Re: [Audyssey] New L-works Games Are Awesome.
I can only agree with Lulu about Super Egg hunt. It's brilliant! I haven't played GTR yet, so can't say anything about it. - Original Message - From: "Louise Keel" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 12:15 AM Subject: [Audyssey] New L-works Games Are Awesome. Hi everyone. I just thought I'd give you my thoughts on the new games from l-works. Super egg hunt has been updated, as you will have seen, and I'm loving the new version. I've heard accusations of dumbing down, as I think I've said in a previous mail, I think this is silly. There are more eggs, which means it's more difficult to here what's where, you move slower and thus the chicken, christened by one of my friends Gregory Peck, has more time to get you. In this latest version a bug has been fixed, and my scores are going up nicely accordingly! I also love the fact that the horible hip-hop music which I used to find very aggrivating on Migraine days, has now been replaced by a lovely outdoor background sound. Also the chicken has changed. Different sound, and now this is where you're going to think I'm cracked. i used to find McChicken scary, honest I did. it had a sort of malevolent sound to it, I hated the peck sound, and the way it would suddenly unfreeze and jump out at you after a clock sometimes. Now Gregory you can be annoyed with, cos in this new game, you have to do a fair bit of jinking around to collect the eggs, and moving from the straight line is what attracts his attention. He comes flapping and fussing at you, but he's more cartoony, and I much prefer the new peck sound we have now. I like the fact you can hear him moving, and that if you freeze him he still clucks, so you can hear where he is. He's still wicked fast though, you have to watch him. Ok, new GTR, as I shorten the Great Toy Robbery. First, I didn't realize I was playing anything new. I'd rather hoped to have some updated toy sounds. You find it much easier to pick the toys up though, and there are more, though not berzillions. Where the real change comes is in the elves. I used to find the old elves much easier to deal with than old chicken, and could steal stuff right out from under their stupid pogo sticks. Um, not any more I can't. They're wicked fast and lethal, and hunt in packs, or they have so far on my game. The other change is when dealing with the fat jelly belly bean bag! Now in the old game, when I heard the thunder, I'd breathe a sigh of relief. Now was the time to start poking fun at the lumbering old idiot, if I ran a certain way, he'd never get me. Um, not now. I've got stomped twice. That. never. happened. to me. Ways the games could be improved? two I can think of only. A pause feature would be good. I hate it if I'm playing a real wopper, and the phone goes, or someone messages, and I have to stop and lose a really great score. Next, I don't like the way you can still hear the music when you're not in the game window. It makes sending a quick message between games without closing stuff down like I used to, at least in S E H, impossible really, and it's not necessary, I don't think. Sorry to have gone on so long, I'll be interested to see what anyone else thinks. Thanks, Liam, for all your hard work on your terific games.

Re: [Audyssey] New L-works Games Are Awesome.
If a pause feature is added to the game one could check to see when the window loses focus and pause the game. Resume it when focus is regained. On 6/16/09, Damien C.

Re: [Audyssey] New L-works Games Are Awesome.
Hi Louise, Being a user of Streemway myself I think I can safely say that there is no way to have the sounds stop when switching windows. I must confess I was partly the cause of this removal. I suggested it to Philip, though I rather hoped he'd put both in as options, though at the moment no such option exists. Hope this helps.

Re: [Audyssey] New L-works Games Are Awesome.
With the way the new audio system works, when the window loses focus, audio isn't silenced. This was done cause there was a bug with losing and gaining focus. I forget exactly what happened, but I remember it wasn't pretty I often thought about coding a pause feature, but those are always frustrating to code. I suppose I should just bite the bullet and do it. Though I have lock pick, pigeon panic, and the other games to convert so who knows when/if that'll happen. I don't remember making any major changes to the elves. And the only thing with santa is that when he appears, you aren't moved to the top right hand corner of the grid like you used to be. Oh, and with santa. He appears in the exact center. So if you happen to pick up a toy there, and it's your last toy. and he appears on top of you? Tough luck. Tough squishy luck I suppose.
