Re: [Audyssey] new version of judgemtn day
Hello Liam. I'm not sure how easy this would be to do, but I'd deffinately appreciate a way to hear those litle bits of audio when you recieve each trophy again, I remember some of them being quite funny, but it's a long time sinse I got some trophies and would certainly like to hear them again, - perhaps by pressing enter on each trophy you've got while viewing it in the trophy cabinet? I also would quite like more music in the game if possible, the tune that's in there is great already, but something else, - particularly after the intermission sequences at level five and I believe level seven would do a lot imho for the audio ambience of the game. appologies if either of these is incredibly impossible to do, the game's certainly incredibly good already. as reguards speach, I really love the voice acting both in superliam and jd, the cutscenes and messages really add a lot to the game's atmosphere, and you play a very convincing villain ;D. While I can certainly see how having sapi speak your score, and maybe menue items as well would make things like scoreboards and player names a great deal easier to manage, I really hope you'll keep in as much voice acting as you can, - and that goes for any future games your working on as well. beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] trailer of mota beta 2
Hi Will, MOTA Beta 2 never got that far to make an audio trailer. Basically, all I have is thecore Genesis 3D engine, partly constructed, and the sound effects and music I was purchasing and setting aside for it. I'm not sure I will continue with the MOTA idea, but I will certain will work on the Tumb Hunter series as I now have music, and sounds for the series. will lomas wrote: > tom any chance youc an make a trailer mate of mota beta 2 then so we > can hear a little bit of this awsome new game ina ction? > smile > will > > > --- > Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org > If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at > http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org. > All messages are archived and can be searched and read at > http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] > If you have any questions or concerns regarding the management of the list, > please send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] making a game together
Hello all! I have a good idea: What do you think about making a game together? I mean if l-works, usagames, and so on can build a game together we have a good product with high quality! What i mean, if each developer needs a year or two for create a game with huge qualiti it is to long but if several developers make a game together it gooes faster and the fun is higer! Just an idea from my side.

Re: [Audyssey] blind people and punctuation was Re: thanks a lot.
The reason is likely to do with how screen reader like jaws process text. with correct punctuation, it's far easier to get the sense of what someone is saying. it's also a good habit to get into in case you need to write a formal letter. for example. i work in tech support. Most of my correspondence are via e-mail. Imagine what would happen if I didn't use correct punctuation? chances are, if you don't write correctly in e-mail groups or discussion forums, it'll bleed over to your more formal correspondence, which is a bad reflection on the individual. Just my view and should be taken as such.

Re: [Audyssey] sidescrollers and third games
I think we need to look at this in prospective, we don't have programming teams as such, big companies and things. Heck we don't even have the tech. No big multiplayer servers, no major companies or networks. We have 1 or 2 big gaming foundations, including several universitities. Several 1 man bands, and a few things with directx. Due to dx changing to xna we may not even have that for much longer. Sure I'd like a 3 d game over a shitty side scroler but we are lagging behind. Lets see. A couple are on python, some are on autoit. most of the devs out here are still using vb6. Some use dotnet c# and vb, one or so use java. We don't have oodles of bandwidth either. I always hope it will get better. But heck we are only operating off home computers really. Its not like we can aford anything flash well at least most of us can't. A few can though. This is beside the point. Will there be 3d games. Oh yeah there will be. How long will we have to have crappy games? probably for a bit. Oh we must remember that there will be people including me that have not played the old crappy games. So We have to start from the low end. I want to know how crappy the games are that were before I advance otherwise there is no point. We try to stay modern without going back to the past. I'd still like old games with the origional sounds, etc. There are just not enough of us to go round. I'm not saying slack off by any means I am just saying that for now we have what we have. If the community grows up to fast it will fall on its face and well I don't want that to happen. So are we ready for more advanced games? As has been shown on here some of us are not. And thats fine. I think there should be more hybrid style games. With old and new things. sdm has 3 themes. And whilst thats real hard to make it means that we will have to battle our way to more interesting things. A trophy system would also be good. One of the sighted games my friends play is myst, you click icons is what I am described and do things. Not sure how it would work on the blind games but there are vary few point and click games. Not sure if thats possible. I'd like another hybrid like teraformas. I'd also like more sighted people to get on board, but accept that may take a while.

Re: [Audyssey] What's Ahead For MOTA Beta 2.
There are quite a number of differences in that situation to what we just experienced here. First of all, I said at the very start of my attempt to make a game that it was just that. A sincere attempt to see if I could do something I've always dreamed of doing. I had never programmed anything before and didn't ever promise that I would finish it. It wasn't somebody else's project that I rescued. It was my own idea from start to finish. Through my development diary which you can read in quite a few issues of the magazine, I let people follow some of what I was going through. Also, I didn't take any pre-orders or even start to think about the business aspect of what I was doing. I wanted to make certain that I had a finished product that I was absolutely happy with before I even started putting all that together. I didn't want anybody to be out any money or feel unfairly treated except me if I faild. Editing the magazine gave me a very strong sense of the community I was trying to develop a game for and how not being able to keep solid commitments made in haste can get you into real trouble real fast. Many of our members are either young or have lived somewhat sheltered lives for other reasons. They simply can't get a sense of how truly hard it is to do what Tom and I have tried to do. I've been to university, managed my own apartment, maintained good relations with friends and family and have had a very limited amount of work experience. That five months of employment is more of a career than many members of the community will ever have. It's not their fault either. People are just on the whole less inclined to give us a chance. Without experience that nobody wants to give you, it's hard to get your foot in no matter how many hoops you jump through. Fully able-bodied High school dropouts frankly have a better chance. Given that, we have a lot of people with plenty of time on their hands who just don't have a good grasp of what reality is like for the developers. They aren't trying to be unreasonable either. They truly can't make the leap of empathy required. Given this, developers have to be educators as well and take care how they approach the whole issue of firm deadlines and such. You really have to have a passion for this kind of thing and have people in your life who understand and support that passion. It's very hard to justify the amount of time you put into developing a game for a community which simply doesn't operate on the same economic level as the mainstream games market. Nobody will ever make a million developing accessible games and I have yet to hear about anybody even making enough to truly live off their earnings. Editing the mag gave me quite a lot of insite in how one ought to deal with the public communications side of things. Be very careful about the commitments you make. People will, quite reasonably, hold you to them. Leave yourself some wiggle room unless you're extremely certain of what you can do and are willing to stick it out to the end if things don't go as planned. What I found out very painfully was that I simply don't have the mind for programming. Look through issues of the magazine and you'll come across Sparkle and Space Miners. I believe I've shown here that I have a good grasp of what makes a good game. I just couldn't explain all that to a computer. It still felt very bad turning away from that but at least I had acted in good faith and without unduely raising peoples' hopes. Out of a desire to do good in the community, Tom commited to completing somebody else's dream. I believe his style of approach was the most open we've seen to date. He released beta versions to the public so that everyone could literally experience progress being made. That is an incredibly jenerous approach. However, as time wore on, Tom's natural desire to put his own stamp on things came to the surfice and he became less satisfied with completing what he had taken on. He therefore tried to change the game entirely well before there was any real good reason to other than his own inclinations to do that. This last time wasn't the first time that had happened. However, this time, he had an actual impassable obstacle to doing what he said. There isn't enough money in the whole community to support the legal funds he'd need to take his case to court even though I strongly suspect he could have won such a contest. One person simply cannot take on a corporation and games just aren't the kinds of things to get organisations behind you like suing a corporation for damages or other more serious things might. Tom then decided to completely and utterly change what he would deliver. It would be a game completely different than what was initially promised. We wouldn't even get the kind of game we had waited years for and paidd for. Comparing that to what I've tried to do is just not reasonable. Once Tom has done this sidescroller, I believe h

Re: [Audyssey] Pre-ordering was MOTA.
my vew is do the way chee did it with rail racer. instead of having bater testers that are selected sell the game when it is in bater so that every one gets to help in every stage just like chee did with rail racer as i think that it is the better way to go - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Charles Rivard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2008 11:05 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Pre-ordering was MOTA. > Hi Charles, > I think as a community we all have learned a lesson about pre-ordering. > Even for the most well intentioned developer pre-ordering is for all > intents and purposes pretty darn difficult to manage.

[Audyssey] new version of judgemtn day
Hi. I'm working on creating a patch for judgment day to address a few long standing issues. Is there any suggestions or ideas anyone has? Try and avoid new feature requests like more levels or new kinds of weapons. I want to tweak the game and squish any bugs or fix things that don't work right. If there's small improvements I can make like navigation keys, and other misc features, let me know. this is the kind of stuff I want to work on. Sapi speech was one of my ideas. are people opposed to this? it would make my life easier inthe long run.

Re: [Audyssey] Side-scrollers was MOTA Beta 2.
but randomness can't be implemented in these games, am i right? so that means that once the snake is in level 2 after taking four steps, he'll always be there, so what's the point On 23 Mar 2008, at 23:28, Thomas Ward wrote: > Hi Bryan, > I couldn't agree with you more.

Re: [Audyssey] Pre-ordering was MOTA.
thomas how about this if people want to help test the game, do what chea does, it makes common sense open up the project when ready for testing and say right then. if you pay for the game now, you get to tryall the betas, if you haven't paid tough you ahve to wait for the full version and pay for it that way. at least you know then you have the willing people on your team who have paid in advance for the game. so yes i'd charge again for the new side scroller as it is no longer MOTA On 23 Mar 2008, at 23:05, Thomas Ward wrote: > Hi Charles, > I think as a community we all have learned a lesson about pre- > ordering. > Even for the most well intentioned developer pre-ordering is for all > intents and purposes pretty darn difficult to manage.

Re: [Audyssey] sidescrollers and third games
I don't think side scrollers are boring at all. What I'm trying to do in SDM is put a side-scroller, not really easy, and when your done with that, a mini 3D hunt to find the boss I definitely agree there aren't enough developers to provide every type of game on the market. That's why I constantly encourage people to start programming, even if it's just Print statements in JustBasic. Randomize it, use some Input commands, you got a small interactive fiction. Add some sounds, it's a bit more interesting. I was taking a look at my old idea/rsg notes from some time ago, looking at the complex ideas I had in mind. Is anyone still up for the Sims? It's technically a 3D Game/Strategy.

[Audyssey] Torrent is coming along greatly, according to the site!
Hi I was pretty bored, and wanted to see what games were available and then remembered Torrent! The site has 2 soundbytes available. The Mac version is almost done, the Linux I think is nearing completion and the Windows apparently has not been started yet since it says, "development will begin" or something like that so... Want the site? surrealhorizons.com Hope this is of some interest! --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
