Re: [blind-gamers] games about food and cooking
Not bad ideas. 3k has a farming system that requires you to keep the soil hydrated, aerated, and even bug infested to make sure you get the best quality plants. Perhaps something like that could help here. Perhaps, every 10 or 20 seconds, a check could be made to see if all conditions are prime for growing, and if not, then you need to add water, fertalizer, pest control, or maybe introduce animals like earthworms to keep the soil in it's peak condition for growing. I like these suggestions, I'll see how much work it will be to introduce some of these into the current environment, and sew what kind of a difference it makes in game play. After all, it's supposed to be fun, not hard work. *grin* On 4/15/2018 1:15 AM, dark wrote: Hi Travis.

Re: [blind-gamers] games about food and cooking
Hi Travis. Actually I'd love a game like this and have been thinking about design and suggestions. The first is variation. In reality, farming isn't just a matter of planting things and waiting, or even just remebering to add water every so often. You need to watch out for pests, perhaps irrigate the land if there is too much rain, or add extra water for too much sun, weed the garden whilst making sure not to pull up your plants etc, plus of course there are different sorts of soil conditions and such that affect different plants. If anyone has ever played the gardening minigame in four dimensions mud you'll get an idea of this. Basically games are fun when the player is engaged and need to use their judgement about certain conditions. So for example, suppose you have a field with carrots in the north and onions in the south. Well you look at your north field and find weeds growing there. Okay, you need to take the time to pull out the weeds, however while your doing this there is a lot of rain. Your carrots will be okay in watery soil, but your onions need dryer conditions so you'll need to alternate your time between weeding in the north and shoveling a bit of sand in the south. The problem though is your spending so much time weeding that your at best only able to fulfill a holding action for your onions which are rapidly becomming water logged as the rainy weather continues, so you use some of your limited funds to buy weed killer which will ease off the weeding so you can concentrate more on drying the soil for your onions, as you hope that if you grow enough onions you can recoop the cost of your weedkiller. This is the sort of thing I mean by judgement and reaction, give you changing conditions that affect your crops and require you to spend time and resources in the game making those judgements. hth and I really hope your gardening game gets finished.

Re: [blind-gamers] games about food and cooking
Heh, just for information, and kind of a outreach. I've actually been working on a game similar to those found on the Iphone where you can grow things in your garden, harvest them, sell them, upgrade them, and so on. My wife plays one of these, and it sounded so interesting, I decided to write one for myself. At the moment it's level based, so you can only grow carrots on level 1, and once you reach level 2, you can grow carrots or onions, but there's tasks to complete on each level, and although there's no quest sytem yet, I'm working on that as well. Basically, quests will be tasks that aren't level based. My current problem though is one of creativity. I'm kind of out of ideas on how to make this thing interesting. You can plant and harvest plants for so long before it gets too boring to play anymore, so I'm trying to come up with things that will make the game worth playing long term. I'm not quite ready for player testing yet, but if anyone would like to suggest ideas on how to make this thing more interesting, I'm sure open to suggestions.

Re: [blind-gamers] games about food and cooking
Just for reference, jzip and frots both compile just fine on mac OSX. I used to have copies on my mac pages, but I have since lost those actual pages, though I'm sure I can still find the programs if anyone still wants them. Perhaps I need to rebuild my mac pages, and post everything again. I only have an older (cerca 2009 macbook) at the moment, so can't say how well anything I compile on it will work with newer macs, but it's trivially easy to build jzip and frots on the mac, and honestly, I don't see the need for macports, not the least of reasons is because when I installed it back in 2005, it hosed my system, requiring a reinstall of the os. Every since then, I've actually gone through the macports catalog, and compiled each and every program they offered (at the time) on the mac without macports, and it worked just fine, so you can't feed me any crap about how any emulation layer is necessary for compatability.

Gates of survival has cooking as an activity, but the access on that one is a little iffy.

I make interactive fiction myself (well, I did from 2012 to 2014 and considered getting back into it), and I always wrote them in JavaScript so that the players don't need to download any extra software.

Re: [blind-gamers] games about food and cooking
z8 games can be played even on modern platforms. You would probably need win-frotz to play them though. For those using Linux, we have frotz and jzip available to us. The mac platform might have a problem unless these packages are on darwin or fink or in the apple store, but iPhone users and iPad users won't have any problem since the frotz app is available in the app store and now you can use it to browse ifarchives for games.

Re: [blind-gamers] games about food and cooking
Actually interactive fiction interpreters tend to be very well maintained and exist for all modern platforms, Macand Ios as well as Windows, so you should have no problem playing if games in formats like zcode and tads on a modern machine, actually there's a pretty cool Nvda addon that reads text output in many if interpreters very well that I tried recently.
