Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients Beta 12 Released
I can agree with that. That way those who don't want it could turn it off. I admit I'd probably use it at least right at first.

When you mentioned that you wondered why the centaur's sounded like they are at a full run when in actuality they are only walking. That got me thinking about the relative speed of all of the enemies, and that I probably should change it to give each enemy a different rate of speed when attacking. Centaurs could indeed be running at you, and would cover much ground very quickly. Harpies can fly so also could move pretty quickly. Skeletons and zombies would obviously move much slower and not be too quick on their feet. Undead creatures usually are pretty slow in games. This way each enemy would be more realistic and unique.

Re: [Audyssey] Mota interuptions
Hi Dark, Oh, that's okay. I do understand where you are coming from. I didn't mean to sound quite so irritable yesterday, but sometimes it does get to be slightly frustrating to recieve several messages in a row on a particular bug or problem with the game or a product. Especially, when the changes.txt file is there to tell customers what has been fixed, and what hasn't been fixed. If a particular bug isn't in the changes.txt file than it is safe to say that problem hasnt' yet been addressed for one reason or another. Perhaps one way to solve this problem is to ship a shortened todo.txt file with the game so customers can see what changes are scheduled for the next release ahead of time. That would save us both duplicating requests and scheduling in advance. However, as I said though it would have to be a shortened version of the todo list as there are things in there I wouldn't necessarily want the public to view such as the location of a new trap, or some plans for a hidden lever/pressure switch that should be found by the player. Such hints would give too many secrets away from the paying customers. Plus I sometimes often change my todo list midway through development as a bug or problem crops up during public testing that take spriority over whatever is in the todo file. Anyway, it is funny you should mention the pause key. As it turns out it isn't working in beta 12, and I never noticed as I never use that command much myself. So I completely understand how a developer can overlook something like that. If the developer doesn't use it, doesn't really need it, it takes someone else to point it out to him/her that the pause key is not working. I imagine the same bug was present in beta 11 as well, but nobody noticed until now. So, yes, we developers do have a way of overlooking the obvious stuff sometimes. Just talking to Phil yesterday showed me the proof of that. Here I had designed a speed attribute into the engine to give each and every player and enemy a maximum speed, and yet never used it in Mysteries of the Ancients. I just set all of the enemies default speed to 1 which is pretty slow. It would have made more sense to make the centaurs and harpies move fairly fast while skeletons and zombies fairly slow. Sounds obvious now, but in the haste of developing the game, porting the engine from .Net to C++, etc something that miner never even entered my mind. Was too much to do than to think about weather or not this or that enemy should move quickly or slowly.

Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients Beta 12 Released
Hi Bryan, Ummm...That's not exactly how it works. I made people an offer of either have it as an on/off feature or have it based on difficulty level. Not both here. Since people have decided they want an on/off setting that's what I'll be doing. If they don't want it they can simply turn it off. I think expert is difficult enough as it is that the player warnings won't make much of a difference anyway. On 5/10/10, Bryan Peterson bpeterson2...@cableone.net wrote: I disagree.

First, we could set it up that those warnings are available on the beginner level. That works, but there may be times you want it on a higher difficulty to. Second, we could have an on/off setting in the program settings to enable/disable those warnings which makes the most sense to me. Third, we could do something like a training mode option that pops up when you start the game like do you want training messages to warn you of traps, monsters, etc. That is also doable, but option two seams better to me. I guess what do you think. I'm willing to do it however you guys think it would work best in the engine.

Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients Beta 12 Released
Hi Dark, Yes, it includes the internal coding for the Genesis Engine. All 39,286 lines of code were written by me personally. Most of it was converted from C# .Net to C++ manually. A project that took three months of four to five hour days working on just copying and rewriting code. It was a nightmare. Fortunately, though, since I now have the Genesis Engine any future games of a side-scroller and FPS variety won't take as long. It helps to have 25,000 to 30,000 lines of code already written and ready to use at a moments notice. That's why this period of debugging is so important.

Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients Beta 12 Released
I like the differences of the 4 difficulty levels. It allows the gamer to choose how difficult the game is to beat. I have a chess computer that has 64 skill levels. To some, this may seem excessive, but it really is not. Of course, chess is a completely different animal, but the idea is the same. If there were only 1 level of difficulty, a lot of gamers would give up because they aren't skilled enough to beat the game. If they get frustrated and can never win, they'll give up. And have you ever just been in the mood to just go through the game and destroy enemies? Using the easy level will allow it, but the game still must be played carefully. --- In God we trust. - Original Message - From: Hayden Presley hdpres...@hotmail.com To: 'Gamers Discussion list' gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 9:29 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients Beta 12 Released Hi Yohandy, While we're thinking this way--heck, why do we need four difficulty levels?

A project that took three months of four to five hour days working on just copying and rewriting code. It was a nightmare.

It helps to have 25,000 to 30,000 lines of code already written and ready to use at a moments notice. That's why this period of debugging is so important.

Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients Beta 12 Released
I'm personally more in favour of it being in the beginner, and possibly easy difficulty settings but not in the others rather than being a toggle switch, sinse this allows players to get used to the game in early difficulty, but insures that experts have to truely master positioning and jumps. I personally think it'd be wrong if the game can be finished on expert with this option on. Pluss, this gives a nice distinguishing factor to the gameplay betwene different difficulties, insuring that playing on higher levels is not just a case of doing the same thing as on lower ones, but with more hard hitting enemies, thus insuring a longer play time in mastering this game. This is as I said though, just a personal view, I won't exactly be going on a massive vendetta if it doesn't make it into the game and a toggle switch is decided upon,. Beware the Grue!

When you mentioned that you wondered why the centaur's sounded like they are at a full run when in actuality they are only walking. That got me thinking about the relative speed of all of the enemies, and that I probably should change it to give each enemy a different rate of speed when attacking. Centaurs could indeed be running at you, and would cover much ground very quickly. Harpies can fly so also could move pretty quickly. Skeletons and zombies would obviously move much slower and not be too quick on their feet. Undead creatures usually are pretty slow in games. This way each enemy would be more realistic and unique.

Re: [Audyssey] Mota interuptions
actually i like the idea of having a known bugs list which you could send out, sinse that should hopefully hold off a lot of comments of obvious things you already know, and hopefully keep thoughts original. Perhaps listing bugs where property or thing x doesn't work correctly rather than a todo list with incert giant rabbit of death boss at end of level 2 you could thus avoid spoilers. As regards comments, well it is partly my fault. i do try not to read threads about betas until I've tried them sinse I like to make up my own mind, and if someone posts I find this impossible! it might change my thinking (such a thing I'd rather discover on my own). However I should really have considdered that everyone else would've noticed this issue, --- including you. Beware the Grue! dark. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2010 11:17 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Mota interuptions Hi Dark, Oh, that's okay. I do understand where you are coming from. I didn't mean to sound quite so irritable yesterday, but sometimes it does get to be slightly frustrating to recieve several messages in a row on a particular bug or problem with the game or a product. Especially, when the changes.txt file is there to tell customers what has been fixed, and what hasn't been fixed. If a particular bug isn't in the changes.txt file than it is safe to say that problem hasnt' yet been addressed for one reason or another. Perhaps one way to solve this problem is to ship a shortened todo.txt file with the game so customers can see what changes are scheduled for the next release ahead of time. That would save us both duplicating requests and scheduling in advance. However, as I said though it would have to be a shortened version of the todo list as there are things in there I wouldn't necessarily want the public to view such as the location of a new trap, or some plans for a hidden lever/pressure switch that should be found by the player. Such hints would give too many secrets away from the paying customers. Plus I sometimes often change my todo list midway through development as a bug or problem crops up during public testing that take spriority over whatever is in the todo file. Anyway, it is funny you should mention the pause key. As it turns out it isn't working in beta 12, and I never noticed as I never use that command much myself. So I completely understand how a developer can overlook something like that. If the developer doesn't use it, doesn't really need it, it takes someone else to point it out to him/her that the pause key is not working. I imagine the same bug was present in beta 11 as well, but nobody noticed until now. So, yes, we developers do have a way of overlooking the obvious stuff sometimes. Just talking to Phil yesterday showed me the proof of that. Here I had designed a speed attribute into the engine to give each and every player and enemy a maximum speed, and yet never used it in Mysteries of the Ancients. I just set all of the enemies default speed to 1 which is pretty slow. It would have made more sense to make the centaurs and harpies move fairly fast while skeletons and zombies fairly slow. Sounds obvious now, but in the haste of developing the game, porting the engine from .Net to C++, etc something that miner never even entered my mind. Was too much to do than to think about weather or not this or that enemy should move quickly or slowly.

Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients Beta 12 Released
I did actually wonder Tom exactly how much of the code was the engine and how much was mota specific. I do now though have an idea of approximately how much easier things will be in the future for producing any other audio fps or similar now having the engine written. Btw, if you wrote thirteen thousand lines in a month, and mota takes up nine thousand, I duely expect usa games to be releasing 1 and a half games a month from now on? and no skimping on the halves! I'll be expecting to see the adventures of Angela Carters' legs! traversing ancient floors and booting centaurs where it hurts! ;D.

All 39,286 lines of code were written by me personally. Most of it was converted from C# .Net to C++ manually. A project that took three months of four to five hour days working on just copying and rewriting code. It was a nightmare. Fortunately, though, since I now have the Genesis Engine any future games of a side-scroller and FPS variety won't take as long. It helps to have 25,000 to 30,000 lines of code already written and ready to use at a moments notice. That's why this period of debugging is so important. Every day I debug the engine the less time I'll need to fix future games using the engine.

That is a truly staggering! amount of code, I'm impressed. I did suspect the game would've been large, but I would've guessed more like ten thousand lines at most, or does this also count internal coding for running the genesis engine? Beware the grue!

Hi If you go to the blastbay studios website there's an audio review of Q9 by Kelly Sapergia, he plays a bit of the game.

Re: [Audyssey] q9
I will be glad to provide you the entire game review when I buy the game in a few weeks. It will contain all four worlds, and will be on the easy difficulty.

[Audyssey] my thoughts
my thought on the last crusade is this. it could be longer instead of three stages. which means it could have at least a couple of more stages. the fights was nice i like that the battles was random what i mean is when you fight you might lose one time and then the next time you might win. i enjoy the music it kind of remind me of the zelda music and the final fantasy music. i also enjoy the voice acting. the guy who did that did a great job. someone tell me was that the same person who made the game? on the game they could have you travel in a tomb and the fight the boss in the grave yard. they could have you go into a cabin and fight the first boss. but other then this review i give this game a five out of ten. i will start to bring more game review for all of you out their. and please check out the game zone at 206-376-8794 to get all type of reviews and cheats and info about upcoming games. and interviews with some of the game makers and game players. and yes you can listen to the show on skype. so call -- Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

Re: [Audyssey] Last week
Have you tried the following: 1. Tell Monica about wedding 2. Tell Brooke about wedding. 3. Tell Page about wedding. 4. Tell Holly about wedding. Since I don't know how far you have gotten or what all you have done, I don't know what else to suggest. You will want to pay special attention to what Monica says when you tell her about wedding.

[Audyssey] Gamebook released
Just a quick note for everyone. the chronicles of Arborell, possibly my personal favourite gamebook site online (even better than project aon), have just released the second book in the Joton of the west series, A murder of crows, sequal to shards of moonlight. for those who don't know, this is a fantastic world with it's own history, mythology and language, which has gamebooks, (including a very interesting randomly generated dungeon game), histories, stories, and myths all available for free in html. the webmaster is great on access matters too, he even writes up accessible versions of some of the more important maps and documents. You'll need to use gma dice or a similar dice program to play these books, and keep your own stat sheet in word or similar, but believe me the quality of the writing, the exploration and the history is well worth it. i really can't say enough about how good this series is! anyway, enough babbling, you can find the site generally at www.arborell.com. and if you've already played all the other stuff and just want to start murder of crows go to http://www.arborell.com/amoc/index.html Beware the Grue! dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
