Re: Audio Game Console Sonus Interactive
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the BGT language at all, that is something I will have to look into. As for games I see it going down the flash cartridge path myself. Right now games are stored on SD cards along with all the saved game data.
As for specs the processor is around 800Mhz with 512MB of RAM, but that's just the programmable board the prototype is made on. If it goes as far as being manufactured the specs could change.
Also thank you, Sneak for your input. I would like to follow up on your post by saying that I definitely agree a choose your own adventure game is only really a game by definition. I had no idea such a community as this existed when I began development on the Sonus so it naturally started going down that route.
unfortunately making something that already exists digital isn't actually Patent-able, however I have advanced on the concept enough that an application is now in the pending process so it must be a step in the right direction for an audio game console.
If we can break down what it is about games that make them entertaining I think we would come up with a list such as:
Quick thinking and reacting to situations
Good atmosphere and amercing
Player development and goals to work to
Use of judgement skills
Challenging, such as puzzles
All of which The Sonus is capable of. If an enemy is charging at you, then you must choose to dodge, attack or block before he gets to you, and perhaps skills you have developed along the way means one will be more effective than the other.
my first ever test "game" was the player riding through a wood with bad guys jumping out of trees, the player pressing one of two buttons to shoot left or right to hit them depending on where they sounded like they where.
The use of gauged buttons allows players to judge how much power to put into a bow and arrow shot, or how long to hold their breathe wh ile hiding under water perhaps.
Any thought on this? agree? disagree? Anything I haven't considered?
