[Audyssey] Question about BG games produced by Ian Humphreys.
Hi all! Does anyone know if Ian Humphreys is planning to begin offering his games for download? I had him send me BG yahtzee when I had a different email provider, and I loved it, but GMail has always been funny about attachments, and it would really be faster if I could download them from somewhere. I'd love to check out more of his games. Thanks!

Hi Allison, Not to my knowledge. I am not sure why Ian doesn't want to put his games up for download, but he likes delivering them via e-mail for reasons of his own. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] Question about BG games produced by Ian Humphreys.
He himself prefers to chat to and know the people who play his games, which is why he's keen on them not being downloaded. On the other hand, if your having attachment trouble it's probably worth your while talkint to him and perhaps some other alternative could be found, such as putting them temporarily on sendspace for you to try them.

Re: [Audyssey] Question about BG games produced by Ian Humphreys.
I think he wants a personal touch on who has the games, ie he knows who has them etc. It also probably does reduce the cost of hosting the games. I am not into this but it must cost devs here some cash for each mb downloaded. Therefore if the games are small enough it makes sence not to bother with downloads. He seems to be doing this is a hobby and seems to have the time to send things. My only regret is there is not a single link to get an installer to load all his games at once. However some of his games use 16 bit installers the others don't. At 12:54 p.m. 16/12/2008, you wrote: Hi Allison, Not to my knowledge.

Re: [Audyssey] Question about BG games produced by Ian Humphreys.
Hi, Quote It also probably does reduce the cost of hosting the games. I am not into this but it must cost devs here some cash for each mb downloaded. Therefore if the games are small enough it makes sence not to bother with downloads. End quote yes, that is true. Most web hosting companies charges a certain amount for the amount of bandwidth you use. As a result if you have a lot of e-mail, software downloads, unusually high number of people visiting your web site, etc that all adds up and takes away from your bandwidth alotment. For example, USA Games has a commercial web hosting plan that gives us quite a bit of bandwidth. I believe it is a 4 GB bandwidth alotment per month. Everytime someone visits the USA Games web site, downloads a file, or sends me e-mail via one of my USA Games mailing addresses it takes a few points off of my bandwith alotment. If I should go over 4 GB a month I would then end up owing extra money that month to pay for the extra bandwidth used. Ian doesn't strike me as the type who would want to pay for commercial grade web hosting plans, and also wouldn't like getting a bill at the end of the month if someone happened to exceed his bandwidth alotment. So this would be a very good reason why he might not want to offer downloads. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] Question about BG games produced by Ian Humphreys.
Well that and card games have never been my thing. I tend to lose interest rather rapidly. Growing up my folks could rarely if ever get me to sit down to a game of cards for more than a few minutes. In fact my preferred genre of games has been pretty much ignored by most devs until recently. Ever since I discovered audio gaming four years ago I've been hoping for a true audio role-playing game in the style of Final Fantasy or even Legend of Zelda. Entombed, the flagship title from Driftwood Games, is the closest thing I've seen to what I'm looking for. Of course what with it being in its Alpha stage at the moment it's hardly surprising the demo is A. incomplete and B. more than a little buggy. But it's got some serious potential even just from looking at the current demo. - Original Message - From: Allison Mervis alliso...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, December 15, 2008 6:26 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Question about BG games produced by Ian Humphreys.

Re: [Audyssey] Question about BG games produced by Ian Humphreys.
Yeah, once they work out the balance issues with combat. Right at the moment if you get into a fight with more than one enemy or sometimes even just one it's almost guaranteed you're going to get your arse handed to you on a paper plate, especially since you can't heal in combat. And no, F12 apparently doesn't do that anymore. There needs to be a way of telling how many hit points you have left rather than it just sayig you get mangled or whateer. That's all well and good for atmosphere but there still needs to be a way of reading status info. - Original Message - From: Allison Mervis alliso...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, December 15, 2008 6:52 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Question about BG games produced by Ian Humphreys.

Re: [Audyssey] Question about BG games produced by Ian Humphreys.
the only download he has on his site is the mssapi stuff and I think only because that was a necessary requirement. I don't think by choice he whould have it. I would recomend not trying to use his site for the download as you can get this on bpc or other places. At 01:55 p.m. 16/12/2008, you wrote: Hi, Quote It also probably does reduce the cost of hosting the games. I am not into this but it must cost devs here some cash for each mb downloaded. Therefore if the games are small enough it makes sence not to bother with downloads. End quote yes, that is true. Most web hosting companies charges a certain amount for the amount of bandwidth you use. As a result if you have a lot of e-mail, software downloads, unusually high number of people visiting your web site, etc that all adds up and takes away from your bandwidth alotment. For example, USA Games has a commercial web hosting plan that gives us quite a bit of bandwidth. I believe it is a 4 GB bandwidth alotment per month. Everytime someone visits the USA Games web site, downloads a file, or sends me e-mail via one of my USA Games mailing addresses it takes a few points off of my bandwith alotment. If I should go over 4 GB a month I would then end up owing extra money that month to pay for the extra bandwidth used. Ian doesn't strike me as the type who would want to pay for commercial grade web hosting plans, and also wouldn't like getting a bill at the end of the month if someone happened to exceed his bandwidth alotment. So this would be a very good reason why he might not want to offer downloads. Smile.

He seems to be doing this is a hobby and seems to have the time to send things. My only regret is there is not a single link to get an installer to load all his games at once. However some of his games use 16 bit installers the others don't. At 12:54 p.m. 16/12/2008, you wrote: Hi Allison, Not to my knowledge.
