Re: [Audyssey] WII Bowling
You can throw the ball backward and scare the heck out of the audience, and you can throw the ball into the next lane and hear them laugh at you. That's just in Wii sports bowling, but there are entire Wii DVD's devoted to bowling, baseball and so on. Biggs 2009 baseball is well-narrated. Only problem is there is no auto-fielding so you're gonna get slaughtered by the computer. Still fun though. I haven't tried the bowling and golf games available, but I imagine there's a lot of narration there too. Do you live near Sandusky Ohio, or are you planning a trip to Cedar Point?

Re: [Audyssey] WII Bowling
Hi Charles, Yes, needing sighted help is why I have not bought a WII, XBox etc etc. I had planned to just go down and listen to them play, but decided to ask and see if I could do it with their help. It helped that in the corner of the screen it told the number of each pin that was left standing. The crowd cheers, or, oos, so you can tell if you got a strike, picked up the spare or missed it. And I heard a tiny bit of commentary such as nice you picked up the spare, but that was about all I heard. Several people there though so I may have missed some of what the game was saying.

Re: [Audyssey] Jd error on japanese windows
Hi Dark, I don't know what is causing the crash for sure much less a solution, but I can tell you that the ascii character code and the Japanese character set are completely incompatible. That's why computer programmers came up with unicode. Unicode, which is the default character encoding from Windows 2000 onwards, includes not just the standard Western European characters but support for Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, Greek, etc character sets as well. Basically, it is a universal character code that allows you to support any language and system of writing imaginable. The ascii characters are more or less limited to standard English characters such as a through z, 0 through 9, and a few special characters like the pound sign, periods, commas, tabs, spaces, etc. Not enough to support very unusual characters such as Japanese or chinese characters. However, that shouldn't have anything to do with Judgment day crashing. Dark wrote: Hi.

[Audyssey] Looking for some usb gamepad advice.
I wrote the letter a few days ago with no responce. So I thought that I'd try once again. Now here's the original letter for help. Hi to all, I'm thinking of up dating my philips 2909. Someone recommended a ps3 usb gamepad. Just was wondering if anyone from the list has one and if so, what they think of it? Also was looking for a layout of all of the buttons and their features and if it has one stick or two. Also, if at all possible, a txt copy of the manual would be nice as well. I'm looking for something that has force feedback of course. Then must work with the three flight simulators. Jim Kitchen's puppy one, BPC Programs tdv and let's see if we can't get it to work with fsx and IYP. The jurrey is still out on fsx and IYP. Would like it to work with aliens in the outback. Then from bsc games classic pipe, hunter, troopanum and especially blast chamber. The philips 2909 works greatwith puppy one and tdv, but I can't get it to work with blast chamber and it's tricky to get it to work with the other above mentioned games. So was looking for some advice to up grade. Someone told me that it does work with blast chamber. I think the problem I was having with the philips 2909 and blast chamber is that I couldn't twist off the valves. I couldn't even get through the practice round with the usb handheld and that's bad enough. SMILES. So thanks to all in advance.

Re: [Audyssey] Jd error on japanese windows
Hi Dark, Ummm...that's kind of my point though. There is no such thing as ascii machines running Windows. Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, etc all use unicode characters not ascii by default. That's part of the reason why programming in Microsoft Visual C++ using the Windows API is such a pain in the tail. You can't use standard ascii character strings, but must wrap the string using an unicode macro that converts the ascii string to unicode before passing it to a function. The SAPI Speak function is a simple case in point. In the old Dos and early Windows days you could use an ascii string constant like const char* message = Hello world!; and pass it to a function. Unfortunately, now that the Windows API is all based on unicode you can't really do that. the ascii string Hello world! has to be converted to an unicode string like LPWCSTR message = TEXT (Hello world!); instead. The TEXT() macro basically takes Hello world! and converts it from ascii to unicode and passes it to a Win API unicode string constant which can then be passed to a function like THE SAPI Speak function as follows. voice-Speak (message, 0, SPSF_Default); So as I said earlier when it comes to Windows programming there is no such thing as an ascii machine. Everything is converted to unicode before it gets passed to the Windows API. That goes for window titles, labels, error messages, whatever. It all gets converted to unicode before it is displayed on screen or gets spoken by SAPI. The major difference between C++ and something like one of the .Net languages in C++ you manually have to do the conversion yourself by passing ascii characters through macros where the .Net Framework does it automatically if you are using C# .Net or Visual Basic .Net.

Re: [Audyssey] Jd error on japanese windows
Hi Phil, Hmmm...That does make sense. Part of the problem here is that Visual Basic 6, the language a lot of accessible games are written in, was released in 1998 before the Windows unicode standard was a core part of the Windows operating system and Windows API. Unicode support on Windows really wasn't fully standardized until Windows XP was released in 2001 which obviously made languages like Visual Basic 6 obsolete unless the developer in question intentionally created his or her software using unicode support. Future versions of Visual Basic like Visual Basic .Net, which was released in 2002, resolved a lot of problems inherent in Visual Basic 6 and earlier, but as you can see several game developers here haven't adopted Visual basic .Net and still are using Visual Basic 6 even though it is far passed its prime.

Since I had promised to release a side-scroller I changed my plans for Mysteries of the Ancients to bea a First-Person game and decided to release it as a side-scroller. Unfortunately, that decision has made me deeply unhappy with the game ever since. I'm afraid to say I'll never fully be satisfied with it until I am given the freedom to create the game I wanted and not the one the public apparently wants. The lesson I've learned is the only person who can make me happy is mme, and I shouldn't be influenced too much about public opinion. Fact of the matter is once MOTA is released I am going to be a lot less open about customer input, comments, and suggestions. If it is something I agree with, happen to like, etc sure I'll go ahead and do it. If not they can just forget it. I'm a little tired of the constant requests to add this or that when it clearly is not something I would have added or done myself. It is my game, I should be able to create it the way I want, but I haven't ever been allowed to really do that ever since I started work on it. So future games in the series will be done my way or no way at all. They can love it or hate it. I don't really care. Anyway, I see your point about possibly confusing weapons like swords, knives, arrows, etc as they all sound pretty much the same. That's something I hadn't really thought about, but makes a world of sense. So I think I should probibly just leave things as they are in that case.

Re: [Audyssey] Panning Weapon Sounds in MOTA
Hi Tom, I would also be annoyed with those requests that are often stupid, and more often unwanted. You say that it is your game, but still, you sell it to the custommers. And there are people who would think this way: If the developer doesn't add the feature I requested, I will not buy the game most likely. And if you insist on refusing the requests and if you say openly and publicly it's my game, you will make less money from it. Don't understand this as an attack, just a thaught. Regards!

Hi Thomas, Easy. creature's sword and dagger sounds should be positioned in the center, or right on Angela . While Angela's sword and dagger sounds would be off to the left or right of center.

Hi Tom. That is fine as regards games, I was just making a general observation that could apply to any audio side scroller. So for example, you've mentioned being interested in possibly creating an audio castlevania. Well, one enemy in super castlevania was the whip skeleton, who used a whip like you did, and obviously the panning issue would apply there too. ditto with the fight betwene Megaman and your clone.

Re: [Audyssey] Panning Weapon Sounds in MOTA
Hi, It isn't that the ideas are stupid, but more a difference in opinion how the game should be created. One person might view a suggestion/idea one way, and I may view it completely different. It doesn't make that persons idea dumb or stupid, but may be something I don't want to do as it conflicts with my own ideas, or limits my creativity in unforeseen ways. For example, one feature a lot of gamers wanted is random monsters and treasure items. Ok, it is not a bad idea, but there are certainly times where that wouldn't be desirable. There are always pros and cons for randomly placing monsters and items. Here is a simple example of what I mean. Let's assume you have an underground lake or something filled with water. Angela has to dive into it and gather up gold coins and precious jewls like diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, etc from the bottom of the lake. Well, not just any monster can be randomly placed there. You can't stick a centaur or harpy there as they can't breath underwater so it would have to be something that can survive underwater like a skeleton or a hydra. That rules out picking a random monster unless the random generator is area specific. Since creating an area specific random generator is completely inpractical it rules that idea out. The same goes for placing random items in the lake. If I only want gold coins and jewls to be in it why randomly place them there? You see my point? When a gamer tosses an idea out there like let's have random monsters and items they are only thinking how this feature will add replay value or something for them personally. What they may not have conciddered is that very same feature restricts the developer from doing something else he might have done instead. You just unintentionally limited the developers creativity by not allowing him to create that underground lake filled with lots of gold coins, jewls, and nasty skeletons. They just don't stop to consider how their suggestion or feature request might drasticly change the game like that. There suggestion for random monsters etc has hurt the game in other ways maybe not so obvious like balancing the game out so some rooms are challenging and some are easy to pas through based on what is in it. There might be a burial chamber filled with hundreds of gold coins guarded by two very powerful centaurs. Given the treasure inside obviously you would expect the challenge to be intense, but not impossible. The developer can balance the fight through trial and error so it is the way he intends it to be. If you stick any random monster there you are never going to get the type of challenge you want because two skeletons, for example, aren't going to put up the same kind of a challenge as two centaurs. Might make the game more random, more replayable perhaps, but never going to provide the same degree of challenge from game to game. It is also harder to test, because the variables are never the same. In other cases it just boils down to preference. I myself enjoy games that are challenging. If they aren't reasonably challenging I won't play them. That is just how I am, and why I want to create games that have a high degree of challenge in them. However, I constantly get requests to make this or that easier for gamer x, because he/she finds the game too hard. Most recently I have gotten quite a number of requests to have some indication when to jump when the player gets close to a fire, spikes, whatever. In my personal opinion that would make the game too easy, and if I have to tell a player when to jump, rather than letting them discover that on his/her own, i might as well take all the traps out of the game. Why have them at all if they are just going to cheat anyway? Of course, they often don't see such a request as cheating, but in my opinion if you have to have a certain sound or the main character say something to tell you when to jump over a trap then that's cheating in my book. I don't like game cheats, never have, and never will. So obviously that opinion is going to conflict with any kind of suggestion or idea that allows a person to cheat or simplify a trap I intentionally tried to make challenging to jump over. If someone doesn't want to play my games as designed, play by my rules, then go play Super Liam or something else. I shouldn't have to compromise with customers over the games design and difficulty level. However, as you said this attitude/opinion will likely turn some customers away. Turn them off simply because they can't have their way. However, who is the primary person that I'm creating the games for? Me or the customers? Well, if you answered the customers you would be absolutely wrong. I never started USA Games to create games simply for the customers. I started it up because I wanted to create games that I liked, I wanted to play, and make a little cash on the side by selling those games to the public. That's why I am so sorely bent out of shape over how MOTA came out. I wasn't

However, no thanks to the copyright issues over Montezuma's Revenge I was stuck, and had to create something to make good on my preorders. Ever since then I have had to put up with an endless stream of player input like I want a side-scroller not a FPS game, I want random monsters, I want random items, I want this, and i want that. I want, I want, I want. Can you imagine how sick I get of hearing that when I was planning on creating this game for myself not them, and the only reason I have created the game as it currently is happens to be because I got screwed over the Montezuma's Revenge copyrights?

Re: [Audyssey] question
Hi, \Well, there are 17 that come with the game itself and there are close to 100 user created missions. It is definitely a game that can keep you busy playing for hours upon hours. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Panning Weapon Sounds in MOTA
Hi Milos and all, Well, let's put it this way. I think every audio game developer out there writes the games he or she does is because they want to. We all have our own personal motivations for creating the games we do, and it usually isn't because of money. Jim Kitchen writes games like Monopoly, NFL, Hangman, etc simply because that is the kinds of games he likes and wants to play. David Greenwood has created games like Shades of Doom, Lone Wolf, Time of Conflict largely because those are the kinds of games he wanted to play and made some extra money off of them too. I'm not so different. I create the games I do because I want too not because I am in it strictly for the money although I do like making a little extra money on the side for my time, effort, and to help pay for the sounds and music for the games. However, when it comes to Mysteries of the Ancients that is a special case. I originally assumed development of Montezuma's Revenge simply because it was a game that I had played often as a kid, happened to enjoy, and wouldn't mind creating an audio remake of it. Plus James North had taken a lot of money for the game, and was not able to complete it so I took it over. However,when it seamed I was getting close to a final release I got the screws put to me by the copyright holders and had to abandon the project. I then was put in the position of replacing the game with something of equal or better value. Well, as it happens I was drawing up plans for a game I simply called Tomb Hunter that was to be largely based on Tomb Raider, but would feature its own unique story, main character, etc. With little choice I decided to tell people about the new game and let people know what I was willing to replace Montezuma's Revenge with. Right away people started complaining about the fact the game I had planned on replacing Monte with was an FPS game not a side-scroller as originally planned etc. A few told me outright if I didn't create a side-scroller or whatever they wanted their money back, I was being dishonest, and so on. That's when You could say I was really caught between a rock and a hard place. I couldn't give everyone their money back because I didn't have all of it. James North took several preorders, and as part of the trade agreement he got to keep the money for the preorders in exchange for the games Alchemy was creating. As a result I couldn't give back money I never had in the first place. I also could not create one of the games because I just got told by the copyright holder to stop development or face the possibility of having my butt dragged into court and getting sued for copyright infringement. Then, I had a game idea I was realy interested in creating, was willing to release it to the preordered customers only to be told that people didn't like it because it wasn't a side-scroller. So I created the game as a side-scroller as a compromise. However, that doesn't mean I was happy about it. I've never been happy about it, and nor will I ever be happy about it. It is just I wanted to create the game one way, but on the other hand I had about $2,000 worth of preordered customers who wanted something else. I certainly owed them something so felt no choice but to create the game they wanted rather than the one I wanted. When that happened all the enjoyment of creating the game went out the window, and it simply became work. Nothing more and nothing less. Considering the fact I started USA Games to do as a hobby, to do for fun, basicly for recreation I didn't consider writing games like STFC or Montezuma's Revenge as work. With Mysteries of the Ancients that is all it is to me work. It is nothing but work, work, and more work with no personal enjoyment. I get no pleasure out of creating games I don't want to create. That is the reason I am so angry and frustrated with the way things have turned out. I wish people would have just taken the game I was going to create and not made a big deal over if it was another side-scroller or an FPS game. Cheers! On 6/23/10, Milos Przic milos.pr...@gmail.com wrote: Well i know the Case about the Montezuma game, but I didn't know the fact that you made the USA Games just for you, only because you sell your games. If the profit is nso important for you, the ok, do it as you want and in that case you are absolutely right. If you strictly make evidence of how much you give for providing the stuff needed for making your game, and how much you get from the customers, and whether the sum that you get is bigger than the sum that you give, if it is one of more, if not most important things in your work, then you have to satisfy the custommers. As about the ideas, well, I see the point and it is very true. The problem is that everyone wants a game suited for he himself. You can say: If you want quite that way, go away and make one for yourself, but that's another thing. We players don't understand you developers until we don't try working.
Re: [Audyssey] Panning Weapon Sounds in MOTA
Hi Thomas, I do not mean this to sound rude, or anything like that, but, maybe you should stop asking people what they would like to see in MOTA, or if this sounds better than that or this or that etc etc, and just finish the game as is. Then of course you could get on to games that you would like to create and hopefully those games will be great games that allot of people like and buy and of course make you happy to create and play.
