Re: [Audyssey] MindCraft for the blind.
Hi Ken, I did not do as well as you did at Donkey Kong. Not sure that I ever even beat level one. Pole Position might have been my favorite as well. Pretty sure that I used to get pole position. I even liked the time trial or practice mode. I would practice taking the best lines through the turns etc. You know trying to get better and better lap times. I forget though which Atari games were for my 2600 and which were for my 800 XL home computer.

Re: [Audyssey] king of draggon pass help please
That's odd Darren. Once I completed storm tribe successfully an encounter showed up fairly quickly asking me to make a tribe, but I'm not absolutely sure on what triggers that encounter. Of course, you have to actually complete storm tribe successfully (something I didn't do the first time). Perhaps checking the King of dragon Pass Wiki would be helpful if your really stuck.

[Audyssey] Finished a drk room
okay I've finished the game now. Lots of fun and I'll certainly do it again. my completion time was 267 minutes. once I knew you could turn an explored location into an outpost, things worked far better. In general a really awsome game, though i wish it'd been longer with more items and different locations and more stuff to find on the map. Beware! spoilage ahoy! I don't know what Aaron means regarding south or finding helpful stuff. I found enemies got harder the further I went from the village, but things didn't particularly change regarding loot , the battlefield is the highest quality loot area and the place to get the carbine and batteries, but other than that I didn't find anything different apart from the two story locations, the wrecked ship and the swamp. funnily enough as I said regarding exploring, I think I probably just did everything the wrong way around since I didn't know you could get water from explored locations making it harder to go to further away places. When I realized I needed alien alloy for the ship I just sold off all my firs, teeth and scales to the merchant, and wound up with a ship with 29 hp, (you can tell how much resources I had, particularly since I traded some firs for teeth). I wasn't sure if 29 would be enough but it turned out it was, - just! the only weerd occurrence I had was o I only gave the chap in the swamp one jewel, so only got one comment from him, but then I seemed to have more for some reason, but couldn't find the swamp again. I also notice the amulet has indicators on the map so I wonder if there is an encounter I missed there, particularly since the ending with the starship was a little grim, it would have been nice to take my slaves off with me, and I do wonder what happened to the builder in the end. A great game though and one which will certainly get a db page, I also particularly hope it gets expanded or even a sequal. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] king of draggon pass help please
Hi Ken. You need to get the gift giving amount exactly right, since you don't want to look like either a fool or a miser. If I remember rightly 10 cows is a fair gift and 20 is a generous one, (ie one for a clan who are really! pissed off at you), but check the manual section on relations for the exact numbers.

Hi Decota. the manual is in a weerd place, it's in the law section with all the myths, glossery etc, just skip through and you should find the button to read it, I recommend reading and referring to it a lot. Annoyingly, though it's available on Asharp's own site the pdf seemed a little whacky so your best off reading it in the game. hth. BEware the Grue!

[Audyssey] SpellStack out on Google Play Store
Hi Audyssey, This is Kwasi Mensah, the developer behind Stem Stumper, a game I know a lot of people on this list enjoy. I wanted to let everyone know that we just released our newest game SpellStackhttp://www.ananseproductions.com/spellstack/. It's this awesome combination of Connect 4 and Scrabble that lets you play your friends online that you can see in action herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWEz1OIARUI. You can pick it up on the Google Play App Storehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ananse.Helena right now. We're still working getting through Apple's submission process but we should hopefully also be out for iPhone/iPads by the end of the month. It's not quite an audio game. It's a word/strategy game that we've spent a lot of time with Talkback to make accessible. I'm going to be reaching out to podcasters to make sure there's a good audio tutorial to help guide people through the learning curve. But don't be afraid to email me any questions at kwasi.men...@ananseproductions.com If you want more regular updates about Ananse Productions make sure to Like Us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/AnanseProductions, Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/AnanseProds or Join our Mailing Listhttp://eepurl.com/eu2LA.

Hi. like a fun idea for a game, I think I can imagine how such a game would work, though I'll be interested to find out. I'll look forward to seeing what the Iphone version is like. Out of interest do you have a spell stumper pod cast? I'm interested in the game but i'm not £ absolutely certain from the description what the layout and gameplay is like exactly or how the audio works, eg, is it first or third person, is it packman style or more similar to a spacial puzzle game like sokoban etc. If you've got a podcast or a tutorial it'd be nice to hear one just to give more of an idea of how the game works, especially with the audio landscape with different music for objects etc. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] MindCraft for the blind.
Hi guys. I'm not sure how open this topic is anymore, but there's another game that I think you guys should be aware of. It's a bit like Minecraft, but it's in a 2d setting, a side scroller. That would be both a lot more doable and a lot easier to actually pull off as an accessible game. I'm not suggesting that we could play Terraria either, but it's a concept worth looking at, and frankly I think it's a much better game than Minecraft.

Re: [Audyssey] android games
Consider this. Right now, most of the info on Android that you find on the net is outdated and not really workable in terms of research. For current data, check out the eyes-free google group. It's active, open, and friendly. Furthermore, Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.0, is really making strides in terms of market numbers, and 4.2 Jellybean isn't terribly far behind. Sure, you see a bunch of people running older stuff, but that's not really the fault of the people or the device. Most Android devices have been phones and similar, devices whose upgrades aren't at consumer discression. In fact, there is good info that if carriers and device-makers would allow it, Android 4.4 would actually run pretty well even on older tech. Finally, there's the issue of suspending and reactivating Talkback. When I was a total Android newb, I didn't know how it could be done easily, but then I figured it out, and now I'm as contented with the Android market as with the iOS one. In fact, I'm starting to see some of the glaring holes in iOS that I missed before. I suppose my basic point is this. Why not try it? Why not develop a simple game, charge a buck for it, and see if people take the bait. Better yet, get people interested with a completely awful free game, then just increase your price point from there. The time and energy involved wouldn't be too large a commitment, as Android development can easily be done in Java, a program language both familiar and relatively easy to use and implement. Don't give up on Android just yet, and don't assume that anything you find out, unless it's both current and first-hand is an accurate portrayal of the capabilities of Android. I don't know if this will change your mind, but I hope it will open the door and plant a seed.

[Audyssey] A dark room, alternative ending and developer thoughts
I sent a mail to the developer of A dark room, to firstly say I liked the game and particularly the access, and to ask about possible expantions or future plans. He (I believe the name Amir is a man's name), said that he didn't plan to expand the game since he felt the current length was as he wanted. however he is thinking of more games, possibly even aprequal, though he'd appreciate people to give the game good reviews and publicity. One thing he did tell me though which I am trying now, is that the game has an alternative ending, which is tantamount to a different play mode. to get it, you need to complete the game without building a singlehut! that's right, no slaves at all! this obviously means you need to explore and battle for all your materials, which changes gameplay around. The only annoying part is that to unlock the first exploration stage you actually need to build traps, which is a rather long process just by gathering 20 wood a pop, (nobody said this was an easy mode). I'm trying it now, just because I did rather enjoy this game, and I can see the alternate ending being quite a challenge to get since it needs far more exploring. The developer did state he's looking for 5 star reviews, so if people like the game perhaps they can contribute, to encourage the developer to do more in the same style, or perhaps even something more ambicious next time, (last I checked you needed facebook to write a review so annoyingly I couldn't, but when I am back at my flat with my bluetooth keyboard I'll try again).

Re: [Audyssey] android games
HI Dakotah, Not sure if Thomas is on the Eyes-Free list but I am, and I think much of what is being discussed here is really pretty current as regards Android accessibility. If there are issues that we're missing, can you maybe go over them point by point? This would really be helpful to me and I'm sure to others as well. We definitely all want the best info here. :) and I'm sure all the Android users would want to get that out as well. Thanks bunches and have an awesome day / evening!

Re: [Audyssey] MindCraft for the blind.
Hello, I'd forgotten Terraria completely! Terraria is also a similar game but as it was said, only in 2d.

Re: [Audyssey] MindCraft for the blind.
Well I played minecraft with my cousin on his xbox 360. Firstly the music is utter crap. It may have improved in the pc version but it made my ears want to drop off after just a minute of listening. The sound fx sounded like they were coming out of a crappy sound box kids use. Now I am not saying sound boxes are crap I have 2 of them but I wouldn't concidder them worthy of playing games with. There is supposed to be more sounds that are better. But unless minecraft was made tesxt based or something I think I'd get bored after 5 minutes of play, I quit using it. At 04:17 PM 1/7/2014, you wrote: Hi listers Minecraft itself was quite cheap, considering the price of 15 euros when I purchased it. But as those guys are actually pushing the limits of Java, the humble talking about accessibility of mine fell on deaf ears, but so long it's ok, my relatives are playing under my account and enjoying it immensely. Minecraft as a matter of fact doesn't even have a ton of sounds attached to it, if not talking about mods. The only thing that needs to be realised here is that I think we are coming to the point where people are not afraid any more having a 100x100 map layed out before them and navigating it if sufficient data is provided. David Greenwood with his T.O.T. managed to make a small incursion into the land of such big maps and I hope that when T.O.T. gets updated it gets much more into it. But this is generally more to speaking about the strategy games. Was there anything so difficult about mortal kombat? No. The answer is simple, the playroom is small, so moving is limited, but what really gave the game it's replayability was the intelligent AI and the fact that you needed to act fast as hell, thereby producing huge amounts of adrenaline. Mortal kombat was easily beatable by anyone without sight. Now coming to the new mortal kombats on consoles or the last one on pc, than the story modes and such puzzles would need some tweaks for those who can't see, but it's all a question of making it. At this point I would think it could be easier to program a game similar to minecraft or civilisation, because before civ4, even they didn't make heavy use of sounds and background music.

Re: [Audyssey] android games
Hi Dakotah: Up until a couple of days ago I was on the Eyes Free mailing list, and I believe my information is as up to date as it needs to be. I seriously looked into Android game development, and decided for the moment it is not for me. I think that is what you, Josh, and some others perhaps are overlooking. I did the necessary research, checked out a few phones, and decided in the end it was not very economic from a business perspective. That is not to say my mind is absolutely set in stone. On the contrary I like where Google is heading with accessibility, I am of course well versed in Java, and I may revisit the issue once KitKat etc becomes more common on phones and tablets. Plus as I am interested in commercially targeting the platform I'd really like to see more blind users for Android than there appears to be currently. Also as I do not personally own any Android phones or tablets to test my games and other software I'd have to invest in one, and any software I may or may not write in the future for the platform would be predicated on the fact that I would buy one for use and would have a personal desire to see more games for the platform. Until these things happen I'm holding off for a while. HTH --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
