Re: [Audyssey] Chillingham sequel.
Hi Tom. This is in effect what I've done, if you check the pages for Gg and chillingham on audiogames.net you'll notice that their status has been changed to unknown and there are warnings that people do not attempt to order their games. I sent a mail to bavisoft threatening I'd do this unless they sorted their act out, but as usual got absolutely no reasponse, indeed the last time we heard from them was in august 2009 when yes, they just said don't destribute our games and nothing else.

Shaun, Actually, we've already reached the point where the games won't run. I've tried them on a Windows 7 64-bit machine and when I try to start the Bavisoft games I get a runtime error and they crash. I don't know about others experiences, but the fact of the matter is they've reached the point where they are out of date with little to know hope of them being upgraded by the developer. As for how to handle Bavisoft they haven't done anything that would get them banned from the audio games forum or Audyssey list, but we can warn new gamers not to buy their products based on customer experience. If Bavisoft doesn't like the negative feedback they can either correct their behavior or close their doors. We don't have to advertise their products and recommend them when they clearly have no desire to support their products.

They have not updated their website since 2004, so unless they renew their copywrites each year they may as well be dead. Not like we havn't tried to go legal, I have seen blatent threads with communication messages asking for a responce on status. Their site went down got infected with malware, but then was put back up in its origional form. Its like they are dead but still want to exist like some sort of ghost. At any rate I don't know why people would bother actually getting the games legally or otherwise. I didn't buy them, but then I played them once or twice on a friend's pc and to be honest technology has moved on. Eventually they probably won't run. I do also wish that they would respond. If they quit, fine, we can download their games, we are already doing it and they don't seem to care as a company if you can honestly call them that. Or they come back. I have no real idea what we can do, but if they do come back unless they give proper explanations, I wander if we can just bann them or something, I mean its like they think they can just lose orders and things and not respond. We have patiently waited for ages, we have asked them nicely several times, its not like we havn't tried. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Multiple playable characters
Hi tom. That is true to a point, but I certainly have seen several examples of games where there is a single main character, but multiple other options. Even if you discount marrio brothers 2, (afterall technically both the brothers are the main characters of the series), what about the Mega man x series? X is the main character and much of the plot is about him, however as Zero got more popular people begged for the chance to play as him, which they got to do in a limited sort of special assist way in Mega man x 3, and in a complete sense in each game after that, indeed in Mega man x 7 Capcom introduced Axl as a third playable character (the fact I think axl is completely dull and uninteresting doesn't change the fact he's there). Then look at the Donkey Kong country series. In each game you play two characters together, however tey are not always the same two even though the big ape has his name on the title. In Dkc1 you play Donkey and his little buddy diddy. In two however, Donkey is captured and you have Diddy and his Girlfriend dixy. Then in the third game both! Donkey and diddy are captured and it's Dixy with Kiddy kong, a large baby ape she is baby sitting at the time. This isn't to say you should! put other characters into Tomb hunter, only that just because you have one main character and a story revolving around them, multiple characters are not impossible depending upon how you want the plot and gameplay to go. Samas Aran in the Metroid games is an absolute Loner, indeed in Metroid fusion she only took a computer as commanding officer on her mission under protest. It's very difficult to imagine Samus teaming up with anyone at all, one reason why the game Metroid Prime Hunter has been rather disliked by several people, simply because it broke a games character for seemingly no good reason other than nintendo wanted to turn metroid prime into a more standard multiplayer fps. I sort of imagine Angela the same way as Samas, so it deffinately wouldn't be unreasonable to say that multiple characters are out, just pointing out though that even in a one character series, you can always slot in extras. indeed, I think a game like SSuperliam, Q9 or shades of doom could support multiple characters very well, sinse there the main characters aren't explicitely said to be loner types.

[Audyssey] Wild west games was, Bavisoft
Well it's an interesting genre and setting for games, and could fit either an action or stratogy game fairly well. One game I remember on the old Amstrad computer which would make a very nice audio convertion was a game called Kane. You were a desperado riding into the town of cane attempting to rob a bank. The first stage was you out in the desert, trying to get some provisions for lunch by targiting and shooting chickens with a bow and arrow duck hunt style, accept that as well as your moving horrizontal and vertical targit you also ran around the bottom of the screen so the arrow fired upwards, making the mechanics quite different. Then, you rode your horse to cane and had to jump fences and cacti, arcade style. Then, you got the shoot out, which was similar to bow and arrow accept that the marshal's men defending the bank fired back if you were too slow. Finally, you were trying to catch up to the train out of town, which was another horse riding stage, accept that as well as jumping over stuff you had to keep up with the on going train. I think Jim or someone could create an awsome homer like game along those lines fairly easily, and it's a fun setting to play around in. Beware the gRue!

A couple of things I hope you will consider adding to your already very long list of things to do. send a message and maybe also an alert tone to every1 on the map when someone leads a mission. And also to the person who logon to the server when there is mission awaiting people to join. If zombies get to enter the truck, they should start destroying the items that are loaded. I think they should also be able to damage or destroy the truck. If truck is destroyed, mission fail. As for the latest change, I do agree that high health should be able to defend our weapons better, but if it only breaks below 75% I'm not sure if it is a bit low. If a player is careful enough not be surrounded and heal up everytime when health is below 80%, there is little chance for the zombies. My suggestion is to make it 85 or 90%. The player with best armers may be able to sustain 2 or 3 hits before zombies have a chance to break their weapons. They would have to decide whether to use up more med kits or risking their weapons. 锦发/Steady Goh --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp mission suggestions
hmmm what about a chime, like a ding or a clock chime, should be easy to obtain. I have to much on my plate right now but if no one has got one by next week I will go russle up 1 from my database.

A couple of things I hope you will consider adding to your already very long list of things to do. send a message and maybe also an alert tone to every1 on the map when someone leads a mission. And also to the person who logon to the server when there is mission awaiting people to join. If zombies get to enter the truck, they should start destroying the items that are loaded. I think they should also be able to damage or destroy the truck. If truck is destroyed, mission fail. As for the latest change, I do agree that high health should be able to defend our weapons better, but if it only breaks below 75% I'm not sure if it is a bit low. If a player is careful enough not be surrounded and heal up everytime when health is below 80%, there is little chance for the zombies. My suggestion is to make it 85 or 90%. The player with best armers may be able to sustain 2 or 3 hits before zombies have a chance to break their weapons. They would have to decide whether to use up more med kits or risking their weapons. é¦å'/Steady Goh --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Wild west games was
Bavisoft Hi Dark, You know I have never really cared for human speech in games. I really do prefer the sapi5 speech. You know other than the little bits of human speech like Homer saying Woo hoo, Doh etc. And I really do not care for the heavy western accent. I do very much like shows such as Bonanza, Big Valley, Gun Smoke, Rifleman etc, but they do not have that heavy western accent like that. But, so, if a western game such as you suggested would work with sapi5 speech... - Original Message - Well it's an interesting genre and setting for games, and could fit either an action or stratogy game fairly well. One game I remember on the old Amstrad computer which would make a very nice audio convertion was a game called Kane. You were a desperado riding into the town of cane attempting to rob a bank. The first stage was you out in the desert, trying to get some provisions for lunch by targiting and shooting chickens with a bow and arrow duck hunt style, accept that as well as your moving horrizontal and vertical targit you also ran around the bottom of the screen so the arrow fired upwards, making the mechanics quite different. Then, you rode your horse to cane and had to jump fences and cacti, arcade style. Then, you got the shoot out, which was similar to bow and arrow accept that the marshal's men defending the bank fired back if you were too slow. Finally, you were trying to catch up to the train out of town, which was another horse riding stage, accept that as well as jumping over stuff you had to keep up with the on going train.

Re: [Audyssey] Wild west games was
Hi jim. Well you could always explain the plot and circumstances with written text in sapi, then have just a couple of yeeehaaaww, type quotes in the game itself, western is the setting not just the accent afterall. I must admit I'm less keen on actual in character speech being done in sapi, that is speech that is supposed to come from a human. An example of this in one of your gamesJim might be the quotes from crew and merchants in starmule, which imho would be better if recorded. I know though this isn't always easy what with getting voice actors etc, and certainly no game that uses synth speech where imho it should use a human has ever utterly put me off playing it, it's just a preference.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp mission suggestions

Re: [Audyssey] swamp mission suggestions
Actually med kits are not really valuable. There are plenty on the map. Even if the break point is at 90%, I believe I will still heal. 75% won't really change how i play but 90% might. I usually donate most of my med kits and my field kit before i go out on the run. I am pretty sure i will find before my health drops below 75%. One thing i noticed in 1.9 test1 is when in a mission is zombies never break any of my armer before. they only broke my weapons. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Christopher Bartlett themusicalbre...@gmail.com To: 'Gamers Discussion list' gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, January 20, 2012 9:21 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] swamp mission suggestions Here's a shocker!

One game I remember on the old Amstrad computer which would make a very nice audio convertion was a game called Kane. You were a desperado riding into the town of cane attempting to rob a bank. The first stage was you out in the desert, trying to get some provisions for lunch by targiting and shooting chickens with a bow and arrow duck hunt style, accept that as well as your moving horrizontal and vertical targit you also ran around the bottom of the screen so the arrow fired upwards, making the mechanics quite different. Then, you rode your horse to cane and had to jump fences and cacti, arcade style. Then, you got the shoot out, which was similar to bow and arrow accept that the marshal's men defending the bank fired back if you were too slow. Finally, you were trying to catch up to the train out of town, which was another horse riding stage, accept that as well as jumping over stuff you had to keep up with the on going train. I think Jim or someone could create an awsome homer like game along those lines fairly easily, and it's a fun setting to play around in. Beware the gRue!

For example, if we had a Star Trek FPS game you might want to play that game from the perspective of different characters. Each would have extra features or abilities that would be unique. In a TNG game Data might be faster and be able to exist in hazardous environments that would normally kill a human being without requiring a hazard suit. La Forge has his visor that allows him to see things that can't be seen with the human eye that could be handy in certain situations. Warf would have superior strength, stamina, and hand to hand combat skills that would make him a great fighter in combat situations. Playing a game from those different perspectives could be interesting. With Tomb Hunter the game is about a single character. No one else can fill her roll. In order to add more playable characters I'd have to invent them for that purpose, and then the plot has to be rewritten to tie them into the game. I'd personally not want to do that.

Good point Steady. I'm writing this down so I don't forget it for later. Hi Jeremy, I haven't get to testand compile the list of items that will crash the game yet. Will try to do it soon. A couple of things I hope you will consider adding to your already very long list of things to do. send a message and maybe also an alert tone to every1 on the map when someone leads a mission. And also to the person who logon to the server when there is mission awaiting people to join. If zombies get to enter the truck, they should start destroying the items that are loaded. I think they should also be able to damage or destroy the truck. If truck is destroyed, mission fail. As for the latest change, I do agree that high health should be able to defend our weapons better, but if it only breaks below 75% I'm not sure if it is a bit low. If a player is careful enough not be surrounded and heal up everytime when health is below 80%, there is little chance for the zombies. My suggestion is to make it 85 or 90%.

I've written down the radio problem so that I can figure out why it's starting on the wrong channel sometimes. Also it's a little funny that I had a typo in the footsteps code so raising it's volume actually makes it quieter. Basically the volume up and down keys are reversed from the bug, oops. HI, Just wanted to mention that a few have reported that when they startr the game, they are on channel 20. So if anyone starts and don't hear any chatter, check your channel. Thanks for the changes.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp mission suggestions
Actually Dallas I did it that way on purpose. I wanted people to have to decide between 2 main crate collecting strategies. The slower method is to head back to the truck each time you find a new one, where you spend more time traveling back and forth, but you aren't risking the crates. The faster method is a bit more risky. Instead of dropping off crates you just keep looking for them until you have a bunch. This doesn't waste time traveling back and forth to the truck, but also means you are risking the several you're carrying. If you should happen to die, your team loses those undelivered crates! a tone would be a good thing. one thing i have noticed, is that after a load of you grab items, those who get killed, don't seem to drop them again, for another to pick up. dallas --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp mission suggestions
HI, You mean that you can pick up more than 1 crate at a time? I didn't know that. I thought it was limited to 1 crate. That would have been nice to know on a mission where I was the only 1 left with 8 crates to go. And, also to be clear. Is there only 1 crate in the warehouse at any given time? So let's say I pick up a crate. Is another crate spawned somewhere else randomly at that time? Love the missions and just want to make sure I understand them as best as possible. Thanks in advance.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp mission suggestions
Correct Richard. When you pick up a crate another will randomly appear somewhere within the warehouse. You aren't limited to how many you can hold, so some players will gather up a few before making the trip back to the truck to drop them off. There will only ever be 1 crate in the warehouse at any given time. It has confused a few people when they realized they could gather up more crates than the mission is even for. This was done intentionally since dying means the crates you're carrying will be destroyed. In a mission where you only need 10 crates, you could have 6 people on your team all carrying 5 crates! That's 3 times as many as you actually need, but it was done this way in case some of your team mates are killed before returning to the truck. This does mean that a single person could wander around collecting 30 or 40 crates if they wished, but it won't give them anything extra if they do.

[Audyssey] most epic soul calibur trailer yet!
I couldn't remember the link for the English version, but here's a new trailer for Soul Calibur 5... which supposedly shows off parts of story mode. If that's true, this game's story mode will be the closest thing to an action adventure game's presentation I have ever heard. If I didn't know this was a fighting game that's exactly what I would've assumed. I'll do my best to translate, though if someone finds the English version of this vid, the dialog may be different. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjsRZlt9oAo The lines wil be in order, but I don't know who's saying what, so here we go... sis! You are worthy to wield Soul Calibur... Never heard of it. It is the spirit sword which was destined to stop the catastrophy brought on by the demonoic blade known as Soul Edge. Welcome back... I missed you. You dare to stand in my way? You mean the azure knight who wielded soul edge? That's just a fairytale to keep idiots from going after it... Wh--what's that? Is that the true soul edge?

Re: [Audyssey] Multiple playable characters
Hi Dark, I see what you are saying, and I guess what I was trying to point out that some games are just character specific. For example, Tomb Raider is and always has been about Lara Croft's personal story. When Edos Interactive added a male playable character in Angel of Darkness it did not go over very well with the fans. Most people, yours truly included, wanted to play the game as Lara Croft as usual not as someone else. With something like Shades of Doom the main character isn't even named and that game is open enough to add more than one character. David Greenwood could change the story so that instead of one person entering the lab perhaps its a highly trained team of special forces types. He could design multiple characters for that roll, and whoever you decide to play ends up getting trapped and has to find his/her way out of the lab. Given this revised storyline you still get the first-person action, but a choice of character rolls to play. Basically, weather a game has multiple characters or not depends on the game in question. Some games are not so character specific that other characters and rolls can be added. Others like Tomb Raider are lone wolf types where it is very character specific, and adding additional playable characters detracts from the game instead of enhancing it. A good developer will know when is and is not a good time to add multiple characters. Cheers! On 1/20/12, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi tom. That is true to a point, but I certainly have seen several examples of games where there is a single main character, but multiple other options. Even if you discount marrio brothers 2, (afterall technically both the brothers are the main characters of the series), what about the Mega man x series? X is the main character and much of the plot is about him, however as Zero got more popular people begged for the chance to play as him, which they got to do in a limited sort of special assist way in Mega man x 3, and in a complete sense in each game after that, indeed in Mega man x 7 Capcom introduced Axl as a third playable character (the fact I think axl is completely dull and uninteresting doesn't change the fact he's there). Then look at the Donkey Kong country series. In each game you play two characters together, however tey are not always the same two even though the big ape has his name on the title. In Dkc1 you play Donkey and his little buddy diddy. In two however, Donkey is captured and you have Diddy and his Girlfriend dixy. Then in the third game both! Donkey and diddy are captured and it's Dixy with Kiddy kong, a large baby ape she is baby sitting at the time. This isn't to say you should! put other characters into Tomb hunter, only that just because you have one main character and a story revolving around them, multiple characters are not impossible depending upon how you want the plot and gameplay to go. Samas Aran in the Metroid games is an absolute Loner, indeed in Metroid fusion she only took a computer as commanding officer on her mission under protest. It's very difficult to imagine Samus teaming up with anyone at all, one reason why the game Metroid Prime Hunter has been rather disliked by several people, simply because it broke a games character for seemingly no good reason other than nintendo wanted to turn metroid prime into a more standard multiplayer fps. I sort of imagine Angela the same way as Samas, so it deffinately wouldn't be unreasonable to say that multiple characters are out, just pointing out though that even in a one character series, you can always slot in extras. indeed, I think a game like SSuperliam, Q9 or shades of doom could support multiple characters very well, sinse there the main characters aren't explicitely said to be loner types.

It'll be basically a learn game sounds style review with game objective and mechanics laid out as neatly as possible.

Hasbro released it as the Phoenix, then Nerf, which is a subdivision of Hasbro, took it over and resold it without the neat accessories as something else, something along the lines of the Nerf Two-player battle system, but then they discontinued it. In short, if you want one of these, get it second-hand. Also, if you search for laser tag, you'll find a lot of stuff. Most of it sucks. Don't buy it. Essentially, stick with Light Strike. Yeah, it may not be the very best ever made, but it's really pretty good, and it's got a lot of roleplay value too. I'll point that out when I get the podcasts done, as I don't really feel like bugging my wife into making the youtube video look decent. That brings me to another point. Unless I get strangely lucky and I can get ahold of a pistol early, it'll be at least April before I have all three rifles and all three pistols. Right now, I have all three rifles, and I could review them, but I want to know what you guys want. Either I can do an individual podcast on each specific piece of equipment, as well as a sort of introductory podcast to the game, or I could just do a podcast on the game, then a podcast on the rifles, then a podcast on the pistols, then the rifle accessories as they arrive, and so forth. the advantage to the podcasts being on each piece of equipment is that you could jump to the piece of equipment that you have, or whatever you are considering purchasing. If I do it combined, I'll probably be more brief since there's more to cover, and it'll be a little easier to take it in all at once, but there's still the haphazard nature of the thing, doing the podcasts as the new stuff arrives. Finally, I could just wait until I have everything, including vests and the I.T.S., a turret device, and then release it all at once as either one huge podcast or as a huge project of them. The thing is, it'll probably be at least June before that happens. Good, because people will be more likely to be able to go outside in comfortable clothes to play. Bad, because you guys may not like the idea of waiting. Please get back to me on what you all prefer.

Either way, I'll try for conciseness, if you guys want, or I can just write. Either way, I want to give you guys as much info as I can. As I said also, I'm not buying the LTX, because I'm going to buy all the Light Strike I can. Obviously, the LTX stuff will have less of a review attached to it.

If that were the case, then we should be made aware of it in order to keep their reputation and their customer's loyalty in case they begin producing games down the road.

Re: [Audyssey] personal opinion of bavisoft
Hi Jim, That's always very possible. However, if that is the case all the Bavisoft developer/developers would have to do is send a message to the forum or Audyssey List saying we've now got a full time job and don't have the time to continue audio game development. That would be the end of the mystery and we'd know exactly where they stand. Justin from BSC Games sent a message to the BSC Games list and Audyssey stating he was now working 50 hours a week with a full time programming job and everyone understood. Dan sent a message to Audyssey stating that he was hired by a college to be a programmer and that he no longer had the time to put into DanZ Games. Liam let all of his customers know about his employment status as well.

[Audyssey] Your Opinion on Game Development Documentation
Hi all, I've started working on the USA Games developers website http://developers.usagamesinteractive.com and before I really get started on the language tutorials and things like that I'd like to get an idea of what you guys want me to do first. We've got a lot of different programming languages to cover such as Python, Java, as well as C# .NET, VB .NET, AND C++. I'm able to write and provide documentation for any and all, but it might help if I get an idea from you where you'd like me to begin. While Python is definitely easy enough for beginners I think there is already enough free documentation available on python.org and through the PyGame documentation that there are already enough beginner resources to get people started. All I'd have to do is perhaps link to them and my job is done unless you want me to attempt to write something that goes into more depth. Java is also doable and good free documentation is sometimes hard to come by. While there are free language tutorials like Thinking in Java is a great intro to the language the authors fail to write from an accessibility standpoint. I think Java could use some documentation written from a blind programmers perspective where SWT is the graphics API is used as the toolkit rather than Swing. Plus I've looked at JInput and Joal and while the APIs are decent enough for game programming the documentation isn't in a form for a beginner. I think this needs some tutorials aimed at a new Java game developer. What do you think? Finally, there is C# .NET and Visual Basic .NET. There is a lot of good commercial documentation for these languages, but not a lot of free documentation. While there are good resources on the languages I've found documentation on things like SlimDX very thin. Often the SlimDX developers point you to the Microsoft DirectX documentation that is geared for a C++ developer. Clearly this isn't going to work if you don't already know C++ and can translate the code examples into C# .NET or VB .NET in your head. Since I know C# .NET very well, and have been working on building a game engine for .NET languages I think that this might actually be the best place to start. I'd even be willing to release a public version of G3D.dll for .NET developers to help ease people's transition to C# .NET or VB .NET. Any thoughts on this?
