Re: [Audyssey] When you're taking a break from TDV...
Actually reminds me of an old amigar public domain game called war, which was pretty awsome. Basically it was a turn based space stratogy game where you conquered planets, developed your spaceships, managed your resources etc. However, the fun bit was that all battles were real time shooter type space battles where either you or the computer controlled your ships. The more developement you'd put into your ship building, the faster they flew and the more powerful their shots were. The reason though this made me think of screen readers was that the game used the Amigar work bench synth voice to do announcements. Baring in mind this was the early 90s, the voice was pretty dire, but that was half of the fun, especially sinse the programmers obviously had a sense of humour. Hereing an ultra robotic synth say things like The vaygan fleet has been destroyed, ha ha ha or the vaygan fleet has been destroyed, I am so sad I think I wil commit suicide or I think your joystick is made of con crte Was half of the fun of the game, ;D. Btw, war would make a pretty cool audio game actually, not the least because you could have an equally bad synth announcement ;D. Beware the Grue!

Hey Jacob, The article is now live, but I love your addition. I might add it in an update. It shows how creative text can be within a game! Thanks! Cheers, Neophyte. Had a look at it, and all seems pretty good. One thing will mention, which most likely isn't too relevant, but relates to general synthesizer pronunciation, but which will also differ from synth to synth is that while in one word, making use of initial caps does help sometimes, so that while the following string wouldn't sound too good: Iwouldliketohearthispronouncedabitbetter, the following version sounds fine: IWouldLikeToHearThisPronouncedAbitBetter, and another one is that some things just come out sounding quite funny/interesting: hahahahahahahahahaha vrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhroomvrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhroom step on a rattle stststststststststststststststststststsnake etc. etc. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] When you're taking a break from TDV...
Hey Thomas, Thanks. Hmmm... those typo errors surprise me. It may have happened when I cut and pasted the text into a word document and some weird spelling correction happened. I'll check through it all again tonight. If you have specific errors you can pinpoint for me, let me know. I'll do an update and fix them. Cheers again. Neo. Hi Drew, I just finished reading your article. Over all, it was pretty good. However, I might like to point out I did find a few typos in the rtf document. For example, you spelled Audyssey as Audessee which isn' correct. I noticed a few other miner typos in the text as well including a few of my own comments.

Re: [Audyssey] When you're taking a break from TDV...
Cool. These funny strings are just some of the tricks that only screenreader users might realise are there sometimes, and have also occasionally sent the synth'ed sound clips to some sighted friends to help them understand why some of their common sayings/comments are even funnier to me...smile Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' - Original Message - From: neoph...@inthecompanyofgrues.com To: gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, November 18, 2010 11:44 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] When you're taking a break from TDV...

[Audyssey] When you're taking a break from TDV...
Hi all, I know TDV has been burning up the email list of late, but if you're needing a break from all that high altitude action then I'd love to get some feedback on the interactive fiction document I posted about a couple of days ago. If you missed it, the link to the document is: http://www.inthecompanyofgrues.com/interactivefiction/ifvia.rtf A number of other people involved are starting to send back their requested changes and new ideas, and I'm hoping to finish it off and get it posted within the next 24 to 48 hours, so any feedback within that time frame would be awesome. Either post to the list, or hit me up directly via my email address. Thanks a bunch.
