Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts About Healing Potions
Fair enough Tom. I must admit, action games with extra add ons in the way of powers, weapons and places to explore have been probably my favourite genre, one reason I like the mega man series so much sinse you have many weapons to play with, and things to find, in fact in the later mmx games, you even get a choice of characters and character armour that has a huge effect on gameplay.

Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts About Healing Potions
Right, agreed. I just go this idea from games like onimusha, where you would hit start to pause the game and l1 and r1 move you through different tabs. You start on weapons, and to equip one you scrol down and hit x. Ten if you hit r1 it moves yu to health items, magical items, keys, etc. But I think it wouldn't unbalance the game to much to have different potions. So long as there was a way to keep them from being overpowering... say, if you had an invisibility potion, only have you be invisible up to a certain distance, or when you started attacking. Invincibility I could see being harder though. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2010 2:37 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts About Healing Potions Hi, I don't think that would be very hard. To me I think it is more a matter how far would we actually take this idea. If we put the healing potions off in a menu by themselves that means we could also put several different types of potions in that menu like an invincibility potion or an invisibility potion in there. In such a case then we are talking increasing the amount of work involved as well as perhaps unbalancing the game too much. Yet having a variety of different potions would make the game a bit more interesting. Then again, we could do something similar with the scrolls and gems. Right now they aren't really important items. Just treasure items really. What if the gemstones were magic stones and could be used to perform certain magical tasks, or a scroll could be used to cast a new spell. All kinds of ideas could come from this suggestion of yours.

Hi Dark, Well, i guess what I'm aiming for is a greater degree of realism.

Hi, Well, the way I just added it to the engine the moment you start taking damage it stops healing and you begin taking damage.

Hi Phil, Well, the way the game mechanics works if Angela's health reaches 0 or less she's stone cold dead regardless if she just drank a potion or not.

Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts About Healing Potions
I like the magic gems and puzles notion, for instance an ice crystal could give you temporary immunity to fire allowing you to leg it through some inconveneint flames. However, Having a modern day archaeologist suddenly spouting spells from ancient scrolls she just runs across in a tomb? - hmmm, That seems a bit too far out to me especially with guns blazing and bullits flying the rest of the time. Making use of magical devices currently in the tombs, eg, a magic sword gem or key seems okay sinse afterall these are ancient artifacts, but reading spells from scrolls implies that Dr. Carter herself has the ability to cast magic, which just seems bizarre! Afterall, the lady's name is Angela Carter, not potter! ;D. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts About Healing Potions
Hi Lori, Well, the traps are that way to make the game more challenging. If someone actually landed in a spike pit for real they would probably suffer a long painful death. The way those pits were designed in ancient times they were a deep dirt pit with spikes in it, and if you fell into it you couldn't climb back out of it. Not to mention you would probibly have several major organs run through by several spikes so couldn't get up out of there if you wanted too. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] SOD
Hi Lori, Agreed. There are as many ways to make coffee as there are stars in the sky, or so it seams. Fact of the matter is it depends on the type of bean you use, how it is ground, weather you use a special blend, how strong you make it, etc. Unfortunately, the people who hate coffee, or claim to, don't often realize is that no two types of coffee taiste exactly the same. I like coffee, but I've drank some coffee that I couldn't stand. Then, I have had some coffee that was excellent, and drank several cups full. Just depends on the coffee and who makes it.

Re: [Audyssey] shades of doom?
Hi Bryan, Yes, that is fairly common in modern FPS games. Several of the Tomb Raider games, as you mentioned, only use music in certain situations. They are typically triggered by some action in the game like entering a puzzle room or an enemy is about to attack etc. On 6/2/10, Bryan Peterson wrote: > I remember I was one of the public Beta testers for the game.

Re: [Audyssey] shades of doom?
Having intermitant playing music in shades was imho a good idea, sinse as they only seem to have one or two music tracks, it's better for them to be occasional as they are. If however David includes more music when he revamps the game, eg, one theme per floor as actual doom games have, then imho it should play constantly sinse it highlights the fact your really in a different environment to the one you started in.

Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts About Healing Potions
Hi Tom I agree with that, could you make it sililar to SOD in that your health recovers slowley over time, then if you do find potions you could conserve some of them for later on in the game. Also could I make a suggestion about spikes? I thought if you accidentally land in iether spikes or fire you wouldn't die at once, you'd have a few seconds to get out, like in some games if something like a trap hurts you and you get away fast enough you just use a med kit or potion to see if that will help. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2010 1:04 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Thoughts About Healing Potions Hi everyone, As I have mentioned before I'm currently doing a major revamp of Mysteries of the Ancients this week, working on some game mechanics, adding a bit more here and there to the levels, etc and there is one issue that has been on my mind for a while now and that regards the healing potions themselves. As it stands now if you pick up a healing potion and drink it you instantly regain all of your health, air, and strength at once. This is a throwback to the old arcade game days when if you drank a healing potion all of your health bars etc were completely restored. While that is great for an old arcade game such as Montezuma's Revenge more modern games don't necessarily do it this way prefering more realism over a quick health boost. For example, one thing I've commonly seen done in mainstream games is if you use a health restore like a med kit or something it only restores 20 to 25 percent of your health. This means it requires multiple med kits to restore you back to full health. Another way I've seen it done, and the one I'm considering here, is if you use a health restore such as drinking a potion it doesn't take full effect right away. In other words if you drink one of the healing potions your health meter will slowly start going back up and it might take a minute or so for your health, strength, etc to be fully restored. If we take it into consideration it does take the human body a little while to react to a healing potion this would be the most realistic approach to using health restores in games. What do you think? Thanks. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Oh, I don't plan a release of beta 13 for a few days so you have some time to work on Shades of Doom this week. Unfortunately, if you are having troubles with Shades of Doom wait until my own FPS titles start coming out. they will be a full 3d environment which will be more complex than Shades of Doom which I hope won't be too hard for many VI gamers. Nothing like I am planning has ever been tried before in audio, and unfortunately Shades of Doom is the closest I can compare my new games too. On 6/1/10, Charles Rivard wrote: I've never been able to put my finger on exactly why, but Shades Of Doom is one of those games that I have never been able to get into for any length of time. I like the sounds, and I like playing it. But I just don't seem to think, "Hmm. I think I'll play SOD for a bit." I bought the game when it first came out on a CD. I bought Lone Wolf at the same time, and qlay it quite a bit. But I just haven't gotten into playing SOD all that much. Anyway, last night, I found a bit of time to play it. Finally, at long last, I have found the elevator and reached level 2! Now, I've got to do it without using the training mode on the "It's my turn, Daddy?" skill level. Sheesh! Even the demo is a challenge, and fun! Now if I could only remember all the spoilers I have seen for this game, I could win! Heh heh heh. One of the problems is that Thomas Ward will be coming out with MOTA, and SOD will, once again, be put on a back burner. --- In God we trust. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

It isn'ta monster, but a rip in the time space continuum. The only way you can avoid being transported by the temperal disturbance is wait until it enters a room you explored, rush passed it, and then lock it in the room. Harder said than done, but you can do it. Second, to leave area 8 look for a teleporter that takes you to area 9. That's all I'm going to say about that. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] Thoughts About Healing Potions
Hi Thomas, What happens if after drinking a potion she is attacked and her health goes below 0 while the potion is still working? I believe in Dungeons and Dragons you can go below 0 hit points by negative 10 but if below 0 you are unconscious and can not move. If you hit negative 11 you are dead and only a priest can bring you back. If a working potion or spell restores you back to 1 health, then you wake up. I think the sound effect of her feeling better should wait until the potion is finished working. To be more realistic, after being poisoned, a lower pitched walking sound will make it seem like she is walking slower due to the poison.

Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side
Hi Crash, Oh, guess that I had not even thought of a pause or save feature in an auto race game. Guess that I was still thinking of like with my original Mach 1 racing game with the racing league and my new tts version where the goal is to learn the track and drive it as fast as you possibly can. It is timed to one one thousandth of a second and in the league we had races decided by times that close. But I guess that a goal of getting ahead of and staying ahead of the other cars on the track would be more like a nascar race. Still not sure about a pause or save feature in a nascar race though. I personally like the time trial sort of thing trying to drive the track as fast as possible without other cars in the way. I most often played that mode in Atari Pole Position. It seems like more of a skill thing for me without the other random cars in the way. Guess having to get around random cars could be a skill as well though.

Crash - Original Message - From: "Jim Kitchen" To: "Thomas Ward" Sent: Sunday, May 30, 2010 8:53 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Raceway was The other side Hi Thomas, Not to be too picky, but the nascar season has 36 scheduled races and they start 43 cars in all races. I also wonder how realistic you really want to be with a race game. I mean 43 car engines are going to sound like a swarm of mad bees. And just for the heck of it, try racing maybe 200 laps on say my Painsville oval track. It takes allot of mental and physical endurance to race even a simple track for 3 to 4 hours. I don't mean to be negative, just giving you some of my thoughts. Got to go and get ready to watch 1,100 miles of auto racing today. BFN - Original Message - Hi Charles, Well, at the time I took over development of Raceway from James North I invisioned it as an accessible version of Nascar Thunder 2004 by EA Games. 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.

How do you react to a situation where the good lady falls under attack whilst healing? Does she keep gaining health until she is up to full health, or do you set a maximum increase amount that it will not go above before the healing potion is expended? In other words, do you give a certain healing amount that is done gradually, rather than restore her to full health regardless of attacks during restoration? Kind regards, Philip Bennefall - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2010 2:04 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Thoughts About Healing Potions Hi everyone, As I have mentioned before I'm currently doing a major revamp of Mysteries of the Ancients this week, working on some game mechanics, adding a bit more here and there to the levels, etc and there is one issue that has been on my mind for a while now and that regards the healing potions themselves. As it stands now if you pick up a healing potion and drink it you instantly regain all of your health, air, and strength at once. This is a throwback to the old arcade game days when if you drank a healing potion all of your health bars etc were completely restored. While that is great for an old arcade game such as Montezuma's Revenge more modern games don't necessarily do it this way prefering more realism over a quick health boost. For example, one thing I've commonly seen done in mainstream games is if you use a health restore like a med kit or something it only restores 20 to 25 percent of your health. This means it requires multiple med kits to restore you back to full health. Another way I've seen it done, and the one I'm considering here, is if you use a health restore such as drinking a potion it doesn't take full effect right away. In other words if you drink one of the healing potions your health meter will slowly start going back up and it might take a minute or so for your health, strength, etc to be fully restored. If we take it into consideration it does take the human body a little while to react to a healing potion this would be the most realistic approach to using health restores in games.

Hi Thomas, Yes, waiting a minute or two is a good idea. However, what if you then get attacked in that minute or two? Do you stop healing or do you continue to be healed?
