Re: [Audyssey] Q9 upcoming change log
Something about a never-ending mode where enemies kept coming at you and you fought them off until you just couldn't survive anymore. A lot of old Atari and Arcade games were like that.

Re: [Audyssey] Q9 upcoming change log
dark pisze: well I will confess that if the run key was changed to shift it would mean Hal users don't need to turn hotkeys off, just the voice, sinse the default shortcut to open the control panel in Hal is ctrl space. Then again, turning the hot keys off isn't such a big deal, I have to do it in several games currently anyway, especially on my laptop sinse Hal needs the F keys there. Oh, and to anticipate questions, no, you don't have to exit the Hal program to stop it from interfering with keystrokes and things the way you do Jaws when running games, sinse so long as you don't need any of the key combinations Hal uses it's not a problem, though it's always a good idea to flick the voice off to prevent being interupted with random chatter (I do this often when listening to music or watching dvds on my computer. So while not essential, shift for run would be appreciated if it was added. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Q9 upcoming change log
Hi Phil, That's a pretty good idea, but I know as well as Philip adding some kind of key mapping feature might be somewhat difficult to add at this point. I've thought about doing that for MOTA, but there is more work involved than I want to do at this late date. I'm almost certain Philip would feel the same way. Phil Vlasak wrote: Hi Phillip.

Re: [Audyssey] Q9 upcoming change log
Hi Philip, Yeah, I understand. Though I thought I'd toss that out there as something to think about for a future upgrade. Too bad there wasn't any kind of public beta or something we could have tried before the game went on sale as some of these issues might have come up before 1.0 came out. I've just finished reading some of the other rresponses out here and there were quite a few gamers that like the idea of the shift+arrow key combo for running. So I'm not alone in that feature request. it is just too bad none of us had a chanse to suggest this before you sold those 45 copies, but I understand your reasons for not wanting to change it now.

Re: [Audyssey] Q9 upcoming change log
I actually like jumping with the up arrow as opposed to the control key. I know there was some discussion about how to jump, and some said that the only way they could jump across the pits was to hold down the up arrow key and then tap right arrow. I just played q9 again before writing this message, and I can say that I have never pressed and held up arrow to jump. I just tap up arrow and then hit the right arrow a few times while in the air. I just tried practicing doing the same jump with control, and although it is just a pinky tap away, I just like having the movement controls, other than running of course, controlled by one hand. Yeah I know you could hit the right control key as well, but I just don't see why. Whatever Philip decides, I will continue to support the game, having purchased it a few days ago. This was just my 1.3 cents.

A suggestion that I would make is to change the keyboard combination to run from control left or right arrow to shift left or right arrow.

Re: [Audyssey] Q9 upcoming change log
well I will confess that if the run key was changed to shift it would mean Hal users don't need to turn hotkeys off, just the voice, sinse the default shortcut to open the control panel in Hal is ctrl space. Then again, turning the hot keys off isn't such a big deal, I have to do it in several games currently anyway, especially on my laptop sinse Hal needs the F keys there. Oh, and to anticipate questions, no, you don't have to exit the Hal program to stop it from interfering with keystrokes and things the way you do Jaws when running games, sinse so long as you don't need any of the key combinations Hal uses it's not a problem, though it's always a good idea to flick the voice off to prevent being interupted with random chatter (I do this often when listening to music or watching dvds on my computer. So while not essential, shift for run would be appreciated if it was added. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Q9 upcoming change log
Hi Philip, Finally had a chance to try your q9 game out and I like it. In the beginning I would like to hear q9 crashing to earth and the space ship carried away. The only other thing is, "H" key - Tells you how much strength you have remaining. Shouldn't it be, "H" key - Tells you how much health you have remaining?
