Re: [Audiogames-reflector] web browser games: interesting or boaring?
Re: web browser games: interesting or boaring? Funnily enough shut eye Im exactly the oposite. Id love to play a single player civ or exploration stratogy game, but I have no interest in building something just for it to be destroyed by another player, but as I said this is why there isnt particularly a one word answer or brwoser games sinse it depends very much on what each person wants in a game.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=173117#p173117 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] web browser games: interesting or boaring?
Re: web browser games: interesting or boaring? Well, I for one generally enjoy browser based games. They tend to be fairly in depth as far as a storyline goes, and they are cross-platform making them ideal for someone who doesnt necessarily use Windows all the time.In particular I have played Sryth quite a lot before the developer began adding various adventures that involve a lot of grinding to complete. Still, for what it is I cant think of many audio games that have the same amount of game play, as complex a storyline, and as many things to do as Sryth.As Dark said each game has its own strengths and weaknesses and I dont think one can simply say all browser based games are boring, are this way or that, because they are all a bit different. Kingdom of Loathing, for example, is worth a few laughs because there is a lot of humor involved in the text descriptions. Core Exiles is a great game if you are into trading and economics. The Wrestling Game is a decent text based wrestling game if you ar e interested in managing a wrestling federation and playing wrestling matches. There is no one size fits all browser game out there, but neither should they all be good or bad just like anything else.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=173135#p173135 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: [Audiogames-reflector] web browser games: interesting or boaring?
Re: web browser games: interesting or boaring? Well really it depends upon the game and the player, different games have different strengths. Puppet nightmares has a great combat system, core exiles has very complex trading missions and economics, kingdom of loathing has the humour, metroplexity has a good story and setting, freerice is great for a quick blast and very charitable too etc. you really cant some up web browser games in one sentence sinse they vary so much in type.@Burak Im a little surprised that you say you like gamebooks and yet you dont care about the content in browser games, sinse for me the games Ive spent most time on like kingdom of loathing or even sryth play more like gamebooks with more complex mechanics.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=173058#p173058 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: web browser games: interesting or boaring? I cant stand RP or action browser games, but the strategic civilization style ones rock my world.

Re: [Audiogames-reflector] web browser games: interesting or boaring?
Re: web browser games: interesting or boaring? I personally found browser games not very interesting. Most really boiled down to going somewhere and killing someone - click this link to go to this dungeon, then click that link, keep clicking it until the monster dies, maybe check something occasionally, repeat. Some also have turn limits which I also found quite frustrating. That said, people like different experiences, so what I consider borring may actually be quite rewarding to someone else. Oh yeah, and I also very much like gamebooks and those do run in a browser. So do the choice of games, if you know how to set it up.All this being said, if developers would start to develop browser based audio games, things could get very interesting thanks to the webaudio APIs. Here are a few demos, which will work in pretty much every browser, except IE (microsoft is always really slow at catching up to web standards)theres this synth] which has 3 oscilators (these are all generated live). You can tweak them separately and it also has reverb. If you have a midi keyboard then you can apparently play it with that as well. This particular site also has a few other demos, one of which adds effects to live audio from the microphone. Very impressive.Speaking of synths, theres also this one that fastfinge discovered, which is also very cool. Although some effects didnt seem to work right in Firefox (EG the reverb was very scratchy), but Chrome and Safari work just fine.This one just lets you add a couple of effects to a few loops. the effects do sound very realistic.And then theres this Demo which was featured by Mozilla when Firefox gained webaudio support. This one makes full use of HRTF and spacial effects, which basica lly means its using the same technology as somethin else for Papasangre, plus things like walls bounce the sound off so it sounds, well, very good. When this one starts you can use w-s-a-d to walk, and if you click just right you can also look around with the mouse (and yes, up/down also works here)So yeah. The technology is there, just no one is using it yet.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=172964#p172964 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com http://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
