Re: [Audyssey] Sony PSP Ipad
Hi. I would also suggest soundrts, quentin c playroom and all the rs games client and other games. I'd also suggest all the usagamesinteractive games. and maybe aprones games though maybe killing zombies may have to come later. All the gma games should be quite good to later on though he is only 8 so be the judge of that. then there is sthe blastbay and l-works games. None of our games are particularly violent most are strat based. I know there are junk loads of iphone stuff like papa sangre, night jar and stem stumper, but I don't know them all as I don't play with any apple devices at all. wie sports can be played. I have seen the bozz games being played on a ps2 ps3 psp and xbox 360 as well as the sing star and some other rock band games. I have played some of them or heard some of these being played. Over that, I am not sure. I suggest if you can your child should run some of the stuff from the iff archive, there are loads of things. I don't know all of them now as I hardly play them and when I do its only tads and hugo now. That and inform are 3 major languages we have played. Over that there is probably not much I can suggest. Saying that if you end up finding something that works post it as we are always looking. So experiment and if you find something then post it. I think yohandy and a few others should advise you as there are at least 6 console freaks here on list that seem to be at sighted level that I can't even get. oh if you play entombed to that may be good there are probably others. I suggest you post something in the general ariea of the forum.audiogames.net site There are loads more players online and a lot are not on here.

Re: [Audyssey] Alter Aeon updates

Re: [Audyssey] Sony PSP Ipad
I must say on the subject of the psp that each games has an os update. ie if you don't have the requirements it asks you to install them and does so.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp version 2.2
Jeremy, that still is a problem. My char had 23 rep prier to update I updated, now I killed loads of zombies and got 71 rep. I entered into the safe zone. I tried to buy something and it said I hadn't enough rep I thought ok, its just that the client said I had to much. but no, i had 23 again so unless the client and server are way over whack I don't think its saving automatically unless I have to hit esc twice in safe zone to save rep which would suck. At 01:51 p.m. 1/05/2012 -0700, you wrote: In regards to the rep bug, I should jump in to give a bit of information about it. You aren't actually losing any reputation even though it seems like it. What's happening is that the client is incorrectly giving you too much reputation as you play and kill zombies. The server holds the correct amount and when you interact with the safe zone or travel, the mistake is caught and your client is given the correct amount. While this doesn't make it less irritating, at least you know that you aren't being jipped out of reputation points that you've earned. Hey Lori, There's a rep bug that Jeremy is trying to iron out. It hits pretty hard when you're just starting out, so let's hope he gets it sorted soon eh. For what it's worth I just lost 300 rep by going into a menu, so it's nothing you're doing wrong.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp 2.2 thoughts
The trouble when comparing Swamp with other multi-player shoot-'em-ups is that Swamp is a continuous Swamp has an on-going world structure. Other shooters' multi-players are rather like Swamp's missions. Those can't be paused, but there isn't a main map where people can run around and collect stuff. Most games simply have you spending money you get from missions for better stuff on other missions, if you have to spend anything at all. Swamp isn''t that type of game. You literally can't make enough from missions to keep yourself supplied for missions. That is why I do not think it would be completely unreasonable to have some sort of pause feature, or even a temporary disconnect that costs some reputation but keeps your character intact. I have three kids, one on the way, and I'm telling you right now that having a pause feature would be awesome, at least in the main map. Please keep in mind the differences between Swamp and most other similar mainstream games, because they are neat ones fun ones, but they also may allow for a different level of consideration.

Re: [Audyssey] Sony PSP Ipad
The ps3 and xbox 350s also have this function, especially for games that have online which is more or less 95% of games today. As to games themesleves, it's already been pointed out that most games on the psp are fighting games. But if your kid already plays GTA... well, that game is about as disgusting as it gets, and most fighting games will not be a problem. The ipad has some more games that are more kid-friendly, but it's all in what your kid wants to play.

Re: [Audyssey] Sony PSP Ipad
The thing about the Nintendo Wii is that it offers several titles which can be enjoyed, not only Wii Sports and the sequal Wii Sports Resort (which offers many more interesting games), but most of the party games as well. Also, with that console, even if your child is not playing the game at the same level as a sighted friend, they are still able to enjoy them. There are certainly several mainstream games which can be played, given time and patience. And if you are going to help him, the list increases. I sometimes just sist back and direct my wife to play through a game with me which would otherwise be inaccessible, and that experience works fine. It would be very helpful to me, from a recommendation standpoint, to know what sort of games, books, or pretend play your child enjoys. Shaun recommended in his first message an enormous list of games and developers. Certainly every developer and game is worth playing about with, and those developers are for strictly accessible games, but it would shorten the list to know what your child enjoys. I suggest, though, that you do start out with these games, as they are designed for blind persons to enjoy. I think that even the die-hard console gamers will agree with me that there is a certain level of frustration in learning a console that is not present in learning most audio games. I would also like to offer a cautionery word. Learning how to use mainstream devices is both easier and more rewarding than it was. Apple does a fantastic job of making their IPad, IPod, and IPhone accessible to the blind.d Other companies lag behind, but many are moving slowly in that direction. However, there are still many devices, gaming consoles among them, which are not designed for blind individuals to use. We use them, because we try very hard and are prepared for huge setbacks. Still, I urge you to be very careful in providing your child with only these devices and not investigating the audio games which are currently available. I do not mean that you are failing your child in any respect, and I see that you have said your son plays games on a notetaker, so it is clear that you are aware and willing to obtain these devices. I only urge caution and careful consideration when purchasing a new device which is not blind friendly, because it can either be tremendously rewarding and last in his mind as a treasured memory, or it can be frustrating and end up collecting dust in a closet. still, I also urge you to experiment and have fun. That is probably the best path to discovery.

Re: [Audyssey] Something wrong with the swamp speaker test
The speaker test isn't actually the game panning sounds. It is just a recording where sounds pan within the actual file. I could be wrong, so don't quote me on this, but I think the sound test file was made and sent in by a Swamp fan. I can't remember who it was though, so if the original author reads this perhaps they'll want to adjust the panning to more extremes.

Re: [Audyssey] Sony PSP Ipad
Dakotah made some good points. I don't know much about the wii so I can't comment much on it. But as I said, if your son already plays GTA that may make things somewhat easier. I started my gaming career through consoles before I even knew audio games existed, so I think it's entirely dependent on what the person is looking for. Audio games are a good place to start, but I think it's often more frustrating to play them first, as you then expect console games to be as simple and get more frustrated when you actually have to learn them. Though I will agree that sitting down with someone and playing through an action adventure together is pretty good too. And Dakotah also said that apple devices are more accessible... this is also definitely true, and I think games there would be somewhat easier to get into, since they're more integrated and learning the ipod or iphone would be simple. But all in all, I'd say the psp has a good list of games, all be it a small one... but if your son is willing to put in the energy to learn it and if you can help him along, it's definitely something to enjoy. Here's a short list of games that I think are accessible in series format, and as most people have said, pretty much all of these games are fighting games. Tekken series, with two games Street Fighter, which has one game on the psp and a few as part of capcom arcade collections Mortal Kombat unchained Fight night and other boxing type games WWE smack down vs. raw I haven't played all of these, and there are also more games than what is listed here. That's just a start. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Tweaks to Swamp chatlog and tracking in missions?
Hey Jeremy, Sorry, I know I'm bombarding you somewhat since starting playing, but when you have time, could you give these tweaks the once-over to see what you make of them? During missions, it would be great if the O and P keys only cycled through other players who're on that mission with you. At the moment, it's possible to scroll off the end of the chatlog and game messages buffers into dead space... oops! Could a shortcut be added to jump to the beginning and end of both buffers? Something like CTRL+, to jump to the most recent chat message, or CTRL+] to jump to the furthest back game message... you get the idea Im sure. Would be mega handy when you're catching up on what you missed and trying to avoid dropping out of the current conversation.

Speaking purely from a gamer point of view, I think that the point of a game is, well, for fun, and thus, when real life suddenly demands your attention, it should be reasonable to be able to pause that fun while you run like mad to the washroom...just for example...without, as someone pointed out, losing a week, or even month, worth of careful playing and saving up items. Otherwise, without such option, many of us probably wouldn't play swamp at all unless we know we are sure to have a few hours of uninterupted play-time at least, which in my case/life style, is pretty much impossible. Granted you can go to the safe zone and idle there, but if I'm on the other side of town, I don't have the time to run to safe zone without missing say, that important phone call from a client. If pause is too abuseable, then at least give an instant recall to safe zone option, say make it cost 200 rep or something, so when something urgent comes up, we at least have that way out fast. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Something wrong with the swamp speaker test
Actually, something I neglected to mention, I am totally deaf in the right ear and it is hard to pinpoint where the zombies are until it's too late. At 01:36 AM 5/3/2012, you wrote: The speaker test isn't actually the game panning sounds. It is just a recording where sounds pan within the actual file. I could be wrong, so don't quote me on this, but I think the sound test file was made and sent in by a Swamp fan. I can't remember who it was though, so if the original author reads this perhaps they'll want to adjust the panning to more extremes. Well, what's happening is unlike most speaker tests this one actually doesn't start and end on the extreme ends of the channels, so it starts somewhere in the slight left and ends in the near right, rather than doing it the conventional way. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp 2.2 thoughts
We do, I guess, have that disconnect. Seeing as you can't currently loose link in swamp, if your willing to loose everything you've gained since your last save, either closing the game via task manager or killing your internet connection will save your char. Of course, this isn't always so easy to do as pausing the game, (particularly if you use task manager) and it can hurt quite a bit; but I'm more than willing to loose a couple fuel and 1000 ammo instead of everything. Unfortunately, if you don't remember or don't have the time to pull this off then your quite stuck, and dead to boot. - Original Message - From: Dakotah Rickard dakotah.rick...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Date sent: Wed, 2 May 2012 09:10:29 -0400 Subject: Re: [Audyssey] swamp 2.2 thoughts The trouble when comparing Swamp with other multi-player shoot-'em-ups is that Swamp is a continuous Swamp has an on-going world structure. Other shooters' multi-players are rather like Swamp's missions. Those can't be paused, but there isn't a main map where people can run around and collect stuff. Most games simply have you spending money you get from missions for better stuff on other missions, if you have to spend anything at all. Swamp isn''t that type of game. You literally can't make enough from missions to keep yourself supplied for missions. That is why I do not think it would be completely unreasonable to have some sort of pause feature, or even a temporary disconnect that costs some reputation but keeps your character intact. I have three kids, one on the way, and I'm telling you right now that having a pause feature would be awesome, at least in the main map. Please keep in mind the differences between Swamp and most other similar mainstream games, because they are neat ones fun ones, but they also may allow for a different level of consideration.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp 2.2 thoughts
I'll give this some thought and see what I come up with. On a side note you are definitely correct that games are primarily for fun. The other thing to consider is that any time a game is multiplayer you are accepting responsibilities that wouldn't exist in a single player game. This even translates into real life. If playing a game of chess against yourself for practice, you might just walk away and come back an hour later. When playing with another person you have a responsibility to them which keeps you from doing that same thing. While the responsibilities are different depending on the game, I do believe every game becomes driven by more than simply fun once other people are involved. This wasn't meant to dismiss your ideas Johnny, I still plan to give this some thought to see if I can come up with a solution that fits with my design but also makes people happy. Speaking purely from a gamer point of view, I think that the point of a game is, well, for fun, and thus, when real life suddenly demands your attention, it should be reasonable to be able to pause that fun while you run like mad to the washroom...just for example...without, as someone pointed out, losing a week, or even month, worth of careful playing and saving up items.

Re: [Audyssey] Tweaks to Swamp chatlog and tracking in missions?
I've jotted these down, thanks Scott. Hey Jeremy, Sorry, I know I'm bombarding you somewhat since starting playing, but when you have time, could you give these tweaks the once-over to see what you make of them? During missions, it would be great if the O and P keys only cycled through other players who're on that mission with you. At the moment, it's possible to scroll off the end of the chatlog and game messages buffers into dead space... oops! Could a shortcut be added to jump to the beginning and end of both buffers? Something like CTRL+, to jump to the most recent chat message, or CTRL+] to jump to the furthest back game message... you get the idea Im sure. Would be mega handy when you're catching up on what you missed and trying to avoid dropping out of the current conversation.

[Audyssey] Need Help with Dimensions
Hi, I just bought the Dimensions game. I think it's going to be a good one, except that I'm now worried that I may have inadvertently bought something from the Quantum Cells store without wanting to. I was trying to find the beam button at one point, and ended up in the store. After not hearing the beam while dragging my finger around where I should be, I restarted Voiceover, which said that something was selected. Is there a way I can tell if I purchased something? I sure hope I didn't, as I don't know how to cancel the order or get my money back. As well, I somehow ended up in the Transform lab, then a Quantum Cells guage, and now I can't get out. What do I do? I'm now beginning to wonder if getting this game was a good idea. Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp 2.2 thoughts
Everyone, I don't know how applicable this would be to Swamp, but since Alter Aeon is also a persistent server, we've run into a lot of problems like this over the years. Since the internet sucked a lot more in the olden days, so we put in protection for link death: If a player loses link and is attacked to the point that they would die, the server transfers them back to the safe zone and kicks them from the server. There's a timer on this, so that if players drop link to escape death, the server will let them die instead of saving them. Some sort of 'work' mode that allows for this might help players, so that if a player hasn't been active for a few minutes the server will try to save and boot them when they're attacked. To prevent people from abusing 'work' mode, it might be necessary to have fewer or no rewards or gains when you play with it on. It's tough to handle 'real life' situations when they come up in a virtual world. As a game designer you want to preserve the integrity of the virtual world, but when real life gets in the way, all you can do is try to make things a little easier on your players. Swamp sounds like a really awesome game. It's neat hearing about all the stuff going on with it.

Otherwise, without such option, many of us probably wouldn't play swamp at all unless we know we are sure to have a few hours of uninterupted play-time at least, which in my case/life style, is pretty much impossible. Granted you can go to the safe zone and idle there, but if I'm on the other side of town, I don't have the time to run to safe zone without missing say, that important phone call from a client. If pause is too abuseable, then at least give an instant recall to safe zone option, say make it cost 200 rep or something, so when something urgent comes up, we at least have that way out fast. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Something wrong with the swamp speaker test
TBH, the maximum pan people usually go for in these tests is deceiving anyway if you're using that sound to position your speakers for accurate aiming. I mean, unless Jeremy has coded diferently, it would be logical to assume that the extreme left of the stereo field would equate to something nasty being at exactly 90 degrees to your left, exactly aligned with you.

Swamp doesn't actually care what gender you are, so for all intents and purposes, we're all sexless.

Re: [Audyssey] Need Help with Dimensions
Hi, I've only played Dimensions for awhile, but it's pretty good. It does take some getting used to, especially when it comes to finding where things like your beam are on the screen, but it shouldn't take long to figure out. I figured out how to get an artifact, but I can't defeat the nefalem (or however you spell that). During the training portion, whenever I tried to get rid of one, the game voice kept interrupting itself, so I never got the instructions right. I wish there was a way I could go back to that portion of the game. By the way, regarding my supposed in-app purchase, I believe that was just a false alarm. Still, it's good to be careful, especially since the prices they offer for more quantum cells can be rather high, such as the Ultimate Pack for $79.95! Ouch! Hope this helps.

[Audyssey] BGT interview
Hello all fellow audio game enthusiasts, I recently conducted an interview with Philip Benefall, from Blastbay Studios, about his game creation tool called the Blastbay game toolkit, or BGT for short. With his permission I have put it up on my website, at http://techwizard.info and just thought I'd share the direct link with everyone if you wish to check it out. The mp3 file can be found at: http://techwizard.info/technology_wizard_bgt.mp3 Enjoy, and feedback is welcome! -- Kevin J.

[Audyssey] The old Moonbase 3 game comes to Android Phones
Years ago, in the land of commercial Interactive fiction, there was an Amstrad space adventure called Moonbase by Mark Eakton. The game was available until 1988 or some time around there, when amstrad was bought by either Son microsystems or Microsoft. Now a new generation of adventurers can play this old game. The game includes tts capabilities (probably using talkback) and voice input capabilities, meaning that no matter what(unless your paralized, deaf and mute) you can play this game with ease. -- Beware the media! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp 2.2 thoughts
I agree that the contention with school thing is stupid. I go to college, have three kids and a wife, and am consitantly able to find a few minutes here and there to play Swamp. I suggest that it be very expensive but that some sort of transit to the closest safe zone be possible. Say a thousand rep. That way if you can risk it or if it's cheaper to just disconnect, you can do that, but if you just found literally every weapon and a pile of ammo, it's worth it. Maybe a thousand is huge, so five hundred, but I think it should really hurt to have instant safety. I also think that cheaters ruin their own fun. i don't mean that Jeremy shouldn't care about the problem, just that a cheater gets bored and moves on. As long as the server isn't being attacked, cheaters are just making the game boring for themselves. Why should they continue if therre's no challenge. Reason I'm saying this is because I think that implementing too many anti-cheating features, since there isn't really a way for one player to impact another directly yet, is a sweaty mess that seems to be more stress than its worth. Anything that Jeremy does is probably going to kick butt, and the pause thing isn't worth a major wrinkle. I do have to say though that Swamp is quite a unique game, all things considered, and that uniqueness comes with a slight price. We players can't have the same expectations as we would with other games, and Jeremy can't quite look at it as just another FPS. It just doesn't fit. I hope this finds you all well.

That's kinda inconsiderate to players like myself who have school to contend with ... I might argue that Aprone works nights and that it's inconsiderate of you to be so rude simply because he won't jump on the bandwagon and implement a feature specifically for you right away. I honestly found this a fairly rude comment, and were I in the position to do so, I'd be even more compelled to just leave things be on simple merrit of subpar decorum. John and Johnny: You can now hit escape and exit the game from almost anywhere, without the necessity to forcibly disconnect / terminate the client. Yes, this means you lose whatever you gained since you last logged on, but if you are just on for the fun of shooting zombies anyway, that shouldn't matter too much. There's so many ways I could think of a pausing system (in fact, they were being abused before when you could pause swamp), that I doubt the extra effort to contend with such tactics codewise would be worth it. I'd much rather Jeremy do some bug fixing and new feature implementation than to add things which themselves might cause him to have to lock himself in a rat race with people intent on cheating the system.

[Audyssey] Swamp: Glock 17. No really.
This guy is the real deal, folks. I subscribe to his channel, because he knows what he's doing. Check out this video for some awesome Glock 17 modification. Also, this mod doesn't really take much effort. I see possible mods like this in Swamp in future? Maybe? Hmmm? This is the line that is drawn between pistol and SMG.

Re: [Audyssey] swamp 2.2 thoughts
Hi Jeremy, not sure if you will consider making the server periodically auto save player stats and not just do that in save zone. Maybe like every 2 minutes or so. I know this takes out a feature in sz, but it fixes quite a number of problems. We won't worry about not able to pause the game to attend to something that requires immediat attention and not saving our work. We just have to quit game. But you will have to put the not able to escape when zombies chasing code back in so we can't quit every time when there is danger. Players will not lose most of the items they collect if they have connection dropout. At most only the last 2 minutes work. It also takes out a possible game cheat or at least makes it less effective. If someone goes out on a run, used up lots of ammo and didn't collect much and in the event break some weapons or armer now, he can quit outside sz, relogin and have everything back to the time he left sz. 锦发/Steady Goh - Original Message - From: Jeremy Kaldobsky jer...@kaldobsky.com To: Johnny Tai johnnyti...@shaw.ca; Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2012 1:16 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] swamp 2.2 thoughts I'll give this some thought and see what I come up with. On a side note you are definitely correct that games are primarily for fun. The other thing to consider is that any time a game is multiplayer you are accepting responsibilities that wouldn't exist in a single player game. This even translates into real life. If playing a game of chess against yourself for practice, you might just walk away and come back an hour later. When playing with another person you have a responsibility to them which keeps you from doing that same thing. While the responsibilities are different depending on the game, I do believe every game becomes driven by more than simply fun once other people are involved. This wasn't meant to dismiss your ideas Johnny, I still plan to give this some thought to see if I can come up with a solution that fits with my design but also makes people happy. Speaking purely from a gamer point of view, I think that the point of a game is, well, for fun, and thus, when real life suddenly demands your attention, it should be reasonable to be able to pause that fun while you run like mad to the washroom...just for example...without, as someone pointed out, losing a week, or even month, worth of careful playing and saving up items. Otherwise, without such option, many of us probably wouldn't play swamp at all unless we know we are sure to have a few hours of uninterupted play-time at least, which in my case/life style, is pretty much impossible. Granted you can go to the safe zone and idle there, but if I'm on the other side of town, I don't have the time to run to safe zone without missing say, that important phone call from a client. If pause is too abuseable, then at least give an instant recall to safe zone option, say make it cost 200 rep or something, so when something urgent comes up, we at least have that way out fast. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Games simular to Inspector Cindy games.
Hello, I just purchase the Inspector Cindy games, and I have to say I am enjoying them! As I was playing them I notice that those games remind me of the board game call Clue. It has alot of the same things as the game of Clue. But what I was wondering if anyone knows if there are anymore games simular to the Inspector Cindy games?
