Re: [Audyssey] A SUGGESTION FOR THOM'S SIDE SCROLLER
Hi Bryan, Right. The Atari 2600 and 5200 versions of Montezuma's Revenge didn't have much in the way of music and sounds. As I recall it basically was the sound of Panama Joe jumping, getting high scores, running, getting a diamond, dying, and falling. As far as music there was just starting new level, ending level, and music like that. Bryan Peterson wrote: That sounds cool. I look forward to the time you'll be able to devote more time to it. Interestingly enouh though, I found a web site that sells classic video gmes including the old Atari, and I could have sworn I've seen Monte there a few times. I've thought about buying it but as I recall the game didn't feature much audio. I don't know about other folks but I feel the old Atari 2600 had some of the most memorable sound in video gaming history.

Re: [Audyssey] A SUGGESTION FOR THOM'S SIDE SCROLLER
Hi Aiden, I personally handpicked the private testers for this project back in January of this year. I'm currently not adding any more members to the private beta team. There will however be a public beta release once the game gets to a stable point. At that time people can test it on their platform of choice and look for bugs and possible problems involved before it goes to final release. aiden gardiner wrote: Hi thomas, Do you have a private beta program which people can register and apply for like companies sutch as FS do?

Hi Will, No, not at this point. I already have a Mac and a Linux user on the team, and I trust both to give me good feedback to work out any early issues with the cross platform versions of MOTA. However, there will be a public beta release that you can join in to do stability, bug, and other testing before the project goes live. will lomas wrote: is it possible for me to jump on board this team as a mac user? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] A SUGGESTION FOR THOM'S SIDE SCROLLER
Hi DJC, Thanks for your support. Smile. I just hope I am doing the right thing by rewriting the game engine to make it multi-platform compatible. I'm not doing it for business reasons, but for my own personal reasons. I've been using Linux more than Windows of late, and I felt it was high time that some developer begin taking Linux and Mac seriously as gaming platforms. Though, as famous author, Stephen King, once wrote in his introduction to Four Passed Midnight, Cash is a wonderful thing. However, when creativity is involved it is best not too think to much about money. it constipates the mind. I can confess that piece of advice is all too true. IfI worry too much about my customers needs, worry if what I will create will sell, etc I will worry so much over the creation that it never turns out to be much of anything. Creation is at its best when you run the show the way you want to do it, and say the heck with everyone else. If everybody loves it great. If nobody likes it at least I, the creater, am happy with the end result. djc wrote: I certainly Promise to buy your work once you are ready Tom.

Re: [Audyssey] A SUGGESTION FOR THOM'S SIDE SCROLLER
Hi Nicol, As for the name of the new side-scroller its oficial name is Mysteries of the Ancients. The private testers and I decided this would be the best title for the new side-scroller, and I have no plans of renaming the project at this point. I am personally quite satisfied with the new title. As for why I wouldn't give it a title like Tomizunta's Revenge it wouldn't be historically correct. I have never heard of a Myan, Aztec, or Incan ruler named Tomizunta. There was, however, an Aztec ruler named Montezuma, actually Moctezuma if spelled correctly, who ruled the Aztec Empire during the 1520 Spanish conquest of Northern Mexico. As for converting the potions to amulets there is three reasons I wouldn't do this in the new side-scroller. First, the original Montezuma's Revenge used amulets to give Panama Joe invincibility against monsters for a few seconds, and using them in this game would be too much like the original. Second, I have completely rewritten the story line for the game, and the amulets would not really fit the new story line very well. Third, I don't have any sound effects here I could use for the magic amulets. As for the potions themselves you will probably be seeing more of them in this new game since Angela Carter is searching for a mythical item roomered to be located in Mezoamerica. It would only make sense in this case that the ancient Mayans that ruled that part of Mezoamerica would create healing potions from it, and put them in their temples. So you will just have to wait and see.

The site is www.atariace.com, and it's fairly screen reader friendly. They sell Atari, Nintendo and Sega games, consoles and controllers. Their prices are slightly steep but it's well worth it as far as I'm concerned. I've nere yet gotten a faulty product from them, which just goes to show how much work they ut into them before they sell them.

Re: [Audyssey] A SUGGESTION FOR THOM'S SIDE SCROLLER
Hi Darren, Well, at present the entire game is 67 MB. It was larger before, but I decided to reduce the audio quality from 44100 KHZ to 22500 KHZ in order to make the game installer smaller plus it won't take up as many system resources on your computer hardware. As ffar as actual length I guess we will know when we get there. I can say it won't be one of those games you can complete in 5 minutes. I am tentatively looking at 10 to 12 levels for the first release. It has a much better combat system so you won't just hit an enemy and it will instantly die. You may have to attack a skeleton, snake, etc several times before it is dead. Instead of jumping over enemies this side-scroller is geared for out and out combat with the enemies on each level.

The private testers and I decided this would be the best title for the new side-scroller, and I have no plans of renaming the project at this point. I am personally quite satisfied with the new title. As for why I wouldn't give it a title like Tomizunta's Revenge it wouldn't be historically correct. I have never heard of a Myan, Aztec, or Incan ruler named Tomizunta. There was, however, an Aztec ruler named Montezuma, actually Moctezuma if spelled correctly, who ruled the Aztec Empire during the 1520 Spanish conquest of Northern Mexico. As for converting the potions to amulets there is three reasons I wouldn't do this in the new side-scroller. First, the original Montezuma's Revenge used amulets to give Panama Joe invincibility against monsters for a few seconds, and using them in this game would be too much like the original. Second, I have completely rewritten the story line for the game, and the amulets would not really fit the new story line very well. Third, I don't have any sound effects here I could use for the magic amulets. As for the potions themselves you will probably be seeing more of them in this new game since Angela Carter is searching for a mythical item roomered to be located in Mezoamerica. It would only make sense in this case that the ancient Mayans that ruled that part of Mezoamerica would create healing potions from it, and put them in their temples. So you will just have to wait and see.

Re: [Audyssey] A SUGGESTION FOR THOM'S SIDE SCROLLER
Yes I have written to them to find out. Not only that because our power is different to yours in terms of voltage, I'm wondering if they can compensate for that. Because I would dearly love an atari I had one years ago and stupidly sold it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bryan Peterson Sent: 06 August 2008 18:29 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] A SUGGESTION FOR THOM'S SIDE SCROLLER That I couldn't tell you.

That's what I like. Real combat.

It was larger before, but I decided to reduce the audio quality from 44100 KHZ to 22500 KHZ in order to make the game installer smaller plus it won't take up as many system resources on your computer hardware. As ffar as actual length I guess we will know when we get there. I can say it won't be one of those games you can complete in 5 minutes. I am tentatively looking at 10 to 12 levels for the first release. It has a much better combat system so you won't just hit an enemy and it will instantly die.
