Re: [Audyssey] montezuma's revenge
Hi Josh, Not really. The thing here is that they would end up being two completely different games, and the only thing that the text adventure would have in common with its audio game counterpart is the basic storyline. Other than that they would end up being vastly different games. To explain the thing about Montezuma's Revenge, like most arcade games, is that it relies heavily on fast action, decision making, and relies on avoiding things such as jumping over rolling skulls, snakes, spiders, and various traps. If you lose that element of jumping over things the game loses a lot of replay value as well as the primary mechanic of the game. Something that would have to be replaced with something else in a turn-based text adventure mode which wouldn't be the same at all. Plus Montezuma's Revenge wasn't ever about combat to begin with. While you could obtain swords by finding them in various places they would vanish after you used them. Meaning you had to mostly rely on your skill and your wits to avoid enemies rather than rely on a sword to kill them. That would never work in a turn-based text adventure where there is little to no way to avoid enemies by jumping over or ducking under them rather than fighting them outright. So that aspect would have to change to suit the turn-based play which would ruin the game. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] interactive fiction games question
Hi Dark, Okay, I get where you are coming from, and I need to clarify a few things here. By Inform I mean the Inform 7 language itself not Glulx. Yes, I know basically Glulx is an updated and extended version of Inform, but when I say Inform I mean Inform not Glulx. So with that in mind Inform 7 itself isn't the best option for an RPG, because it has a limited number of types, (objects,) for handling massive numbers of stats. Glulx is indeed better for this sort of thing because Glulx was written and expanded to handle all kinds of things that Inform on its own couldn't do. However, I will also admit I am coming from a slightly biased opinion. I am a college educated programmer who has worked with everything from script kiddy languages like Inform to assembly code. As a result it is sort of beneath me to go back to using a language like Inform or Glulx, which I consider script kiddy languages, because I can see their limitations firsthand. I feel boxed in by lack of features, lack of ability to do what I want to do with it, and regard them as languages for rank amateurs. An attitude I am sure most interactive fiction writers would probably not appreciate. The problem has to do with object oriented programming and philosophy. In OOP languages like C++ I can create an unlimited number of classes to build anything and everything my heart desires just by writing the class and then creating an object of that type in my program. In a language like Inform you have 16 basic types such as Doors, Man, Woman, Animal, Thing, etc with very little ability to expand those types or modify how they function. They are just there, and you have to make do with them. So as a more advanced programmer I want to be able to go into the underlying classes and modify how the doors work, define what a Man or Woman is, and if I want to create a special creature or monster of some kind I don't want to use a generic Animal type. I want to be able to define more specific monster classes etc. I hope I'm making sense here. I guess what I am saying is if I am going to write a full fledge Dungeons and Dragons RPG I'd start out with a language like Python instead of Inform, because I can create specific classes for orcs, goblins, elves, demons, warriors, you name it without having to rely on generic types like Man, woman, or Animal. Why should I, a skilled programmer, settle for generic classes and simplistic game mechanics when I can write something better? Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] interactive fiction games question
Hi Dark, Me too. I don't think it is possible to write a text game these days that would challenge today's RAM, hard drive space, or CPU too much. Text games are the most simple to write, and don't have any of the hardware requirements of video games, or even audio games for that matter. In any case I am becoming a huge fan of text games simply because anything is possible. One doesn't have to spend hours finding the right sound for this or that or spending any time drawing and creating graphics. All one needs is a good imagination and a text description of whatever the world and characters looks like. That makes anything possible, and it ends up being accessible to everyone blind, sighted, deaf, you name it. The best possible medium for the most number of people from an accessibility standpoint. As far as Glulx and sounds I'm not quite sure. I know Glulx was basically designed to have limited sounds and music, but can't say to what extent. Then again, I've been looking into my own text adventure system so have had little interest in working with any of the off-the-shelf solutions like Glulx personally.

Hi Dark, Well, there are a few Adrift games that aren't too bad such as the PK Girl and a couple of others I could name, but again a lot of it depends on personal interests here. However, like you I am coming to the conclusion that a limited parser system is better than a very complex one. A complicated parser system allows for too many instances of guess the verb puzzles which is annoying to say the least.

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestion for park boss
If anyone lives in the area but hasn't been there, head over to the Lagoon amusement park in Utah. There's a particular rollercoaster there called the Wicked, a name which I can assure you is quite appropriate. Go on it at least once just for the experience. I can almost guarantee your legs will be jelly for a considerable little while after you get off and you'll probably need to find a place to sit and pull yourself together. I went there with my ex girlfriend Sandra once very early in our relationship. It was a fun experience but I don't know that I'd care to repeat it. Imagine putting a ride like that in Park Boss. LOL.

You and another person sit in a pair of connected seats side by side, which are at the top of one edge of the canyon. You are only held in by a very thin harness. They then remove the floor from beneath you both and slowly tilt your seats down so you are now facing straight down the canyon wall, and you are only held in at this point, by your harness. I love these sorts of rides and trust me, it is pretty scary at this point, even if you cannot see. ;) Finally they count down from three to 1 and release you. You fall straight down the canyon wall and swing out to the center of the canyon and onward toward the other side. You then begin to drift into a spin and swing backward toward the canyon wall where you started and so on. The seats swing on a single cable, so you continue to spin as you swing. The zero G is like nothing I've experienced so far and I have gone on every zero G ride I can find. :) Once the ride calms down, it is actually amazingly graceful and beautiful. It's like you are flying and gently twirling in a dream. You are basically out in close to complete nothingness. It's also really cool as you can hear the river a long way off below you. It is about 2 or 3 hundred feet below you and you can hear it flowing as you swing above it. It is awesome! :) There is also a ride in Vegas which I plan on trying which has you jump off of a platform 850 feet above the ground. You are in a harness and jump straight down the side of the stratosphere. So it's like BASE jumping or bungee jumping on steroids. :) You go all the way to the ground so it is quite a lot of zero G. I'm looking forward to it!

Charles, You had mentioned about the Vomit Comet. There is now a version of this for the general public. http://www.gozerog.com They also subject you to Mars gravity and Moon gravity as well.

Thanks dark I downloaded filfre so where can I get games or is that books and I am using system access for my screen reader and again thanks and sorry for sounding stupid but this is all new to me -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: Friday, October 10, 2014 10:26 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] kerkerkruip Hi Wayne. There are no specific guides to interactive fiction for blind/vi users, however there are several general if guides, and sinse If is inherently accessible anyway as all your doing is reading on screen text and responding, that shouldn't be a problem. In terms of software, all you need is an interpreter and the game files. Interactive fiction games are like music files and you play them in an interpreter program just like you'd use Winamp, Windows media player, itunes, Vlc player or whatever to play your music files. For what interpreter you need, that depends firstly on what format of game your looking at playing, and secondly what screen reader you have. some people find the Filfre interpreter helpful, (I don't have the address on me but there is a page for it on audiogmaes.net), which can run Zcode or Glulks format games, I personally prefer win frotz and win glulks as I said, again, all of these have audiogames.net database entries so go and check there for more information. Once you have the file and the interpreter, it's just a question of reading the text and responding with what you type into the interpreter. interactive fiction are basically interactive stories that repsond to commands in truncated sentences, so the commands are realtively easy, stuff like get sword, light lantern, directions such as north and south etc. For a general guide see http://www.microheaven.com/IFGuide/IFGuide.pl?step=6&c=0 for instance. The site is a little dated but it explains all about what interactive fiction is, and how to play it, though as I said for interpreters you probably will want to investigate some alternatives. Sorry if this is a little scatty, I am not in a very awake state at the moment due to sleeping badly last night, if you have any other questions please ask. Hth. Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestion for park boss
For anyone whom might be interested, the ride in Vegas I mentioned, is called the Sky Jump. I've pasted below, the FAQ (which is pretty funny) :) and here is the linkie to the official site. http://www.skyjumplasvegas.com And now the FAQ! :) Cheers! Cara What weather conditions will shut down the ride? Ride will close due to inclement weather. SkyJump cannot operate during winds over 44 miles per hour, or other extreme conditions like heavy rain and lightning. Fortunately, this is Las Vegas & it's usually hot and sunny. Where's the best place for my friends/family to watch me from? That entirely depends whether your friends prefer the bottom or the top. There is a more-than-adequate viewing area in the SkyJump landing area, located off the SkyJump store. Viewers will watch skyjumpers from below in the open air as they tumble towards the earth. There is also a big screen television located in the SkyJump store, broadcasting the big jump live. Those who prefer to get a bird's eye view and aren't afraid of heights may enjoy watching the jump from the 108th floor, inside the Tower glass. Is there a secure place to put my personal items while I jump? Yes, skyjumpers will have access to their own personal locker, with a key. Is there a bar nearby? Of course. We wouldn't expect you to contemplate a 108-story jump without the aid of some liquid courage. Air Bar on Level 108 is the highest bar in Las Vegas, and the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail or beer while you check out spectacular views of Sin City day or night. What is the entourage ticket? If a member of your group purchases a jump, you will be given an entourage ticket which you can take to the Ticketing Center. You will be able to purchase Tower tickets at $7 each, for up to 4 people. Tower admission is normally $20 for adults, $10 for children, and $12 for seniors or Nevada residents. Group discounts may be available. Do you have a special "locals" price? Yes, locals can jump for $99.99. There is also a "locals" price for Tower Admission. What exactly is SkyJump? It's the only sky jump in North America and the highest in the world. SkyJump is a controlled descent, similar to a vertical zip line. The launching pad is located on the 108th floor of Stratosphere Casino, Hotel & Tower in Las Vegas, 855 feet above the Las Vegas Strip. Jumpers are harnessed in and attached to a cable that is connected to a descender machine. Guide wires keep the skyjumper on course and on target. Just before reaching the rapidly approaching ground, the skyjumper is slowed down for a controlled and safe landing. How safe is it? Very safe. But not soo safe that it isn't still a thrill. Where's the fun in that? New Zealand has been operating SkyJump for more than 10 years without injury. Before jumping, the skyjumper will receive a short safety lesson from an extensively trained Jump Master. How many riders? SkyJump Las Vegas is a solo affair. It's limited to one skyjumper at a time. What do my friends do while I'm getting ready to jump? Point and laugh. Whisper behind your back. Say their final goodbyes. Kidding! Your friends will be plenty entertained as they peruse the SkyJump store and purchase your fresh pair of underwear and other SkyJump trinkets. They can also pass the time enjoying the multiple other attractions in the Stratosphere Tower or by uploading embarrassing photos of you in your SkyJump jump suit to Facebook. What if I want to do it again? You will want to do it again. And you can, for $59.99, if you stay suited up and jump the same day or purchase the re-jump while purchasing the first jump. Or you can invest in a SkyJump package including a video of the jump, so you can relive the experience again and again. How much time should I budget? Between being suited up, taking the sweat-inducing ride to the 108th floor, undergoing multiple safety checks, standing on the ledge of the Tower and taking the 855-foot plunge, the experience totals about 35 to 45 minutes. Is it scary? You're about to jump off the 108th floor of a building and fall 855 feet at a scream-inducing speed! What do you think? What else is there to do in the tower other than SkyJump? The Stratosphere Tower is the tallest observation tower in the U.S. and one of the most exciting attractions among Vegas Strip hotels with thrills you can't find anywhere else, including international shops and one-of-a-kind rides, like Big Shot, X-Scream and Insanity, the Ride. There are plenty of places to grab a drink, including Air Bar on Level 108 and Level 107 Lounge. There's an award-winning restaurant, Top Of The World, and an international marketplace, the Tower Shops. The Observation Deck was voted year after year as "The Best Place To View Las Vegas" by the Review Journal. What if I chicken out after I've already paid? Well, apart from embarking on a humiliating walk of shame past multiple leering tourists and all of your friends who are shouting chic

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestion for park boss
There is a ride I just went on last month on Pikes Peak, called The Terror-dactyl. It is at the top of a 700 foot deep canyon with a river at the bottom. You and another person sit in a pair of connected seats side by side, which are at the top of one edge of the canyon. You are only held in by a very thin harness. They then remove the floor from beneath you both and slowly tilt your seats down so you are now facing straight down the canyon wall, and you are only held in at this point, by your harness. I love these sorts of rides and trust me, it is pretty scary at this point, even if you cannot see. ;) Finally they count down from three to 1 and release you. You fall straight down the canyon wall and swing out to the center of the canyon and onward toward the other side. You then begin to drift into a spin and swing backward toward the canyon wall where you started and so on. The seats swing on a single cable, so you continue to spin as you swing. The zero G is like nothing I've experienced so far and I have gone on every zero G ride I can find. :) Once the ride calms down, it is actually amazingly graceful and beautiful. It's like you are flying and gently twirling in a dream. You are basically out in close to complete nothingness. It's also really cool as you can hear the river a long way off below you. It is about 2 or 3 hundred feet below you and you can hear it flowing as you swing above it. It is awesome! :) There is also a ride in Vegas which I plan on trying which has you jump off of a platform 850 feet above the ground. You are in a harness and jump straight down the side of the stratosphere. So it's like BASE jumping or bungee jumping on steroids. :) You go all the way to the ground so it is quite a lot of zero G.

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember
There is an amusement park right across the street from MetroCenter in north Phoenix. Their best coaster is a double looping coaster that has a unique feature. As you're at the top of a hill, the coaster leans to one side or the other. Then, at a slant, it takes off down the hill, through the curves, and through a loop. Then the process repeats, but the second loop is higher. A good ride, but too short. Their other coaster is more of a family coaster that goes through sort of a figure 8 track that has hills and turns, and it runs the track twice before stopping at the loading station. --- Be positive!

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestionfor park boss
Hi Charles, I agree, coasters are the best, even though some other rides are fun. I believe that one of the newer coasters at Cedar Point goes out over Lake Erie. Since it is newer I have not experienced it visually and thus don't know if it looks like you are going to end up in the lake or not. Things like that are fun though. BFN - Original Message - While other rides are fun, my favorites are the roller coasters. The best old wooden coaster used to be at The Pike in Long Beach, California. On one of the curves at the bottom of a really big hill, you went out over the ocean, and it looked like you were going to go right into it! You can find info about this coaster on YouTube, but I remember riding it when I was young. The only way we could get Dad to go on it was to get him a drink first, and he usually wasn't a chicken. Mom was, though. She said we were nuts to ride that thing.

Re: [Audyssey] configuring windows glulx
Hi Josh. You can bring up the options menue in winglulks with alt g, then scroll down to options. I'd recommend turning off as many elements as you wish in the general page, for example gaps between windows, status bar and option menus to clear the screen for text. You can also set sapi to speak incoming text if you wish as well. I know Jaws is apparently better with filfre, I'm not sure about other screen readers. I like Winglulks with supernova because it is possible to turn off all the stuff on screen and just have the text which is easier to read with the dolphin curser, but there is no rule on this. Note however, with kerkerkruip specifically there are other factors whatever interpreter your using. You can turn off the informational pannels in the game which can get in the way, and also you can turn off the hyperlink menues (I didn't find them a problem personally but apparently some people did).

Re: [Audyssey] JAWS 16 not working with the Playroom?
Hi. This is a known issue. Quenton the developer of the playroom knows about it. We're supposed to be working together to fix it, since mush z and monkeyTerm and my speakDropbox application are all broken by the problem. MonkeyTerm and speakDropbox at least use the same code to speak as the playroom, and was also developed by quenton. Fs has explained to us how to fix it and I've gotten a couple of test builds from Quenton, none of which have solved the problem as of yet. Let's hope we get it done before jaws is actually released. It is the professional vs. home license change that broke it. The fact that the jaws window says jaws professional etc now is what is causing it to not recognize jaws. I temporarily solved the problem in speakDropbox by allowing to force speech to be sent to jaws regardless of whether it is recognized as running.

Re: [Audyssey] kerkerkruip
Hi Wayne. There are no specific guides to interactive fiction for blind/vi users, however there are several general if guides, and sinse If is inherently accessible anyway as all your doing is reading on screen text and responding, that shouldn't be a problem. In terms of software, all you need is an interpreter and the game files. Interactive fiction games are like music files and you play them in an interpreter program just like you'd use Winamp, Windows media player, itunes, Vlc player or whatever to play your music files. For what interpreter you need, that depends firstly on what format of game your looking at playing, and secondly what screen reader you have. some people find the Filfre interpreter helpful, (I don't have the address on me but there is a page for it on audiogmaes.net), which can run Zcode or Glulks format games, I personally prefer win frotz and win glulks as I said, again, all of these have audiogames.net database entries so go and check there for more information. Once you have the file and the interpreter, it's just a question of reading the text and responding with what you type into the interpreter. interactive fiction are basically interactive stories that repsond to commands in truncated sentences, so the commands are realtively easy, stuff like get sword, light lantern, directions such as north and south etc. For a general guide see http://www.microheaven.com/IFGuide/IFGuide.pl?step=6&c=0 for instance. The site is a little dated but it explains all about what interactive fiction is, and how to play it, though as I said for interpreters you probably will want to investigate some alternatives. Sorry if this is a little scatty, I am not in a very awake state at the moment due to sleeping badly last night, if you have any other questions please ask. Hth. Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] 404 not found.
Hi Ishan, Comedy is a skill. It doesn't matter how old someone is, but it does require the person have insight into what makes people laugh and what many people will find funny. Its a skill, and if a person has it people will laugh at their jokes. I suspect joking around comes naturally to Phil, and he has a lot of practice at it. He has frequently posted jokes to the list over the years, and some were funnier than others. Either way it is something he has practiced at, and has gotten a feel for what people here like and don't like in terms of humor. As to why your joke failed I can think of several reasons, but one of them is a communication issue. English isn't your native language, you don't speak it very well, so if you don't have a good grasp of the language you won't necessarily know how to use irony, puns, and other lingual nuances to make your message sound funny. Another reason it failed is certain aspects of the joke came off silly rather than funny. For instance, a 404 is an error for a page not found which has absolutely nothing in the world to do with computer games. So by making a 404 error into some sort of boss or enemy it was just lame rather than funny. There are other things that were equally lame, but the point is nobody laughed because it wasn't funny. Maybe you thought it was funny, but nobody else did. Sorry, but you might want to learn more about western humor before trying another joke Plus I might point out when it comes to comedy a lot of jokes are only funny for certain cultures. Someone might be considered to be extremely funny in his own country, go to another country, and the people there will find his jokes boring because they do not connect with it. Either that or the joke might be offensive to some people if it is about them or can be taken in an offensive way. The quickest way to kill a joke is to say something offensive which you did in your 404 joke about me, and apparently I am not the only person who felt that way.

Re: [Audyssey] interactive fiction games question
Hi Josh, Personally, I would choose Python. Any full blown programming language is better for a roll playing game than most interactive fiction languages which are designed for puzzle type play than any kind of deep sort of action oriented game with stats and skill levels. Python is simple and easy to learn and use, and combined with Pygame or Pyglet means you can have audio etc too. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] interactive fiction games question
Hi Shaun, Well, there are some good adult interactive fiction games, but I'll be the first to admit they are few and far between. I think the problem with AIF, as with most porn, is the developer is interested in getting straight to the down and dirty while skipping over developing a background story, exploration, or even having challenges. However, they aren't all that way. For example, in Camp Windy Lake you are a male camp counselor at Camp Windy Lake. Your basic goal is to go around having sex with the female counselors, but doing the down and dirty with them isn't exactly easy. Like a lot of interactive fiction games there are certain conditions that need met, you need to perform certain actions, and do certain things before any of the female counselors will have sex with you. That's only one such game, and there are certainly more. They aren't all f this and lick that as you suggest. Its just a matter of knowing where to look and of course reading AIF game reviews will help you sort out those with an actual story and action from those that are basically sexual free for alls.

That bad, eh ? My issue with roller-coasters is I am very sensitive to motion sickness. I've been that way for the last twenty years so if I am on any ride that goes to fast, takes too many curves, goes up and down, sure enough I'm going to get horribly and miserably sick for the rest of the day. Which means while I love roller-coasters, get a thrill out of riding them, the effect of getting majorly sick isn't worth the ride. As a result I end up going on kid rides like bumper cars, boat rides, train rides, or something that is gentle enough to not make me sick but give me something of an enjoyable experience.

Re: [Audyssey] 404 not found.
I'm not sure what you mean Ishen. Comedy is a skill like any other, it doesn't matter what age or gender you are. It is something that takes practice and understanding. Obviously some older people have had more practice, but that's not to say all have or all young people are bad at comedy iether. To get an idea, look at how little kids tell jokes with just toilet humour and crass stuff and expect it to just be funny because they've said poo or whatever. There is of course also an element of culture and understanding, for example if you made me a joke about some famous person in south Africa who I did not know, I obviously wouldn't get it, so the subject of the joke has to be understandable to the person your telling it to. If you want to learn more about comedy, go and look at stuff that makes you! laugh, and considder why they make you laugh, that's probably the best way to get experience and improve what your doing.

That is true Tom, however that is why i suggested they go to audiogames.net or here and dam well ask, rather than relying on tick box answers. It's been a quite common thing, someone will turn up on the forum and say "what platforms do people prefer for audiogames?" or "what kind of games are popular" and obviously everyone then fills them in, that is part of what communities are for, and will be a far better way to get information, and indeed to drumb up some interest in their project than just having a lot of tick lists.

Re: [Audyssey] Fwd: Audiogame in developing
Hi Ishan, Well, asking how many audio games a person has played isn't really a stupid question. That's basic marketing research, and as someone who has filled out several marketing surveys its a typical type of question to find out how many of their potential customers have used similar products. By doing so they will rank those with lots of experience at the top and those with little to no experience at the bottom in terms of taking their input seriously. They are more likely to listen to someone who has played 100 games than someone who has only played 10 games. As for the style or genre of game I agree. I do think they should have had an option for arcade, side-scroller, first-person shooter, text adventure, etc but it is possible that those doing the research aren't even aware those types of games are accessible, or they didn't care about determining that kind of info at this time.

Re: [Audyssey] Fwd: Audiogame in developing
It's not a matter of "terms" ishen, it's a matter of information. suppose the developers put out this form, and everyone said their favourite game was Swamp, heck even if as you suggest they had a "which genre do you like" type of question, and you filled it in and everyone put fps. Well they might then go off and create an fps game where you shoot zombies. The problem is without knowing why! people might like swamp, they are more likely to mess up. for example if they just created an fps arcade action game with zombie shooting with no multiplayer and very simple sounds, or had an fps with no mouse control, or had the game take place in a wide open arena with no walls or maps sinse they assume blind people are bad at exploring. Without knowing what things people like in games, the form really won't help much, and I don't think saying "I like swamp because of the good multiplayer" or "I like swamp because I enjoy exploring the maps and finding random loot" requires such "heavy game mechanics terms" as you put it.

Re: [Audyssey] Fwd: Audiogame in developing
Hi Dark, Obviously, I don't know much more than you at this point about their objectives, goals, or programming skills, but I did have some of the same concerns. I know firsthand that supporting more than one platform and device is pretty complicated, down right painful, for even a skilled developer so in that sense they cast their net too wide. There is no realistic way for them to support every PC, smartphone, tablet, and other devices on the market, and they probably should have stuck to the most popular ones and left Blackberry and a couple of others go. There isn't much of a market there for blind users, and the accessibility isn't all that great for the platform to bother with it. I would say even smaller than the blind Linux community. However, that is drifting away from the point. The basic point here is they have not made it known what languages, toolkits, etc they plan to use so even if they wanted to they might not be able to support certain platforms or multiple platforms anyway. No matter what language, toolkits, etc they do decide upon there is pros and cons with all of them, and there is no one-size fits all solution. I get the feeling they are casting their net pretty wide because they know very little to nothing about the audio game community, and what devices, operating systems, and technologies we use.

Re: [Audyssey] Fwd: Audiogame in developing
Hi Thomas sir! I wonder that they don't ask about what kind of games do you like such as side scroller FPS or RPG. I think they are new and don't know about some common things. another stupid question is that how many audiogames have we play?

Re: [Audyssey] Fwd: Audiogame in developing
Well when I answered the question I didn't put an actual game, I just said a percentage, since most stuff out is good and vary little not I put a round about number. I suspect this is a round about shove for someone that may have the power but has not entered the market yet. Don't judge to fast, a lot of my testing projects I do, heart of winter is one, but more importantly my university research projects and other web projects are like this. The first email is just enough to get you in, in a lot of cases the companies don't want to expose their secrets so they just put a small teaser and maybe a website telling you what they are about. After you show interest the first thing they usually do is put out a slightly longer blurb about things. After which closer to the time a lot of preamble documentation comes out about everything, forms and the like. When the work starts all documentation is reviewed to make sure you read it, once the form is signed you get most of what they want. However at least with the research I do or have done they don't want you to know till its done. Usually there is a full report which is released before a release on whatever it is. that release won't have whats in the report necessarily, but the report has everything in it you need to understand. Now any future research works the same, ofcause if you have been employed for 2-3 years or so depending on trust you may recieve a lot of stuff before and maybe even talking to the guy in charge and making suggestions. For me this is aboutt average on what I'd get for a first time pre brief. And its not that bad. Sometimes the message I get is like this. x company is doing research on y product which is z thing, and is about that and this. which will be sorted out later, you in or not. Most of the time I read the message and I can almost miss it. Because I think, what is this, aah its not enough info maybe as well as good as spam. in most cases I get an email every time I get one, I have to read the background info sometimes like this form I get a question form, which tells me enough by what is not being said then if it was said to my face. in the case of heart of winter there was a sample product. However a lot of my work at university is concept based, I ring my boss and he tells me. However, its not always the case. Sometimes I look at the info 10 times, really think hard. The worst thing I can do is not answer, however I have been doing this for about 3 years, true its not a full time job but I know the procedures enough to know that the only way to know is just send info and wait. nothing may happen or I may not get chosen but if I don't try then it doesn't happen. At 12:19 a.m. 10/10/2014, you wrote: Hi Anouke. I've filled in their form,but to be honest I'm not convinced of the way they're going about things "which game did you like the best?" how the hell do I answer tht? There are characteristics! I liked in various games. Likewise, "would you like orcs, zombies, elves etc and what setting?" Really I don't care so long as the game and mechanics are interesting. it strikes me this is a very attempting to be corporate way around things, trying to do "markit research" as opposed to just having a game idea and running with it, or discussing game ideas with the community. Sorry if this sounds too negative, I do appreciate anyone willing to have a stab at developing a game and I hope something comes of this, but really treating blind people like some sort of mice in a zoo seeing which food they like is not nice, the people say they're gamers themselves, they might as well ask all other gamers across the world what sorts of games they like! Then again, I disagree with the corporate data gathering methods for creating things anyway, myself I'd much rather see any old thing done well so long as the developer/writer/director puts their all into it than something which is just created to tick as many boxes and appeal to as many demographics as possible! This is part of what is wrong with current Doctor who, though that is another topic entirely. Myself, if I were going to send out a survey, I'd probably make it a very broad one with questions like "what sort of game mechanics interest you" and "Would would prefer more action or careful choice" , send to a few people, and then read the answers and see if it gave me ideas than a rather cold "do people want pirates, ninjas etc, and what individual title is most people's favourite so lets make a game similar to that" Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] amusement park rides we remember - Re: suggestion for park boss
Dollywood in East Tennessee built a wooden coaster in the last ten years. I think it is called Thunder Alley. Dollywood is up in some hollows in the mountains of East Tennessee and they expanded into a new hollow to build Thunder Alley. the next year they built Timber Tower which is similar to one of those swing rides but when the swings got up to the top of the post the post started pivoting. So the swings started swinging vertical and one would feel like they might hit the ground. When I heard of this I thought there would be too much that could go wrong with this ride with all the forces being put on the different parts of this ride. they had all kinds of trouble keeping it going and did shut it down and dismantled it after that year. Oh, I almost forgot they built an in the dark coaster which was to be a ride through coal mines. A couple of years ago in their water park they built a water coaster. Groups sit front to back in foam rafts and are shot up hill by the force of water then fall downhill into ponds. An old ride they have in the regular park is similar to this called the Slidewinder. they weigh a group to put into a foam raft and sit front to back. There are no seatbelts but ropes to hold on to. You start at the top of the hill and ride down a chute that zig zags down the mountain. You then go through a tunnel then down a steep hill into water to end the ride. then you have to hike back up the mountain to ride again.
