Also, methinks the legal changes won't be as easy as you suggest. that law you quote involving books only exists in the united states. In Britain up until 2005, the government did bugger all about access to books, and any charity had to perchice the publication writes streight out, or persuade the publishers to give them at reduced cost. Sinse 2005 that perchice of rights is no longer necessary so long as it is in an accessible format, however none of the charities really want to cross the publishers on this point, so if the industry says no! we want blind people to buy an abridged copy at ten times the price that is what happens. Getting back to games though, i'd be pretty much willing to bet game producers would knock such a law on the head the second it was proposed, remember, access is hardly game producers first option, in fact Nintendo are possitively draconian about their copywrites.

The basic issue is that graphics programming is it's own can of worms.

Adding graphics reasonable enough to appeal to even the sited public who play independent games would take a huge amount of work indeed, --- and may not even be compatible with audio representations of the environment anyway, for instance, you couldn't put packman grapics in packman talks, sinse that would let the sited player see the entire maze and where the ghosts were going, where as someone just playing with sounds only gets to know what's immediately around them. Terraofrmers is really the only game developed from scratch with any kind of graphical support. That being said, this is precisely what the chaps at Gamevial wish to do, though they are coming at it from the other side, sinse they wish to develope audio tools to allow blind people to play their graphical web based games, but have only created some fairly short concept demos thus far.

Hi tom. Actually, while I know this was a rather exasperated joke, there may be something in what you suggest, at least as far as sounds go. Sounds afterall, unlike programming libraries or developement tools, may be used by any game dev around. How about a donation scheme, sinse if 30 people donated ten usd, you'd have enough for at least one of those cds'. The sounds could then be loaded onto a password locked secure site, and the password could be given to developers. while, failing winning the lottery or a serious bank robbery, we might not be able to raise the hundred grand or so necessary to pay you, or anyone else to make audio sf4, scraping together 500 usd for some royalty free sounds might not be quite so unreasonable if people work together and are willing to donate a litle. this is also why I propose the sounds be placed on a secure site with a password which the major devs would have access to and would give out to anyone demed as necessary, sinse then your not just donating to one person, but essentially to the entire community, and thus making all future games better.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Happy to hear about the game will be created so it can expand. As RaceWay, is going to be good income for you Tom. As you describe it and a way to either able to update the drivers info historical stats data as part of the add ons or as a product to purchase every new season. To, keep the stats as real, the game needs the real stats. And by the stats, a system of grading the Team, and Pit Crew. For example the number of times a driver can been the number of races. AS you have mentioned in the email 39 drives, but the drivers database should not be just held to that. During a NACAR season, you will have local drivers who only can afford to race local. Or the times when drivers did not make the field. So, a team who is able to get in all 30 events will be grade A. But if the car has not finished a certain percentage of thier races should be graded as high for a high percentage and low for low percentage of finishing the race. So, the Pit Crew may not be to good and would get a D rating. Now on the other hand if a driver percentage for completing a race and due to crashing then the Driver is rating low. I am taking the rating system from the old Dos game, which I am working on for scripting with Jaws. But in what I was saying the driver stats is very important and other refferance material for creating other grading items in the game. Lastly, having a bigger database of drivers, the better for the game to rank higher during the season.

As it happens I realy like Nascar Thunder, but of course it isn't accessible enough to really play. I usually wind up hitting the wall or plowing into another car. So when James North offered Raceway to me I took it, and decided to turn it into a fully accessible, fully playable, version of Nascar Thunder without any of the official Nascar logos and trademarks involved. As far as how it will compare to other racing games out there it might be easier to list its features, and let you decide based on that information. Basically, since it is based on Nascar, actually an official Nascar game, all of the rules, flags, and points will be exactly the same as you would expect from a real race. Unlike other accessible racing games you will be racing against 39 other AI driven cars so we are talking a full monty here not three or four cars as is the case with games like Poll Position. Since I am using official points and scoring there will be a full season mode where you must race a total of 30 races, and if you have the highest score you get the racing cup. What I am probibly not going to include in Raceway, at least not 1.0, is a track editor, online racing, and some of those kind of features of Rail Racer. While I think they would be good additions I feel those can be added on later. In fact, I might even create it as a sort of expantion pack that costs a nominal upgrade fee like $10 or something like that. That way I can try and earn back some of the money lost when transfering between Alchemy and USA Games, and plus build upon an existing product as well.

Re: [Audyssey] drastic change for audio games
I agree Tom. While I've never owned a Nes I've been playing my Snes for years and certainly wouldn't be without it, and I do think it is a shame that people who've been blind from birth have never had chance to experience Turrican, Mega man, Metroid, Kirby, castlevania, pitfall, final fight or golden axe. speaking of Golden axe, it's actually funny you mention that game, sinse it's one I've been playing literally for years. I began at the age of about 6 before I even lost the site of my right eye on our amstrad cpc, and then got the amigar version at 10. I now have the Mega Drive (genesis), version (which had various gameplay additions), though have also played the arcade version on mame. If you want to find out about the game, there's a really rather good faq found at http://www.gamefaqs.com/genesis/563326-golden-axe/faqs/46983 which has full descriptions of all in game enemies complete with descriptions of their armour and weapons (great for me sinse those are details I can't see), their stats, strengths and weaknesses and character moves. Oh, and some nutter called dark also contributed various pieces of information as well. Something like this in audio would be fantastic, especially sinse we don't have any accessible side scrolling beat em ups at the moment (not with danger city's cancelation). Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] drastic change for audio games
Actually Tom, the Mega drive (genesis), version of Golden axe was released in 1990 I believe. It had a huge amount of add ons, such as a completely different extra last level and last boss, and a duel mode where you fought enemies in a closed arena. For these reasons, it's generally thought of as the ultimate version of the game, even though some aspects, such as the sequence showing a wounded soldier telling the heros about the capture of the king, were missed out. It's now been re-released both on Wii virtual console, and on the Gba as part of one of Sega's game collections. Beware the grue!

As RaceWay, is going to be good income for you Tom. As you describe it and a way to either able to update the drivers info historical stats data as part of the add ons or as a product to purchase every new season. To, keep the stats as real, the game needs the real stats. And by the stats, a system of grading the Team, and Pit Crew. For example the number of times a driver can been the number of races. AS you have mentioned in the email 39 drives, but the drivers database should not be just held to that. During a NACAR season, you will have local drivers who only can afford to race local. Or the times when drivers did not make the field. So, a team who is able to get in all 30 events will be grade A. But if the car has not finished a certain percentage of thier races should be graded as high for a high percentage and low for low percentage of finishing the race. So, the Pit Crew may not be to good and would get a D rating. Now on the other hand if a driver percentage for completing a race and due to crashing then the Driver is rating low. I am taking the rating system from the old Dos game, which I am working on for scripting with Jaws. But in what I was saying the driver stats is very important and other refferance material for creating other grading items in the game. Lastly, having a bigger database of drivers, the better for the game to rank higher during the season.

As it happens I realy like Nascar Thunder, but of course it isn't accessible enough to really play. I usually wind up hitting the wall or plowing into another car.

As far as how it will compare to other racing games out there it might be easier to list its features, and let you decide based on that information. Basically, since it is based on Nascar, actually an official Nascar game, all of the rules, flags, and points will be exactly the same as you would expect from a real race. Unlike other accessible racing games you will be racing against 39 other AI driven cars so we are talking a full monty here not three or four cars as is the case with games like Poll Position. Since I am using official points and scoring there will be a full season mode where you must race a total of 30 races, and if you have the highest score you get the racing cup. What I am probibly not going to include in Raceway, at least not 1.0, is a track editor, online racing, and some of those kind of features of Rail Racer.

Hi Alfredo, Yes, Draconis Entertainment is still in business, but they are currently in the process of converting all their games to C++, and using a new game engine they are writing from scratch. As far as Monkey Business goes it hasn't been updated in quite some time.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Hi Yohandy, Right. Not only that, but it helps spread the development out over multiple releases. One thing i've learned from Mysteries of the Ancients is it isn't possible to necessarily include every suggestion, idea, or desired feature in the initial release. That is just way too much work. However, there is an easy solution for that problem, and it is to create expantion packs or release updates to the game at some point after 1.0 is released. So I've had this idea in mind for a while now, and your suggestion to release expantion packs just cemented the idea for me. Obviously, for some games having expantion packs, whatever, wouldn't work as it might not work into the storyline or into the over all game mechanics well. However, I know several accessible games where some sort of expantion pack would work quite well. Raceway is one of them as it wouldn't hurt to create additional tracks, an online racing mode, and possibly the ability to add custom cars to the game at some point in the future. Cheers!

I'm not sure about raceway, --- motor racing not being my thing (I'll certainly give the game a try though), but extra levels with new enemies etc for side scrollers or 3D games in expantion packs would be fantastic, sinse they would just give you so much more exploration potential. I'm certain Q9, Gma tank commander, Shades of doom or indeed Mota would bennifit hugely from these sorts of expantions, and I for one would be extremely glad to pay for them, in fact this is a game model followed by several independent developers sinse they can essentially get more milage out of the same code.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Hi, Glad to here that. As I have said earlier I have been greatly influenced by games like Nascar Thunder, and what currently passes for accessible racing games don't satisfy me or measure up to what I've played in the mainstream market. In fact, when I got my hands on the Raceway source and read James North's notes on the project my first reaction was disappointment. Basicly, the original concept for Raceway was to be something like the old Poll Position games for Atari. You would have a red, blue, green, and yellow car with a number of different types of tracks. It came with a track editor I assume he was going to release to the public so you could create your own tracks which was nice, but the over all game play was pretty dull and boring in my opinion. You played one race against three other cars on the track without any money, points, season mode, etc. It was just a plane vinila racing game, and to be honest Topspeed 2 was better than the original Raceway design. I decided to go back and rewrite the entire game from scratch the way I invisioned a racing game should be using Nascar Thunder as a template. As a result not surprisingly my new version is more like a mainstream title rather than something like Mach 1, Topspeed, Mega Racer, whatever. It has the influence of professional games in mind here. In fact, Raceway is so much like Nascar Thunder I lifted the exact keyboard commands from the game since I am use to them. You You use the control key for the gas, spacebar for the breaks, up/down arrow to shift gears, and left and right stear the car. The h key blows your horn, and I've added several additional commands for output such as s for speed, r for rpms, f for fuel status, g for current flag condition, d for damage, etc. So hopefully I'll deliver something slightly a cut above the rest.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
I like the expansion pack idea.

As it happens I realy like Nascar Thunder, but of course it isn't accessible enough to really play. I usually wind up hitting the wall or plowing into another car. So when James North offered Raceway to me I took it, and decided to turn it into a fully accessible, fully playable, version of Nascar Thunder without any of the official Nascar logos and trademarks involved. As far as how it will compare to other racing games out there it might be easier to list its features, and let you decide based on that information. Basically, since it is based on Nascar, actually an official Nascar game, all of the rules, flags, and points will be exactly the same as you would expect from a real race. Unlike other accessible racing games you will be racing against 39 other AI driven cars so we are talking a full monty here not three or four cars as is the case with games like Poll Position. Since I am using official points and scoring there will be a full season mode where you must race a total of 30 races, and if you have the highest score you get the racing cup. What I am probibly not going to include in Raceway, at least not 1.0, is a track editor, online racing, and some of those kind of features of Rail Racer. While I think they would be good additions I feel those can be added on later. In fact, I might even create it as a sort of expantion pack that costs a nominal upgrade fee like $10 or something like that.

Re: [Audyssey] drastic change for audio games
Hi, Right. It has nothing to do with memrability of the sounds/music of those classic games. Sheesh, I know of some games where the sounds and music are completely memrable. Super Mario, for example, is a game where the music and sounds brings back many happy memories of my childhood playing classic NES games. No, what this has to do with is that for a totally blind gamer there really isn't meaningful context in hearing boing, boing, boing or boop, boop, boop when the player jumps, walks, or does something else. the Sounds are pretty primative compared to the ultra realistic soundscapes of today, but certainly are memrable.

Re: [Audyssey] Draconis Entertainment
Well as to why it's not being played, it's because the map file for that level was being placed in a different directory from the rest of them. You can correct this by going into your Application Data folder (in Vista it's simply Ap Data), which is usually in the Users folder under your name. Then I believe it's either Local or Roaming. Look for a Monkey Business folder in there and inside that folder is the Oldwest.map file. Copy or cut and paste it into c:\program files\draconis entertainment\monkey business and you'll have fixed the problem. Just note that if you lose all your lives during the Wild West level or quit the game on that level, if you resume your saved game without first exiting all the way out of the game you'll warp to the Surf N' Turf level. But if you exit the game completely first and then start the game up and reload the save, you'll be back in Wild West. Now to access the Ap Data you'll need to go into I believe folder options and turn on the option to show hidden files and folders. As to why this file is being improperly copied they haven't figured out.

Re: [Audyssey] drastic change for audio games
Hi Dark, Hahahahaha! Yeah, that would be pretty weird seeing King Arthor and the rest all armed to the teeth with all these Japanese weapons. However, fortunately I am enough of a historian and purest not to do something quite that rediculous. Grin. As far as why all these martial arts weapons are so popular consider who is writing most of the vidio games these days. Most of the major mainstream games are being put out by Japanese owned companies and naturally their culture gets fused heavily into their game releases. Martial arts is heavily important to the Japanese people, and instead of swords and weapons from a number of cultures people are getting exposed to one cultures concept of weaponry. I, on the other hand, have a rather indepth interest in ancient history and mythology. Thus why games like Tomb Hunter. As a result of that interest if I were to set a story in England during the early middle ages Arthor and the rest would be equipped suitably with weapons and armor present from that era not Japanese weapons.

Re: [Audyssey] drastic change for audio games
Certainly not about music, sinse game music is memorable in and of itself, in fact the award winning soundtracks to Turrican 1 and 2 were probably what got me really interested both in games, and in music with symphonic sounds and weerd miner chords even though they only used the amigars less than steller hardware. Now however, it's quite possible to have side scrollers like Q9 and Mota, which are much like Nes or Snes games such as castlevania etc, but have modern, engaging sound effects to make the gameplay fun, which is deffinately a worthy thing for audio games to do I think.

It has nothing to do with memrability of the sounds/music of those classic games. Sheesh, I know of some games where the sounds and music are completely memrable. Super Mario, for example, is a game where the music and sounds brings back many happy memories of my childhood playing classic NES games. No, what this has to do with is that for a totally blind gamer there really isn't meaningful context in hearing boing, boing, boing or boop, boop, boop when the player jumps, walks, or does something else. the Sounds are pretty primative compared to the ultra realistic soundscapes of today, but certainly are memrable.

Re: [Audyssey] drastic change for audio games
1989 was the last release date and the point when i first played the game at the age of six;. I know this both because it was the 20th aniversary last year, and because it was one of the last games I recall playing before I lost the vision in my right eye at the age of 7, which was in late 1989, thus I actually remember the Amstrad cpc version of the game with distinctly more detail than any other version I've played (my right eye was my best one). I suppose this is why Golden axe is another of those games which is really quite special to me, and one I stil don't get tired of playing on my Mega drive. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] drastic change needed for audio games
Hi Tom. I think you have a point... so many games are released by japanese companies that Katanas or martial arts are almost inevitable. Although, I think Japanese cultures also mesh wel with games, particularly the swords and fighting styles. I also have an interest in history and mythology though, and think the Katana is getting somewhat overused. I wouldn't complain about a game with say a roman gladus as Dark said, an aztec macuhitl, which is a club lined with obsidian as a kind of sword. The lattor could even be an addition to Mota, since it's about aztecs. Again, just my opinion. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] drastic change for audio games
Another point Tom, is that Swords have been considdered a great symbol of nobility in japanese culture for a long time, indeed there are historical periods when the lower classes weren't permitted to carry swords, hence the developement of farming tools as weapons like the Tonfa. An amusing take on this was a case my brother had when he was working for the police, in which someone attempted to claime that a Japanese rice flail was not an offensive weapon, --- neglecting to mention it's common name of nunchaku! As an interesting point for games though, just as there has been a western interest in Japanese culture, there are now several signs that interests are going the other way, --- for instance the recent anime, shivalier deon, set in the France of Luis the 14th.

Yeah, that would be pretty weird seeing King Arthor and the rest all armed to the teeth with all these Japanese weapons. However, fortunately I am enough of a historian and purest not to do something quite that rediculous. Grin. As far as why all these martial arts weapons are so popular consider who is writing most of the vidio games these days. Most of the major mainstream games are being put out by Japanese owned companies and naturally their culture gets fused heavily into their game releases. Martial arts is heavily important to the Japanese people, and instead of swords and weapons from a number of cultures people are getting exposed to one cultures concept of weaponry. I, on the other hand, have a rather indepth interest in ancient history and mythology. Thus why games like Tomb Hunter. As a result of that interest if I were to set a story in England during the early middle ages Arthor and the rest would be equipped suitably with weapons and armor present from that era not Japanese weapons.

As it happens I realy like Nascar Thunder, but of course it isn't accessible enough to really play. I usually wind up hitting the wall or plowing into another car. So when James North offered Raceway to me I took it, and decided to turn it into a fully accessible, fully playable, version of Nascar Thunder without any of the official Nascar logos and trademarks involved. As far as how it will compare to other racing games out there it might be easier to list its features, and let you decide based on that information. Basically, since it is based on Nascar, actually an official Nascar game, all of the rules, flags, and points will be exactly the same as you would expect from a real race. Unlike other accessible racing games you will be racing against 39 other AI driven cars so we are talking a full monty here not three or four cars as is the case with games like Poll Position. Since I am using official points and scoring there will be a full season mode where you must race a total of 30 races, and if you have the highest score you get the racing cup. What I am probibly not going to include in Raceway, at least not 1.0, is a track editor, online racing, and some of those kind of features of Rail Racer. While I think they would be good additions I feel those can be added on later. In fact, I might even create it as a sort of expantion pack that costs a nominal upgrade fee like $10 or something like that. That way I can try and earn back some of the money lost when transfering between Alchemy and USA Games, and plus build upon an existing product as well.

Although, I think Japanese cultures also mesh wel with games, particularly the swords and fighting styles. I also have an interest in history and mythology though, and think the Katana is getting somewhat overused. I wouldn't complain about a game with say a roman gladus as Dark said, an aztec macuhitl, which is a club lined with obsidian as a kind of sword. The lattor could even be an addition to Mota, since it's about aztecs. Again, just my opinion. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Well, Phil has a god point, but it could be just using the arror keys could be clutching as well. If the Thurder game has an option for either auto, then yes, I would go with Phil's point. AS Tom is wanting the game to be as close as the Thurder game. In fact it could be a advance driver settings. For example of this you would have to get out of the pits on your own. Smiles, which can be realy hard for novices. Certainly Race Way is not going to be a jperfect match for the Thurday game, as Tom describe adding keys to hear certain thinks. And not to mention the Pit Chief saying when a turn is coming and other sound effects indicaters. Tom got a task on his hand. To make the playable for those who dreamed of playing it with it being like Thunder , and yet to build it in a way to allow the game to make a profit in purchases. Having the game able to allow the gamer to grow with it, as being first a novice and then when getting better try a few options. ONe thing Tom don't want the game to be to hard in a way, many gamers wn't want to purchase it. Race Way is going not be a game where you achieve one level with success and able to move on. Instead Race Way one needs to learn how to drive with a keyboard. Even though there are stages in the game to master, is the reason why a set of class of gamers in the game is needed. Let the gamer be comfortable at what ever level and options available. Once there get the hang of it they can try new things like a clutch transmission. And this may not have to be in verion 1.0 as it can be an option in the game.

For me, in the version 1.0, the real race against 39 cars, the season mode with the nashcar's points system and maybe difrent weather conditions would make allready a brilliant game! The rest could come later. I will be one of the first customers paying for this game! I sincerly think that this game can make a real revolution in our market.

As it happens I realy like Nascar Thunder, but of course it isn't accessible enough to really play. I usually wind up hitting the wall or plowing into another car. So when James North offered Raceway to me I took it, and decided to turn it into a fully accessible, fully playable, version of Nascar Thunder without any of the official Nascar logos and trademarks involved. As far as how it will compare to other racing games out there it might be easier to list its features, and let you decide based on that information. Basically, since it is based on Nascar, actually an official Nascar game, all of the rules, flags, and points will be exactly the same as you would expect from a real race. Unlike other accessible racing games you will be racing against 39 other AI driven cars so we are talking a full monty here not three or four cars as is the case with games like Poll Position. Since I am using official points and scoring there will be a full season mode where you must race a total of 30 races, and if you have the highest score you get the racing cup. What I am probibly not going to include in Raceway, at least not 1.0, is a track editor, online racing, and some of those kind of features of Rail Racer. While I think they would be good additions I feel those can be added on later. In fact, I might even create it as a sort of expantion pack that costs a nominal upgrade fee like $10 or something like that. That way I can try and earn back some of the money lost when transfering between Alchemy and USA Games, and plus build upon an existing product as well.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Well, I have been a long time supporter of the Add ons. Here is what I see for the Race Way Splash Screen. In this top menu for the game having the following: 1. Enter the Race Way 2. Options 3. Points and Standings 4. Garage 5. Sponsorships 6. Driver and Car Editor 7. Tracks 8. Game devices 9. Online and Credits 0. Exit + 9 = links to the game site with credits and other online links. 8 = Page to setting up the game with joysticks / Wheel with pedals 7 = Tracks page, where an editor could be, but would have a place where one can jump quickly to practice . This page can also be used for your stats page for these tracks. Showing your best lap times and race stats. 6 = This will bring you to a page where editing can be done, or a download page for other season. Basicly, a page for getting add ons if there is no editor to create one's own season. 5 = Tom's page idea page for Sponsorship. This also could handle a editor for giving the chance to edit fake sponsorships for real ones, if the gamer desires. 4 - Used to build and set up your racer. Such as spoiler and stacking up the waight on the side of the car. And if Tom uses any kind of color schema in the game a color painting can be done here. For me its a lime green body and yellow writting. In the Play by play colors could be used. In fact I would loke to see in the game to have a way to add one's own PBP for the Track Anouncer. For example if my car is a Pontiac and number 39 and I gave myself the name of Crash Whitting here on this page. Then setting the option in the PBP when I get the lead say this: Crash Whittington in his Lime Green and Yellow Pontia number 39 has just moved into first place on Lap ##. Having a PBP is great, allowing the gamer to collect info during the event. 3 = The main stats page. You will also be able to save and print or maybe even Blog. 2. Game options to select your driveing rating and Etc... And finally, the reason why I am writing this email. 1 = Looking at the game as being programmed in modules, so ad ons can be incorporated during its programming cycles. This option will allow the game to enter a screen where they can do the following when participating in a season. Here they can pick in a standard season 30 races with 40 entries. Custom Season, where the gamer selects the number of races, laps and the number of cars. Race Day, for selecting a track, the number of lapps and cars. The rest of the menu options beside Exit screen would have options as in. 2009 Standare Season 2009 Custom Season 2008 Standare Season And Etc. So, the top options is to create the new desired season, while the bottom would have the partly played season. On these option, they could include Next Race Atlanta. With these verible option menus that can change and be add on to in the game will allow expansion of the game. In the same way viewing the game stats can have a list box of the seasons with stats to choice from. So, where there is a core change in the main game program, the already played seasons will not be effected. Since this would be databases holding the info and just text files for the stats. I hope this helps you Tom in any way, I am also taking my ideas from NASCar Thunder and another DOS Stock Car game. I am not trying to say how the game should be, but giving some input on what I also had the chance to play with for racing sims and other sport sims. As even the Strat sport games have this moduler style, so when an update to the man game is done it does not effect other sections of the game when possible. And if there is something here you can use, please do so and keep this email for the development of the game. Oh, no, I just got a cricket in my house. Smiles, sounds like a new game.
