Wow! sounds great.

I do have one question. Will the new versions of classic games be available 
to people who already have licenses, or will they be more along the lines of 
what Esp pinball Xtreme was to esp pinball classic.


Speaking of Pinball, I deffinately hope more tables are on the way!

Finally, i was also wondering if you'd considder adding some more navigation 
options into Monkey business,  such as a surrounding objects scan and 
perhaps fine tune the object detection a bit. I really like the audio in the 
game, but there's no denying I'm pretty terrible at it (I've never actually 
got passed the jungle level), and perhaps some more navigation aides ala 
Sarah and the castle of Witchcraft and Wizardry would certainly help.


Beware the Grue!

Greetings gamers,

If you've been wondering what was happening with Draconis  Entertainment, 
it's time to lift just the corner of the veil of  secrecy for a quick 
peek.


First, if you've tried to contact us in recent weeks and not received  a 
response, or have placed an order and not yet received your  registration 
key, our web host has been having some significant  problems with our 
email servers.  We were not aware of the existence  of these problems, nor 
the extent to which they were effecting us,  until recently, as email 
would sometimes be fine, and other times get  lost in the ether.  Please 
contact us again if you're still waiting  for a response.  Chances are, 
our reply or your original message was a  casualty.  We believe that our 
web host has corrected the problem.


For quite some time, we've been developing new tools and techniques  for 
the future of accessible gaming.  The fruits of those efforts are  coming 
together at long last, and we will have new games to release in  short 
order.


What can you expect to see from Draconis Entertainment?  The following 
are some of our plans.  They are subject to change.


1.  All future game titles will be fully cross-platform for both Mac  OS X 
and Windows XP/Vista.  Versions of the games for both operating  systems 
will always be released simultaneously.


2. Our first new release will be a freebie game, available to all on  the 
web site.


3. Following the freebie game, we will be releasing both brand-new 
titles, as well as entirely rewritten versions of our classic games  which 
will take advantage of our new gaming engines and be cross- platform for 
Mac and Windows.  These releases will be staggered  between new games and 
new versions of old games.


4. New versions of old games will be substantially enhanced from  previous 
versions with tons of new features, audio, and in many cases  new modes of 
game play, or entirely new sub-games.


5. We expect new game releases to come much more quickly, now that the 
framework for the future has been designed and is well underway.  We  hope 
to avoid problems like those experienced under Vista.


More soon, and thank you for sticking with us during this time of 
transition.

Re: [Audyssey] Notes from Draconis Entertainment: Behind the Veil

2008-11-11 Thread Thomas Ward

Hi,
I for one am glad to see Draconis step up to the plate and take 
cross-platform games seriously. Mac OS X is rapidly starting to get some 
attention from the blind community, and it will be nice to know that Mac 
games are on their way.
Eventually, I also plan to do some cross platform games myself, but I 
have not been to successful at it thus far. Perhaps once Draconis 
releases there cross platform games I can get a few pointers on what all 
was involved in going full cross platform.

Smile.

I'm hard of hearing, but I do know a cheat that can allow you to stick to 
the professor on the lab level. But maybe his whistling could be improved 
or something so that people with hearing impairment can complete the level 
without using any cheats, which we shouldn't really be using anyway. Just my 
thoughts. For the cheat code, I would ask you write to mee off list unless 
you really find the lab level extremely difficult.
