[Audiogames-reflector] Echo Here to play IOS game
Echo Here to play IOS game Hi all,Im surprised to see absolutely nothing on the forum about this game. The only reason I know about it is from Apple Vis I believe. If I just missed something, I apologize, though I probably wouldve made this post anyway because I feel its worth writing about.Echo here to Play is a game for IOS where you tilt the device to avoid incoming ships. It is a 99 cent purchase from the App store I believe.Either way, youre in deep space, and aliens are coming after you. You will hear the alien ships in different stereo positions, very similar to how you would in a game like Troopanum, for example. As I said, you need to avoid the ships... so put them on the left or right channel, but not in both. To avoid them, you must tilt your device to move your ship. Tilting the device a little bit will make you move slower, tilting it a bit more moves you quicker, and holding it strait will keep you going strait. And holding it strait is no easy m atter! Its relatively sensitive so sometimes I end up going back and forth, which is not really a good strategy. Actually Ive discovered that the ships have to be relatively close to center to hit you, but all the same, if you lose control, it is extremely easy to get hit! One hit and its game over.The game has different levels, each lasting about a minute. Some levels have different themes. For example, the game gradually picks up pace, then in one of the levels, announces that it will let you relax a bit. True to its word, it slows down some and then picks back up again. In another level, it announces that the number of objects has been doubled, but the speed is decreased. Obviously this allows you time to maneuver your way through the mine field... it really gives you a sense that you are on a mission instead of in an arcade.You can also collect shield power-ups which give you an extra hit. You can have up to two shields at once. Once you have collec ted two shields, the shields will stop appearing and will only start again when you start losing them. Dont think youre safe just because you have three shields... in later levels, the ships can come in groups of three at a time. At least once, I have gotten hit with three ships in a row, and didnt have time to adjust myself. Thats the only real gripe I have about the game, but its not like you cant see it coming. Well you cant, but you can definitely hear it. When you get a game over, you will be told your score. your score is measured in how long you were able to survive. My top score is like 12:20 or something like that. I recently had to restore my device so I lost that information.The chalenging part about this game is that early on, you will have to master maneuvering your way around and in between ships. Going around them isnt too hard, you can just keep moving back and forth between the left and right sides of the playing field. But the real fun comes in when you have two, three, and four aliens on the screen at once and have only a few seconds and a very precise, calm hand to find a hole in between them.The game is very musical sounding, I can tell the sound designers had some knowledge of music when they were working on this game. Ive actually used my musical ear to tell me whats happening more than my audio gaming instincts... both are good to have in this game. The musician in me often can make decisions quicker because I can more easily decipher whats going on without being focused on individual game-related objects. All the same you do not have to be a musician to be good at this game.You can adjust several gameplay options, the one option that is very important in my opinion is the player position anouncement. By default, it is set to borders... basically you hear a sound on the left and right sides. I dont particularly like it because I think it is too qui et, I instead use the center option. It puts a sound in the center and then you can hear your ships position in relation to the center. One thing you have to remember with the center option is that if the center sound is on your right,, for example, it actually means that you are on the left side of the field. The reason the center locator sound plays on your right is because the center of the field is actually to your right. Its easier to understand if you put it in physical space; imagine a line going from left to right and a point fixed at the center of that line, with another point free to move around.Finally, the game has difficulty levels, which just increases the number of ships on screen at a time. To be honest I keep it on easy because I want to see if there is an end. Given the fact that the levels have names, I presume that something has to happen eventually. But if you do increase the difficulty, it does get really hard much faster.You can also co nnect to game center with this game... I dont get into that but its there if you do.Happy swerving! Sometimes I feel like a blind drunk driver with this thing... I

Im running it on Win 7 64 bit.Just got to level 16 before it crashed, but I think that crashing happens if you accidentally alt tab out of the window while its running. Just stay in the window and it should be fine...With NVDA at least, Im not having the problem I had before with the game messing with my screen resolution and making screen readers mess up.

Re: Seeking Sound Designer Well, I did finally download the thing, though I did have to correct a spacing issue in the link. So, Ive downloaded it and tried to run it, and the program asks me what sample rate I want to use for rendering... fine, but after that, it brings up a visual c++ runtime error abnormal program termination dialog. Not sure exactly what that is about, but I know Winamp does it too, though only after Ive been using it for a while.

Sonic Invaders link? Hi all,Does anyone remember the game called sonic Invaders? In it, you used the bottom row of keys on the keyboard like z, x, c, v, space, n, m, and comma, as cannons, to shoot oncoming ships. You also had a shield that you used the B key to raise to deflect enemy shots. The game had 40 levels... and had kind of odd orchestral music. I got a few hours of enjoyment out of that game when I had it back a few years ago, but the site has since died. I might still have the setup but wouldnt remember the name, and its very possible I dont even have it now.Does anyone remember what Im talking about? Im hoping someone on here still has it lying around, since in my opinion, it is too awesome to be forgotten. In the world of space invaders audio games, this is definitely one of my favorites, I even liked it better than Troopanum and Alien Outback, which also are both great games but Sonic Invaders is more of a survival space shooter that feels and so unds more high tech.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=157955#p157955 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Seeking Sound Designer
Re: Seeking Sound Designer Hi Ken,Your links are bringing up 404 errors. How do you put sounds in a 3d space? Im interested as I have been looking for ways to do that, just to add atmosphere to my sounds. Not so much for use in games, but for, say, offline rendering to an audio file. I know this is off topic buc a bit but audio games are severely lacking in 3d spacial sound, though they are getting there. Without a proper audio engine dedicated to 3d sound, I wouldnt be totally sure of how you would get around that, if youre just using audio files rendered in a 3d manner. I doubt it would work quite so well as having an engine that could do the 3d simulation in realtime.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=157737#p157737 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Seeking Sound Designer [[wow]], these things sound interesting! I think you could definitely be a good resource for that project.Oh man... too bad for the abandoned 3d audio stuff. The Blind Eye had the best 3d audio of any audio gamesI have ever played, it was almost too perfect!As for galaxy stranger and user carma... Galaxy Stranger is just a nickname the forum gives you to reflect how many posts you have. As you post more, it will change to other names. User Carma shows you how many people have given you a thumbs up. There is a thumbs up link at the bottom of every post, which is what you and others would click to give a Carma point to the person who made that post. There used to be a thumbs down too, but they took that out... and im glad they did.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=157769#p157769 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Seeking Sound Designer
Re: Seeking Sound Designer Hi Ken,Sorry to ask all the questions, but I am interested... is there some way you could send me that 3d stuff so I could play with it? Ive always wanted to be able to control sounds in 3d like the way you just described. Only problem is Im not sure if youre allowed to send it (its abandonware so Id think so, but not sure). And also its probably so damn hard to use if you know nothing about programming and have trouble with complicated scripting things such as BGT. Or maybe its just a simple script and everything else can be done behind the scenes? if thats the case I think I could figure it out.If you feel this should be discussed elsewhere, by all means take it to where you think it should go.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=157796#p157796 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] Seeking Sound Designer
Re: Seeking Sound Designer Hi,Id be willing to help with this project but there are a few important things you should know.I may not always be available at every hour. Ill check on it as often as I can, but I may not be the quickest at getting things done. Some of that is due to my being a bit slow because I want to get it right, but I am also busy with college so that takes up a chunk of my time as well. During my free time, of which I still have quite a lot, Ill be watching over development. As to whether I enjoy sound design enough to do it constantly... I think my answer would be yes. Of course Id have to take some breathers but I dont see myself becoming tired of it.However we need more details... what kind of sounds will you need? This will help us decide whether we can make the kind of sounds you are looking for. As you probably know, sound designers, especially hobbiests, cant make every sound imaginable, most likely each hobbiest may have their own types of sounds they are able to produce.My resources are not of professional grade, but I take great care to use them to their best. They include recorders like: Zoom h1, and editors like Gold Wave, Adobe Audition, Reaper, and tons of external effects to morph the recordings into something more interesting. I ought to put up a collection of sounds I have made. As for the types of sounds I could make, it would probably be hand to hand combat, household sounds, and some ambiences and sci-fi... I know thats vague, but thats all I can really say for sure right now. Also, I can help with editing/post processing, if someone has sent you sounds and you need a person to process them in any way to fit better, sound better, or just sound different, I am up for that. That would be easier for me than the sound design.Music is another possibility for me to help with, however in order to make sure you get it done, I would need details. I can not, and will not, t ry to compose for someone who only gives five-word descriptions of whats going on in a scene. I just dont have the time to make a million drafts of things in a timely fashion, so I have to get it right with as few re-takes as I can. This is not to allot me with more slacking time, but to keep things going at a smooth pace.The sounds you would be receiving from me would be free for any use though I would like to be credited, which I trust you will do. Even if you dont, I wont make a huge fuss about it but I think it is common courtesy.As for paying me for my work, I do not yet have a pay pal account, so sending me payment would probably be quite difficult. For now I am doing this stuff for free just as a hobby but that doesnt stop me from doing my best.BTW if youre running short on sounds, you can always use Freesound. Or get on their forums and ask for requests... Im sure someone on there will be able to help you too. Some of the members on Freesound are also selling other sounds for commercial purposes. The files they have on Freesound are of course free, but they also have additional sounds outside of Freesound which are not.So to sum it up, I feel confident that i could help you out in some way, though I dont pretend to do it all. Ive learned over the past years that saying you can do more than youre sure of will most likely not end well, so I am trying to be realistic.

Re: yet another guy's game recordings Hi all,Bad news to report. I took a look at the Bitcasa situation today since I had more free time than usual and I didnt feel like doing much else. Sadly, it has backed up 165 GB of my system files, before it finally realized it went over the 10 GB free storage limit. I have tried to stop the mirroring process, but that part of Bitcasa is still finnicky. I cannot delete the files from my Bitcasa drive either. Therefore, my account suspention is imminent and if I had the patience, I would be manually closing it right now. Ill just let it dye on its own... so Im looking for a new host. My options right now are 4 shared and google Drive. If worst comes to worst Ill just put the junky quality recordings on Dropbox again. Ive edited the first post to reflect these changes.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] yet another guy's game recordings
Re: yet another guy's game recordings Hi all,Just letting you all know I am still here, well Im not sure if anyone really knows about this topic. But for those who do, sadly, my reviews will be taken down in the coming days because My Bitcasa account will undergo suspension. I *do plan on getting them back up by 2014. I Just dont have the time now to sort through the clunky Bitcasa interface and whatnot to get this working. Furthermore my account is full, thanks to automatic backups which I didnt ask for... seems that needs to be manually turned off. Hopefully the interface is better now, well if it isnt, I will not be happy but I probably will continue to use it. I have a 4 shared account but I know a lot of people have issues with that. Id be happy to transfer to that, though. So once again, the reviews and whatever else that I posted here will be back in the coming weeks, so no panicking allowed! Also there will be some new content coming soon after I sort out the Bitcasa s ituation.Now, other less important things... my upcoming reviews will most likely be sounding different because my Yeti microphone sadly died. All I have to say about that is, curse that stupid flimsy USB port! It doesnt even look broken, but its usability has literally fallen apart piece by piece. Some of that could be due to my cable, but I wouldnt stake my life on that... So I am currently looking for other mics. For now I am using a junky 30 dollar piece of plastic, well it sounds okay if used right, but I wont settle for it. A few hours ago, I just looked at the ATR 2500. Price is going down, and a handful of people who use the Yeti as a vocal mic do seem to want to make the switch, just like I am doing. And its hard to argue; the mic just sounds different, more crisp in some ways, and definitely fits once you add game audio behind it. Just heard someone using one while playing Call of Duty or something. I made a topic in the Off Topic section if y ou want to discuss the mic. Also Ill be on break so I will be one happy college kid! And Ill slip a game recording or two in.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=157146#p157146 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
