Re: Braillemon status update!
Re: Braillemon status update! The game is really not stable at all, its just that the "stable" version is *more stable*. I built it when i was really inexperienced with code. I haven't found the source code but I will upload it to my site if I can find it. Also, the versions of Braillemon on my site should be the most up to date versions.Noticed some people were struggling to reach out to me and my twitter got banned over an elon musk tweet so here is my current contact info again:twitter: https://twitter.com/punishedFelixdiscord: roger#1979you can also email me through the forum email function i think but it might take a while for me to notice.

Re: Braillemon status update!
Re: Braillemon status update! @Stasp - I'll try to find the source code and slap it on my website but its from an old version of game maker so I can't make any guarantees. Yeah I know it sucks but I think I might have something in my old dropbox folder in one of my backup folders or something.BTW I would recommend anyone who wants to ask me directly questions about braillemon to just DM me on Twitter (https://twitter.com/realGuattari) someone hit me up there and it made me realize its a way better way to get in contact with me. I do NOT update the game anymore and I dont even know where the source code is as I write this but I'll make a genuine effort to look for it at least for archival's sake. It will be probably faster that way anyways because I respond pretty quickly to Dms.

Re: Braillemon status update!
Re: Braillemon status update! Hey sorry for not responding. I know Gaki probably won't see this but that is some sort of issue with your operating system. MSVCP100.dll is a debugging library because the TTS engine that braillemon uses needs it because it was compiled as debug and I didn't know how to fix it. LOL. but yeah.I don't have the source code for that so I couldn't fix it, but maybe see if you can find a version of the DLL that works (and maybe the others). I'm pretty sure I Was still able to play braillemon so it might be a setting issue.Also, there is no problem in reviving an old game thread to try to address some issue in the game. I have discontinued development though since 2016 and I'm aware that its not a very good game, it was my first game ever. But hey, its a free pokemon game if you can get it working lol.I'm going to be uploading these onto a blog I'm building out so there is a permanent link instead of relying on my ancient dropbox account. I'm going to try to get the EXE's working in windows 10 and if that works I'll upload em.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind Hey there sandslash, Right now I'm only really using monogame/XNA's libraries and I'm developing in linux cuz I dont have much in the ways of a computer right now. Right now I have the following done with the audio engine:Music playerSound effectsSound EmittersProximity DetectorAnd I'm currently working on the pathfinder tool. Also the game has a TTS class but I haven't tested it cuz mono in linux doesn't support TTSI want to use NAudio for the proximity detector to see if I can do something that gives me more control over panning. It works for now in the XNA-only build but it would be better if I had more control over the sound itself, and also it could allow me to do other dynamic processing of the sound stream. But that's kind of way head of the game, I still need a system with Windows to even start building that out, so I'm just focusing on the core elements.In response to your edit, I just chose a low pitched sound for now so I can just change the wav sample that it uses to use a higher pitched one.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind Idk how helpful this video is but I got the proximity detector working last week. When I get windows up and running again I might convert it to Naudio though to have more control over panning. https://twitter.com/SPECTRUM_JRPG/statu … 37667?s=20The game is being rebranded as SPECTRUM btw.I'm really excited about using monogame because it would make it a lot easier to port the engine to unity and stuff. This week I'm going to build out the pathfinding system. Idk who played the last build but the pathfinder basically would make a sound path from your current position to a destination and you can follow the sound to where you want to go. It even takes into consideration collisions. And yep this game is now on a private bit bucket repo so it's not going anywhere. Once I finish the engine I will start porting it for the module I promised + get a public repo for it URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/424726/#p424726 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind The game itself will be closed source, but I think that making the accessibility engine open source is a necessary move in the right direction for accessibility. Sure, I can put up a donation link but I don't really think it's necessary to donate. The reason why I'm doing this is because I'm sick and tired of this attitude towards accessibility that things should be proprietary. Think about how much that holds accessibility back, think about how much things like NVDA changed everything. Knowing that the old implementation of my accessibility engine seemed to be a solid start for what I'm trying to do, I figured that releasing it in this way isn't just the best way to make it a better end product, especially with blind developers adding their input, but also makes it much easier for other developers to implement some level of accessibility into their sighted games.And honestly I'm really just tired of the fake B S that was floating around a few years back. I had a thing that worked with my last build and I wanna make that thing work. I'm just so frustrated with my luck and my negligence. At least I'm finally moving away from Game Maker.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind Hey there everyone.So I wanted to give an update I was working on the next release which had a lot more content, and then my hard drive was destroyed. No backups. This happened in January. To put in perspective how absolutely mind numbingly frustrating this is, the game was literally a week from releasing the new version. I was just cleaning out some bugs in the compiled release.I decided to start working on the game again in Monogame instead of using Game Maker. This allows for a couple of upgrades:- Support for NVDA/JAWS (still need to test it to make sure it doesn't conflict with input, when I get a release I'll let you guys know)- Optimized game engine- More precisely built accessibility system.Irrelevant to blind players, but also, it is also being ported to Linux but IDK how to hook it up with a screen reader. There is no Mono support for speech yet.What I think is most important though for everyone here is the accessibility system. I've decided that the best way to get my system out there is to make it Open Source and free to use. That's right, I'm going to make a fork of the game project that offers an accessibility engine that only uses the XNA libraries to work. I believe that after 6 years of fumbling around like an idiot and figuring my way around making a better and better accessibility engine, it's necessary for me to release it both open source and license free.I want to make an impact across the entire gaming industry and set an example with this project, and having it be open source means that anyone here can also contribute towards the codebase and make their own forks.My goal since 2013 was to make games more accessible across the board and even though I've had to deal with so much B S in my life to get here I'm proud that I am still working on this project. I really am dedicated to this game despite the number of complete disasters I've dealt with during its production and I feel that this build will be the one that brings it to production; and also be the build that produces a powerful engine that ANYONE, blind or sighted, can add to their projects.I've just started building out the basic outline of the engine, working on the proximity detector right now. It's basically a replica of the one I built in game maker for the last release, but a LOT less hacky.Anyways, I'll make a new thread when I release my first version of the source so that everyone can check it out. For now, the new game won't be available for some time. I'm working full time and utterly exhausted, and I'm trying to figure out ways to dedicate more time onto development of the project. Instead I want to focus on getting the accessibility engine out there and focus on making the game lose its "blind game" stigma - yeah, that's a thing. People thought a game about colours was just for blind people, like as if the whole point of accessible gaming isn't to give an equivalent experience!Anyways, thanks for putting up with my crap for the last 6 years. I'm not gonna let you guys down with this.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind Hello guys, I'm expecting an early pre alpha release on the 23rd. I'd really appreciate it if I can get feedback with the new accessibility engine. The engine is very well built so any issues can be dealt with easily and quickly and I want to make sure this component of the engine is working well. I will not have any tutorials in the game due to it being pre-alpha, so please feel free to ask questions about any sort of concerns with what to do or what something means. Communication is key to being able to really make this thing succeed.As a reminder I'm no longer working on braillemon. My goal is to try to build a scalable model for blind accessibility with navigation. Feedback is of the essence. Thanks everyone. See you in 2 weeks.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind Hey there everyone, thought I would provide an update.Life is really tough right now because of a lot of personal BS I'd rather not get into right now but I can't work and I have no income which really blows, but I am being taken care of right now by good friends who are helping me get back on my feet. The good news is that things are definitely getting better, AND that I've started to rebuild the new Colors Chromatics engine. It's much more well organized and modular meaning that I can kick out updates much faster, and it will be much easier to debug as well. I'm not super far into development since I only started a few days ago but I've already created menus with TTS already and I'll be adding a few new features as well.It also now supports keybinding (although I probably won't build a menu for keybinding blind accessibility shortcuts since there are so many of them, but I'll probably still have them loaded from a file for customization).Aarush, your issue sounds directX related so make sure you have directX9 installed correctly, this is because it was made in an older version of game maker. I can't do any modifications to the code, it's so messed up that it's basically pure spaghetti.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind So an update:Bad news: I have to redo the engine; the engine is pretty much a mess. Also I have no job. I had to quit since I have chronic illness that has yet to be diagnosed. It is the source of most of the problems I had in the last few years, and it's obvious that working in an office makes it much worse. I was having 2 migraines a day. I needed to quit.Good news: I'm safe and I have a lot of time on my hands. I'll probably not start with the engine rewrite until December, but I want to start work on an accessibility extention that I can sell to other indies so they can start implementing easier accessibility into their games as well. I have absolutely every intention on continuing this game but it's very hard now that I am sick and unable to work outside of remote work. I'll probably be doing small work here and there but not much. Thankfully with a fully functioning prototype I can't imagine it taking too long to rebuild but I'm also in the process of rebuilding my life so meh.Honestly these last 4-5 years have been a long line of FOR FUCK'S SAKE over and over again. I think I'm just tired now.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind 1. Regarding footsteps, that sounds like a compilation bug; I'm going to test to see there aren't any issues with that since they were there before.2. The tutorial at the beginning explains what the sounds mean - I've been working on fixing it and everything's working up to the 5th tutorial. I'll be putting the tutorial in the inventory for access from the menu (an item triggers this tutorial as well)3. I will add an explanation to the ding sound, it indicates an opening in the walls.4.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind 1. Regarding footsteps, that sounds like a compilation bug; I'm going to test to see there aren't any issues with that since they were there before.2. The tutorial at the beginning explains what the sounds mean - I've been working on fixing it and everything's working up to the 5th tutorial. I'll be putting the tutorial in the inventory for access from the menu (an item triggers this tutorial as well)3. I will add an explanation to the ding sound, it indicates an opening in the walls.4.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind You have to start a new game if it crashes on load (you should be able to do this fine though by selecting new game on the load screen with left/right), but if not you should be fine. the coordinate bug was caused by an improper character replacement; I use special character modifiers for certain visual effects and the parsing was wrong so it made numbers 0-6 not appear.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind I'll take a look at that, in my experience I've never had an issue, but it might be because whatever is causing that bug suddenly caused the system to get "decoupled" so to speak. need to weed out these issues this week. I don't have the game available on me at the moment, but to check global aura stats I believe it's the keyboard row ASDF but I'll check; I may have missed the actual description of the aura effect.To equip the mittens, there are two ways - either go into your party menu, go into your items and select the mittens from your bag. then it will move to the selected player. Or, you can open the item menu, use "give" and give it to the appropriate character.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind I like the idea of having the name of the bookmark being read when you pass near it. The names aren't saved yet by the way, but I should have that done by next release which will be in July.Also, I'll have to look into the problems with the tutorial. They need to be completely redone due to the upgrades.Regarding stats; I will have to build a tutorial for those then. I might add a 'shift-character" function that if you're pressing shift will read off what that stat does.The crash was due to iirc something that was referenced when it shouldn't be. Red's color is actually FF 00 00 so having it say FF first is accurate.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind well that was weird. Well, time to resume the stuff I'm doing for the visual mode.What is your opinion on the new bookmarks system, any suggestions?Also, is the current format where stats are given to you (giving you all the numbers) too much? I noticed when testing with sighted demographics this was too excessive, so I built a casual mode, but since the casual mode uses graphs to show information that's usually represented by numbers, it might be a bit tricky to convert into blind mode. So anyone with any input would be really appreciated.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind This is an early release intended to demo the new audio engine. I need to do a lot more work in other parts of the game but I wanted feedback. The controls are slightly different. To drop down a bookmark, press shift. Press shift near a bookmark and the bookmark menu opens. You can either rename the bookmark or delete it. The rename screen is super basic right now. You can open the bookmark list with E. Both the exit locator and bookmark list allow you to create an audio path from your current position to the desired position. Press z to create one and c to destroy all paths. The path is a sound that will move in the direction towards the destination. If you go too far away from it it will be quiet.The next full release will update the tutorial accordingly, just takes a lot of time to put that stuff together https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BygzF … U03RkliTkUYou can't turn off the sounds just yet but the other functions are pretty much working so give them a try.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind This is mainly because in my last game Braillemon it adjusted the coordinates by dividing them by 16. Since it was on a grid this was appropriate - colors is free roaming essentially and the grid is 1x1 instead of 16x16. Also the game runs at 60 FPS so in 1 second you will move movement rate times 60, and I know the movement rate is more than just 1 pixel.I added the feature since I came up with an idea yesterday regarding paths and figured it would be much easier to use. It works pretty easily actually. Working on some collision bugs that I think is interfering with the wall sound.One tip - You can hear when you can interact with something since it does change the pitch of the footstep sound noticably, however I will be adding more audio locators down the line. Just not a huge priority at the moment. Also, a lot of items are also not noticable in sighted mode so those will stay the same.

Just not a huge priority at the moment. Also, a lot of items are also not noticable in sighted mode so those will stay the same.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind What they do is they essentially find the path from your current location to the selected exit in the locator menu, and makes a sound effect that travels in that direction to encourage you to follow in it. It uses a special pathfinding technique to avoid collisions.Also, guys, if you're encountering bugs, it would really help if you could give me information about it. This is only my second audio game, but I'm working hard for a commercial release. This game uses the audio engine for sighted gameplay so it's imperative that I'm able to get it more up to speed.I've had to focus on other parts of development and I would appreciate guides or tips. Aaron Baker has generously provided me a lot of advice on how to improve my game and I think additional input would make this work much better. I can't improve if I don't know the issues. Thanks.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind So what I have built out is a basic corner detector. Basically what it does is that if a collision suddenly changes as you're walking (such as you traversing along a wall and reaching an opening) it will play a sound. It's kind of buggy right now but this is mainly because the wall detecting sound is a little off anyways.I'm thinking about implementing paths that move audio listeners in a certain direction depending on what entrance you entered the map, but I'm still designing it. What do you think? It would sound like a wind sound that moves in a specific direction.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind I have no idea then, I'm sorry. It has worked on every other computer. Do you have access to another computer?Also, the error with the bookmarks has to do with the fact that it will shut off if it detects a collision in between the player and the collision. However it's not calibrated properly so there are instances where if you place a bookmark close enough to a collision, there will be a point where you can't hear the bookmark anymore despite not having a collision in the way.I'll also be adding a toggle to turn off the access sounds so that you can hear the other sound effects and music better too.

Re: Braillemon status update!
Re: Braillemon status update! While I'm not working on Braillemon anymore, I do find it amusing how poorly coded this mess of a game is. I wrote the game's inventory as an array. It's pretty dumb. And it rolls the array up whenever you delete an item, and a few other reasons. So I'm pretty sure it's probably happening somewhere like that.Thankfully my current game is much better programmed. I might go back to rebuilding this sometime if I'm not as busy but as it stands I'm basically dedicating 60 hours to work or this, so I'm not so sure about now maybe someone should take the reins?

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind By turnoff do you mean a section that you can turn and find a new place to go? Usually if you are able to hear the wall sounds a turn off is indicated by hearing no sound after hearing a persistent wall sound. Of course it sounds like you're having trouble with the wall sounds in the first place.In order to navigate, you basically traverse walls, and place bookmarks in open areas. It might be a bit buggy though so please report any unusual behaviour associated with it.That's weird since I've never had any problems with the left or right tone playing. You have to be very close to a wall in order to hear it though. Diagonal collisions are represented by using both an up/down and left/right sound at the same time.Do note that the wall sound does not rotate along with your character, its based on your position, not your orientation. This is intended to allow for a grid-like based navigation.I appreciate the feedback, since it's basically been vacant for most of the development of this project.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind Regarding the norton thing, I have no idea why it does that to be brutally honest, I've noticed it on my work computer as well; there is nothing that opens up any internet ports or anything to my knowledge, but I may have implemented something early on that attempts to utilize http gets or something for some sort of easter egg.1. It's a JRPG style game that is a hybrid audio-indie game that attempts to break into the indie game market, as a proof of concept of accessibility in main stream games. It also has a compelling story and strategic turn-based battles.2. link is in my signature. (https://gamejolt.com/games/ColorsChromatics/248621)3.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind Thanks (I have been desperate for some feedback on this game, seriously). The footsteps aren't coordinated yet. In fact they haven't been changed since they were implemented. This is because I'm not really content with the movement model, and I've already changed it again in this current release I'm working on (which should be out by the end of the week). It will eventually correlate with the walking animation/speed once those details are more finalized.I'll have to look more into the bookmarks not working though. What exactly isn't working about them, do they go silent sometimes randomly, or do they play the wrong sound, in the wrong place ect.As you might suspect, developing a hybrid game has a lot of interesting challenges and most development is on the sighted side of the game, optimization and other similar features. The accessibility element is essentially an overlay, so that essentially, it's a sighted game that h as blind accessibility, unlike something like Braillemon which was solely developed for the blind.

Re: Braillemon status update!
Re: Braillemon status update! The project is officially done and I'm only keeping the files available on my dropbox for legacy purposes. Please let me know if any of them don't work.Some examples of why the code won't be worked on anymore:1. The code is extremely messy, including the following:- Because of a bug that caused HP to dip below 0, EACH STEP the game checks if the HP has gone below 0 and corrects it if it hasn't.- The pokemon party is built in 6 1-d arrays and is accessed through switch statements throughout the code.- Very few constants are used in the game, so yeah, every time I reference a pokemon, I'm actually referencing their index number. Imagine how coding with that gets.- Every single attack's ability is stored in a single function and has a lot of copy-pasted code. This script is over 10,000 lines long.- The code that handles how attacks are calculated is a spaghetti filled mess.2. The code is not flexible at a ll and doesn't utilize inheritance properly.3. A good portion of the menu code is handled through game maker's drag and drop system, which makes it extremely hard to maintain because this system is slow, buggy and generally crap.I really hope that this makes it very clear why continuing work on this project is really not worth my time. I have considered contacting the development team of Pokemon Showdown to at least have that be more accessible but honestly I don't feel confident enough in my web development skills to do so.I hate admitting this but I started braillemon as an ambitious newbie who knew nothing about development, and this is what happens to a large, ambitious project that's managed by someone who clearly doesn't know anything about how to manage a project. All a learning lesson though. Development continues on Colors, but currently right now most of the development is based around the engine itself and not on adding new con tent; the bulk of the game is expected to start development around June or July 2017.I expect a full release by August 2019 if I can reach funding goals; if I can't receive any funding it will probably be a year or two pushed back. One of the main challenges with colors is that since it's also a visual game, I need to compensate for graphics as well. So getting graphics to work eats up a lot of my time.Colors has a much more clear strategy to focus on its completion and is far more flexible in its code than Braillemon ever was; the main thing holding me back now is stress, work and lack of time; however I try to complete a new feature at least twice a month, and try to get releases out every 2 months.If you haven't already, please follow my page on Facebook to get more continuous updates.https://www.facebook.com/ColorsChromatics/ URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=297786#p297786 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind Not yet, I can change it later though. It only plays if you've very close to a wall. Oh and there's a minor bug, it doesn't apply to you guys since its visual but I noticed there's a bug on the options menu... forgot to fix that derp. I'll add an option to disable the wall sound in the option menu. I'll also find a better sound effect.There is also the ability to place down audio bookmarks while on the overworld for navigation purposes. To place a bookmark I believe it's shift, and press ctrl to clear all your current bookmarks.Certain items you can push. You can push a chair in the first map (although it doesn't have a label yet), and you can push the statue on the map with Mike's house (this has a label, when you approach it it describes the statue. You can push it to the right, and underneath the statue is an item).For the bird watching the birds only make noises when they fly away right now; I want to hav e them have the actual bird calls, or at least reproductions of them, so that you can identify a bird from its sound. When you're close to a bird, if you have the bird guide in your inventory, simply use it to record a new bird.You can also use an item that you set in the item menu in the overworld using backspace; if it has an overworld effect it will trigger when you press it.Oh and one last thing - aura color of the party is much more intuitive this time. The first character uses their Red value as the aura's red value, the second is with green and the third is with blue.

Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind
Re: Colors - A New RPG aiming to be both mainstream and for the blind Hello all,I've somewhat neglected updating this thread as much as the facebook page. Here's the most recent update:https://www.dropbox.com/s/jb1egzszn06wn … 3.zip?dl=1Note that I found a fatal error earlier today so this link will probably be updated tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience. If you are afraid of crashes, this version is more stable:https://www.dropbox.com/s/drsdc646m83bp … 0.zip?dl=1I update my facebook page weekly at minimum, check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/colorschromodynamics2016/This will probably be more up to date than this thread. Enjoy!For your information, I plan on trying to do another kickstarter around February or March. I want to try to get a full release by August 2019 - both on Steam and more accessible clients.
