Hi Jeremy, Now we know how you are getting so much coding done, you have a time turner. grin Yeah I am not sure if the Roller Coaster Tycoon games were as popular as Sim City, but a friend of mine has all 4 versions of Roller Coaster Tycoon and managing an amusement park sounds like so much fun. Like how many rides, trash cans, food places, bathrooms and the prices of everything. Plus designing the rides and managing the land. Too many people getting sick or not using the bathrooms or trash cans, bad prices, long lines with no turnstiles etc and people do not come to the park. And of course killer rides don't help business. grin BFN Jim If the shortest distance between two points is a line, why does waiting in one take so long? j...@kitchensinc.net http://www.kitchensinc.net (440) 286-6920 Chardon Ohio USA --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] A Sighted view on Bridging the Gap.
Hatred, I know exactly what you mean. I hang around gaming forums, and I also play mainstream games. once I was playing Super Street Fighter online and I was beating my opponent. they got mad because according to them I was being cheap. so they start talking some trash. I challenge them again, and this time I don't throw a single fireball and still beat them. but the guy starts blaming me of hitting him in the corner, and doing too many combos. do we ever win with some gamers? haha. that's not even the worst either. some people actually use something called a lag switch to ruin gaming. bet anyone on here with mainstream gaming experience has experienced it at some point. your character basically stands there, lagging horribly, but the opponent doesn't, guaranteeing a loss. I didn't even know lag switches were actually a real device until I started researching them. I always thought oh this is just normal lag, trying to think the best of people. but now I know some gamers will stoop to any level to ruin everyone else's experience. Granted there are lots of really awesome gamers out there. I've even played people who actually give advice, and strategies. but the sighted gaming community is so large that finding the bad apples is a lot easier than when you're dealing with our community. with mainstream games, every time you play with large groups or teams, you're almost guaranteed to get trolled by some sad individual that just can't take a loss. - Original Message - From: Steven Strait crimsonr...@gmail.com To: gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2011 6:08 PM Subject: [Audyssey] A Sighted view on Bridging the Gap. Hey there everyone, I'm Hatred, a friend of Aprone. I've been reading through the posts about his latest game, Castaways, and I've noticed a small topic about Bridging the Gap between Sighted and Blind gamers. Figured I'd toss in my thoughts on the topic since I have a different perspective than most of you do. First up, I think that having Blind and Sighted gamers playing together, either competitively or cooperatively, would be amazing and I fully support the idea. However, as a Sighted gamer, I've seen a lot of the bad things that can come from it so I have to warn you that if it's done incorrectly, you could end up having a lot more problems than you'd want. From what I've seen while browsing through the emails here and the forums at Audiogames.net, the Blind gaming community is full of awesome people that truly want to play new and inventive games. You guys seem eager to explore together, to build together, and to wage war together. That's awesome, and as a gamer I love that. Heck, that's one of the reasons I've been pushing Aprone to do more multiplayer games! I want to play with you guys too! Unfortunately, there are many Sighted gamers that don't feel the same. The majority of Sighted gamers are, in essence, similar to Blind gamers. They want to relax and enjoy the games they love with cool people. However, there are many that feel that they have the right to ruin the fun for everyone. Hackers, Spammers, Trolls, and just regular old Idiots run rampant on many multiplayer games, set on causing havoc for the sake of their own twisted fun. Aprone and I actually first met in a small game called Babo Violent 2, a multiplayer shooter game. We played together, and eventually became good friends. The game was fast, fun, and easy to pick up and play. However, it had little to no hack protection. I'll admit, I was one of the Hackers that found a lot of the security holes and had some fun seeing what I could do with the game. However, I wasn't malicious about it. I simply did it on my own, away from other players so as not to ruin their fun. Unfortunately, a large number of players thought differently. They ran rampant, making themselves invincible, cheating in the game, harassing other players, and even crashing the servers if they were bored. At one time players couldn't even get into a game because the servers were down constantly. It's sad but true, some people truly enjoy causing other people grief. Now, I'm not saying that you all should avoid having sighted players play with you. By all means, I think that goal is great and you should pursue it full force. However, be aware that with it comes some pretty hefty problems. It will require developers to rethink how they code their games. They'll have to take into consideration some form of anti-cheat programming, or even have a way for admins to remove cheaters from the game. It's definitely doable but will require a lot more work to make it happen. Anyways, my long rant is over. Lol!

Re: [Audyssey] A Sighted view on Bridging the Gap.
Well I started writing a response here last night, but my internet page lost the 8 long paragraphs I had written, so I, frustrated, just went to bed haha. Dennis, I think Hatred's post is referring less to bringing in individual sighted gamers, and is more about actually exposing this community to the sighted world. There is a difference. It also seems like this community has seen some trouble makers, but it still doesn't seem like it has ever encountered the kinds of people Hatred, and I, are worried about. Someone who spams messages in the forum, someone who cheats to make themselves invincible in audio quake, or someone who intentionally causes arguments with everyone, is a pest, but not any serious threat. For the most part, they are an annoyance, and they can be gotten rid of fairly easily. The people we need to worry about, are the ones who are skilled, and will actively try new things until they accomplish their goal of breaking everything. It is a little like comparing a neighborhood thug, to a terrorist who blows buildings up. To cite examples that I've seen myself, see how the mind set of these people differs from what you're used to. We are used to seeing occasional spam bots, that posts 1 to 5 messages, and then move on. They are here to try to promote some website or product, and they can be removed with a few steps to add them to a ban list. I've been on forums that were targeted by the wrong sort of people. They wrote software to post automatically on the board, bypassing capchas and other security, that posted literally thousands of gibberish posts every few minutes! You've never come to the board seeing 40,000 new posts, but that's real, not just some hypothetical situation. Finally an admin finds a way to remove all posts by that user, so a few days later it happens again, but this time it is spread out over a thousand randomly generated accounts. When admins find a way to remove those, it happens again but using different ip addresses. I've seen at least 1 message board where the people hacked into the administrator controls so they could simply remove the whole board. This is a far far cry from spam bots, or the occasional community member who has stirred up trouble in the past. When it comes to gaming, we've all dealt with the player who spammed messages or cheated so he had an advantage during the game. Sure that is annoying, but that's not the kind of thing Hatred and I are talking about. More times than I can remember, I've been in games where suddenly the server crashes and everyone has to wait for an administrator to restart it. Of course, the same person would crash it as soon as he realized it was going again. So, the combat this, the developers worked on ways to patch the ways they using to bring the servers down. None lasted for more than a week before servers were crashing again. To help things, they remade the servers so that they automatically restarted whenever they crashed, so that people didn't have to wait around for hours, before an admin noticed they were down. Of course, this took much of the fun out of crashing the servers, so they came up with a new attack. Instead of crashing, everything crawled and lagged to a halt. The server freezes and no one can play, and because it is frozen and not crashed, it never restarts. I have been in gaming communities where people's computers were hacked, and damaged. I've been in some where email accounts were listed along with player's profiles, so to scare away the game's players, the hackers broke in to their email addresses and changed the passwords. Of course not everyone's email, but even having it happen to a few people, who probably didn't have strong passwords, was enough to scare away many players. It is all a mix of programming attacks, and social intimidation. And for some reason, this is how these people get their thrills. They don't stop until the players have left, and the game is considered dead. These are the people Hatred is referring to. It is true that the majority of mainstream gamers will be fun loving people, who would be great to play games with, but the more people we gain, the bigger the target we become for someone who wants to cause havoc. And if anyone things it is only the larger games that get attacked, that isn't true, because I have personally had one of my own indie games targeted years ago. We probably both sound extremely negative, but we just want to bring attention to the threats that Are! out there. Since it is what the community wants, I will do what I can to push for attracting sighted players to our games, I just wanted to make sure everyone knew the long term risks. It isn't fair for people to find out about these kinds of people, when they're faced with servers that don't work, email account that they can't get in to, and a message board with 40,000 spam topics. Haha! --- Gamers mailing

Re: [Audyssey] A Sighted view on Bridging the Gap.
Totally agree with you. Even simple games should have some type of multiplayer feature. in fact. Uno on the PS3 has multiplayer. when a game doesn't have this people get furious and many refuse to buy it. so multiplayer nowadays is a rule, and games that don't have it are the exception. devs that don't include such features usually end up paying for it in the pocketbook, where it hurts. in fact, multiplayer is a business within itself. nowadays there's this new trend which is annoying lots of people. most companies are implementing what they call online passes. if you buy games used, you must pay a one-time fee, usually around $10, to access multiplayer content. if you buy new, a code to redeem such features is included free of charge. for blind mainstream gamers, such practices are quite annoying, but I can see why companies implement these measures. running these servers, which often contain thousands of people playing on them simultaneously can't be cheap. I always buy new, mainly cause I can't trust that someone didn't stomp all over the used disc I'm buying, so this doesn't phase me at all. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

But, I just crashed the game when I accidentally entered letters into the time travel box instead of numbers. I hope it is still being worked on, or will be in the future. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] A Sighted view on Bridging the Gap.
You make a great point. The biggest company can fall to such an attack. Take Sony for instance. it was hacked about a month ago, and it's still recovering. as of this writing, the log-in pages are still under maintanence. This wasn't a simple attack either. All users with PSN accounts were victimized. our info was stolen, and not even Sony knows how bad it really was. to make things even worse, many users use the same passwords on many different services. so their entire identity could've been compromized. We're talking here of a playerbase of millions. Imagine millions of creditcards in the hands of a hacker or group of hackers? Every single PSN user with a credit card was offered a free year of All Clear ID Plus free of charge. Sony's reputation is now being questioned by many, including congress. But what people don't realize is that any company can fall to such an attack. Happened to Nintendo a few weeks ago, although not much damage was done. And if these cyber terrorissts want to go after Microsoft as well, not many can stop them. I know I probably come across as paranoid, but be careful with your info guys. Even banks, and the FBI have been hacked in the past. Nothing's safe when it comes to online threats. best we can do is to be on top of things, and use different passwords for all our accounts. Just last night for example, netflix went down. everyone kept getting a cannot display webpage error. we still don't know what's going on. Since netflix essentially increased prices about a week ago, everyone thinks it was a rebellious attack by anonymous or some other vigelanty group. All I know is they'd better compensate paying customers or they'll risk losing many of us. Blockbuster's already made their move to sway us lol. I got a 1 month free trial, 2 discs at a time activated this morning haha.

Re: [Audyssey] A Sighted view on Bridging the Gap.
Hi hatred and all, Many years ago back in 99, I started playing x beyond the frontier. In my opinion 1 of the best space games ever invented. It goes along side elite for sure. But back then it didn't hold much interest with the wider community. The advantage of that is that the forums were great fun! The game is single player, but on the forums we had roleplaying guilds, pretend guild wars, we even had a convention to celebrate just how great the game was and the community as a whole. Well as the series progressed, first x-tention, then x2 the threat, the community really started to get far far bigger and that's when the problems really started. The fun of being on the boards became not so fun and quite quickly. Not so much because of hackers and the like, but because there were plenty of trolls on there. moderators who would previously join in with the mucking around became more like police. The nice little family we had was destroyed basically because the community as a whole just wasn't ready. It went from being 1 thing to the exact opposite. I don't go on those forums anymore even though the x series of games has continued on. A lot of very well respected forum members who contributed in loads of ways whether it was creative writing or various forms of animation, most notably stories like the rogue's testament trilogy an the traders tale series of stories. Even if you have never played the games before you could well enjoy these stories. I guess what I'm really trying to say is that when it comes to this community, there is a very different mind-set overall between here and lets say the wider gaming world. I want to see the 2 types of games merge that's for sure, but I will echo hatred's word of caution here. for example, the vast majority of gaming forums aren't mailing lists. They are web based forums. You could never have a board with several thousand members or several tens of thousands of members on an email list it would create to much traffic. The blind community would be forced to adapt, which I think it should personally. But that is the least of anybody's concern being very honest. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Well I'm happy to announce that I have Finally found, and squashed, that stupid resource bug! The thing has been a thorn in my side for 2 or 3 versions, I think, and I'm glad it's finally fixed. There was a single spot in the code, that was missing an If condition, so when things lined up just right, it messed things up. I am scanning through the rest of my code, looking to see if I cut and pasted that same bad section anywhere else. I think this will actually resolve several small bugs that have been reported.

[Audyssey] Castaways version 1.2b
Version 1.2b has just been posted. I saw several people on multiplayer when the server was switched over, so I'd imagine they'll all be here soon to grab the new version. Among many little fixes, I have finally squashed that annoying resource bug! I've re worked huge sections of the AI, to make things more stable, and I believe it will fix many little issues people have reported. For normal and hard difficulties, I have added in random disasters. Eventually I'll add some benefits, but I'm starting with what I've got coded. For any sighted players, a whole new GUI is in the works, along with artwork for what is going on. The graphics are not finished, but this update contains a pretty big step in that direction. The multiplayer server is a bit more stable now, as well as the client side of the multiplayer code. Setting farms to closed, will keep farmers from harvesting from them. I think you'll also find, that the AI is a little better at evening out the work load. Instead of focusing all of their efforts toward a certain type of crop, farmers will spread out appropriately. I'm sure I've made other changes, but I can't remember. Have fun playing! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

In the main menu, you will find the new feature. If you are experiencing any lag, after getting this new version, try turning the graphics off to see if that helps. After uploading the new feature, I did not change the version number, since it was literally only minutes after posting it before. If you have version 2.1b, but do not have the option to disable the graphics, just download it again.

Hey there everyone, I'm Hatred, a friend of Aprone. I've been reading through the posts about his latest game, Castaways, and I've noticed a small topic about Bridging the Gap between Sighted and Blind gamers. Figured I'd toss in my thoughts on the topic since I have a different perspective than most of you do. First up, I think that having Blind and Sighted gamers playing together, either competitively or cooperatively, would be amazing and I fully support the idea. However, as a Sighted gamer, I've seen a lot of the bad things that can come from it so I have to warn you that if it's done incorrectly, you could end up having a lot more problems than you'd want. From what I've seen while browsing through the emails here and the forums at Audiogames.net, the Blind gaming community is full of awesome people that truly want to play new and inventive games. You guys seem eager to explore together, to build together, and to wage war together. That's awesome, and as a gamer I love that. Heck, that's one of the reasons I've been pushing Aprone to do more multiplayer games! I want to play with you guys too! Unfortunately, there are many Sighted gamers that don't feel the same. The majority of Sighted gamers are, in essence, similar to Blind gamers. They want to relax and enjoy the games they love with cool people. However, there are many that feel that they have the right to ruin the fun for everyone. Hackers, Spammers, Trolls, and just regular old Idiots run rampant on many multiplayer games, set on causing havoc for the sake of their own twisted fun. Aprone and I actually first met in a small game called Babo Violent 2, a multiplayer shooter game. We played together, and eventually became good friends. The game was fast, fun, and easy to pick up and play. However, it had little to no hack protection. I'll admit, I was one of the Hackers that found a lot of the security holes and had some fun seeing what I could do with the game. However, I wasn't malicious about it. I simply did it on my own, away from other players so as not to ruin their fun. Unfortunately, a large number of players thought differently. They ran rampant, making themselves invincible, cheating in the game, harassing other players, and even crashing the servers if they were bored. At one time players couldn't even get into a game because the servers were down constantly. It's sad but true, some people truly enjoy causing other people grief. Now, I'm not saying that you all should avoid having sighted players play with you. By all means, I think that goal is great and you should pursue it full force. However, be aware that with it comes some pretty hefty problems. It will require developers to rethink how they code their games. They'll have to take into consideration some form of anti-cheat programming, or even have a way for admins to remove cheaters from the game. It's definitely doable but will require a lot more work to make it happen. Anyways, my long rant is over. Lol! Keep gaming my friends! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to

Re: [Audyssey] controling peasants
There are 2 reasons I can think of, that would explain that. For one, you might not have a butcher. Without a butcher, hunters gut the animals themselves and they don't save the furs. You get less meat from the animals also. If you have a butcher in your settlement, the hunters don't waste time gutting the animals themselves, instead they just drop the animal carcasses off at the storehouse. When brought to the butcher shop, butchers remove the animal fur, and they gut the animal for meat. You get twice as much meat, because butchers are more efficient. The furs are then stored for later use. The other possibility is that someone is currently carrying the carcass to the butcher shop. Items in transit (being carried by a peasant) do not show up in your inventory. If this is what is going on, the dead animal will show up at your butcher shop as soon as the peasant walks there. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Suggestion for Castaways
It's true that co-op mode confers an advantage, and a balancing factor might need to happen. Perhaps cut the starting characters by 1 or 2?

[Audyssey] Castaways, co-op requests.
I'd like to have a separate list of co-op characters, rather than having to weed them out from the full list. More importantly, and what makes this more necessary, I would like job changes made by other players to be reflected in my world. Obviously, knights are knights, but to only have builders seems less interesting than if a co-op character becomes a cook or doctor or something else. It would make the play less predictable and possibly somewhat mitigate the advantage, although it would make the game susceptible to group play, as in, Can someone be a doctor for a bit, I'm too busy to detach one and I'm in need. Depending on how you see things, this is either an advantage or not.

[Audyssey] Castaways, perk/flaw balancing suggestion.
I'm experimenting with some new perk-flaw combinations, and I got to say, cozy real estate is a major disadvantage, much more so than say dog food. I have a suggestion for balancing perks/flaws and co-op play. Assign each perk and flaw a point value based on the strength of its effect. Allow the player to choose as many perks/flaws as they like, but the point balance at the end affects the balance of good events vs bad events. So, a player who stocks up on perks has a lot more disasters to account for. Co-op play could be assigned a positive point value. Like a perk to act as the balancing step. Note that you can still have easy, normal and hard levels of play by tweaking the beginning balance of bad events. I don't have numbers to suggest for how this might work yet, but if you like the idea, I will work on that.

Re: [Audyssey] A Sighted view on Bridging the Gap.
Thank you! saygilar sevgiler. - Original Message - From: Steven Strait crimsonr...@gmail.com To: gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 1:08 AM Subject: [Audyssey] A Sighted view on Bridging the Gap. Hey there everyone, I'm Hatred, a friend of Aprone. I've been reading through the posts about his latest game, Castaways, and I've noticed a small topic about Bridging the Gap between Sighted and Blind gamers. Figured I'd toss in my thoughts on the topic since I have a different perspective than most of you do. First up, I think that having Blind and Sighted gamers playing together, either competitively or cooperatively, would be amazing and I fully support the idea. However, as a Sighted gamer, I've seen a lot of the bad things that can come from it so I have to warn you that if it's done incorrectly, you could end up having a lot more problems than you'd want. From what I've seen while browsing through the emails here and the forums at Audiogames.net, the Blind gaming community is full of awesome people that truly want to play new and inventive games. You guys seem eager to explore together, to build together, and to wage war together. That's awesome, and as a gamer I love that. Heck, that's one of the reasons I've been pushing Aprone to do more multiplayer games! I want to play with you guys too! Unfortunately, there are many Sighted gamers that don't feel the same. The majority of Sighted gamers are, in essence, similar to Blind gamers. They want to relax and enjoy the games they love with cool people. However, there are many that feel that they have the right to ruin the fun for everyone. Hackers, Spammers, Trolls, and just regular old Idiots run rampant on many multiplayer games, set on causing havoc for the sake of their own twisted fun. Aprone and I actually first met in a small game called Babo Violent 2, a multiplayer shooter game. We played together, and eventually became good friends. The game was fast, fun, and easy to pick up and play. However, it had little to no hack protection. I'll admit, I was one of the Hackers that found a lot of the security holes and had some fun seeing what I could do with the game. However, I wasn't malicious about it. I simply did it on my own, away from other players so as not to ruin their fun. Unfortunately, a large number of players thought differently. They ran rampant, making themselves invincible, cheating in the game, harassing other players, and even crashing the servers if they were bored. At one time players couldn't even get into a game because the servers were down constantly. It's sad but true, some people truly enjoy causing other people grief. Now, I'm not saying that you all should avoid having sighted players play with you. By all means, I think that goal is great and you should pursue it full force. However, be aware that with it comes some pretty hefty problems. It will require developers to rethink how they code their games. They'll have to take into consideration some form of anti-cheat programming, or even have a way for admins to remove cheaters from the game. It's definitely doable but will require a lot more work to make it happen. Anyways, my long rant is over. Lol!
