Re: [Audyssey] 2 question about entombed...
Nope, you can't actually resurrect them. You can summon their bones if you have a Necromancer, but then you can't control themand any injuries they sustained before they died will still be present and can't be healed. If you have a druid you can Reincarnate them, but then they might come back as something else that's weaker than what they used to be. On the up side you can crontrol them. But you can only do that once. Are you threatening me? I am the great Cornholio!

Hey guys, 2 question about entombed. First, I have come across some items that have flaming or sky in the name. When I do an examination of the item, it says that it is related to that elemental force. Does this help if lets say, a weapon is flaming, meaning fire related, and an opponent is more effected by fire? Second question, one of my party members has been killed. Is there a way to ressurect that character? I know you can dump the body, or sell it off in Twilight Town, which I have found better than leaving a former party member in the dungeon, because they have a tendency to reanimate and kick my butt for leaving them down there.

Re: [Audyssey] 2 question about entombed...
Hi Kieth. first as to the elemental weapons. yes, they will do more damage to elemental creatures of the opposing element, so try your flaming stuff on a water elemental. however, there aren't that many elemental creatures in the dungeon, and the rest of the time elemental weapons are no better than ordinary ones, so accept for a couple of battles there's not really much need to worry about them too much. As to bringing characters back, well necromancers can of course raise them as skeletons, and there are some ways to raise them as zombies as well (though I'll let you find those for yourself). there is also a reincarnate ability, which will bring them back to life but change their race, however they'll be extremely weak in this circumstance, so usually it's better to try and avoid death if you can.

It's just a small patch for now. Changes from version 2.4 to 2.5 - - In the last update I had accidentally caused many of the zombies to move very slowly even though their footstep sounds stayed normal. This was done during testing as I worked on new features and I forgot to change it back before posting the official file. It is fixed now. - The chatlog file now includes messages that you typed yourself. - I've added an official User Agreement which can be found in the file User agreement.txt. - I've made adjustments to the second map and also added in the ground work for what will become the next few maps. - More security measures have been added. - A new sub map has been added which will bridge the second and third main maps.

Re: [Audyssey] Exact figures of the competition?
Hi Philip, Yes. That would be nice. I'm not just interested to see how each game fared in the competition I'd like to use them as a bit of marketing research to see what kinds of things are important to the community. Is innovation more important than sound quality, or is stability more important than innovation or sound quality.

I know you can hit the shift key to pretty much access everything, the E key allows you to equip items, the I key lists your inventory. The up arrow moves you north, and the rest of the cardinal arrows move you in those directions. Is there any way to lay a waypoint to remember where a stairwell is.

Is there any way to equip them outside of a battle? And when moving around, lets say I have been heading East, if I hit the up arrow, does that make me turn in that direction, or do I automatically take a step north? It would be nice if the creator of the game included a readme file when the game installs. One more thing, as if there isn't enough to follow already. I plan on getting a laptop with windows 7 on it. I currently use windows xp. I have acquired a goblin card, which apprently allows me to create a goblin character.

Re: [Audyssey] The winner of the BGT competition, is...
Hi Philip, that's quite understandable. I know that story all too well. One reason it has been taking ages to finish MOTA is I am easily distracted with other things, keep putting it off until tomorrow, and the next thing I know its been like 10 days since I touched the code. I might work on it for six hours, and then not touch the code again for another four or five days. I don't stick to a daily schedule like I should. Anyway, I think the best way to handle this is by setting a minimum limit of 90 days. That's 30 more days than we had the last competition, and I'm pretty certain someone with decent time management skills could produce something like that on time. My initial draft of Montezuma's Revenge was actually produced in roughly three months and I coded it from scratch. So with something like BGT I'm sure I or anyone else could get things done much quicker.

Personally, I do not. I prefer having short development times where I spend many hours a day, rather than a more drawn out period. In the latter scenario I end up getting distracted from the project and I'm much more likely to leave unfinished. In other words, we need some sort of balance between these two. Two months may be on the short side, but similarly I feel that 6 months is pushing it a bit. 3 or 4 might be what I decide to go for, but that's still very much up for debate.

Re: [Audyssey] The winner of the BGT competition, is...
Hi, I agree with Dark. I think two months was far too short. I think four to six months would have been a much better time frame for the competition entries. I know one reason I myself didn't join was I didn't think I could produce anything of decent quality in two months. Sure I could have cranked out an arcade game like Troopenum or something, but some of the ideas I had were things like Prince of Persia, Castlevania, or similar type games that were complex enough to take at least six months for a basic game let alone fully develop it into a stable game for production purposes. Even a simple side-scroller like Q9 would need more than two months for a basic game demo. On 5/14/2012 4:09 AM, dark wrote: wow, that's most unexpected, congrats to Nikola as well. of course once I find out where the games are hosted I'll be glad to write up audiogames.net entries for them. Philip, this was a great competition, however one feeling I did have is that the participants didn't exactly have time to really let their skills show through, given the two month time frame. Retroremakes, darkbasic, donation coder.com and other such pc indi sites that have similar developement competitions usually give a six month developement period. While I don't despute we got some good games, not everyone who was going to enter got a chance to create a game, and I do feel that a longer developement period would have yielded a few more entries, heck even the arborell gamebook competition gives four months, and that's just for the writing of a gamebook in text, rather than the ful programming of a game. I would therefore really suggest that the next competition instead of being short notice, gives 4-6 months of developement time to entrants, to make certain everybody who enters can do the best he/she can. I'd therefore personally suggest you announce the comp in august or so, with developement time running september to december, and the winner to be announced in January. This way everyone gets notice, and we have a nice build up to the new 2013. The timing however doesn't matter, sinse obviously it needs to be convenient to you, I do however very much think that 4-6 months developement time would yield even better results for the next competition.

Re: [Audyssey] The winner of the BGT competition, is...
Hi Philip, Thanks for the announcement. That was a bit surprising, but congratulations to Nikola for winning the first BGT competition. I do hope we see another of these competitions if not this year next year as you say. :D Cheers! On 5/14/2012 3:48 AM, Philip Bennefall wrote: Hi all! Finally, we have a confirmed winner of the BGT competition! Some recent unexpected freelance work delayed this announcement, since I wanted to do the thing properly and make sure I had counted everything exactly right. Now, however, the result is final. It was a very even competition. Obsessive Compulsive was generally ranked very highly for innovation, The Spaceship received very favorable scores on sound quality, and so did Playmania. The result is as follows: Third place: The spaceship. Second place: Obsessive Compulsive. First place: Playmania. Thus, we award the prise of BGT Pro Unlimited to Nikola Stojsic. Congratulations! We will now be taking down the games from our server, but of course we encourage the participants to host the files themselves so that these games are not lost. I feel that this competition worked out splendedly, and so I have plans to run another one either later this year or in the beginning of 2013. Thanks very much to the participants, and of course to all of those who took the time to vote!

I know you can hit the shift key to pretty much access everything, the E key allows you to equip items, the I key lists your inventory. The up arrow moves you north, and the rest of the cardinal arrows move you in those directions. Is there any way to lay a waypoint to remember where a stairwell is. It's not like we can just draw a map when playing. Also, sometimes I save another person in the game, and then I have control of them when we get into a fight. Is there any way to equip them outside of a battle? And when moving around, lets say I have been heading East, if I hit the up arrow, does that make me turn in that direction, or do I automatically take a step north? It would be nice if the creator of the game included a readme file when the game installs. One more thing, as if there isn't enough to follow already. I plan on getting a laptop with windows 7 on it. I currently use windows xp. I have acquired a goblin card, which apprently allows me to create a goblin character.

Re: [Audyssey] The winner of the BGT competition, is...
Yeah, I completely agree; that was my problem... I had too much things for the school to do, tests, homeworks and so on that I didn't have a time to show my real programming knowledge, like I showed in new beta of aliens attack... Honestly, like aprone said, I had also feeling that 2 months are a whole century and I wasn't working on the contest thing all the time. But once I've started to write a code and do everything connected to making a contest thing I was taking every millisecond to do it, even in the school during classes, during breaks and so on. I honestly wanted and desired that I'll create action game, but I didn't have, and, honestly, I'm not sad, playmania is just good as a new idea. I alrighty planned which new serious games to add (not for the kids *smiles*) and to make it famous and serious game collection; first I attended to make, and a thing with which I won a bgt contest...

Hi Philip. That's why I said 4-6, rather than 6 straight out. i do think however that the initial time was too short. While you, and other developers like Aprone obviously work fairly quickly, that is not true of everyone, especially first time entrants into the competition who may have to try a number of versions of their game, or people with larger commitments in other areas such as family or work. For instance, last year I submitted an entry myself to the windhammer gamebook competition. However this year as I'm finishing my phd thesis I have not begun writing one. Sinse however the competition runs from April to the end of september, there is a possibility that if (as I hope), I finish my thesis in august, I might be able to run off a gamebook for the competition in september once it is done, something I couldn't do if the submission period was shorter. I do believe some of the bugs we saw in the competition games, like the sound and confusion issues in spaceship and the centering issue in the glass pouring game in playmania would've been resolved if the developers had had a little more time to work, and after all if a developer is a speed freak they can always finish the game early, this is why I personally would rather too much time than too little, that's why I'd myself plump for 4-6 months, as indeed the graphical indi game developement competitions have. It is however your decision. Beware the grue! dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

This sentence is funnier once you've been there. You must be atleast level 20 to enter this new map and you get there by heading East on Wilson road. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Nice! I am glad for Nikola! Nice work! Nice work to the others, also. Spaceship is good, and Jeremy is very creative too, we know it from Swamp and Castaways, but, once again, congrats for Nikola!

Hi all! Finally, we have a confirmed winner of the BGT competition! Some recent unexpected freelance work delayed this announcement, since I wanted to do the thing properly and make sure I had counted everything exactly right. Now, however, the result is final. It was a very even competition. Obsessive Compulsive was generally ranked very highly for innovation, The Spaceship received very favorable scores on sound quality, and so did Playmania. The result is as follows: Third place: The spaceship. Second place: Obsessive Compulsive. First place: Playmania. Thus, we award the prise of BGT Pro Unlimited to Nikola Stojsic. Congratulations! We will now be taking down the games from our server, but of course we encourage the participants to host the files themselves so that these games are not lost. I feel that this competition worked out splendedly, and so I have plans to run another one either later this year or in the beginning of 2013. Thanks very much to the participants, and of course to all of those who took the time to vote!

Re: [Audyssey] Exact figures of the competition?
Hi Quentin, I actually thought about a PHP solution, but came to the same conclusion as you regarding cheating. I didn't want to spend the time coming up with a PHP script that made cheating hard but still convenient to actually vote. So I decided to do it by email. I might look at other alternatives for the next competition though as you suggest. As for Jim's statistics posts, I haven't actually read those - believe it or not. Smile. Numbers scare me. But seriously, I'll think it through for the next one and try to come up with a method that works for everyone.

It's a lot like Diablo (for the sighted) in that fashion. And I like that you can choose a race and then a job, like in the paper and pencil dungeons and dragons type games. Right now I'm slugging though with a necromancer, who rased another necromancer, and my main character has a level 5 ice storm spell. Talk about putting on the hurt. One more question though. Is there a way to "dismiss" a character that joins your party? I've got a fairy trickster that really can't do anything but cast a few spells that I'm not finding that accomodating to my whims, if you will. I mean, I could just turn on him, but then I run the risk of dying and creating a new character and running into this guy again. Also, when you save a game, does the entombed program only save one game. meaning, if I crate another character to play with, and then save it, will it erase the one I had running before?

Re: [Audyssey] The winner of the BGT competition, is...
Personally I felt like the contest was far too long. I would have been a lot more revved up and excited about a contest lasting for only 2 or 3 weeks, but of course I understand I'm a minority in this. With 2 months I ended up dragging my feet until the last week, LOL. I don't actually expect to ever see a game contest this short though. It makes far more sense to give at least a few months since the average participant will be wanting that. :) I just felt like sharing. Oh yes, and congratulations to Nikola!

Re: [Audyssey] What I love about entombed
Hi kieth. You can only have one save at a time unfortunately. As to dismissing characters, no there is no way to do that. The skill of an entombed player is to match your stratogy to what the random generator gives you, and use the strengths and weaknesses of your different party members to best advantage. For instance, fairies are weak and easily hit, so the chalm spell of a trickster will be your friend, as will the tricksters' hide ability. Fairies also get many turns due to their speed, and high intelligence, so once you get to higher levels they can cause serious pain to your enemies, even though they are always at the risk of getting swatted. The entombed double jobs system is however unique. Jason has mentioned a sequal on occasion, and even expanding the skills and environments system, so I'm really looking forward to that. Beware the grue!

It's a lot like Diablo (for the sighted) in that fashion. And I like that you can choose a race and then a job, like in the paper and pencil dungeons and dragons type games. Right now I'm slugging though with a necromancer, who rased another necromancer, and my main character has a level 5 ice storm spell. Talk about putting on the hurt. One more question though. Is there a way to "dismiss" a character that joins your party? I've got a fairy trickster that really can't do anything but cast a few spells that I'm not finding that accomodating to my whims, if you will. I mean, I could just turn on him, but then I run the risk of dying and creating a new character and running into this guy again. Also, when you save a game, does the entombed program only save one game. meaning, if I crate another character to play with, and then save it, will it erase the one I had running before?

Re: [Audyssey] The winner of the BGT competition, is...
Hi Philip. That's why I said 4-6, rather than 6 straight out. i do think however that the initial time was too short. While you, and other developers like Aprone obviously work fairly quickly, that is not true of everyone, especially first time entrants into the competition who may have to try a number of versions of their game, or people with larger commitments in other areas such as family or work. For instance, last year I submitted an entry myself to the windhammer gamebook competition. However this year as I'm finishing my phd thesis I have not begun writing one. Sinse however the competition runs from April to the end of september, there is a possibility that if (as I hope), I finish my thesis in august, I might be able to run off a gamebook for the competition in september once it is done, something I couldn't do if the submission period was shorter. I do believe some of the bugs we saw in the competition games, like the sound and confusion issues in spaceship and the centering issue in the glass pouring game in playmania would've been resolved if the developers had had a little more time to work, and after all if a developer is a speed freak they can always finish the game early, this is why I personally would rather too much time than too little, that's why I'd myself plump for 4-6 months, as indeed the graphical indi game developement competitions have. It is however your decision. Beware the grue! dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] The winner of the BGT competition, is...
wow, that's most unexpected, congrats to Nikola as well. of course once I find out where the games are hosted I'll be glad to write up audiogames.net entries for them. Philip, this was a great competition, however one feeling I did have is that the participants didn't exactly have time to really let their skills show through, given the two month time frame. Retroremakes, darkbasic, donation coder.com and other such pc indi sites that have similar developement competitions usually give a six month developement period. While I don't despute we got some good games, not everyone who was going to enter got a chance to create a game, and I do feel that a longer developement period would have yielded a few more entries, heck even the arborell gamebook competition gives four months, and that's just for the writing of a gamebook in text, rather than the ful programming of a game. I would therefore really suggest that the next competition instead of being short notice, gives 4-6 months of developement time to entrants, to make certain everybody who enters can do the best he/she can. I'd therefore personally suggest you announce the comp in august or so, with developement time running september to december, and the winner to be announced in January. This way everyone gets notice, and we have a nice build up to the new 2013.

Re: [Audyssey] new and wanting game suggestions, please!
Hi Cait and Nickels, and all www.audiogames.net and www.pcsgames.net have tonnes of information on all the different kinds of games, the latter having more information about the sites and their newest game releases, and the former having more information on the games themselves. Also, Just thought I'd Correct you on a couple of things, tom: 1. its not "aliens in the outback" - its just alien outback. And 2. In Shades, (the affectionate abbreviation/nickname we give shades of doom for those who don't know), you're going through 9 levels of a research base where an experiment has gone horribly wrong. Just thought I'd flag those up so everyone is clear... lol. Don't take it as a pedantic insult from me, just take it as a helping hand from a fellow gamer!

Hi Caitlyn, Well, in terms of recommending games what exactly are you interested in. These days there are several kinds of accessible games from your Space Invader style arcade games like Aliens in the Outback, Troopenum, and Judgment Day to highly complex first-person games like Shades of Doom and Sarah and the Castle of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There are hundreds of accessible text adventures, several online muds, and even browser based games like Sryth. The best thing I can suggest is that you swing by http://www.audiogames.net and look at the database of accessible games known to exist for blind and low vision gamers. As for the games you are asking about they are Monkey Business and Shades of Doom. Monkey Business is about a number of laboratory monkey's that escape taking various parts of a teleporter with them, and you have to recover them and defeat the evil doctor behind the plot. The other game is called Shades of Doom and more or less follows a storyline similar to Doom where you go through a laboratory slaying monsters.

You can find it at http://www.blind-games.com/wiki/doku.php?id=entombed-main It's by no means complete, but does have a general key list. As regards other matters in the game, the tab key will let you switch betwene different members of your party when equipping or using skillpoints, and will also switch betwene different views in the main inventory. As to the map, it's simpler than you might think. just hit the slash key to get directions to the nearest unexplored space, the period key to get directions to the up staircase, and once you have found it, the comma to get directions to the down staircase, - though note it's probably worth checking the hole floor out for experience before going down. Other important keys are c, which when used in inventory or indeed the shop brings up a compare menue to compare the item to what your party has equipped of that item type, x to examine, and the number keys 1-8 which targit different areas of the body in battle. hth.

For any of you who haven't, it's on the times ashes collection, and the grue reference is hard to miss in darkness. - Original Message - From: "Charles Rivard" If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] I'm probably an idiot, but the same Entombed question
a lifesaver is a round flat candy that is fruit flavored with a hole in the middle of it. Supposedly, the creator's kid choked on a piece of candy, so he put the hole in it so if it got stuck in a throat, the person could still breath with it in there until they got the the hopsital. And I wish I could figure out how to pay for the full edition. For some reason, when i try and pay for it from the driftwood site, my credit card bank denies the payment. It's all payed up and I have credit avilable, but I have tried a bunch of times and it just tells me that the bank has rejected the transaction. Guess I'll have to stick with the free version. Thanks Keith P.S. I've made a couple of necromancers, and in the skills section, it says that they can use swords. But when i get my hands on one, I can't equip it. Don't know why. So I settle on freezing everything and let my pet and anything I reanimate do the heavy fighting.

Firstly, I didn't mean wikipedia, I mean the entombed online manual that is written in wiki format. You can find it at http://www.blind-games.com/wiki/doku.php?id=entombed-main It's by no means complete, but does have a general key list. As regards other matters in the game, the tab key will let you switch betwene different members of your party when equipping or using skillpoints, and will also switch betwene different views in the main inventory. As to the map, it's simpler than you might think. just hit the slash key to get directions to the nearest unexplored space, the period key to get directions to the up staircase, and once you have found it, the comma to get directions to the down staircase, - though note it's probably worth checking the hole floor out for experience before going down. Other important keys are c, which when used in inventory or indeed the shop brings up a compare menue to compare the item to what your party has equipped of that item type, x to examine, and the number keys 1-8 which targit different areas of the body in battle. hth. Seeing this makes me want to finish my entombed handbook project, i'll see what I can do about getting that done. All the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: "Keith "Stormcloud" Steinbach" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Monday, May 14, 2012 12:06 AM Subject: [Audyssey] I'm probably an idiot, but the same Entombed question Hi, Dark was good enough to tell me how to use skill points to up my skills in the game Entombed. He also gave me a lead on looking for entombed on wyki, but when I searched for entombed on that site, all I got was a lot of "crap" about some swedish death metal band. I know you can hit the shift key to pretty much access everything, the E key allows you to equip items, the I key lists your inventory. The up arrow moves you north, and the rest of the cardinal arrows move you in those directions. Is there any way to lay a waypoint to remember where a stairwell is. It's not like we can just draw a map when playing. Also, sometimes I save another person in the game, and then I have control of them when we get into a fight. Is there any way to equip them outside of a battle? And when moving around, lets say I have been heading East, if I hit the up arrow, does that make me turn in that direction, or do I automatically take a step north? It would be nice if the creator of the game included a readme file when the game installs. One more thing, as if there isn't enough to follow already. I plan on getting a laptop with windows 7 on it. I currently use windows xp. I have acquired a goblin card, which apprently allows me to create a goblin character. Is there any way I can port that option over to my Windows 7 machine, or do I have to start all over. Would kind of suck if i lost all the new jobs
