Re: I have a deep desire to build higher quality games for blind people.

Re: I have a deep desire to build higher quality games for blind people. I want to riff a bit on Aprones most recent post here, as he represents a sighted developer who has made great strides towards providing audio gaming content that hadnt been realized before. This is not to say that you,

Re: You are stuck in the dungeon of despair!

Re: You are stuck in the dungeon of despair! Interestingly, (or at least to me) this is exactly the problem that makes playing a game like Angband or any of the roguelike games difficult, how to convey complex mapping information in something approaching usable real time. If you look at the

Re: Important moderation message, please read I think were wandering off into the weeds. Dark is not engaged in a Quixotic quest to stop game piracy, he is simply moving to stop up a leak in current policy around forbidden activity *on this site*, which is his responsibility as moderator.

Re: petition

Re: petition This is a load of bollocks. The idea that the way you deal with sociopaths is to feed their sense of power is pure drivel. If this is in fact true, that audiogames.net was hacked by the swamp hackers, then the absolute last thing that should be done would be to let them have what

Re: petition

Re: petition So, the original premise of this thread was in part that the hack of the audiogames web site was done by the same folk who hacked Swamp. This is apparently not the case, as the hack of AGN was a standard spam insertion from what the site owners state. Its likely then that this

Alter Aeon equipment sorting.

Alter Aeon equipment sorting. Hi, my name is Themadviolinist and Im addicted to Alter Aeon, after, well 20 years of ignoring it.My biggest problem right now is tracking the approximately 83,192 pieces of equipment Ive found and sorting it into optimal sets for different purposes. I know

Alter Eon or MUSH Z problem

Alter Eon or MUSH Z problem I got addicted to Alter Eon Friday night. So when I attempted to log on using Mush Z again this afternoon, and discovered that lots of config options were missing or changed, and that I was getting runtime errors I was rather distressed. I have things set up

Re: GMA Games, What's coming up in 2015

Re: GMA Games, What's coming up in 2015 Of the things mentioned in the OP, the update to LW is the one Im most interested in. Lone Wolf holds a place of honor in my gaming world as the first Windows game I bought and the ability to create missions made it have the best replay value of

Re: Alter Aeon equipment sorting. Im Fiddler and I just got my fifth class yesterday. I am quite familiar with the list switches, though Ive never found a complete list of them. What they do not do is give me a quick way to efficiently construct a set to maximize more than one

Re: Tentative Entombed 2 Design Decisions

Re: Tentative Entombed 2 Design Decisions If youre going to have a resting mechanic, you need a cost, and having random encounters that interrupt it isnt really all that high a cost. I would prefer tying resting to the need for food and taking extra time so that your food doesnt last as

Re: Status of entombed?

Re: Status of entombed? Hi Jason. I for one really liked Entombed, though I havent played it in a good three years as I had exhausted the possibilities in the previous iteration. So, if youre planning on bringing out something new, rest assured Ill be there to play/test and probably

Re: Tentative Entombed 2 Design Decisions

Re: Tentative Entombed 2 Design Decisions Heres a thought regarding resting, etc. If the game were structured so that as time passed, the dungeon levels got harder, you would create a strategic consideration about whether or not to keep going, or take the extra time for healing, but making

Re: Why is space so boring?

Re: Why is space so boring? One design problem I can see with a historical MUD or its cousins is the same problem that besets anyone trying to create an LotR game, in that the large important events of the universe have already been laid down by the history, or the author.  It becomes
