Hi Dark,

Oh, you mean the little cutscene that starts level 1. Yeah, that was 
difficult to hear. I had to turn off the music and even then the speech 
wasn't clear. I had to actually locate the ogg file and listen to it 
without the background music and ambiance to figure out what it was saying.

nope, the speech was in English, since I did it at school I'd 
recognize spanish,  though probably can't remember enough to play 
a game in it :D.


The voices in the game, menues etc were fine, I just meant what sound 
like voices chattering when you start the game itself, rather than the 
fighting practice mode.


Beware the Grue!

Dark.

Actually, I just now gave my vote for the spaceship game, since I think it's
the best one in another 2 games.

I agree completely tom.

All the comp entries will receive audiogames.net pages, but it'll be a 
alittle hard to do that for the spaceship game as is since I've been having 
just the same problems myself.


some design updates to the game, to just make things a little more 
comprehensible would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
First, Don't start in the fighting practice area. Start with the regular 
game. The fighting practice should probably have been named survival mode, 
or something similar. The regular game itself actually does a good job of 
explaining what is going on and the descriptions of enemies are given as 
they're introduced. Secondly, turn off the music. There is a static sound 
near the center of each level which seems to be just an ambiance noise. 
Everything else in the enemies. Basically, use the arrow keys to move 
around in the area, the page up and page down keys do not work for me, and 
either get a line of sight to the enemy, which can be determined both by 
the stereo position and by the look feature, and use the control plus 
directional to fire at the enemy, or get as close as you can, drop a mine, 
and run.

HTH,
Karl

I've been trying to give Spaceship a chance, but I am continually

However, you did answer one of the problems I was having. I was running
it on a laptop, which unfortunately didn't have a numpad, so page up and
page down weren't working. I wish Claudio would have thought of problems
like this before releasing Spaceship as that is a pretty common issue. A
lot of blind gamers have laptops, netbooks, etc and assuming the target
system has a full sized keyboard is a big mistake.


Anyway, I haven't voted yet because I am trying to keep an open mind
about the game, see if I can get into it, and hope Claudio releases a
patch to fix some of these issues like the page up or page down keys. In
the mean time I plan to play with it over the Easter holidays. I'll
probably turn in my ratings early next week once I have had time to get
use to the game.

page down weren't working. I wish Claudio would have thought of problems 
like this before releasing Spaceship as that is a pretty common issue. A 
lot of blind gamers have laptops, netbooks, etc and assuming the target 
system has a full sized keyboard is a big mistake.



Anyway, I haven't voted yet because I am trying to keep an open mind 
about the game, see if I can get into it, and hope Claudio releases a 
patch to fix some of these issues like the page up or page down keys. In 
the mean time I plan to play with it over the Easter holidays. I'll 
probably turn in my ratings early next week once I have had time to get 
use to the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Playing the Spaceship Game

2012-04-05 Thread Thomas Ward


Hi Karl,

Well, I did start with the actual game instead of the Fighting Practice 
Mode, and I can't even get out of the first area. I try and look for a 
door, hatch, or something with look mode and nothing. All it says is 
wall, wall, wall, wall, etc.


I've also turned off the music which helps some, but since I don't know 
what each sound means in context that still doesn't help. What I'd like 
here is a description of each sound and what they are suppose to be.


In Fighting Practice Mode I can't seem to hit anything. I use the look 
keys just like you said and all it says if there is a wall in x feet. 
The q key tells me there is like 3 worms, a snake, and a cat nearby, but 
when I press shift+left, shift+right, shift+up, or shift+down wall, 
wall, wall, etc. No enemies. I just don't get it.


Also the page up and page down keys on my laptop don't work. I press 
them and it does absolutely nothing. Maybe a bug here?


Cheers!

The fighting practice should probably have been named survival mode, or

explaining what is going on and the descriptions of enemies are given as 
they're introduced. Secondly, turn off the music. There is a static sound near 
the center of each level which seems to be just an ambiance noise. Everything 
else in the enemies. Basically, use the arrow keys to move around in the area, 
the page up and page down keys do not work for me, and either get a line of 
sight to the enemy, which can be determined both by the stereo position and by 
the look feature, and use the control plus directional to fire at the enemy, or 
get as close as you can, drop a mine, and run.

However, I like the concept of the game and don't want to rate it poorly until I've got

[Audyssey] Playing the Spaceship Game

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone here has managed to make any headway with the 
spaceship game. I've been trying to figure this out on and off all day 
and I'm afraid I just don't get it. I can't seem to attack and shoot any 
alien creatures. Plus the total lack of a "Learn Sounds" menu has left 
me guessing what sound is suppose to be what. However, I like the 
concept of the game and don't want to rate it poorly until I've got the 
hang of it. Any ideas of how to figure this thing out?
