Re: Progress blastbay games? Hello everyone,  especially Philip.I discovered this topic today and could not stop participating by expressing My sincere thanks to him for his brilliant work.Philip, I had emailed you about this for some time, but I understand that it is Very busy and so have

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Hello Philip.So I found a link on twitter that someone posted about BGT and 3d audio. From this link, you can download a package that actually uses 3d audio for surround sound in your games. But you would have to incorporate these tools in your games

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? You could dynamically load various libraries if available, providing the user with a function that returns the addresses of those callbacks or null. I used to kind of agree about the audio libraries needing to be lightweight, but have recently come

Re: Progress blastbay games? @camlorn: For the Python bindings I use two scripts called h2xml and xml2py. They generate ctype bindings. I havent done any testing yet, though, so cannot verify how well they work.Regarding format support, we deliberately exclude that from the core

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? @camlorn: There is absolutely no problem writing some higher level layers on top of the engine that import libraries on the fly, but the core engine should not have anything to do with specific file formats - it should deal directly with raw samples

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Well we are all glad to at least hear from you Philip. So thank you for at least posting. And we look forward to more details about BGT because that is such a cool game development engine. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=203187#p203187

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Yeah camlern, the only way youll get elias to work is if you have a professional musician or you have a lot of time on your hand with a midi keyboard and a synthesizer. You can buy premade music from the Elias company. When I went on the web site 4 or 5 months

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? @Philip, your decision is understandaable, and Im very pleased to hear your not quitting audio game development altogether, even if your just going to be carrying on as and when. The small size of the community is indeed a problem, and much as we dont like

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Hi,Yeah phillip, sorry to see you stop developing audiogames comersially, but I understand. Would it be possible to hear the storyline of parilous hearts if your not going to be working on it anymore or put out the source code for others to tinker with? Just

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? @camlorn: The main challenge when it comes to integration is not getting audio out of it, its feeding the audio sources into it. In the examples that I provide as part of the distribution, I use the decoding capabilities of each respective audio library to get

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? As I remember the Elias manual, you call a function and it gives you audio. If this is true, integration with Libaudioverse requires merely the construction of a custom node and a conversion from signed 16-bit short to signed 32-bit floating point

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? As for Elias, well, if I can buy music for it directly that might be something. Given the number of people around here who are willing to put $99 into their development efforts, the pool of other people using that music is probably almost zero anyway. I still

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Hello Philip,Its nice to hear from you. I was wondering if you might end up discovering this topic.As someone who has been active in the Audiogame player community since 2004, it has been nice to watch your company grow from pb-games to blastbay over the years

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Thank you, Aaron! Ive had lots of fun making games over the years, and while I wont be doing it as a business anymore I will still be putting out the occasional tidbit every now and then.Kind regards,Philip Bennefall URL: http://forum.audiogames.net

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? @camlorn: The time and effort required to integrate Elias in a new engine is a problem that we are currently trying to address, because it limits adoption among developers. In the latest package that you can find on the website I have included some ready to use

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? O, yeah. Perhaps its worth actually letting the user use Libaudioverse as a decoder on account that Ill eventually have to talk to all the OS APis. Have you considered integrating ogg yourself? Shouldnt be very hard, though other formats lead down the road

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Hello,I think what Coltons trying to say is hes probably encountered too many blind folks who just crack games unfortunately. Im not surprised that its made him angry, at least thats what the tone of the message looks like. I dont think thats the reason

Re: Progress blastbay games? I keep trying to reply, and I keep going off on a tangent about crowdfunding. Suffice it to say, weve been going about it the same way forever, and it clearly isnt working. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=203118#p203118

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Hi all,I just discovered this topic by accident and figured I would send a quick reply, so that people arent left wondering.To begin, I would like to say that I have had a lot of fun making audio games. It has been a hobby for me for many years. Thats how

Re: Progress blastbay games? Diego,Yeah, hes busy with the Elias music engine that should make games sound a lot better.Are you looking to add dynamic, adaptive music to your next title? Check out the Elias music engine!http://www.eliassoftware.com/ URL: http://forum.audiogames.net

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Im sorry if Philip has quit audio game design. While it is understandable, his work will be missed, its just so scummy that such a talented developer has to sell his work to the scuzzy fat cat mainstream devs who dont give a rats rear end about access

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Hes still working on improvements to BGT in his off time. Last I heard, his primary project was the ELIAS engine, which mainstream companies are very interested in. (Apparently, BGT should have at least some ELIAS support soon, which sounds like fun). URL

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? I think that it is possible to do better than Swamp, as Swamp appeals only to a pretty narrow audience, can take some know-how to get running and has basically no PR outside this forum. But the only way to turn a real, continuous profit with audiogames

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Dude, Colton I know your financial conditions dont allow you to buy games. Dont jump right to the never sell stuff to the blind community aditude, because thats not necessarily true I for one pay for audiogames, and well, we cant really control what you do

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Look, Im just gonna say it here, if youre gonna sell to the blind, dont make it payed, because youre gonna get cracked. Us blindies want everything free, and we dont care about payed games, we just crack them or hate them. URL: http://forum.audiogames.net

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? @coltonhill01, speak for yourself, if that is us blindies then consider me to not be a blindy. If that is your attitude you deserve to have no good games developed sinse why should! a developer work hard for free games for such grasping individuals

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Nope, if there had been such new releases they have been reported. It is actually a long time sinse weve last heard from philip, and while obviously no developer can give release dates or say when theyll next have something, just popping in and saying hi

Re: Progress blastbay games?

Re: Progress blastbay games? Well, I dont know if it is true that Philip is out of the audio games development market completely, but what I can say is that he was really disappointed in the fact there is no way to make money at it. That is why he has turned his talents towards creating
