Re: Code Dungeon - A FREE hack & slash dungeon crawler
Re: Code Dungeon - A FREE hack & slash dungeon crawler Don't think I posted here yet, but congrats on an awesome game. Even though it's short as it is I don't think I've seen more immersive audio in a game, the way you can hear the room acoustics changing based on where the walls are is simply amazing.We recently Streamed this game with a friend who managed to be so fast at playing it he just might have accidentally found a way to go out of bounds... But don't pay attention to that bit. ;-)I'm really excited to hear you're working on something new. I can't wait to see the results!

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game The way I understood the idea of dividing the track wasn't so much that you only had 3 positions you could be in, and more like something like the rumble strips on a highway that divide it into lanes. So you'd hear them if you moved your ship over them but your movement would still be unrestricted. I think that's a really good idea. If you had something else in mind then I guess this is an alternative feature request Edit: I'd love to see you make a shooter. If it had a lot of different enemies that all act slightly differently and powerups to make the game interesting, I'd be all over it and I think you could make something that sounds really cool with your engine.

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game OK, after playing the game for a bit more I think it might be good to have a slider for the music volume, or at least the kick/snare part of it. If you're playing in a quiet environment, you can hear it all right but I was playing the game in the middle of voice chatting with a friend who had a lot of background noise, which though normally wasn't really a problem was obscuring the music. Another friend told me that while he could hear the music when it was centered he had more trouble localising his position if it went to the sides.

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game This game is really cool, especially after this update. I'm really digging the sound design here, I love how you really get a sense of speed even though the audio is very much retro enspired. Making the cars make the wobbling sounds as a form of collision warning is brilliant, it really fits the atmosphere while being really useful and far less obvious than a beep or something.Yeah, the music pans around to show where you are on the screen. I didn't notice it at first but once I did picking up the shields became much easier.

Re: InSpire, a mod to make SlayTheSpire Accessible... again!
Re: InSpire, a mod to make SlayTheSpire Accessible... again! Basically, the difference between the 2 in simple terms is that Text The Spire hooks into the game information to give you an alternative interface to play, while the ultimate goal of Inspire is to essentially be a screen reader for the actual game interface so you'll be playing by being able to navigate through and press every button or card like a sighted person would, which would also include any additional buttons that third party mods might add to the screen. But making a screen reader for a game, especially when you have to figure out and patch the code yourself without being able to see it, takes a lot of time so it's probably still going to be a very long while before this gets to the level of playability that TextTheSpire is giving us right now (this is first hand information from talking to Robjoy over IM as he spent hours figuring out how the game draws the user interface and just how horribly the code is designed making implementing propper accessibility extremely time consuming). hence the focus on the inaccessible interface sections first and the mad respect and gratitude to Wensber for actually letting us discover, and very easily play this game.

Re: Blind Quest: The Enchanted Castle is available now!
Re: Blind Quest: The Enchanted Castle is available now! Hi Max,I have also tried to request the update but had no luck, the system claims my E-mail wasn't found.I beat the game yesterday while streaming it.. The stream is quite long, playing through the game took about 4 hours. Skimming through the thread here I see that most things have already been mentioned(battles really need more sounds and variables, the pauses shouldn't be so long and you should be able to interrupt the speech while tabbing through items). Halfway through the game I randomly decided to try applying a Cheat Engine speedhack to see if I could speed up the navigation any, and let me tell you tabbing through items and going through battles is so much more responsive at 5X speed even if the speech interrupts itself.On the topic of speech, something else I noticed while playing is that if you're blind you end up missing out on a lot of information. I decided to OCR the game to see if there was any visuals I could put on the stream, and I found that the game displays your exact health, the exact amounts of HP damage you and your enemies cause, how much XP you get, the quantity of items on the inventory screen, and how much XP you need to level up on the main map. The recorded narrator either makes a lot of this information vague (like how the HP report goes from 100% to >75% and so on) or misses it completely (there's no way to see how much XP you need to level up) or exactly how many potions you have.If you couldn't afford to record more VoiceOvers for this info, just get the Unity screen reader plugin and use it for the battle screen and navigation and leave the prerecorded VoiceOvers for area descriptions and other dialog. Most blind people will thank youfor it and if someone is sighted, you're putting the text there anyway so they can read it. If the reason was something else, like someone thinking this information isn't important, I think that for a turn-based RPG it really is. I would say that RPG's like this are 50% about the story and the other 50% about the numbers which can help you gage how well you're doing, particularly if you add things like equipment down the road.I really hope you build on this concept. You have a lot of potential here for a good RPG and the story, although a bit cliche, is already there to support such a game. If you need any help with testing or more feedback I'd be happy to help, RPG's are one of my most favorite genres so I'd definitely love to see more of them!

Re: Dreamland-official version
Re: Dreamland-official version For anyone needing help with gestures, on the log-in screen, keep swiping to the right until you get the help button and double-tap, then double-tap on game manipulation. All of the gestures will be listed here, and you can also refer to these in-game by swiping down with 2-fingers at the top and finding the help button.I haven't played too extensively on iOS yet, but the basic idea for the gestures is that the screen is split in 2 halves. The top half is used to operate the interface. Doing 1 and 2 finger swipes here lets you do things like looking for and locking on-to targets, navigating to quests, and reading and sending chats, and checking things like your health. Doing a 2-finger swipe down here will open the same menu as you get by pressing arrow keys on Windows, which is how you can upgrade skills, do inventory management, configure the game and access the help files.The bottom half is used for actual gameplay. Tapping the screen does your basic attack. Tapping and holding, then dragging in various directions lets you move. 1-finger swipes activate the 4 skills in your skill slots, like the k, l, u, i and o keys on Windows. 2-finger swipes activate your inventory slots. There's also some 2-part android style gestures that let you get on and off your mount and/or aircraft. It all sounds really confusing, but I think it's a UI that will probably feel quite intuitive once you get used to it.Regarding the translation, it's actually pretty complete. The voiced story dialogs aren't translated, but NPC's, quest names and objectives, shop menus, as well as help and system messages are all in english. As I said a few posts back the main issue is that the game is stuck using a chinese voice for the moment which can speak English but with a very pronounced accent and reading numbers in Chinese.

Re: Dreamland-official version
Re: Dreamland-official version For anyone curious, I can confirm the latest public beta of iOS 13 does fix the sound issue both in this game and a few other unity based ones.The main issue right now is the voice, as the voices menu only lists the Chinese voices. THankfully, they speak English so you can still play the game, but any numeric data will be spoken with Chinese numbers.

Re: ArtilEcho a new artillery game prototype Yeah, the game was really good. The timing of the test could have been a bit better so more people could have played it.

For people that haven't managed to play, imagine shell shock but instead of just having to deal with wind, in additional to setting the angle and power of your shot you have choice of different weapons, you can move yourself around the map and the terrain has different heights and the shots people make cause it to deform.I filled out the questionaire and one of the suggestions I made is that the server also be made publically available.

Re: TramSim: A new simulation game
Re: TramSim: A new simulation game For those who are having trouble downloading the game, you can get the whole folder zipped. When the page loads, start to shift+tab until you eventually find the "download" option and press it. If you highlight a single file or folder in the list further down the page it'll only download that selected file. But if nothing is selected, which is how the page starts out, pressing download will give you a zip with everything.I tried TramSim yesterday and I must say the game has tons of potential. It looks like you're doing a lot of things right as there are stations you can stop at, traffic lights, speed limits and you are scored by how well you're doing, and the sounds are quite realistic. However, there are some things that would make the experience even better.Firstly, the controls. The keys and logic make sense, but I find it a bit hard to control my speed. You can press the D and A keys as many times as you want, and so it's really easy to overdo it and have to quickly go in the other direction. This is made worse by the fact that every time you press one of those keys, the game pauses while it plays the click sound. I thhink the accelerator/decelerator should be limited, so you could have 3 or 4 clicks in each direction to accelerate and decelerate, plus the neutral setting.For aproaching stations, I think there needs to be more warning, like in TubeSim or dreamy train. Announce the distance to a station starting at 300 meters to give people time to start stopping. Same thing for traffic lights. You don't have to say how much time will pass until a red light turns green, but making an announcement there's a red/yellow/green light a few hundred meters before you get there would help, and if you hear there's a yellow light you'd know you might not be able to drive through it. You might not even need to use speech for this actually. Because the game is set on the street, you could just take actual sounds of traffic lights and have them get louder as you approach.I can't wait to see where this thing goes. I love simulations!

Re: New Text-based Roguelike For IOS and Android: Path Of Adventure
Re: New Text-based Roguelike For IOS and Android: Path Of Adventure Regarding headings, heading level does make a difference, but not as much on a phone with a touch screen.On both a computer and iOS and Android, screen readers have keyboard commands to move to the next and previous heading level, usually it's pressing 1 through 6 or Shift+1 through 6. They also have a key to go to next ore previous heading of any level (H and Shift+H). On touch screens you have gestures that let you quickly move through certain elements, but because a touch screen has a more limited set of things you can do you'll generally just get options to move to Any Heading, Any landmark or Any form control rather than specific types of landmark or heading level.So, marking up groups of items with a level 1 heading, and the items themselves with a level 2 heading is helpful on a computer or if someone has a keyboard connected to their phone, because you can tell the screen reader to go only level 1 headings, but on a touch screen you can only tel it you want to navigate through any heading no matter what its level is.

Re: New Text-based Roguelike For IOS and Android: Path Of Adventure
Re: New Text-based Roguelike For IOS and Android: Path Of Adventure Jumping into this thread after being hooked on this game for a few days. I gone into the castle and almost killed the final boss... Must try harder!I agree with Dark's comments about headings. The one place where I think having headings is really useful is for separating the tabs at the top from the rest of the game and for separating the different inventory sections, while the separate headings for choice group 1, 2... etc might be a little excessive.I have 1 suggestion to ease navigation, or at least make it less necessary to actually navigate around the screen to get information. Consider adding a live region to the page and putting the most important messages to it as they come up. There are _javascript_ libraries to do this, like this one A live region is a section of the webpage that a screen reader speaks automatically if it changes. So, what this script essentially lets you do is get screen readers to speak any text you want at any time. I think for this game, putting any messages that come up above the buttons as well as the messages you get in the battle log as they come up would help greatly, because it would cause both VoiceOver and Talkback to automatically read things like how much damage your attack did right after you tap on a weapon to use it, without you having to manually go back up through the interface to read the battle log.

Re: New Horizons, space combat and trading game
Re: New Horizons, space combat and trading game I'll try to answer some of the questions.Regarding finding freeports, also listen out for the beacon sound. Generally they'll be somewhere near a planet, which doesn't have to be inhabited as I came across freeports near planets in uninhabitable systems. Which leads me to another thing, once you find a freeport and you've landed there remember the autopilot has an option to save locations, so you can add any freeports to it and then have it navigate you there.Repairing your ship happens automatically when you land at a freeport. The manual says there's an automatic hull repair upgrade, but I haven't found it yet.Yes, your laser can destroy salvage, though it tries not to do it if the inhibitor is on, which it is by default. Then if you're fighting something and a mineral comes in its path the laser will stop firing.

With Charm running I noticed that when I enter baking mode it maxes out a core completely on my CPU, which makes my fans very unhappy and seems to sometimes effect NVDA reading. Other than that, I'm hooked.

Re: Audiostrike - New shooter game by Morokuma This game is really hard. Now I'm on stage 7 and I haven't yet passed 7-3. If I'm lucky I can kill the first boss but getting there usually takes all my lives. The amount of things flying around is just insane!I'm not saying that's a bad thing.

Re: Audiostrike - New shooter game by Morokuma
Re: Audiostrike - New shooter game by Morokuma I didn't need this game coming out when it did... I was supposed to be sleping an hour ago! *sigh* Jokes aside, this is all kinds of awesome. Definitely not as easy as it sounds. I'm already finding the different ships being useful on different stages, though blue feather and white falcon seem to be the best ones at least for my playstyle.Like Connor I haven't beaten stage 5 yet. You can avoid the tripple napalms, I was able to do it once but later died to a missile. So it can definitely be done somehow. Probably just requires tons of practice.Definitely an awesome game, it shows not everything has been done with the space invaders genre yet. It's right up there with Villens from Beyond and Dark defender for complexity, except I'd say this game is harder than those 2. Would this be the first audio bullet hel shooter we ever got?

Re: new game online! Desafio Mortal
Re: new game online! Desafio Mortal This will be most likely my only post in this thread because I don't like to get into toxic flame wars to this scale. But I can't help thinking that even if this game was a clone of Ultrapower it sure as hel isn't one now because the developers have added a lot of additional features to the game. It looks to me like quite a few hours have been put in to expand the maps and add more things to do and weapons to kill with, there's a few quests, etc. I can't help thinking to an extent that some people here, including blink wizard, might want this topic deleted and the game closed simply because the other UP clones we've seen had far fewer changes done to them other than add an item or 2 and give it a new name, where as here I think there's a clear case of perhaps using some code as a base for something much bigger. The developers are also being quite responsive and I know for a fact Ghorth has been in contact with them in regards to changing the net code to help with the lag and avoid some bottlenecks of BGT.Code gets reused all the time, and yet you don't see sighted people calling games like counter strike, team fortress, portal and left4dead clones of half life? Why? They're reusing the same engine, they're all first person and you can shoot things in them. It's because during development, new elements have been added to those games to make them different. I think that's what happened here. Even if some part of UP has been used as a base, the small closed maps full of nothing but weapons have been replaced with more detailed, bigger areas. Heck you don't even have to take part in PVP if you don't want to.

As for inaccuracies, yeah, they are definitely there. The game is realistic to a point but there re some things that are simplified or not quite accurate (like every plane, from the C172 to a A380 having 2 engines)Regarding releasing the translation, there's currently a serious bug that crashes the game if you try to start the second mission which may be related to the translation. I'm in contact with Stefan about this, but if it is indeed translation related I'd rather not release it yet.

Re: eurofly a flight audio simulator from slovakia
Re: eurofly a flight audio simulator from slovakia As far as mic quality is concerned, you don't have to worry about that too much, since most Voices will be coming over a radio and/or an intercom speaker, so they will have a lot of processing on them which will get rid of most frequencies. From the recordings we have so far, you can't tell who's using a behringer, a blue yety or a cheep logitec USB mic, they sound very similar after processing.Regarding a text version, the game isn't fully self voicing. The only things that have a VoiceOver is the main menu which is translated, the various airtraffic towers, the flight attendents, and a few airplane messages like pull up or turbulance warnings which are pre-recorded files using a TTS (Alex in the translated version). The rest of the game, such as most status information or place names, is spoken using a screen reader (either JAWS, NVDA, Winmonitor or SAPI).

Re: PCS DOS games now on Audio Games Archive
Re: PCS DOS games now on Audio Games Archive Hi all,I may be able to record a tutorial in the future, however at the moment I'm far from my usual setup so doing this is going to be at least a month away.I haven't used DOS back when it was actually popular, but to my understanding this is why you really need a hardware synth, virtual or real to play DOS games, especially the PCS ones. DOS was never designed for multitasking, this is why you can only be in one program at a time, and for the most part the OS is doing one thing at a time. Conpending this problem, the most popular sound card, the creative Sound Blaster and its billion other clones, were not multichannel (that is they can only play 1 sound at a time). There's a good reason so few DOS screen readers support software speech synthesisers that output to a sound card - because DOS isn't multitasking, when a software synthesisers starts speaking the OS is only concentrating on that, plus a few keys to interrupt it. This of course really slows things down, especially in games where you need as few interruptions. To make things worse, DOS memory access is really confusing and primitive, and if multiple applications try to access some hardware, like a screen reader and a sound player accessing a sound card, it leads to crashes. This doesn't happen with hardware speech because nothing is accessing the sound card so it's more than OK for the game to take it all for itself, and DOS doesn't have to wait for the synth to finish speaking - the Screen reader just sends the text over a serial port which happens many hundred times faster than speaking something in realtime.For all the great things we can emulate now, speech synthesisers are not one of them, which is why you have this somewhat convoluted com0com setup (you can think of it like installing a virtual audio cable=Com0Com, plus an audio repeater=the BNS emulator) to hear the text. Mess, the same emulator that gave us Apple II with Echo speech, has some support for Dectalk PC emulation. Getting it to work as a bind person at first is quite hard though as the emulation is really low level, down to the BIOS and all the wonders of having to tell it what size hard drives are installed and other such things where you have no speech, and the last time I tried it the speech was often glitching out. It may be something worth investigating again though.For now, the best thing to do is to run Dosbox with Com0Com and ASAP, rather than JAWS which uses sound blaster based speech.

Re: Crazy Party: mini-games and card battle!
Re: Crazy Party: mini-games and card battle! There are 2 ways to edit a deck.1. As you pick up cards in the jyms, they get unlocked and added to the "random inventory deck". You'll definitely want to make your own because although playing with that may be OK for the first 3 or 4 jyms it becomes very unmanageable after that. So after selecting the cards you want to collect, you can go to the manage decks menu and select one of the 12 slots. Then you get a menu with all cards that you unlocked, and pressing enter lets you type in how many of that card you want in your deck, which you can always go back and change later.2. The second option is to make a deck via a text file. To do that you should first generate a card reference from the options menu which will create a txt file in the game's folder listing every card. TO actually make a deck, create a new .txt file in the decks folder and name it whatever you like. Now to add cards to it, open the card reference and as it says at the top you jus t paste the line of the card that you want in your deck, optionally changing how many of a certain card you have by changing the number after the card's french name from 4 to something other. And that's it! Your Text file decks will appear in the game as deck 13 and higher giving you their file names in the menu.

Re: Redspot, blood and paril. First public beta released!
Re: Redspot, blood and paril. First public beta released! Having spent some time with the game, I enjoy it more than I thought I would. That being said some things could definitely be improved.Since a lot of what I think was already said here, I'll just say that, the distant battle sounds definitely need to be worked on. The sounds you're using for distant explosions sound wy too close up. If they were more muffled and panned in relation to you they would make for useful orientation aids. I would also work on the keymap, move the tracking keys for nearest player and your selection to Z and X so you don't have to move your hand. Also it would be very nice if the track nearest player key produced a ping just because the messages you get are incredibly verbose. Lastly, I'm not sure how possible this would be but it'd be really nice if the tracking menu was sorted by distance to make picking targets easier. The Jet isn't as useful as it could be because half the keys don't work, you can 39;t open the tracking menu or even check what direction you're going in. It would actually be really cool if it had a targetting system (just keep beeping if there are visible players near, because as it stands I mostly use it as a means of fast travel because I can't hit anything.

Re: MarinaBreak - new year release from Nyanchan games
Re: MarinaBreak - new year release from Nyanchan games You can get the ball to be stuck not only below the paddle, but also to its side. The ball is probably bouncing off the paddle, then hitting one of the side walls, then bouncing back to the paddle and so on.As for powerups, I would love to see them in the arcade mode. Most mainstream breakout games give you powerups inside blocks that appear randomly on the board on occasion, so all you have to do is break a powerup block with the ball to get it. Things you can usually get range from extra balls, different kinds (like the fireballs someone mentioned earlier), larger paddles and so on. Most of these powerups are timed. Another one I can think of that would be good for this game is a low gravity powerup, or one that would give you a second ball that would remain in play either for time limit or until it stops moving.On iOS, blindfold breakout uses a shop system, where you can use your points to buy yourself different kinds of balls, but I'm not sure how well such a system would work in marina break because you're not really supposed to lose your ball. It might still have a use for possibly getting one-time use special paddle swings that could for example hit the ball with twice as much force as a normal swing would.

Re: JI EUM- Kickstarter campaign for visually impaired gamers
Re: JI EUM- Kickstarter campaign for visually impaired gamers Hi there,First of all I'm really happy you are considering localising this game. Rhythm audio games haven't really been created before, there were only 2 or 3 projects I can think of which were either just concepts or were never completed, and I'm definitely interested in your game. Before I make the pledge though I have a few questions.First, I think this is the first time that I've seen a kickstarter for a game that does not offer the game itself as a pledge reward, either when completed or possibly for alpha/beta play testing. This is a little unusual, but at least in my opinion more people might be interested in pledging if they are sure that they will be receiving a completed product in return. As it stands, the information given in the campaign description is in some ways quite vague, which makes the decision to fund it more difficult. This brings me to my other set of questions. You say this game is for mobile devices, but not which ones specifically. Are you going to release it on both iOS and Android smartphones or just one of the 2? Or is this a console game for a PS Vita or the 3DS? How much is it going to cost when released? Finally, you mention multiple times that you want to localise the game in the US and get it "on track" there. Does it mean that on release the game will be region locked only to the Korean and US app stores? This website, and the community of blind gamers that speak english is very large and worldwide and I myself live in Poland, so if the game would only end up being released in the US I would be somewhat disappointed for having funded something that in the end I wouldn't even be able to play.Once again I really appreciate what you're trying to do, and I'm sure that myself and many other people here will be happy to support your project if we get some more information. ☺️ URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=240858#p240858 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Bokurano Daibouken translation Project has officially started!
Re: Bokurano Daibouken translation Project has officially started! @post 2 I'd like to respectfully disagree with what you said. A shitload of development time has went into BK3, and even more to the translation project. The fact the game was, or still is to an extent, free for all this time is very impressive. Even now the fact that you can basically name your own price for the translation is surprising, because if you pay the minimum $5 price you're getting a game that's 1/5 of the price of something like the gate, but has way more content and replay value. Honestly, I think it's fair for Yukio to ask for any compensation after writing over 5 lines of code, then also spending time to playtest, and make sounds and music.This is wonderful news!

Re: Bari Bari Racing.
Re: Bari Bari Racing. The demo doesn't let you use all cars, and you don't get to play the later levels when you finish first.So anyway I have a blast with this game, even though it's very hectic when you're playing in the grand pre modes (then again if I understand correctly, mainstream cart racers are just as intense). There is a few problems I want to report (no clue if the developer reads this forum, I know he has an account here so I'll try anyway)First, I was able to crash the game multiple times when using SAPI and espeak. No idea if it's just that particular voice, but if there are a lot of sounds playing, speech would start to stutter and crackle (all it takes for that to happen is pitting for example). However, if even more sounds play, the game just crashes completely (usually it happened for me when I got hit by something while playing one of the battle grand pre modes). Using NVDA doesn't seem to have this issue. Haven't tried with the pre-recorded speech.Lastly, I wasn't able to get multiplayer to work. I have tried with at least 3 people with different setups and countries (though we were all in Europe) and we got slightly different results every time. Just once, we somehow managed to get the game to start, it was then very sloan eventually crashed. At other times, the person starting the game would get .net exceptions after picking a car, after which things would again crash. In another case, I would pick a mode, car and track, the race would start on my end but not on the other person, then the race would immediately end with my victory, and in one other case right after starting the game and getting the mode selection menu, I would get a message that the partner disconnected. We also tried to play a LAN game using a hamachi network, but we couldn't see each other.I don't know why this is happening - maybe we have really high pings to the central server and the game doesn't wai t as long, maybe it's something else. In any case I'm seriously thinking of buying this game, though I'm not sure if I will if multiplayer stays this broken. The gameplay itself is really good.

Re: Announcing release of Interceptor by Valiant Galaxy Associates
Re: Announcing release of Interceptor by Valiant Galaxy Associates One of the things I enjoy in the game was how you got splash damage when fighting the tanker. Maybe this could also happen with other ships as well, Say if youre under 2000 meters, any damage to the rocket pod which would cause rockets to be ejected could potentially cause said rocket to explode and damage both yourself and the enemy. This could also happen if the whole ship explodes to encourage keeping your distance somewhat.

Re: Announcing release of Interceptor by Valiant Galaxy Associates
Re: Announcing release of Interceptor by Valiant Galaxy Associates I was a curious how far I could go without using any repairs. The first few levels actually went quite well until the command and control one. It had a 3 fighter escort and the first one managed to hit me with a rocket which did a few fun things, and the last fighter finished it off with a computer assisted shot. Still, I actually did pretty well I think. Statistics for Playthrough of the Interceptor Game, on Version 20 (normal mode)The game lasted 32 minutes and 48 seconds and ended on Sunday, July 19, 2015 at 0:42 AM - The player lost!5 epsilon, 5 delta, 5 gamma, 0 beta, 2 alpha, 1 tanker, 0 command and control and 0 mother ships were destroyed, for a total of18.The interceptor destroyed 10 vessels with just one attack, and 5 with two. It fired 25 shots and 11 rockets.The interceptor took 33 turns, traveled 90 meters, consumed 2309 energy and its reactors produced 907 energy. Opponents took 14 turns.Final level reached: 7, final sc ore: 97000!

Re: Announcing release of Interceptor by Valiant Galaxy Associates
Re: Announcing release of Interceptor by Valiant Galaxy Associates This is the place where I was going to post my stats, but the VMware fusion clipboard sharing thing broke. So, I beat the game and got around 26 points, which is not my highest, that would be around 28 IIRC.Something I was thinking of, the command and control ship and the motherships are kind of underpowered. Dont get me wrong, if you get an unlucky rocket in your face, or go into the fight damaged, it could get more interesting. But just now during this game, I had only a single Epsilon on level 9 so went in mostly OK, pretty much everything in the 90s and a full load of rockets. out of all of those only 1 actually connected, which really didnt mean much because I moved in, and 4 neutrino shots later it was over. For a ship that the manual describes as something you should never come in contact with in a small fighter, its quite wimpy. The main gun mostly gets deflected and does minimal damage, while you can knock out its deflectors in one sh ot. If you want to keep this kind of mothership in the game, perhaps make it longer, maybe 12 or 15 levels longer and add a super mothership which could either have more health, so you couldnt just one shot the deflectors, or have it generate a jamming field of some kind that would make computer assisted shots near impossible.

Re: Announcing release of Interceptor by Valiant Galaxy Associates
Re: Announcing release of Interceptor by Valiant Galaxy Associates Dark,I think the problem youre experiencing sort of ties ins with a suggestion I want to make. Right now, pressing control pauses speech, but doesnt actually flush the speech buffer. What makes this annoying is that the only thing that does after that are menu movements, but not pressing information keys. So, when the combat menu comes up and it starts reading the first item, I interrupt `speech with control, press D to get the distance, nothing happens, I press control and it continues rattling on, interceptor status sub menu, 99% this, 98% that, etc, until finally it gets to the distance that I requested. Maybe this behaviour should be changed to how this is handled in NVDA, where pressing shift pauses and resumes speech, just like how the game behaves now, while control stops speech and flushes the buffer.The other thing I wanted to suggest is an endless/surviver mode. This could work by making subsequent levels longer and longer, possibly even having on ly the bigger command and motherships in the later levels, or making the refuelling and rearming sequences happen less and less. I think this would add to the replay value quite a bit.

Re: Talking dosbox pre pre alpha 0.01
Re: Talking dosbox pre pre alpha 0.01 Right, I think you guys deserve an update. That will come a bit later today, but you can expect a few things:-I managed to boot into freedos. This was mostly required by one screen reader, tinytalk which absolutely needed the cover speech thing drivers to be loaded with proper dos. The speech thing was a very cheep sound card that connected to a parallel port and I mostly set it up to free the soundblaster for games that need it. Some apps may work better or worse when booted into it.-The next version will also come with Tyler Spiveys braille ns peak emulator, compiled into an EXE as well as a full version of ASAP. You will need to install com0com to get a virtual serial port, but I think its worth it as ASAP is probably the best dos screen reader out there. Its faster, has the most reliable screen echo and unlike the screen readers that use stalker, doesnt stop the program while its speaking. Its definitely the preferr ed way of playing the PCS games, for example. JAWS will still be included so no worries in case you dont want to set that up.-Lastly, just like with Jason Smiths messapple I want to include some games to get people started. Im probably going to include Eamon, Drone, a few of the other games people mentioned here and Ill probably also get in touch with Phil to see if I can get the full versions of the PCS games Im missing@Jack yes, PC speaker emulation works.

Talking dosbox pre pre alpha 0.01
Talking dosbox pre pre alpha 0.01 Yesterday I posted a topic about this which was just saying that this will most likely become a thing soon ish, but I think its going to get more views in new releases as it sort of is, as early as its actually coming out.This is a preconfigured version of dosbox Daum that comes with a screen reader and speech all set up to play old 16-bit dos games, even on new 64-bit Windows. For the most part, things work but theres still a lot of room for improvement which will hopefully happen as time permits and as I figure things out. Some basic instructions:Extract and run dosbox.exe. It should take about a few seconds for things to load. You will know when it does as you will hear the jaws startup message, followed by C colon backslash jaws greater. If youve never used a text mode interface, reading up on dos commands may at this point be a good idea, even by typing help and pressing enter which will give all commands, including ones specific to dosbox for things like mounting additional directories or disk images or changing the Cycle speed. As far as screen reader keystrokes go, Some keys are the same as JAWS for windows. You can get to a help mode with insert+1, turn on the jaws cursor with numpad minus and off with numpad plus (you may need to pass these 2 through in NVDA or JAWS for windows as they may intercept them). When the jaws cursor is on, you can review all lines with the arrow keys. Pressing ctrl+slash will enter the jaws menu if you want to change the speech settings. In this menu, left and right move between options, down enters a submenu and pressing enter accepts a change. To add your own games or programs, you can either copy them into the cdrive folder, or mount local directories into dosbox using the mount command, IEmount D C:\users\me\downloads\dos\gameswhich would cause the C:\users\\me\downloads\dos\games folder to become the D: drive in dosbox.< p>To exit, you can either type in exit at the prompt or press control f9. Other keys you can use include control F6, which starts and stops recording to wav in the captures folder, control f11 and f12 which adjust the cycles (how fast the emulator is, anything below 45000 cycles will make the speech quite laggy), and alt f12 which toggles turbo mode.If you ever want to use a different screen reader or try using this with a real or fake hardware synthesizer, you can open dosbox.conf, which is not only where you configure serial ports, but also where you have the autoexec section which includes any commands ran at dosbox start. Ive also included another screen reader, flipper, which may in some cases work better. The speech also seems to pause less with it but screen echo isnt as reliable. If you want to run that instead of JAWS, edit the auto exec section to look something like thismount C cdrivecycles 5C:\flip50\sbtalker /dBLASTERC:\fli p50\f_blastC:\flip50\flipperOther things to be aware of, expanded memory (EMS) doesnt work very well with most programs while any screen reader is on so Ive temporairly turned it off. This means that you only have about 640K of RAM instead of 16MB. Also, because the speech by default is using a soundblaster software synthesizer, programs that play sounds this way will either not play them, or play them but interrupt speech or be angry with you because the soundcard is busy. Music playback through the PC speaker, the FM chip of the soundblaster, midi or other sound outputs should work but wasnt testedRight, having said all this, heres yourdownload linkHave fun.

While the make command seems to have executed, it just kept saying theres nothing to do and didnt compile anything. The official dosbox 0.74 has issues with screen readers with no screen echo and after posting on the vogons forums it looks as though the mainline developers dont really care much for very deep emulation and are perfectly fine with making it do just enough to run games.If you can get any of the unofficial patched dosboxes to compile, i would also be very interested.

Re: Psycho Strike - New Strategy/Action game
Re: Psycho Strike - New Strategy/Action game The reason I can think of the crashes happening is that either the game or the elias dll which is the only external library used were compiled in some way that XP doesnt much care for. Could be incompatibilities with visual c redistributables, or something else. This forced me to use my bootcamp partition to play. Not that I mind because I ended up buying the game 20 minutes after playing with the demo.As far as genre, I wouldnt classify this as an FPS, but calling it a beatemup wouldnt be all that inaccurate considering you get to throw bottles at people. I really like how you can take various aproaches to playing, for example you could just rob the bank by killing everyone and grabbing all the cash they drop, or grab a few bombs and just do horrible things to the vault, its very much up to you. Generally, I think the AI is quite nice as well, but Id really love to see some very basic voice commands like follow me, wait here, return to b ase, go ahead/behind and, well, thats it really. Having your gangmates is quite helpful, but sometimes they will go doing very counterintuitive things, like when trying to rob the bank, I can usually have them help me with the first vault, but usually at the second they will find attacking random people or cops more interesting, which would be OK but they walk off towards the exit, get bogged down because they made so much noise and get captured.

Then, after either 2 days go by or after everyone has completed the challenge, the first person on the board will get some coins, the reward gets bigger the more people there are. The time thing isnt really an issue because as usual you get 30 seconds per answer, and it calculates your total time based on that.

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite
Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite If theres anything I plan on rewriting next, its probably shooting range. My 3 most favourite games were, in no particular order, that, breakout and Panzers in north africa which is the one I logged the most time in I think. However, as much as Id like to write a faithfull windows conversion I dont think I could do it accurately as Im not sure how the various calculations worked in that game which is why Im still planning on working on that dos emulation project. On the programming front, Ill probably release a 3rd version of breakout that lets you use I and K in addition to the arrows in menus and maybe look into some stats. After that I want to take some time to learn bass so I can go cross platform, then possibly change breakout so it uses that and come out with a Mac version, then I can think about coding new ideas. Initially, I was planning to release it both on Windows and Mac, but even though the pure basic manual says changing the sound frequency and panning is supported on both Windows and Mac in practice it doesnt actually work on the mac which is why Angelgift also hasnt been released on it.

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite
Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite @crashmasterFreedos is, well, free and similar enough to real dos that we wont be running into compatibility issues. It also has the advantage of being open-source, so if I ever decide to make a premade mess configuration that has dos, a configured screen reader (probably JAWS because, again, its free and it also supports the soundblaster TTS in case the dectalk idea fails), plus a couple of games, theres going to be a smaller chance of running into trouble. On the other hand somehow I doubt microsoft is going to care either way and I can get just about every version of dos, including 6.22 from archive.org under the mess software collection.

Mess can emulate not only the Sound Blaster 16, but they also recently added Dectalk PC emulation so I think theres a big possibility getting something going will not be very hard.

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite Note to self: If you absolutely want to release something at 1 in the morning, at least make sure to include every file. I forgot to select the readme when creating the archive and that was the result. Get it again from the link in post 1, the readme is *really* included now.

This being said maybe having a limit on how many times you can miss in a level may be a good idea, maybe 20 or 30... thoughts?

Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite
Re: Modern PCS breakout rewrite Hi,The only reason I can think of for the archive failing to extract for some of you is that Im using the LZMA2 algorithm Try to update your 7Zip and extract again, if it still doesnt work maybe you got a corrupted download.

Modern PCS breakout rewrite
Modern PCS breakout rewrite Looking at the recent discussions about old DOS games I decided to look back into getting some sort of accessible dos emulation going. In the meantime, while trying to figure out why dos screen readers dont really automatically echo anything I pooled out the various games I have for it, breakout being one of them and after playing it for a while I thought why not remake it for newer operating systems? Well, since I wanted to get back into programmingI decided to go for it and this is the resultThe name of the game and the modes are the same because I couldnt really think of anything better. All of the 4 modes are in, gameplay is pretty much unchanged. Compared to the original it has 15 walls vs 13 as well as background music, plus a few more audio queues to show how well youre scoring. I also changed the bust through mode a bit so you can get some bonus points if you can aim well so you can expect to get higher scores than in the original.There is a readme included if youve never played the original breakout before. Also, if you find any bugs, let me know, its my first programming project in a few years and its my first program in pure basic so theres probably something Ive missed. Anyways, hope you have as much fun playing as I did making this.

Re: Angelgift: the adventure begins!
Re: Angelgift: the adventure begins! All of the music and sounds are stored in the data file exactly for this reason, so other people dont just take them and use them in their own productions without giving credit. A lot of time went into designing them, I helped with some of them like those massive explosions with the boss demon which required a lot of layering, the voice actors had to spend their free time recording and that also took a few hours, I think you get the idea.

Re: Angelgift: the adventure begins!
Re: Angelgift: the adventure begins! @chrisfaelnar I have this sneaky suspicion that youre using Avast, right? Well, someone at Alwil software thought it would be a good idea to flag every single pure basic application as a virus and delete it. So, you will need to add AG to your exceptions, or temporarily deactivate avast while you play.@everyone having trouble with the boss have you tried your other abilities? Walk around, press keys, see what happens.

With Dropbox I can imagine that there could be a lot of conflicts, and if someone randomly decides they need to cut the folder out and move it somewhere else, well, that wont be fun.

Re: SoundRTS and the CrazyMod (update 8.2)
Re: SoundRTS and the CrazyMod (update 8.2) All right, I finally got it to work. Yay!Now, I could just stop here and just play the game, but Id like to help with compilation. I ran py2applet --make-setup soundest.py and then built an app out of the setup file it came up with. The resulting app does include all of the frameworks for things like SDL that pygame needs, but all of the game resources are missing and Im getting a lot of failed imports when I run the compiled app. And not surprisingly the game doesnt work this way. On a different note, what happened to the speed setting? I seem to recall that there used to be an option to adjust the speed of sapi/NSSpeech in this case, but I cant find it anywhere and its speaking a bit slow.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=178726#p178726 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: SoundRTS and the CrazyMod (update 8.2)
Re: SoundRTS and the CrazyMod (update 8.2) OK, I just forced the language to English and the game loads. However, theres no TTS. Instead I just get this very helpful message Couldnt use Appkit.NSSpeechSynthesizer. which is followed by errors of missing sound files when ever the game tries to speak something.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=178513#p178513 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: SoundRTS and the CrazyMod (update 8.2)
Re: SoundRTS and the CrazyMod (update 8.2) Another reason you should add accessible output is that it supports output to Voiceover on the mac which would be very nice to have. Then I could probably see about trying to compile the game so people dont have to deal with setting up python... or generating speech on Windows.Im very much enjoying the mod, by the way.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=178372#p178372 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
