Wow. You've got enough planned game to keep you busy beyond the age of 30!

I was kind of struck by something Justin said in his podcast a couple of days ago about how back in the 80's he was a huge fan of arcade games and that was the inspiration for games like Troopenum. As someone who was also sighted during that time period as well I naturally saw that quality in his games and purchased Troopenum as it was clearly like many of the games I had played growing up. However, in my own way I'm just now beginning to follow in Justin's footsteps. What I mean by that is I too was sighted, have lots of mainstream gaming experience, and I'm about to bring to the table some new content that has never been done in audio before. As Charles pointed out Mysteries of the Ancients 2d and 3d versions are in there own way as revolutionary to this community as Troopenum or Shades of Doom was 10 years ago. The inspiration, as it were, for MOTA is of course the Tomb Raider games of the late 90's. USA Raceway, when completed, will be an accessible game similar to Nascar Thunder. Hopefully it will live up to some of the other racing games out there like Rail Racer that admitedly is an excellent racing game in and of itself. Those are actually only a small collection of games I have in my todo list. I've got plenty of other ideas I have written down, but haven't mentioned publically on the list. So you are right, who knows, perhaps games like that will inspire people to create bigger and better things. I know as for myself when I started writing games like Mysteries of the Ancients I was really thinking of getting into the 3d first-person genre. I still intend to do that, but now that I've been actively following Star Wars The Old Republic from Bioware online I am getting interested in perhaps doing an RPG game like that in the future. Entombed is a great example of how it could be done, but it would be an extremely long and difficult project to create. Not sure I want to commit to something that complex and time consuming now that I have an FPS Engine I can use to crank out games fairly quickly now. However, that just gives you an idea of how one idea leads to another.

Hi Charles, UhI'm already past 30. In fact, have been past 30 for quite a while now. So your joke is lost on me. Cheers! On 5/18/11, Charles Rivard woofer...@sbcglobal.net wrote: Wow.

By using the age of 30, I was being assured of being right. I'm figuring that I was about a decade or so off. I had someone tell me yesterday that I look old for 35, and I told him, I hope so, because I just turned 57 on Saturday. --- Laughter is the best medicine, so look around, find a dose and take it to heart. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2011 7:19 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] you've got plenty - Re: the spirit of game production - Re: brings back memories - Re: Fw: BlindSoftware.comBlog Feed Hi Charles, UhI'm already past 30.

And I'll be past thirty in a little over a month. Well I suppose technically I was past thirty last year once my thirtieth birthday was over but I really will be past thirty in a little over a month.
