Re: [Audyssey] Dog who Hates Toast - an insane, word association game.
> Hello, was there supposed to be a > link to this E-mail? > Alfredo Well that's odd. I went on Audyssey, and I don't see the original post anymore. I don't know if it got lost, deleted, moved, or what. Oh well, I do have a copy of the original message, so I will paste it here for those of you who have no idea what this thread is even about. Hey guys, I've been busy most of the day, but now that I'm home I wanted to post another odd little idea I had while I was stuck at work. Like the Temporal game idea, I have no idea if this would be fun or just a waste of 15 minutes of your life that you can never get back. Haha, I guess I'm just warning you ahead of time. Dog who Hates Toast, is a little memory, and word association game. You are helping a crazy guy, me of course, organize his house. As Aprone tells you where to put items, he slowly goes more and more insane. Each time you complete a task, a common word is forever swapped out for some random word in Aprone's vocabulary. You'll be informed of the new word swap, but you must remember them as they start to build up. In your mind, you must work on associating his new words with the old ones, so that you can still understand him well enough to complete the next task. It really doesn't take long before Aprone is rambling off gibberish to you, and expecting you to understand him. While testing, I have managed to get about a dozen tasks complete, but I honestly have no idea how far someone can go. I am posting this, just to see people's reactions, but also I'm wanting to know how far people can get. www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/dogwhohatestoast.zip --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Dog who Hates Toast - an insane, word association game.
Version 0.3b is posted, and it changes things a bit internally. While improving the quality of the random word switching, I found a small bug that was actually the reason it sometimes swapped out words that had already been swapped out. I'm happy to say, it seems to work much better now! When you reach 10 tasks, it starts swapping 2 words, which is not news to many of you. However, I have also made it so that sometimes, after this point, it won't tell you the exact room to find your item in. For instance, it might tell you to get the alarm clock, and leave off the hint that it is in the bedroom. When you hit 30 tasks, the game will begin changing 3 words each time! I'm also pleased to inform everyone, that the game can now be won if you manage to complete 50 tasks for the crazy guy. You'll be treated with a short story letting you know how things worked out. I've also squashed the different bugs people have brought to my attention. I would recommend starting over once you download the new 0.3b version. It will probably work fine with old saved games, but I can't guarantee it, and it's probably better to be safe than sorry. While using this new version, you will have your last task saved into a file called lasttask.txt, in the game's directory. For people who want to share crazy sentences, this seemed like a convenient way to get the message out of the game. I know screen readers can save what they read into a text log, but I didn't want people to have to go through the extra steps if they didn't want to. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
