Even worse I've spoken to my fair share of people that hav a you owe me attitude, and it drives me crazy. That said, I've thought about setting up something like an msdn subscription style service. If you can afford it Microsoft has a subscription for msdn that allows you to download betas for MS Office, Windows, etc and you can upgrade to the full product for a discount when it comes out. It is expensive, but it is a way of getting legal copies of their software as they become available, and for a discount when they come out. If I set up a similar service on my web site people would donate x amount each year for games, and as a result they would get all alpha, beta, and full releases of my games for a reduced price or for nothing at all. That's a way of putting money into the company, but also giving people x number of games for a base fee.

Just so the others know. Big game companies break out the info on the update. Just to wet your apatite and then take as long as they want on the release with no info until release. So you could be waiting six munths to over a year for more info on the game you pre paid for, and they do not answer email or letters about said games. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org .

[Audyssey] the bonus level of monkey business
Spoiler space HI all I am going to make a statement and then after that I will explain why I made the statement. Ok, so my statement is the following: It was the intention of james north to make the bonus level of monkey business impossible to play, even impossible to catch one monkey. And there is good reasoning behind this. The music that plays during the bonus level is from the movies impossible mission. So the music tells you that the level is impossible, its not a bug in the bonus level, james north wanted to make the bonus game actually impossible. If it was not his intention to make the bonus level impossible to play, he would have put other music in the bonus level. I know some people thinks that there is a bug in the bonus level, but there actually isn't. I think josh from draconis just ported everything to his website, he just basically sells james north's titles. It appears that josh never made any changes to james north's games. So if you are new to monkey business and you are about to play the bonus level for the first time, keep in mind that it is meant to be impossible.

[Audyssey] roling bolders in mota?
Hi tom Do you plan to add roling bolders to mota? It would be fun to try escape a roling bolder.

Re: [Audyssey] Questions for all you game developers on the list
Exactly. That's basically what I was getting at. It would just be so much quicker and therefore harder that it would probably make the complaints you've been getting about the latest Beta of Mota seem like nothing. That of course would probably make the developer who tried the experiment, particularly if it was a mainstream company and not used to dealing with us, regret the entire venture.

Although, I think the bigger problem with this type of game is that video games tend to operate at much higher speeds than audio games. The graphics might be redrawn 20 to 30 times a second, and it is constantly being updated in real time. Certainly faster than audio and speech feedback will allow for. As a result my audio games are slowed down to account for the player's ability to listen to things and get some sort of spoken feedback. At the speed my main game loop runs the screen and audio would seam to crawl in slow motion for a normal mainstream gamer. I'm not saying this can't be over come, but it might be much faster and require quickr reflexes than your average accessible gamer is use to.

Not only that but there would be financial considerations as well as you well know.

Second, even if they find someone to make them they still can't see it. So either way it is time and energy spent on something that isn't very useful or accessible to a blind gamer.

Re: [Audyssey] Why can't we get a challenging game for once? wasMOTA
There was a big debate about that on the Entombed discussion list a few weeks back as well, but saving is generally much more a part of that style of game than it generally is for side scrollers, although I have seen a few that did allow you to save. Some felt we should only be allowed to save at Save Points like in some of the Final Fantasy titles, but then there's always the possibility that you're too beaten up to make it back there alive and you'd just have to pray you didn't run into anymore monsters before you made it back. I understand their view point but I don't always agree with it. Of course some games allow for that by including a Quicksave feature, although the file will be erased immediately when you load it up again. But it gives you the option to save if you're on a time crunch or something like that. But I still feel that if someone doesn't like the save-anywhere option they don't have to use it much if at all. They can just remember that next time they die and lose all their hard work. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza.

Quite frankly I'm greatful to have the option to save at any point or I probably would have lost patience with the new Beta.

And of course it's all the more noticeable because we're such a small community.

Re: [Audyssey] Why can't we get a challenging game for once? wasMOTA
Hi Nicol, Pacman talks does have a save along with the Sarah game but not in the demo level. With Sarah you need to find the time turner first before saving. As Thomas wrote, saving is a kind of cheat but one that is necessary in a long playing game. It usually takes me quite a while to get through all the levels of both games so I do see that it is necessary. But it does make those games a lot easier if you are saving them very often.

Re: [Audyssey] python compiler
I get it. PYtexe is accessed through the command line. This should work, when I get home and test it. Thanks, Nick On 10/1/09, Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi nick, I think I need to explain this a bit clearer. As you probably know Python is a scripting language and requires an interpretor to run. Therefore it is not really compiled to a native Windows program as would be the case if you used a language like C or C++. What py2exe really does is it bundles the Python interpretor and your source code together into an exe file, but it isn't compiled in the triditional sense of the word. It is more like packaged in an executable archive. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, if you want to use py2exe to make an executable archive you'll have to get use to working with the Windows command line for this. Most python tools like that are command line only, not graphical applications, so you have to be somewhat familiar with the Windows command prompt to use them. Here is an overview how py2exe works. First, download and install py2exe from http://www.py2exe.org and install the correct version for your interpretor. Make sure you get the one that is for your version of the Python interpretor. Else you can end up screwing things up a bit. Second, you have to create a custom setup script for your application. Generally this is easy, but for a newby this is an unexpected step. Create a filecalled setup.py, and then you will write a script something like this. For example let us just say the program is called Test. import setup import py2exe setup (console=[Test.py], zipfile=None) Once you have created and saved your setup script you now have to build the Python exe archive via the command line. Generally you would type a command like this in your source directory. python setup.py py2exe --bundle 1 If everything worked correctly you would have a file called Test.exe in your dist directory.

Re: [Audyssey] Why can't we get a challenging game for once? wasMOTA
but that's the whole point, isn't it? of course there's risks involved with saving in redefined places. Sometimes I wish that in invincible tiger, you could save after every chapter or something, but you can't, and I'm glad for that, it makes the game a lot harder and more fun. what you guys don't realize is that if we have the ability to save anywhere in a game, we're most likely going to use it. it's an impulse thing. oh no I'm gonna lose! let me save. but if that temptation was removed by not having the feature at all, we'd enjoy the game more in the longrun. - Original Message - From: Bryan Peterson bpeterson2...@cableone.net To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, October 02, 2009 8:26 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Why can't we get a challenging game for once? wasMOTA There was a big debate about that on the Entombed discussion list a few weeks back as well, but saving is generally much more a part of that style of game than it generally is for side scrollers, although I have seen a few that did allow you to save. Some felt we should only be allowed to save at Save Points like in some of the Final Fantasy titles, but then there's always the possibility that you're too beaten up to make it back there alive and you'd just have to pray you didn't run into anymore monsters before you made it back. I understand their view point but I don't always agree with it. Of course some games allow for that by including a Quicksave feature, although the file will be erased immediately when you load it up again. But it gives you the option to save if you're on a time crunch or something like that. But I still feel that if someone doesn't like the save-anywhere option they don't have to use it much if at all.

Bryan Peterson wrote: A worthy ambition, but given the increased difficulty I have a feeling that if Thomas did that he'd live to regret it. Here's a concept. If ya don't like a given feature of a game, ya don't have to use it. Not trying to be offensive here but that's how I feel. Quite frankly I'm greatful to have the option to save at any point or I probably would have lost patience with the new Beta.

[Audyssey] changes to James North's games?
I can attest to the fact that Josh has made changes to James North's original games. Testing was done on, and suggestions were incorporated to, Change Reaction. Monkey Business was modified because someone found out about a way to crack the registration system and blabbed it all over the blind gaming community.

Re: [Audyssey] the bonus level of monkey business
Nicol, I beg to differ with you. I do know Josh has made some changes to James North's titles. The changes haven't necessarily been major,but there have been some changes made here and there to keep them somewhat up to date. As for the music for the bonus level it is called Mission Impossible not Impossible Mission. Just because James North used that music for the bonus level it does not mean James North intended the bonus level to be impossible. Difficult yes, but not impossible. Please, stop taking things too litterally. Nicol Oosthuizen wrote: Spoiler space HI all I am going to make a statement and then after that I will explain why I made the statement.

Hi Bryan, yes it is.

Ok, so my statement is the following: It was the intention of james north to make the bonus level of monkey business impossible to play, even impossible to catch one monkey. And there is good reasoning behind this. The music that plays during the bonus level is from the movies impossible mission. So the music tells you that the level is impossible, its not a bug in the bonus level, james north wanted to make the bonus game actually impossible. If it was not his intention to make the bonus level impossible to play, he would have put other music in the bonus level. I know some people thinks that there is a bug in the bonus level, but there actually isn't. I think josh from draconis just ported everything to his website, he just basically sells james north's titles. It appears that josh never made any changes to james north's games. So if you are new to monkey business and you are about to play the bonus level for the first time, keep in mind that it is meant to be impossible.

Re: [Audyssey] Questions for all you game developers on the list
Hi, definitely. Take my version of Montezuma's Revenge verses the mainstream game released in 1984 as an example here. In my version enemies would only do about 25% damage on the beginner level and would only be updated once a second or so. That's an eternity for a mainstream vidio game. It would be child's play for a mainstream gamer. The real 1984 game, which mine was based on, operated at least 10 times faster, enemies moved rapidly on the screen,and coming in contact with an enemy resulted in instant death. It was definitely far more challenging, difficult, and tricky than mine ever hoped to be. I actually emulated some of this on the expert difficulty level, but people complained, it is too hard. My conclusion is rather obvious. If my expert level came close to emulating the actual game and people complained it was too difficult what does that say about the average blind gamer? What does that say about our willingness to play mainstream games as they were designed without handicaps? Are we really willing and able to play at the same level as the mainstream gamers? Bryan Peterson wrote: Exactly. That's basically what I was getting at. It would just be so much quicker and therefore harder that it would probably make the complaints you've been getting about the latest Beta of Mota seem like nothing. That of course would probably make the developer who tried the experiment, particularly if it was a mainstream company and not used to dealing with us, regret the entire venture. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Preordering was MOTABeta
Oh, absolutely. It is a lot more personal as I have contact with my customers directly on this list, on the USA Games list, various other accessibility related lists, by phone for tech support calls, etc. As a result I get to know them some and as is to be expected I like some and dislike others on a personal and professional level. It wouldn't be that way if USA Games were a mainstream commercial company. I know that the mainstream game companies have several levels of customer service which are there to handle sales, tech support, and so on. Chances are slim to none that you will get to talk to the developer of game x or to speak to the head of the company. As a result they can afford to do whatever they want, and treat their customers with indifference. Bryan Peterson wrote: And of course it's all the more noticeable because we're such a small community. I bet mainstream devs get nasty comments like that all the time but they can just shrug it off because they've probably got lots of folks there who can just hit the delete button or handle the comments however they see fit, whereas we can't necessarily do that. And it's bound to be more discouraging than it would be to a big mainstream developer. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Questions for all you game developers on the list
Hi Shaun, Honestly mashing the buttons or keys really doesn't make it easier to play the game. In fact, based on personal experience it generally makes the problem worse as you aren't even trying to come up with a workable strategy. You are just wildly trying to get through as fast and furiously as you can. Sometimes a little foresight and planning can overcome certain difficulties. In Troopenum, for example, everything below level 10is pretty easy. So use that time to build up super lasers, ground nukes, bonus lives, etc. By level 12 or so you will want to begin bringing out the heavy weaponry. The longer you can wait before deploying the heavy weaponry the better chance you have of kicking Lord Vector's rear. Even though the game is a straight arcade shooter it isn't holy without some strategy involved. Smile. shaun everiss wrote: Hmmm thats a point. I think we are but it may take a second or so to hear stuff rather than see it. I suppose if we all used gamepads or something we could mash the keys and try. Actually I have had friends that do hard games bash the keys of their controlers to buggery, and get rather angered when disturbed as they die. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Why can't we get a challenging game for once? wasMOTA
Hi, Minusing a save feature is good for some games--however, with a lot of other games the games are simply too long to not include a save feature. We have to account for the player having a life outside of the game as well. Plus, getting so far and then losing, and losing again and again because you failed to dodge ONE missile will get a lot of players frustrated. This is why with Three-D Velocity, for instance, a save anywhere feature will be available in the story mode. Munawar A. Bijani Knowledge is of two types: absorbed and heard.

Re: [Audyssey] Questions for all you game developers on the list
Hi, If you select C Sharp.NET your best bet is to get SlimDX which includes a DirectSound and XAudio wrapper (I tend to use the former since it's not in beta by Microsoft): http://code.google.com/p/slimdx This is the library I use. You will have to write your own functions for handling audio but it's not too difficult to do. The SlimDX API just allows .NET programs to interface to DirectX.

First up, I'd like to know which open source engine is most frequently being used by all you experienced developers, or hav you had to build a graphics and audio engine for your game from scratch? Second, I am still juggling in my mind as to whether I'll code my game in cSharp or c++. In comparison, are there any significant drawbacks or significant advantages in terms of performance and reliability if i were to choose one above the other? I am quite profficient in both, although I've taken a microsoft certified course in cSharp, whereas for c++, it has been mostly self taught. Also, if anyone of you could point me to a good tutorial on keyboard input, especially for triggering audio events, I'd really appreciate it. my last question is, if i had to resort to Microsoft's DirectX SDK for developing my game, is there a way to make the keyboard controls accessible?

Re: [Audyssey] Why can't we get a challenging game for once? wasMOTA
I'm with you. So the save feature is there and we can decide whether or not to use it, but those of us who don't save every ten steps don't get anything special for actually playing the game well. On the Entombed discussion group Jason mentioned that Entombed will likely have a standard mode and a hardcore mode. The latter will have things like limited saves. In my opinion, that's the way to go. I think you're absolutely right about the comparison between mainstream titles and those released for our community. Games in the mainstream market are designed to take considerably longer to beat.

Sometimes I wish that in invincible tiger, you could save after every chapter or something, but you can't, and I'm glad for that, it makes the game a lot harder and more fun. what you guys don't realize is that if we have the ability to save anywhere in a game, we're most likely going to use it. it's an impulse thing. oh no I'm gonna lose! let me save. but if that temptation was removed by not having the feature at all, we'd enjoy the game more in the longrun. - Original Message - From: Bryan Peterson bpeterson2...@cableone.net To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, October 02, 2009 8:26 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Why can't we get a challenging game for once? wasMOTA There was a big debate about that on the Entombed discussion list a few weeks back as well, but saving is generally much more a part of that style of game than it generally is for side scrollers, although I have seen a few that did allow you to save. Some felt we should only be allowed to save at Save Points like in some of the Final Fantasy titles, but then there's always the possibility that you're too beaten up to make it back there alive and you'd just have to pray you didn't run into anymore monsters before you made it back. I understand their view point but I don't always agree with it. Of course some games allow for that by including a Quicksave feature, although the file will be erased immediately when you load it up again. But it gives you the option to save if you're on a time crunch or something like that. But I still feel that if someone doesn't like the save-anywhere option they don't have to use it much if at all. They can just remember that next time they die and lose all their hard work. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza.

If there is someone who doesn't want to save games while playing there is no law saying they have to. Yes, people can use it to cheat, but cheaters are only cheating themselves in the end. Bryan Peterson wrote: A worthy ambition, but given the increased difficulty I have a feeling that if Thomas did that he'd live to regret it. Here's a concept. If ya don't like a given feature of a game, ya don't have to use it. Not trying to be offensive here but that's how I feel. Quite frankly I'm greatful to have the option to save at any point or I probably would have lost patience with the new Beta. And as I grow more comfortable I use it less anyways, usually only right before the boss if I decide I'm going to try to bring him down.

[Audyssey] mota cyclops?
I notice in the sound files there are sounds for a cyclops whom I've never found in the demo. Anyone met him yet? No one ever kicked ass by saying I can't.

Mysteries of the Ancients is a game created from scratch by me. Granted some of the inspiration came from Tomb Raider, but it is more or less an original work. It hasn't turned out exactly as planned, but I do have plans of continuing the game series at some point using a full 3d first person environment. As far as my future plans goes one thing I'd like to do is port the Genesis Engine to C++. Then, create cross platform versions that will run on Mac, Linux, and Windows. However, that is much easier said than done though. Anyway, as far as the MOTA game levels goesI'm creating rough drafts of the levels. mostly they are notes written out like a walkthrough that describes each room, where to go, what traps to avoid, etc. As soon as i fix a couple of issues with the game engine I'll begin adding those levels to the game. Yohandy wrote: understandable. btw, how are the rest of the levels progressing? I'm curious. are you planning to release anything original after this game is released? you had lots of dreams and I'm really hoping they end up happening --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
