Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world The reason I asked, is because my understanding of coding is that you have to be extremely precise about what goes on each line.  A friend told me if one character is out of place, the whole code is worthless.  Maybe because I prefer Braille over

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world @53 I wouldn't say that's not right, you need to find your own way to work just like we all do. If you feel like you aren't doing well with a screen reader, then you might try using a display, it's all what makes you tick and not anyone else, each

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world Learning to code and learning a language are not the same thing.Learning a language is learning the syntax for the various instructions that that program has.Like print "Hello world" In python, or system.print("hello world"); in j

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world you can find hundreds of writers, but it's harder to find a fine coder, and if you have no coder, the project will get no where. This is actually the huge problem, especially if you don't know how to even write a basic code. I have loads of game ideas

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world Right, agreed, python or C, or pure basic just to get that cross platform compatibility. My thing is, I would want the coders to be as equally dedicated to the project as the story writers, etc, that way it comes out phenominal. I think

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world Yeah, I forgot to post this before in my above post since I got caught up in real time vs turn based systems, cough cough. The game you're describing here sounds a lot like a virtual reality, which is great, but Aprone is right. knowing how to program

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world You should probably reconsider turn based combat at least. Real time fighting in an audiogame isn't the best of ideas. It works in games like swamp and such, but doing that kind of coding for projectiles and hit code is rough, you save a lot more

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world Especially since this game is intended to be free, I don't think hiring programmers is going to work out.It will make me unpopular to do this, but I'm going to share a few tips to help give this game idea a reality check, to hopefully help it move

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world @Aprone, +1 for having the guts to be the "bad guy" and give a reality check.I've been thinking similar things since the thread showed up, but was not willing to be the bad guy.You've shared valuable information for people who are ser

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world Aprone: That was exactly what I was thinking, but I couldn't find the words to say all this... I have had ideas for games for like 15 years, but nothing comes out of it, because I can't code... URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world @aprone, that was exactly the sort of thing I was thinking, but I didn't want to say it for feer of being too harsh. Unfortunitly, this is precycely one of the reasons why I turned the opertunity down. I've been told that i'm quite a tallanted person

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world Here's something to consider.While I'm not a programmer, I do know that picking one language over another won't make it easy to port to other platforms, asuming you want to go down that rout in future.You would need to maintain two separate builds

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world In my experience, it depends on the coder. It took me 3 years to get up to where i'm at, I started with bgt but graduated to pure basic after almost a year. But that's mainly because I had a lot, almost too much of free time on my hands. For some

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world Ok, everyone's talking about coding here, so I have a couple of questions.1.  Is it difficult to learn?  In other words, could I learn the basics in a month, or would it take years?2.  Can you learn to code using only a screen reader, or would you

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world The gamebook software is not what you can use to make audiogames, especially the type you plan. You can still use it as a lay out, if you know how, though. I use that for my gamebook project too. Really wish Aprone could add some more features

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world If I did this it'd be in bgt, first all I know and second it could probably do what we would need it to do. But please let's try not to get into a conversation of what programing language is the best for this thing. Like I said, would love to help

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world hmm, is all I've got. I don't think the people who code around here do that sort of thing, maybe this isn't the place to search, but I would hope someone would because this is somthing I'd like. But everyone's got their own projects. This might

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world I have about 50gb of sounds uselessly lying on my external harddirve collecting dust, and there are a lot in there which I could probably use for a game like this. I can't do awesome and badass eddeting like other people do to make their sound files

Re: audio-based medieval virtual world I'm glad you have sounds, and maybe I could use them. I too have about a whole two terabyte hard drive full of sounds as well, but I'm looking to make this world sound epic, like you're actually living in it. I was also thinking of Philip Bennefalls
