, take, use, select, inspect, inventory, talk and things of that nature. Shadow Gate is about taking the role of an adventurer who is tasked to go forth and defeat an evil warlock who is attempting to summon forth a dread beast to conquer the world. It is filled with puzzles, wierd magical rooms, learning magic spells and plenty of exploration, not to mention a little humor. One of the interesting things about the adventure is that you need to keep an eye out for unlit torches. If your current burning torch starts to run out, you need to light up a fresh one, so there is an added element of danger. There is also save and load saved games so you can keep your progress thru the adventure and overall it is a real blast. All the music is from the original NES version, which is surprisingly catchy and fitting. If these type of games are something you enjoy, then give it a try. al The truth will set you free Jesus Christ of Nazareth 33A.D. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Adventure Game Engine release withShadowgateadventure
Hi Charles, I think maybe I used IF when really I am talking about text adventures. Since I am not a big fan of either, I used the term to kind of cover it all, so sorry to all for the confusion. So, if that is the case with the cavern game, then I think a text adventure can be recreated on the game engine. Actually, I think I would love to see alot of the more popular text adventure games recreated. Especially Zork. That is one of two text adventure I remember playing. The other was on a friends computer, I think it was quest or dragon quest or maybe kings quest.

Re: [Audyssey] Brief Description of Shadow Gate
Hi Shawn, You might have wanted to put up a spoil alert or something for those who play the game, and didn't want to be given hints. That is the spoil alert for everyone reading this now in fact. If you are playing the shadow gate game and don't want hints, do not read further... Shawn, those things you mentioned were not bugs in the usual sense. There is several degrees of seperation between an atari port of a visually played nes game, and the audio version of the same game on a diffrent platform in an accessible format. There will be diffrences, and this isn't all that unusual. In the sighted world, especially with side scroller games or action games diffrent content will be snuck in for diffrent systems to keep the game fresh and to give incentive to buy the game for those diffrent consoles. For this game, I don't know. Nina might have omitted things out of forgetfulness, or it might have existed in the same way as on the atari port. Either way, those things you mentioned are not bugs. Secondly, the rope does do as you say, but you have to be a little more clever then the atari walkthru to figure it out. Use that sharp mind of yours and check out everything around you, and in your inventory, and you should be able to solve the puzzle. As for the use and select menu choices...ironically I mentioned the same exact thing to Ian a while back. I guess, for the time being, the best way to remember which does what is to think of use as useing it on yourself, or useing something like an unlocked door, or a bridge or even a staircase. Select is usually done when you want to use an item on some element in a room, like a pool, or a monster, or you want to use an item on another item, like a burning torch on an unlit torch. Lastly, yeah, the music is retro. I think it is quaint and takes me back to the nineties, lol.

Re: [Audyssey] Brief Description of Shadow Gate
Hi Shawn, I talked to Nina, and she said that she was only familiar with the NES version of the game. So it is entirely possible that the atari could have had diffrent content, either for keeping the game fresh, or just memory problems. Back then game consoles were no where near the memory capacity of an atari computer, so it could be that some things got cut from the NES, which would make sense. I never played the game before this adaptation, which I regret cause it seemed like it would be alot of fun. Shawn, if you could give me a link to the walkthru, or the walkthru itself, Nina said she wanted to take a look at it, and I am thinking she might want to put the content in the game you mentioned, but that is just my guess, she didn't say one way or the other. She did mention she is going to work on a zork port at some point which I think is going to be really interesting. SPOILER ALERT: Don't read further if you don't want to ruin the game. Shawn, You don't have to drop anything to use the bridge. I playtested the entire map and the bridge can't be used until you are ready to use it. Consider the inventory and objects you find, and notice anything that might seem to have a strange quality when inspected, especially when it might pertain to crossing a chasm with a rickety and dangerous bridge. Honestly, the walkthru is not doing you any favors. Play the game without it, and just work within the boundaries of the game itself, you will have alot more fun.

Re: [Audyssey] Looking For Something New to Play
Hi Tom, God forbid that the audio dependant has to be shuffled into the iPhone as a game platform. Honestly, while I love the iPhone for what it does, I really haven't enjoyed anything in the game department that I thought I had to really have when it came to the IOS apps. Give me a PC any day of the week. Does this mean your wrestling game is hanging on this particular decision? As for new games, there is Tactical Battles and that shadowgate adventure and they are free...I got to check out what Dark mentioned too. Let me rephrase what I said earlier.

I don't mind about the switch not doing anything, but the atary walkthrough made the game harder, dropping sertain things as an alternitive to what is there right now, sertainly a lot more puzzles in the atary walkthroughs the switch was an extra item. My plan tonight is to now I know what the game is supposed to do is follow the atary walkthrough. I like the idea of using the spellbook on things though to be honest I'd like the spellbook to disapear from the inventory and appear in its own menu like spells. for example. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Moreover since I'm an expert at this sort of thing I'll go ahead and answer your questions. Below are your questions and my answers. 1. Do quantum torpedo's work only on borg ships, how much damage do they do compared to a photon? Like double? Are shields effective against quantum's? A quantum torpedo will work on any enemy ship it is fired at. According to the Deep Space 9 technical manual the standard quantum torpedo will do 50 megawatts of damage as apposed to the standard 18 megawatts of a standard photon torpedo. So its almost three times as powerful as a standard photon. 2. what class of ship is the defiant? How does it's gatling phasers compare to a phaser shot from the enterprise D or enterprise E? The Defiant is a Defiant-Class Escort. As with U.S. Navy ships the ships in Star Trek get their class name from the first ship in that class to be built. In this case the U.S.S. Defiant was the first ship in its class to be built and placed in active service. As for the pulse phasers I couldn't find an exact amount of damage for this, but its suppose to deliver about three times the damage of a type x phaser. Since the type x on the Enterprise D does about 5.1 megawatts of shield damage per phaser it must be somewhere between 15 and 16 megawatts of power per shot.. 3. Does anyone have any trek websites with good ship break downs for the famous ships? Mostly crew sizes and clas type. I'll have to look for my old bookmarks file for Firefox, but I had a couple of websites that had copies of the Star Trek technical manuals as well as other related materials that you could read online. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Its not really possible to mix old Trek ships with newer Trek ships as games just can't be balanced out right. The newer classes such as Defiant-Class and the Sovereign-Class make ships like the Enterprise D look like a pile of junk. The main reason is because of races like the Borg and Dominion required newer more advanced designs that just are too powerful when looking at AKlingons, Romulans, Ferengi, and other traditional enemies. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
