Re: [Audyssey] Seamlessly upgrading DirectX
Hi Thomas, I know what you mean, and agree with you. But I also feel that it very much depends on what types of games you make. You, being a lover of all things that is 3d as far as I can gather, probably see it as a much bigger issue not being able to take advantage of the fabulous sound that a true 3d landscape can give. But personally I tend to produce games that don't require 3d at all or can function very well without it. I choose to do this as to not force my users to go out and buy additional hardware in order to play my game. The community is small enough as it is and sales are sparse, and so limiting them even further by having above average hardware requirements would be like shooting myself in the foot. I know for a fact that I would not personally go out and buy a surround sound setup to play an audio game. Being a hobby musician and recording engineer I spend all my money on improving my studio, and it'd have to be a pretty darn good game that could make me take money away from my next high-end microphone purchase to not only pay for the game itself but also to go out and get special gaming hardware. If you really wanted to impose the requirement of a full 3d setup to play your future games, you should probably have a special stereo mode available as well that does not use the 3d simulation features of the renderer since I, among others whom I've spoken to, find those a lot harder to comprehend when listening as compared to normal stereo. As for OpenAl, I remember at the time that the thought of silently bundling it with my installer didn't even cross my mind. I was not aware that this was even possible back then, and so didn't look around for options. Might be a good thing that I didn't, though, or I wouldn't have Streemway. Smile.

I found that to be the main issue with the 3d rendering in DirectSound. It gave a very poor experience for those who did not actually have a 5.1 setup which I do not, and I believe most people will be using stereo either through headphones or speakers. My reply: Well, unfortunately not very well I'm afraid. That's the problem with FMOD, OpenAL, DirectSound, etc. In order to get high quality 3d virtual audio you have to have the hardware to do it. Either a set of 5.1 headphones such as I have, or go out and buy yourself a set of 5.1 surround sound speakers. The proper hardware is really a requirement if you plan to get true 3d virtualization using OpenAL, XAudio2, FMOD, whatever. Which is really the source of the problem for us as game developers. The ggaming technologies are litterally growing by leaps and bounds and weather you are using Linux, Mac OS, or Windows there are decent APIs that render pretty realistic 5.1 surround sound. The problem is that computers don't ship with a set of Creative Labs 5.1 pro gaming speakers etc so in order to get the kind of speakers you need that is another $75 to $99 investment which most gamers won't bother paying for unless they have a need for it which creates a kind of chicken and egg situation. Gamers won't buy 5.1 surround sound speakers or headphones because at present there aren't that many games that really need it. On the other hand developers such as you and I hesitate to include 5.1 surround sound in our games because if they don't have the hardware to begin with there is no reason to bother with it. they won't hear it, and if anything it won't sound that good on a ordinary set of stereo speakers or headphones. I don't really know what to do about that myself, because it seams like a case of darned if you do and darned if you don't. Philip wrote: I did look at OpenAl a few years ago before I decided to have Streemway developed, but got discouraged by the fact that it could not be bundled in with the game as far as I could gather at the time. My reply: Hmmm..I don't know about that. As far as I know there is no restriction of bundling OpenAL with your product as long as you provide a copy of the end user license agreement for it. Plus there are now two different branches of OpenAL now. there is a copy of OpenAL, the original version hosted and maintained by Creative Labs, and another one called OpenAL Soft. OpenAL Soft is the version run on Linux and Mac OS as their version his being regularly updated, and is the version I would use for development since it appears to be better maintained/updated. As far as redistribution goes I'm not sure what you read to give you that impression that it can't be bundled with a product.

Re: [Audyssey] problem installing all in play software under windows 7.
Hi John, Couldn't agree with you more. There are a number of problems and issues with Jaws that Freedom Scientific has refused to address for one reason or another. Many of them are in Jaws 12, and were reported as early as Jaws 10 and Jaws 11. One of the bugs I know they haven't fixed for sure is on Windows seven if you open a directory it incorrectly identifies how many icons, files, or folders are in the directory. I reported this to support back when JFW 11 came out, and Jaws 12 comes out and the bug is still there. That's one reason I let my SMA run out, and have no plans to upgrade the screen reader again. FS has a terrible product, and the issues you have with Jaws and Java is just a drop in the bucket. Cheers! On 3/7/11, John Bannick jbann...@7128.com wrote: Alex and others, Despite Freedom Scientific's claims, JAWS appears not to fully support 64-bit Windows, either Windows 7 or Vista. Our company encountered this in 2010 specific to programs written in Java, but I suspect the problem is wider. We did extensive research on this when JAWS stopped speaking our games when running under 64-bit Windows 7. FS tech support told us in March of 2010, The issue currently is the accessibility bridge not loading as it should in the Windows 64 bit environment. John Oliviera, a colleague who runs the Mass. Council for the Blind, told me: FS is well aware of the problem but they only do what they can. They would like major companies to pay them to solve the specific problems but most have refused to pay because it can be costly. Another colleague said that he'd notified FS of this problem in June of 2009 re 64-bit Vista. The general problem seems to be JAWS not looking in the 64-bit systems directory for stuff it needs. The symptom can be either JAWS speaking just the Windows title bars and keystrokes, or being totally silent. BTW. Our tests showed that NVDA works just fine on 64-bit Windows. Again, I suspect their bug affects more than just Java. However, there's a bigger implication than just for games. Say you rely on a software tool for your job. And you rely on JAWS. Then I.T. comes in and upgrades you to 64-bit Windows 7. You can't do your job. In any event, for our own stuff we're relying on SAPI voices and just using what remains of JAWS as a nice-to-have. I personally think that FS is shooting themselves in the foot. Based on the evidence, and my 30+ years of software engineering experience, this does not look like a tough problem to fix.

Re: [Audyssey] Request for a programmer
Something like this would be relatively simple/easy to do, including using something as simple as javascript (again my one approach to platform independence), but it also really depends on whether the relative value sets change much, in other words, how many affecting factors there are apart from just entering/choosing some simple values/things, and this is partly since if I wanted to implement something like this in javascript, since it's only client side, it would mean I would basically hard code these into the source, etc. The whole idea sort of reminds me of how me and my friends handle things like combat situations, skills usage, etc. when doing some actual RPG this side.

At the moment the process goes like this: 1, your told the combat value of an attacker (or yourself), in the text. 2: you decide (or make a roll for if it's an npc), what type of attack to use, thrust, sweep, charge, or strike and look up the difficulty of making that attack on a table relative to the combat value of your opponent. 3: you decide (or roll for), what part of your opponent to attack, head, torso or limbs, and look up the difficulty of making that type of attack on a similar table. 4: you then add these two numbers together and roll 2 D6, if the number is less than the difficulty you've made a successful attack. 5: If the attack is successful you look on yet another table to gett the difficulty of defending against that type of attack. 6: you then either decide or roll for the type of defense used and compare it on another table against the type of attack. 7: you add these two numbers together and roll 2 D6, a roll of less means the defense has been successful. 8: if the attack succeeds and the defense fails, you then look up on the damage table to see what damage that type of attack at that body part does. There are also some rules for adding modifyers for the size of opponent and environment of the combat but sinse these are fairly basic editions and don't involve tables I don't think they need worrying about. My main concern is all the looking up on tables. If you could enter the combat value, type of attack, targit of the attack and type of defense, and get the attack difficulty, defense difficulty and damage, this woulod make life significantly easier, heck, you could automate the hole process and do the D6 rolls for success or failure though I imagine this would be a good deal more complex. While I think this is a good system, there are even rules for adding modifyers to the difficulty of certain attacks or opponents in different environments such as narrow passages or with particular sized opponents (though these don't involve tables just some basic pluss and minus to attack and defense difficulty), I do think this is a case where automating these tables could vastly speed up the process. The tables are fairly small, the combat value ones for attack type and defense type are eleven x 3, and all the others are 3 x 4, but stil it is a rather long winded process when going sequencially and one I think a computer could do far better than a human at many points.

Re: [Audyssey] Seamlessly upgrading DirectX
Hi Thomas, Oh Q9 is definitely simplistic, and that was one of my goals when designing it. It was not initially intended to be commercial at all, it was a commission from the institute for the blind over here. They wanted a game for children aged between 10 and 14, and Q9 was the result. But by the terms of my contract I retained all the rights to the production, so I extended the game with a bunch of extra levels and a boss etc, and sold it in English. But when I started out I did so with the intention of creating a simplistic game that someone with no gaming experience whatsoever could just pick up and play. And I reached that goal. The game is very simple, while still offering some points of interest. My upcoming game, while still a sidescroller, is leaps and bounds above Q9 in every respect. Personally I don't know very much about video games, and since I can't really play them (at least not in the same way a sighted person could), I don't have any particular interest in them. So while the gaming industry might have moved away from platformers, I still very much enjoy them and so I will create them. Smile.

The brutus recordings for tdv and the one I gave Phil for stan shunpike in Sarah were done on my rowland R09 voice recorder, which actually cost close to 200 usd when i bought it. The actual reason I have it is so that I can record people reading me articals for my Phd, and thus got it as part of my original equipment grant, so I'm quite confident in it's mikes. It is also small enough to carry into a quiet room away from my computer, though if I were doing a podcast that wouldn't obviously be possible. i know for instance Bryan has a similar machine, and other people might as well, and thus would be able to approach similar levels in terms of noise cutoff etc. Beware the grue!

[Audyssey] games we'd like to play: toilet madness
Plot and objective: The game character is a wealthy citizen residing in Maryland, USA. He loves to go out, especially to pubs. He especially loves his beer. One night things just went out of control. Some suggest a person must separate drinks with a lot of water. Well, that's exactly what this guy did. He had 3 500 ml draft beers separated with huge glasses of water. You can just guess what happens next. You're right, this guy needs the toilet urgently! So he goes to the toilet of the pub. He sits on it, ready to wee. But before he could wee, the toilet teleports him to a forest. There our game character is attacked by many little elves, they shoot paint balls at him. Each time you are hit by a paint ball, you lose 5 percent health. Your character will start breathing once your health gets low.

He loves to go out, especially to pubs. He especially loves his beer. One night things just went out of control. Some suggest a person must separate drinks with a lot of water. Well, that's exactly what this guy did. He had 3 500 ml draft beers separated with huge glasses of water. You can just guess what happens next. You're right, this guy needs the toilet urgently!

Re: [Audyssey] games we'd like to play: hospital madness
well, I myself do like action. Any games without action of any sort violent or otherwise need to have some interest. puzzles, etc. In the ones like the hospital, standard tests wouldn't scare me. Maybe something like they were going to do bad things to you. or something. I have no idea. Sure no violence in the games but these types are only of 3 types. 1 puzzle. 2 card casino or board. 3. everything else. Its a shame that paperboy was never completed but there it is I guess. on one of the bgt forums there was a game where you practiced driving a car around for no reason. totally lame and bad. A lot of blind games have stratogy, action, puzzles and other things. Unless they are short arcade games. You really can't make good games without all these elements including violence to some extent and randomness especially. I am just worried that in the quest to avoid violent games and games that are away from what people have been playing we will have loads of short games with small plots that won't have any substance to them. I guess you could base a game on one element like towers of war which is stratogy really and only that. Or laser attack but thats hard to base the game on one element. I am just a player and I like games like gtc shades of doom, etc because you don't know always waht is comming. Yes some stuf is static but you can be going along and then a monster comes you have to kill. It may be right in your way, or hard to get to or whatever. Saying that if people can make these types of games and make them interesting I have no problem playing them. Its just that any big project needs to have loads of things to have replay value.

It gave a very poor experience for those who did not actually have a 5.1 setup which I do not, and I believe most people will be using stereo either through headphones or speakers. I have not yet tested the 3d functions of XAudio2, as I primarily make sidescroller and adventure games. Like many others I get easily lost in the full 3d fps titles, not so much because I am unable to hear where things are located but more because I can never seem to figure out exactly how I'm facing and how the passages twist and turn etc, and these have only really been 2d games. Add yet another dimention and I have a feeling I'd be truly lost. Lol. I did look at OpenAl a few years ago before I decided to have Streemway developed, but got discouraged by the fact that it could not be bundled in with the game as far as I could gather at the time. The user had to run yet another instalation package which made me decide to skip it.

It is true that OpenAL doesn't come with a stereo pan control, but I've read a few articles on how to essentually create your own pan control provided you are wrapping OpenAL directly. Which I wasn't doing around beta 14/beta 15. When I was working on betas 14/15 I thought I would try my hand at using an open source piece of middleware called SFML highly recommended by a lister. As it turns out SFML is buggy on Windows XP, and the audio API for SFML doesn't expose the complete OpenAL API. That meant I had no way to extend OpenAL and add a pan control because it wasn't accessing it directly. The way to get around that problem is to write your own middleware like Streemway which wraps OpenAL and you can add a custom pan control and any custom DSP effects you want. OpenAL is a fairly decent audio library all things considered and I think in time with some development and experimentation I can produce something equal to XAudio2 and Streemway once I have a chanse to write my own middleware API. In the mean time I'm still using SFML 1.6 for the Linux versions of my games and the panning isn't too bad using the 3d audio control. It just takes a bit of math to try and make it pan cleanly. However, where it really shines is 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound. Which is mainly what I need anyway for my FPS games. HTH On 3/6/11, Philip Bennefall phi...@blastbay.com wrote: Hi Thomas, Also, with OpenAl wouldn't you be suffering from the inferior panning control? Or rather, the lack of one. Granted XAudio2 doesn't have one either, but as we've discussed it is perfectly possible to build one that works exactly as in DirectSound which is what Streemway implements. You still get all the 3d features, of course, as well as the ability to both use the provided effects and insert your own dsp code. Streemway exposes these features, and so will BGT.

Re: [Audyssey] Seamlessly upgrading DirectX
Hi Shaun, The issue with SFML crashing on exit had nothing to do with OpenAL though. That is a bug in sfml-window.dll, and for reasons no one has figured out it conflicts with some Windows XP vidio drivers. However, it works perfectly fine on the same system using Linux, and Mac OS users haven't seen this bug either. As for the 3d panning I explained that in a prior e-mail as well. Basically, I was using sfml-audio.dll which was a middleware wrapper for OpenAL. Unfortunately, sfml-audio, while decent for most uses, doesn't completely expose the OpenAL API so someone can't just add a pan control using SFML. However, if youwrite your own pan control for OpenAL directly then I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be too bad.

Re: [Audyssey] Seamlessly upgrading DirectX
Hi Thomas, I don't have much trouble navigating in a game such as Monkey Business or Shades of Doom. I just don't find them very interesting, because I spend more time trying to figure out where I am going than actually doing things. In my mind, figuring out a maze is not enjoyable. Granted my spacial skills aren't the best, but this is not the primary reason why I prefer sidescrollers. As for audio games not being as developed as mainstream ones, I think the reasons behind that are fairly obvious to both of us. Time, number of programmers, and money. If we had a team of perhaps 30 or 50 programmers working for a full 6 or 12 months on a title with a few million dollar budget, I am positive that we would certainly catch up. But until that happens, we are stuck with hobbyists, some of whom without an actual company, producing the games. I am currently running Blastbay Studios as a full time business and so am making very rapid progress on my new game, but at one point or another I am going to seek employment as a full time programmer in a regular company. When that happens, there will be very few games from Blastbay Studios. I will be on a similar schedule as yourself, where game development is only done when I have a few moments free and personal matters don't come in the way. Right now I can dedicate all my time to product development, and this is exactly my point. Until the development stops being a hobby and becomes the full time activity of a semi large company dedicated to audio games, we will be standing on pretty much the same spot. Sure there will be advances every now and then, but I'm guessing we're still roughly 20 years behind the mainstream industry. And I also fear that what I stated above will never happen, because there simply is not enough money in the community to warrent a large scale business venture. I am going to make one last attempt with this game and see if I can have it translated into either Japanese or perhaps Mandarin, as I feel that those are markets that have not yet been properly tapped into.

Re: [Audyssey] games we'd like to play: hospital madness
Hi Shaun, Um...Paperboy was never finished? I don't recall anywhere where it says that is the case. Best Regards, Hayden -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of shaun everiss Sent: Monday, March 07, 2011 3:22 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] games we'd like to play: hospital madness well, I myself do like action. Any games without action of any sort violent or otherwise need to have some interest. puzzles, etc. In the ones like the hospital, standard tests wouldn't scare me. Maybe something like they were going to do bad things to you. or something. I have no idea. Sure no violence in the games but these types are only of 3 types. 1 puzzle. 2 card casino or board. 3. everything else. Its a shame that paperboy was never completed but there it is I guess. on one of the bgt forums there was a game where you practiced driving a car around for no reason. totally lame and bad. A lot of blind games have stratogy, action, puzzles and other things. Unless they are short arcade games. You really can't make good games without all these elements including violence to some extent and randomness especially. I am just worried that in the quest to avoid violent games and games that are away from what people have been playing we will have loads of short games with small plots that won't have any substance to them. I guess you could base a game on one element like towers of war which is stratogy really and only that. Or laser attack but thats hard to base the game on one element. I am just a player and I like games like gtc shades of doom, etc because you don't know always waht is comming. Yes some stuf is static but you can be going along and then a monster comes you have to kill. It may be right in your way, or hard to get to or whatever. Saying that if people can make these types of games and make them interesting I have no problem playing them. Its just that any big project needs to have loads of things to have replay value. Last crusade was a simple rpg with random generator. I don't play it that much but still do. At 04:34 a.m. 8/03/2011, you wrote: come on.

[Audyssey] question about Aurifi
Hi I'm still having problems with the react and tilt in Aurifi, and I emailed the developer about it. They're asking me if the game is in Landscape mode, but I know sometimes when I'm doing things with the Ipod it has a nasty habbit of changing modes if it's moved around. As Aurifi requires you to move the ipod quite a bit and voice-over is off, then how do I know if the mode changes?

Re: [Audyssey] Game Demos
Hi thomas, no worries here, I wasn't about to even think of reformating, no way. grin Original message: Hi Shaun, No offense, but what is your obsession with reformat, reformat, reformat, etc. I don't want to sound harsh, but when you get on the list saying stuff like that it makes you sound like a complete computer idiot. As a matter of fact reformatting is not the only way to reset the timed trials, and if you knew half the things you claim too you would know that by now. For one thing if you know you are going to do this in advance you can create a Windows restore point which will back up the registry before it gets modified. So when the trial ends simply go into Windows restore and restore your old registry. That's the simplist fix for the problem. You can also simply export the registry before installing, and if you want to run the trial again, uninstall the demo, import your saved registry, and reinstall it. Again not a big problem if you plan ahead. If someone didn't prepare in advance it can still be fixed without resorting to a reinstall. Someone with the skills such as myself can open the registry locate the keys that caused the timed trial to expire, and blow them away. Reinstall the game and as good as new. This method isn't recommended for the average computer user but anyone with an ounce of programming knowledge who has worked with the registry before can certainly do it. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] esp pinball classic
Hi Thomas, Yeah; that was my question, why he even gave ESP to Josh. Best Regards, Hayden -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Monday, March 07, 2011 10:23 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] esp pinball classic Hi, Actually, James North had to start a new company because when he originally left in 2001 he turned all rights of ESP Softworks over to Josh who ran Adora Entertainment/Draconis Entertainment now. Which was no big deal. When he came back in 2004 he simply got a new website, and named his new venture Alchemy Game Studios. It didn't really matter in the long term if he kept the original ESP trademark or not since by then all of us thought of ESP as Adora Entertainment. That's why when I took over ESP Raceway I changed it to USA Raceway. Although, I'm sure Josh would have willingly allowed me to use the ESP trademark I felt it was better in the long run not to use a trademark of another game company when it was easily changed. I didn't need the ESP trademark to write the game. In fact, in a way my version of Raceway is quite a bit different than the ESP Raceway that was preordered by early customers of the product from James North. So that helps distinguish the difference as well. Cheers! On 3/7/11, Hayden Presley hdpres...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi, Someone explain to mewhy James needed to start Alchemy Games?

Any games without action of any sort violent or otherwise need to have some interest. puzzles, etc. In the ones like the hospital, standard tests wouldn't scare me. Maybe something like they were going to do bad things to you. or something. I have no idea. Sure no violence in the games but these types are only of 3 types. 1 puzzle. 2 card casino or board. 3. everything else. Its a shame that paperboy was never completed but there it is I guess. on one of the bgt forums there was a game where you practiced driving a car around for no reason. totally lame and bad. A lot of blind games have stratogy, action, puzzles and other things. Unless they are short arcade games. You really can't make good games without all these elements including violence to some extent and randomness especially. I am just worried that in the quest to avoid violent games and games that are away from what people have been playing we will have loads of short games with small plots that won't have any substance to them. I guess you could base a game on one element like towers of war which is stratogy really and only that. Or laser attack but thats hard to base the game on one element. I am just a player and I like games like gtc shades of doom, etc because you don't know always waht is comming. Yes some stuf is static but you can be going along and then a monster comes you have to kill. It may be right in your way, or hard to get to or whatever. Saying that if people can make these types of games and make them interesting I have no problem playing them. Its just that any big project needs to have loads of things to have replay value.

At the moment the process goes like this: 1, your told the combat value of an attacker (or yourself), in the text. 2: you decide (or make a roll for if it's an npc), what type of attack to use, thrust, sweep, charge, or strike and look up the difficulty of making that attack on a table relative to the combat value of your opponent. 3: you decide (or roll for), what part of your opponent to attack, head, torso or limbs, and look up the difficulty of making that type of attack on a similar table. 4: you then add these two numbers together and roll 2 D6, if the number is less than the difficulty you've made a successful attack. 5: If the attack is successful you look on yet another table to gett the difficulty of defending against that type of attack. 6: you then either decide or roll for the type of defense used and compare it on another table against the type of attack. 7: you add these two numbers together and roll 2 D6, a roll of less means the defense has been successful. 8: if the attack succeeds and the defense fails, you then look up on the damage table to see what damage that type of attack at that body part does. There are also some rules for adding modifyers for the size of opponent and environment of the combat but sinse these are fairly basic editions and don't involve tables I don't think they need worrying about. My main concern is all the looking up on tables. If you could enter the combat value, type of attack, targit of the attack and type of defense, and get the attack difficulty, defense difficulty and damage, this woulod make life significantly easier, heck, you could automate the hole process and do the D6 rolls for success or failure though I imagine this would be a good deal more complex. While I think this is a good system, there are even rules for adding modifyers to the difficulty of certain attacks or opponents in different environments such as narrow passages or with particular sized opponents (though these don't involve tables just some basic pluss and minus to attack and defense difficulty), I do think this is a case where automating these tables could vastly speed up the process. The tables are fairly small, the combat value ones for attack type and defense type are eleven x 3, and all the others are 3 x 4, but stil it is a rather long winded process when going sequencially and one I think a computer could do far better than a human at many points.

There are also some rules for adding modifyers for the size of opponent and environment of the combat but sinse these are fairly basic editions and don't involve tables I don't think they need worrying about. My main concern is all the looking up on tables. If you could enter the combat value, type of attack, targit of the attack and type of defense, and get the attack difficulty, defense difficulty and damage, this woulod make life significantly easier, heck, you could automate the hole process and do the D6 rolls for success or failure though I imagine this would be a good deal more complex. While I think this is a good system, there are even rules for adding modifyers to the difficulty of certain attacks or opponents in different environments such as narrow passages or with particular sized opponents (though these don't involve tables just some basic pluss and minus to attack and defense difficulty), I do think this is a case where automating these tables could vastly speed up the process. The tables are fairly small, the combat value ones for attack type and defense type are eleven x 3, and all the others are 3 x 4, but stil it is a rather long winded process when going sequencially and one I think a computer could do far better than a human at many points.

Actually Muhammed I'm afraid I totally disagree.

That sounds like some serious delirium tremens. The problem is though, that just as he's teleported to that final level, the all-bran crackers he ate the previous day have kicked in, and his belly is racked with terrible cramps, which impede his movement. If he moves too fast, ... well the odor is quite horrific and he loses health points. If he moves too slow, the pressure builds and builds, eventually leading to an all-out cataclysmic explosion.

He loves to go out, especially to pubs. He especially loves his beer. One night things just went out of control. Some suggest a person must separate drinks with a lot of water. Well, that's exactly what this guy did. He had 3 500 ml draft beers separated with huge glasses of water. You can just guess what happens next. You're right, this guy needs the toilet urgently! So he goes to the toilet of the pub. He sits on it, ready to wee. But before he could wee, the toilet teleports him to a forest. There our game character is attacked by many little elves, they shoot paint balls at him. Each time you are hit by a paint ball, you lose 5 percent health. Your character will start breathing once your health gets low. Locate honey combs in the forest and eat the honey to raise your health. Your objective here is to run to where an elve is before he can shoot a paint ball at you by using 3d game movement similar to shades of doom. Once you are 1 feet away from him, your character will wee on his feet, causing ugly warts there. The elve sees the warts and scream and run away, warning his mates to run away. Your character sees a longdrop in the distance. Long drops are used in olden days before people invented toilets. Your character notices that this particular long drop has a metal border around it .Your character just thinks that this border is just there to make it fancy .So your character sitss on the longdrop, ready to wee and there he gets teleported again, this time you find yourself in a long underground passage in the process of caving in. Run with 3d game movement under the falling debree through this passage, occasionally ducking with control down arrow to miss big stones falling. At the end of the passage is a door leading to a toilet. You enter the door and sit on the toilet and finish weeing. Just after you finished weeing, just before you intend to look around to see where the lever is to flush the toilet, the toilet teleports you to a lawn patch. Your character will say: ah, what a relief! My bladder is at last empty! This is the final level. Here you must see how many monkeys you can catch with your net and how many coins you can locate and pick up in the set time for bonus points by using 3d game movement and spacebar to catch a monkey. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] A Suggestion for SCW
Hi Dark, Yeah, I agree with that. It is better to let a series come to some kind of final conclusion rather than let it go on and on forever. I've seen series that drag on and on for years and it seams at some point all it does is ends up getting worse and worse the longer it drags on. Authors run out of new ideas, new ways to market it, and eventually nobody wants to read, watch, or listen to it any more. The longer it drags out the more ways the author has of screwing up the story. For example, let's take Xena Warrior Princess. It was a television series I was fond of. I watched it clear up until season 4, and then it took a nose dive. Around season 5 it really began to get worse and the storylines for the epasodes weren't that good compared to the first couple of seasons. Even worse when they finally did reach the last epasode in season 6 they ended it with Xena being beheaded and Gabrialle walking away crying. They killed it because I think they had too long with the series, and by season 5 and season 6 they were frankly out of ideas how to progress the series any further. Star Trek Next Generation is another case in point. In general the entire seven seasons were all fairly good. It remains my favorite television series of all time. The only thing is when they decided to go to the big screen they ruined the series in a big way. In Star Trek Generations they destroyed the Enterprise, and had to replace it with a newer looking Enterprise in First Contact. Data finally got his emotion chip which forever changed his character that could be good or bad depending on your point of view. What really took the cake is Star Trek Nemesis. Yeah, they finally brought the Riker and Troi relationship to a close by marrying them at the beginning of the movie, which was good, but they killed off Data, destroyed the new Enterprise, and Riker finally got his own ship at the end of the movie. I'm sorry, but I think they had too much time to screw up the Next Gen series. They'd have been better off to end it at All Good Things, and then leave it at that. Anyway, like I was saying regardless if it is Xena, Star Trek, Star Wars, or Harry Potter the longer the author has to drag a series out the longer he or she has of ruining it. I'm personally glad J. K. Rowling ended it at Deathly Hallows, because it was one of those series that had a potential for going on forever, but it would have eventually lost its charm if it was out there for too long. In a way, I think J. K. Rowling did ruin the series at the end because many of the main characters were killed off by the end of the series. Not exactly the happy ending we were expecting. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] A Suggestion for SCW
Hi tom. In terms of startrek I agree, but I'm afraid I totally disagree about harry potter and character deaths. I find I am far more engaged with books, films or tv series where the characters are not safe. Where any event can be life threatening, and kill, or profoundly change a character. During my first go through of deathly hallows, and even before that in books 5 and 6, I actually found myself really and seriously bothered everytime a life threatening or dangerous situation turned up sinse there was no guarantee the characters would get out of it alive. For me there is nothing less interesting than a really predictable plot where you know, oh look, the hero runs into the burning building and just gets off scot free by some freak survival. Jk Rowling took this even further, by having an absolutely realistic level of danger where even a miner confrontation or change could be crytical. There aren't many authors or series I know that managed to get this level of absolute realism into their work or make you care so much about characters when they go through profound changes. Tad williams, jk rowling, and Ian M banks are the authors that most come to mind for this, as do the series babylon 5 and more recently being human. This is however very ot so I'll stop.

Re: [Audyssey] Seamlessly upgrading DirectX
Hi Philip, Philip wrote: I don't have much trouble navigating in a game such as Monkey Business or Shades of Doom. I just don't find them very interesting, because I spend more time trying to figure out where I am going than actually doing things. In my mind, figuring out a maze is not enjoyable. My reply: Yeah, I understand. This is purely a matter of personal preference. I happen to like maze games so obviously that genre of game is apealing to me where you aren't into mazes so it is less enjoyable for you. Philip wrote: As for audio games not being as developed as mainstream ones, I think the reasons behind that are fairly obvious to both of us. Time, number of programmers, and money. My reply: Yeah, I know. Writing accessible games is a thankless job with too much work, too little time, and not enough money to do it proper. I know just creating Mysteries of the Ancients I'm working myself to the bone trying to create the kind of side-scroller I want to play and it is not easy. There is just too much work to do with too little time to do it in. Add to that I'm working on a very slim budget so certain sounds, voice acting, whatever has to slide until I have the money to add them. That said, there are small things we can do to make our games more like the mainstream counterparts that would greatly improve the game play in my personal opinion. For example, in a lot of classic Nintendo adventure games there might be a treasure chest on the floor. It is locked, and you can't open it without unlocking it. Well, as you look around the room there might be a button, switch, or pressure plate on the floor that unlocks the chest. If you jump and land on the button/pressure plate the chest pops open revealing a bunch of jewls. You know, something like that doesn't take a lot to program, but I haven't found really any accessible games begin to explore these types of game play elements. Which probably brings me to one more reason why accessible games aren't as advanced as mainstream games. Most of the VI game developers have been blind from birth and have no experience playing mainstream games. They are creating games from a limited background with games in general. It may not have occurred to them to add in little puzzles like jump on this or that switch to open the tresure chest or pull this lever to unlock a door in the next room etc. Yet these kinds of puzzle elements have been around for years in mainstream games. I believe this is because most blind game developers hasn't had any prior experience with mainstream games before they started writing this or that game. Philip wrote: If we had a team of perhaps 30 or 50 programmers working for a full 6 or 12 months on a title with a few million dollar budget, I am positive that we would certainly catch up. My reply: No doubt. If I had that kind of time and money I could hire the best sound engineers, programmers, musicians, and produce something on par witht he mainstream market. However, like you say that isn't going to happen so we have to make do with what we got. Philip wrote: Until the development stops being a hobby and becomes the full time activity of a semi large company dedicated to audio games, we will be standing on pretty much the same spot. Sure there will be advances every now and then, but I'm guessing we're still roughly 20 years behind the mainstream industry. My reply: Probably. Its hard to gage where we are in terms of the mainstream developers, because not every accessible game developer is aiming for high tech or advanced gaming. I know with Mysteries of the Ancients I'm aming for a game more or less on par with the Tomb Raider side-scrollers produced in the late 90's for the Nintendo Gameboy. In fact I've been using Tomb Raider Nightmare Stone and Tomb Raider Prophecy for ideas here and there as both are side-scrollers and much of what is in them can be made accessible. So perhaps 15 years behind the mainstream for a game like MOTA. Shades of Doom is quite a lot like Dom I and Doom II. The original doom game came out in 1993 and Doom II came out in 1995. If we use that as the beginnings of first-person action games for the mainstream market Shades of Doom puts us at roughly 15 to 18 years behind the mainstream market in terms of first-person based games alone. So saying we are about 15 to 20 years behind is probably about right.

Re: [Audyssey] A Suggestion for SCW
Hi Dark, True. That's one of the reasons why Harry Potter etc became very popular. The endings of her books were pretty shocking. We have Sedric Diggary dying in Goblet of Fire, Serious Black dying in Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore dying in Half-Blood Prince, and lots of deaths in Deathly Hallows. I agree with you that J. K. Rowling is a good author for not following the predictable path of all the heroes getting out alive. I also admire her for not following the lead hero marries lead heroine path. I don't know if you remember this but around the time Goblet of Fire came out there was a huge internet debate on who Harry Potter would fall in love with. There was a very very large group of people who predicted Harry would fall in love with Hermione, and so there was a huge slue of fan fic with Harry and Hermione romantic based storylines. I suppose given Harry was the main character and Hermione was the lead female character that conclusion wasn't out of the question, but I always thought Harry and Ginie would make a better couple. As it turned out that's exactly how J. K. Rowling played it. Ron and Hermione got together and Harry and Ginie got together at the end of Deathly Hallows. I felt she ended it right, and didn't do the predictable thing of Harry and Hermione which was the popular view for a long time. Cheers! On 3/9/11, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi tom.
