Re: [Audyssey] Blastbay Studios - upcoming sidescroller
Hi William, I'll try and summarize my answers to your questions into one email. First, the demo and the full game are technically one and the same; you just unlock the full set of features with your key. Thus, they will both be released at the same time. Second, as there are still some minor changes being made I will not post the manual except as part of the full package release.

The program is unlockable with a name and key, which in my opinion is better than the product ID and unlock key approach. The demo will feature two levels from the game, the jungle world level 1 and the cave world level 1. That way you get to see a little more of the game than if you only had the jungle world levels 1 and 2. You are able to play on all difficulty levels in the demo as well, so you can really get a feel for how things escalate in terms of challenge.

As for pricing, I have thoughts of letting the price remain at what is now the $25 Christmas special all year round, depending on how well it sells in the month of December and what the public reactions are after the game is released. My main reason for saying this is that European customers will also be required to pay the Swedish value added tax on the purchase as I reside in Sweden, so if I were to put it at $30 it'd be quite high an amount to pay. I'll have to see how it sells and then decide. On another note, you are able to adjust the background music volume with the page up and down keys. As for it being more of a novelty thing than something that you can come back to over and over, I think there's quite a bit of replay value not only because of the random enemies, but also because of the fact that you have four different difficulty levels to choose from. So when you've beaten easy just go on to normal, and there you have another task for yourself so to speak.

also mota has more value in that one must go up ladders, ropes go back to open doors etc. although it is a different title On 11 Nov 2009, at 18:07, Scott Chesworth wrote: Going on the mp3 it does sound quite fun and fast paced. Love the sound effects that I heard, wasn't quite so blown away with the music in terms of it enhancing atmospherics but that's just a personal taste thing, that's kinda the purpose music in games serves to my mind. My only initial thought was the price point. I mean even with randomised enemies and items, this still seems like more of a novelty title, and surely isn't going to have the replay value of MOTA, which will only be a mere $5 more, $10 I guess if it's in time for Christmas. I suppose what I'm getting at is that I doubt many people will be able to afford both at this time of year, definitely include the International buyers in that bunch seeing as the Dollar is pretty strong currently. With only a name and a key required to unlock the game the sad truth is that it'll be floating about as a freebie before you know it. I'm not saying that's right and I wouldn't leach a free copy personally, just taking the realistic view.

It'll either be during this tweak week that I have ahead of me where I just add little bits and pieces, or it will be together with a whole bunch of upgrades for a 1.1 release.

Re: [Audyssey] Blastbay Studios - upcoming sidescroller
Something that seems to really be lacking in audiogames is trophy support or some sort of incentive for completing objectives in a game. would be awesome if something like that was added to this game. not to mention it would add lots of replay value. - Original Message - From: "Philip Bennefall" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 7:15 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Blastbay Studios - upcoming sidescroller Hi Dark, If you enjoyed the differences between the difficulty levels in Tj, you will not be disappointed with this. I would go as far as saying that Tj is not even comparable, not only because of the inferior sound quality but also because of the poor performance. Heck of a difference between Java Script and C++... As for different endings depending on difficulty levels, that's a good idea; i'll go record some. I'll make it so that you get a cheat code file when you beat the game, however you are able to use the cheat codes if you know them before having completed the game; at least that's the case at this time. After the first version is released I'll listen a great deal to customer feedback and make changes accordingly for a 1.1 upgrade which, I should mention, will be free for all registered users.

Then again, unlike either tj or superliam, this does feature random appearing enemies and items. Whether this will be enough to keep the game fresh isn't something anyone can say before the game is released. I will say though, that one thing which impressed me in Tj was the differences in the difficulty modes. I finished easy on the first day I bought the game, - normal took me far longer (and more slingshot use), and there are bits of hard I've never completed yet. Therefore, I'll reserve judgement on the game length until I've got an idea of this. To philip, one question. Are there any unlockables, extra endings or other content to play for in the game? Do you for instance get better endings with finishing each diffficu8lty? Sinse the game's audio seems to be very high quality, I'd be pleased if this was offered as a reward to players for completing harder challenges in the game. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Blastbay Studios - upcoming sidescroller
Hmmm, Philip, you obviously have nicer neighbors than mine, they complain at me maliciously walking! around my flat! oh the horror! anyway, I'll look forward to seeing what weerdness you can come up with. There are alsorts of possible tasks, kkilling a certain number of enemies of a given type, being too fast or too slow, using a particular weapon all the time, or significantly etc. This could also have people playing the game in a different style to earn rewards, such as doing everything close range to get a club specific ending, which is always good. I'll be interested to see what ends up in the game. Beware the greu!

Re: [Audyssey] Blastbay Studios - upcoming sidescroller
Hi Dark, If you enjoyed the differences between the difficulty levels in Tj, you will not be disappointed with this. I would go as far as saying that Tj is not even comparable, not only because of the inferior sound quality but also because of the poor performance. Heck of a difference between Java Script and C++... As for different endings depending on difficulty levels, that's a good idea; i'll go record some. I'll make it so that you get a cheat code file when you beat the game, however you are able to use the cheat codes if you know them before having completed the game; at least that's the case at this time. After the first version is released I'll listen a great deal to customer feedback and make changes accordingly for a 1.1 upgrade which, I should mention, will be free for all registered users.

Love the sound effects that I heard, wasn't quite so blown away with the music in terms of it enhancing atmospherics but that's just a personal taste thing, that's kinda the purpose music in games serves to my mind. My only initial thought was the price point. I mean even with randomised enemies and items, this still seems like more of a novelty title, and surely isn't going to have the replay value of MOTA, which will only be a mere $5 more, $10 I guess if it's in time for Christmas. I suppose what I'm getting at is that I doubt many people will be able to afford both at this time of year, definitely include the International buyers in that bunch seeing as the Dollar is pretty strong currently. With only a name and a key required to unlock the game the sad truth is that it'll be floating about as a freebie before you know it. I'm not saying that's right and I wouldn't leach a free copy personally, just taking the realistic view. Of course, it's not my place in the slightest to advise you how to set your prices Philip, just musing outloud in case it gives you or anyone else planning to release anything this close to Christmas food for thought.

Re: [Audyssey] Blastbay Studios - upcoming sidescroller
curious: is there much difference between this game and something like Super Liam? I was definitely hoping for some vertical movement. I also hope it's worth the purchase price since it is a bit steep, and the game at least from the demo sounds quite simple and like something I could beat in a couple hours. reminds me of tarzan junior with better sound effects and movements. This is only my opinion though. - Original Message - From: "Philip Bennefall" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 8:35 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Blastbay Studios - upcoming sidescroller Hi Dark, Yes, unfortunately at this time there is no virtical navigation; just the jumping up and the sideways movement.

Re: [Audyssey] Blastbay Studios - upcoming sidescroller
Going on the mp3 it does sound quite fun and fast paced. Love the sound effects that I heard, wasn't quite so blown away with the music in terms of it enhancing atmospherics but that's just a personal taste thing, that's kinda the purpose music in games serves to my mind. My only initial thought was the price point. I mean even with randomised enemies and items, this still seems like more of a novelty title, and surely isn't going to have the replay value of MOTA, which will only be a mere $5 more, $10 I guess if it's in time for Christmas. I suppose what I'm getting at is that I doubt many people will be able to afford both at this time of year, definitely include the International buyers in that bunch seeing as the Dollar is pretty strong currently. With only a name and a key required to unlock the game the sad truth is that it'll be floating about as a freebie before you know it. I'm not saying that's right and I wouldn't leach a free copy personally, just taking the realistic view. Of course, it's not my place in the slightest to advise you how to set your prices Philip, just musing outloud in case it gives you or anyone else planning to release anything this close to Christmas food for thought. Cheers, looking forward to the playable demo. Scott On 11/11/09, peter Mahach wrote: > on the note of weapons is the club and sling the only weapons available to > you? aren't there guns or such?

At this time there are no other enemies that have special properties like that, however they are different in their characteristics and so require a fair amount of strategy; especially when grouped together with others. The bears, for example, are very strong and take a lot of damage per hit but are incredibly slow. This means that your best bet is to fire at them from a distance if you can and not get them too close to you, especially if the bear is not alone.

hi all i like MOTA better since it is more of an exploratory side scroller but this game does still ahve its rightful place for those who want a game like superliam where oen only needs to be concerned with left and right plus jump On 11 Nov 2009, at 13:30, dark wrote: Hi. Glad to here there will be cutscenes, also about the bonuses etc. I'm a litle sorry the game doesn't have any vertical elements, jumping on different ledges to explore larger levels, climbing ropes or ladders etc. Stil, it's a while sinse we've seen an interesting arcade style release, and this should certainly be good for those who would like to play an arcade side scroller.

The sounds are great, and I like the idea of jumping attacks and combos on the various enemies. I also am amused by the intro scene, I hope there are similar intermissions throughout the game. Just one question. Is the game all left/right scrolling on one level? I did notice jumping of pits and significant attacks from all sides, - but actual progress through the levels all seemed streight left/right in arcade style similar to Superliam. Beware the Grue!

The game contains four worlds with three levels in each, a few bonus rounds as well as a grand finale which is an intense boss battle.

I intend to release this game in about a week, and thought I'd post a little sneak preview for you to enjoy. The game contains four worlds with three levels in each, a few bonus rounds as well as a grand finale which is an intense boss battle. All the enemies are dynamic so there's lots of replay value there, and you also have four difficulty levels to choose from ranging from easy to insane.

Hi, I just now saw this thread and haven't gotten up to the top yet. Whats your website address? This sounds interesting. I know you used to be pb-soundscape but that site changed. Munawar A. Bijani "Knowledge is of two types: absorbed and heard.

Then there are the bonus rounds that sometimes come your way, they allow you to pick up a lot of extra goods that will come in handy; especially in the later parts of the game. Then of course there is the boss, he takes a while to master and he'll probably shave off a few of your lives especially on the harder difficulties. I have not actually measured how long it takes to beat the game, I know people who attempted it for days and I also know people who did it in a matter of hours. However the fact that you have the four difficulty levels to choose from, that should keep those who think that easy is a joke still interested. And as I mentioned previously as well the enemies are completely random, so that adds a level of surprise each time you play.

Obviously a world isn't a singular level because as you said there are 4 worlds to the game. I'm guessing that each world is divided into levels? So how big are we talking about? Is this game going to be over in a couple hours lets say or is it really going to take time to complete. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Philip Bennefall Sent: 11 November 2009 13:02 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Blastbay Studios - upcoming sidescroller Hi Michael, There are certainly bonus items, however they are completely randomized and it so happened that none fell in that particular game round. The actual recording that I made when creating this trailer is a lot longer and there were items falling there, but I had to edit it down as to not make it too large and unmanageable. There are also a few bonus levels throughout the game that feature tons of bonus items, so there are plenty to be found.

Re: [Audyssey] Blastbay Studios - upcoming sidescroller
Hi Darren, There are three levels in each world, and the levels get longer as well as more intense as you go which is to be expected. Then there are the bonus rounds that sometimes come your way, they allow you to pick up a lot of extra goods that will come in handy; especially in the later parts of the game. Then of course there is the boss, he takes a while to master and he'll probably shave off a few of your lives especially on the harder difficulties. I have not actually measured how long it takes to beat the game, I know people who attempted it for days and I also know people who did it in a matter of hours. However the fact that you have the four difficulty levels to choose from, that should keep those who think that easy is a joke still interested. And as I mentioned previously as well the enemies are completely random, so that adds a level of surprise each time you play.

Re: [Audyssey] Blastbay Studios - upcoming sidescroller
Hi Ryan, Thank you, I'm glad you like the demo. At this time there are no other enemies that have special properties like that, however they are different in their characteristics and so require a fair amount of strategy; especially when grouped together with others. The bears, for example, are very strong and take a lot of damage per hit but are incredibly slow. This means that your best bet is to fire at them from a distance if you can and not get them too close to you, especially if the bear is not alone. Then of course there is the boss, he's not particularly pretty either.

From the demo content, this looks like it's going to be your best offering so far. I really like how you have to jump to hit the bats in the cave. Are there any other enemies that require you to do something special like that? Things that perhaps hide in shells, shoot and force you to duck, etc.? Looking forward to this one immensely.

Re: [Audyssey] Blastbay Studios - upcoming sidescroller
Hi Shaun, No, it'll sell for 30 USD. However, until early January there will be a Christmas special of 25 USD instead. These figures, by the way, are roughly equivalent to 20 and 15 GBP.

All the enemies are dynamic so there's lots of replay value there, and you also have four difficulty levels to choose from ranging from easy to insane. This recording demonstrates a few levels from the game, from the simple to the more advanced ones.
