Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks was: Mota demo, my thoughts
Hi, Yeah, sort of feels that way for me as well. Kind of like turning in a rough draft of a paper only to be told by the teacher to correct this, change that, improve the other thing, whatever. In a sense fixing bugs, working on end user suggestions, is like homework since I can't sell the game until most of these problems and issues are resolved satisfactorally. Only when I do the comunity will give me my grade. Smile.

Re: [Audyssey] Installing DirectX Updates
Hi Charles, That, or simply include the manage components with the game. Adding just the managed components won't take up much extra install space or make the setup file much larger. Provided the person is running a fairly recent DirectX, released in the last year or so, the components won't need anything else but the .NET Framework just like the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Installing DirectX Updates
Well since I have 3 computers on this home network its easier to share and deploy. its also good for systems that say I install the system on then I load all the programs, and all offline updates before I load the security stuff on it, connect to the net and get the updates. On a patch site the author did not put the latest dotnet because you had to get extra updates from windows update, the update was 248mb with everything, but if I got the main part of the update which was 231mb I only had to get 16mb from windowsupdate.

Re: [Audyssey] podcast on the Wii
you should host it on your own site man. However to get more hits try to post it to feedburner and itunes. I think those options are all free.

I have to confess this is actually much nicer as you are much closer to the point where you died, and resolves another miner issue I was having with the respaun code to begin with. As far as extra lives goes there is an extra life system in place. You just can't get them in the demo, because it is a limited demo.

I also think that lives should be taken into account when your score is counted up though, and there should be a way to get more lives during arcade mode. Maybe take the old ninja turtles game route and give you another life for x number of points dependant on the difficulty level? So like every 5000 points on beginner, 1 on intermediate, etc. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] any RPG Games?
Hi James, That's an XNA previous install. Go to your Add / Remove Programs and uninstall XNA Framework. Then reinstall Entombed. It should then work.

Re: [Audyssey] mota potential glitch?
Hi Al, Well, to be honest the Jaws and DirectInput problem is a fairly common problem with most accessible games, and it is so common that I assumed it was common knowledge. As a result I never documented it, but I guess I should in the trouble shooting section of the manual I am working on. What is interesting DirectInput doesn't seam to bother Window Eyes 7, NVDA, and a couple of other Windows screen readers. It always seams to be Jaws that has the conflict with DirectInput. Must be something do with the way it handles keyboard input. Allan Thompson wrote: Hi, Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] Installing DirectX Updates
Hi, Smile. Actually, that is one advantage of using the web setup tool. It is much much smaller. The setup file is like 1 MB or there abouts, and it downloads only what is needed from the internet. So depending on what you exactly need you might need a couple of MB of stuff or the entire 300 MB. Just depends on how out of date your directX install is. Good thing here is the setup can be packed with the game if necessary since it is so small. Constantine wrote: Iether 1 and 2. I actually would love option 1. Direct x is sort of a big file.

I tried to review it as best as I can although Rock Band isn't really a game that you could teach someone. Being blind we either have to get sighted help or learn it ourselves.

With this mind I want to switch to an installlation that is easier and more intuative for you gamers in the future. I'm wondering wich of the following you want me to try. 1.

I think I'm one in 100 because there doesn't seem to be much interest here. Anyway, onto my report - I'll make this as detailed as I can, sorta. Well, to start off with, I own a sega genesis, soon to own a sega cd, 3do and dreamcast - I also own a n64, and gamecube. Sega Genesis: Well, this heres pretty obvious - the 16 bit lovable genesis released in 1989. Anyway, the best beat-em-up ever is Streets of rage. Its one of my all time favorite games - and while I can't beat it, I can get to level 4 pretty easy - I made it to level 5 once, but that was by luck. If I practiced enough, I could beat it - but I get enough enjoyment out of it that beating it doesn't matter to me. Mortal kombat 1, 2, and 3 - Well, fighting. Nothing talks, but I don't care. I'm slowly learning all the moves. I love mk 3, though, its got the coolest music, and my favorite MK character of all - nightwolf! Sega CD: This heres an add on to the genesis. Its got the same color pallit - but better sound, more storage space - which means more things talk and more accessibility is here... Mortal Kombat for this system wasn't widely recognized. Bad graphics. Jesus. Who cares about graphics! Its basically MK1 for the genesis revamped to have characters names spoken, and music from the arcade version. The most horrible thing here though is the load times. Nearly 30 seconds between each fight. If you do a fatality, you have to wait about a second before it actually does it. Keep in mind I'm only brushing the top. I could go into much more details over each game, each system, etc. I'm missing a system or two here - but you get the idea. Mostly fighting games - but then again, Rush 2: extreme racing for the n64 was and still is one of the coolest racing games of all time. contact details: email: tcwoo...@shaw.ca and others msn: the_conman...@hotmail.com skype: the_conman283 system details: Hp pavillion dv5220CA notebook pc AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 2.0 GHZ, 1024 mb DDR ram, Fujitsu 100 gb 4500 RPM Hard Drive, connecsant AC-link audio --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games
well I suppose if you play console games hard core you should be able to figure these out. But myself a blind friendly game is the only accessible game really. Ofcause if comercial games can be modded to be accessible to a sertain extent then I am all for that to. Like audio quake. it cost me 25 bucks to get the actual quake, but the mod was free enough. One thing though. Usagames will be the next big step. We have not seen a new engine since adventure by enspiredcode and agm which were not that spectactular and then there was gma before that that was quite good and still is. But its getting a bit out dated now. I am pleased we are getting another thing going. and ofcause streamway whenever it goes out will make things quite a bit more better if the reviews I hear from devs are true. We have to many arcade games, and to many card games right now. Ofcause anything else takes longer to code. I also noticed tha frenzied development of games has dropped after the initial serge. Although we are now getting better games. as well as the experimental games which can be interesting.

Hi I recall totally by accident making the first fatality with mk against my sighted nephew he and I both thought it was great but took a few more games to redo the sequence with Scorpion.

Memorizing menus, controler buttons, special moves - say left, high punch, low kick, etc. It can be quite frustrating. I'll never forget, though, when I did my first ever fatality and heard the doo doo doo! Music on mk3. I tried for days to master it.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games
Hello Mani. I've been an intermittant listener of In Touch for years. A very well-done show indeed. Your arrival on this list is most timely. Tom Ward has just galvanised things with the release of his first public beta level of Mysteries of the Ancients. That's woken the list up for certain. Che Martin is another developer you'll definitely want to chat with. Quite a few of the people currently developing accessible games either had sight or have it. All of our developers have their own interesting stories. As the creator and former editor of Audyssey Magazine, I got to know several of them over the years. People get into this for the passion and interest in what they do. We've certainly come a long way together since I published the first issue in 96. Ron Schamerhorn's the current editor and has a somewhat better grasp on the state of things these days. Life has pulled me in some different directions but I still keep an ear on things and try to help where I can. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about past developments. You'll find quite a range of oppinion here concerning what constitutes an accessible game. I'm happy to see that you've already gotten a few responses. There are plenty more to be had as the debate is one of long standing in this community. There is a stronger sense among sighted game developers these days regarding the use of sound as more than window dressing. That's going to eventually pay off for us but I don't believe we're anywhere near that point yet. Personally, I'm from the old school which says that a game can only be counted as accessible if blind people can truly play it as it was intended to be played and have access to all information. They shouldn't be handycapped in any way in terms of how far they can get with a game due to being blind. Sight brings an incredible amount of information very rapidly to a person. To be accessible, a great deal of thought must go into the sound of a game as well as the interface. That means I don't view arcade games designed for sighted people as technically accessible. We're just not privy to all the information. Playing something via shere memorisation and luck just doesn't count for me. Other people have fun doing that sort of thing. There was a fellow who is now world famous due to his skill in playing Mortal Combat.As a child, I used to be more in the "if I can have fun with it, then it's accessible" camp. My father would take me to arcades and we'd try to play the videogames together. He'd desperately try to describe things as fast as possible and I'd be in charge of the controls. It was certainly fun at the time and there was a good degree of cameradery. However, when you take all the bells and whistles away, I was just following my father's instructions as quickly as possible. I eventually tried a game on my own and found out just how much of the experience I was missing as I got obliterated due to having no idea of the game situation. When you reduce a game to purely responding to sound cues and memorization, it stops being at all the same kind of fun that sighted people enjoy. There are a number of tragic cases of games which are almost accessible and could easily have been made so to the benefit of all players whether sighted or blind. The most disappointing one during my editorship of Audyssey was the North American version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. The questions were printed onto the screen rather than read out loud as they are in the show and apparently in the UK version of the computer game. A very disappointingly inaccessible Christmas present for our family. Other games like the You Don't Know Jack series are again very close to being accessible. In fact, for the earlier games in that series, nearly all of the game was. There were some visual questions making reference to pictures though. Also, there were the jack attacks which flashed up printed clues and information which had to be matched. With some elements like that, it simply can become impossible to accomodate. You could have a trivia game with questions all read aloud and no visual questions but it wouldn't be You Don't Know Jack. The same goes for such elements in many video games. We're simply too small a market to be worth a company's while. That's the major problem.

[Audyssey] Installing DirectX Updates
Hello gamers, I've noticed over the passed three or four days several of you have had difficulties getting Microsoft DirectX installed. Most of it is confusion over how the setup asks you to unpack files to the temp directory and than manually run dxsetup.exe after the files are unzipped. With this mind I want to switch to an installlation that is easier and more intuative for you gamers in the future. I'm wondering wich of the following you want me to try. 1. Instead of having gamers download and install the full runtime i can use the Microsoft web setup tool which will detect which DirectX components need upgraded or installed and will do this live from the internet. The good news is it is very easy to use, not confusing, but you should have a high speed internet connection to use it. 2. I can repack the installer with winzip self-extractor and force it to run dxsetup.exe, and that might resolved the problem with the temp directory. 3. Perhaps rather than either method I should just pack the Managed DirectX components in the MOTA installer and forget about the rest. I'm not sure if there are any compatibility issues with doing this, but I do know the Microsoft license agreement frowns on doing this. On the good side though is you'll get the files with install. Any thoughts, suggestions, or comments? Thanks. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games
My personal special move was the first time I pulled off Akuma's raging demon in street fighter alpha 3. light punch, light punch, forward, low kick, hard punch. For anyone wanting to visualize who's experienced sony controllers, the input was square, square, forward, x, r1. That took me forever to master. Two months, give or take. My first fatality was an achievement as well, as well as another street fighter favorite of mine, fei long, and to pull off one of his kicks it's a half circle forward, up and forward plus a kick. That one took a couple months too. lol. - Original Message - From: "Constantine" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 5:54 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games Hi, I couldn't agree more here. I've said it again and again. USA games will be our next gen "console". I think that Che was our "PS2". Anyway, I agree with you there. A huge help, for some games at least, is gamefaqs.com. They have FAQS for almost all games - except, of course, some classics - which is my cup of tea. Oh, and there's a lot of memorization involved here, too. Memorizing menus, controler buttons, special moves - say left, high punch, low kick, etc. It can be quite frustrating. I'll never forget, though, when I did my first ever fatality and heard the doo doo doo! Music on mk3. I tried for days to master it.

For me, there's a big difference between totally accessible and playable with gaming, just as there's a difference between totally accessible and usable with other flavours of software. Mainstream games usually require a bit of extra work in that it's exceedingly rare to find a talking menue system, things like high scores usually aren't accessible to us, and there are a couple of genres that if I were generalising I'd classify as unplayable. All that said, there are a fair few VI gamers who don't mind that extra work and enjoy sharing their findings, so word tends to spread if a game is playable. Recently, I've realised that I have a completely different approach to gaming that depends on whether I'm playing a mainstream or an accessible title. When I'm playing mainstream titles it tends to all be quite lighthearted. The geek in me often can't resist digging that little bit deeper into special moves etc than perhaps I'd need too to finish a game, but that's a character trait. When I'm playing accessible games on the other hand, I find myself taking it a lot more seriously. I suppose this is because after years of playing mainstream titles that were playable for the fun of it, with a specialised title geared toward a VI player I've finally got control over every single option and I know that if there's any part of that game I can't master, it's not because I'm at any sort of disadvantage, it's simply down to the fact that someone has written a game that I can't beat yet. I think it's crucial that people (especially developers of accessible titles() have experience of both sides of the coin. It's because of this that you're now starting to see accessible titles with controller/mouse support, online play, unlockable content, and some of the other goodies that are pretty much standard stuff with mainstream titles. There's no getting away from the fact that some modern mainstream games are leaps and bounds ahead of what we've got in terms of complexity, but if you compare the budgets and man-hours spent on the creations of both industries that's hardly surprising. On the downside, we can't play some amazing mainstream titles, but on the upside that probably inspires developers of accessible titles to dig deep more than anything else. There's older and more seasoned gamers than me on this list as I'm only in my mid 20's, but from what I can tell, we seem to be moving forward at a faster rate than mainstream titles ever have. It was only a few years ago that every accessible game I encountered was too basic or too easy to hold my attention for long. Now I'm happy to say that I've bought copies of a few and spent way too much time enraged by them... in a good way of course. It's a bit of a ramble, but hope it helps in some way. Feel free to hit me back on or off list if there's anything I can expand upon or anything else I can do should In Touch want to run the feature. Cheers Scott On 2/27/09, Mani Djazmi wrote:

I play mainstream fighting games myself, and I agree with all the comments I've read on this list. I own an n64, super nintendo, ps1, 2 and ps3. the latest games I've acquired are Mortal Kombat VS.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA starting over when you die
Hi, Well, as of today's latest build of MOTA it now restores your position from a saved checkpoint rather than starting over from the beginning of the level. I have to confess this is actually much nicer as you are much closer to the point where you died, and resolves another miner issue I was having with the respaun code to begin with. As far as extra lives goes there is an extra life system in place. You just can't get them in the demo, because it is a limited demo.

I also think that lives should be taken into account when your score is counted up though, and there should be a way to get more lives during arcade mode. Maybe take the old ninja turtles game route and give you another life for x number of points dependant on the difficulty level? So like every 5000 points on beginner, 1 on intermediate, etc. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games
Hi, I couldn't agree more here. I've said it again and again. USA games will be our next gen "console". I think that Che was our "PS2". Anyway, I agree with you there. A huge help, for some games at least, is gamefaqs.com. They have FAQS for almost all games - except, of course, some classics - which is my cup of tea. Oh, and there's a lot of memorization involved here, too. Memorizing menus, controler buttons, special moves - say left, high punch, low kick, etc. It can be quite frustrating. I'll never forget, though, when I did my first ever fatality and heard the doo doo doo! Music on mk3. I tried for days to master it. And when I did, it seemed that I could do any sort of special move on mortal kombat. contact details: email: tcwoo...@shaw.ca and others msn: the_conman...@hotmail.com skype: the_conman283 system details: Hp pavillion dv5220CA notebook pc AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 2.0 GHZ, 1024 mb DDR ram, Fujitsu 100 gb 4500 RPM Hard Drive, connecsant AC-link audio - Original Message - From: "Scott Chesworth" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 11:40 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games Hi Mani, I'm not sure if it can be summed up quite so simply. For me, there's a big difference between totally accessible and playable with gaming, just as there's a difference between totally accessible and usable with other flavours of software. Mainstream games usually require a bit of extra work in that it's exceedingly rare to find a talking menue system, things like high scores usually aren't accessible to us, and there are a couple of genres that if I were generalising I'd classify as unplayable. All that said, there are a fair few VI gamers who don't mind that extra work and enjoy sharing their findings, so word tends to spread if a game is playable. Recently, I've realised that I have a completely different approach to gaming that depends on whether I'm playing a mainstream or an accessible title. When I'm playing mainstream titles it tends to all be quite lighthearted. The geek in me often can't resist digging that little bit deeper into special moves etc than perhaps I'd need too to finish a game, but that's a character trait. When I'm playing accessible games on the other hand, I find myself taking it a lot more seriously. I suppose this is because after years of playing mainstream titles that were playable for the fun of it, with a specialised title geared toward a VI player I've finally got control over every single option and I know that if there's any part of that game I can't master, it's not because I'm at any sort of disadvantage, it's simply down to the fact that someone has written a game that I can't beat yet. I think it's crucial that people (especially developers of accessible titles() have experience of both sides of the coin. It's because of this that you're now starting to see accessible titles with controller/mouse support, online play, unlockable content, and some of the other goodies that are pretty much standard stuff with mainstream titles. There's no getting away from the fact that some modern mainstream games are leaps and bounds ahead of what we've got in terms of complexity, but if you compare the budgets and man-hours spent on the creations of both industries that's hardly surprising. On the downside, we can't play some amazing mainstream titles, but on the upside that probably inspires developers of accessible titles to dig deep more than anything else. There's older and more seasoned gamers than me on this list as I'm only in my mid 20's, but from what I can tell, we seem to be moving forward at a faster rate than mainstream titles ever have. It was only a few years ago that every accessible game I encountered was too basic or too easy to hold my attention for long. Now I'm happy to say that I've bought copies of a few and spent way too much time enraged by them... in a good way of course. It's a bit of a ramble, but hope it helps in some way. Feel free to hit me back on or off list if there's anything I can expand upon or anything else I can do should In Touch want to run the feature.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games
Hi I'm a classic gamer myself. I think I'm one in 100 because there doesn't seem to be much interest here. Anyway, onto my report - I'll make this as detailed as I can, sorta. Well, to start off with, I own a sega genesis, soon to own a sega cd, 3do and dreamcast - I also own a n64, and gamecube. Sega Genesis: Well, this heres pretty obvious - the 16 bit lovable genesis released in 1989. Anyway, the best beat-em-up ever is Streets of rage. Its one of my all time favorite games - and while I can't beat it, I can get to level 4 pretty easy - I made it to level 5 once, but that was by luck. If I practiced enough, I could beat it - but I get enough enjoyment out of it that beating it doesn't matter to me. Mortal kombat 1, 2, and 3 - Well, fighting. Nothing talks, but I don't care. I'm slowly learning all the moves. I love mk 3, though, its got the coolest music, and my favorite MK character of all - nightwolf! Sega CD: This heres an add on to the genesis. Its got the same color pallit - but better sound, more storage space - which means more things talk and more accessibility is here... Mortal Kombat for this system wasn't widely recognized. Bad graphics. Jesus. Who cares about graphics! Its basically MK1 for the genesis revamped to have characters names spoken, and music from the arcade version. The most horrible thing here though is the load times. Nearly 30 seconds between each fight. If you do a fatality, you have to wait about a second before it actually does it.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games
Hi, This is a tricky one because it depends on your definition of accessible. For example, a lot of these games that are available for blind people to play, are not accessible or not so accessible to people who are lets say deaf blind. So firstly it's important to accurately define who these games are accessible for. In the majority of cases, you would need to be able to hear what you are doing in order to play the game, just as a sighted person would need their vision to be able to play the mainstream game. Or what I would consider to be mainstream. Now having said that, there are some games out there, that by accident, not design, are playable to various degrees whether you are totally blind or if you have some vision. There are some games out there which has already been said, that do require visual input as it were. For example, the x series of games from http://www.egosoft.com. Now I have only 10% vision in the left eye, and only light perception in the right. Yet I can fly the various ships within those games, tell them where to go, trade and fight. The thing that bugs me with these games, is that they have a pretty good audio system in the game, but they haven't made full use of it. At least not enough where by people like myself can play it. Now even if they did that, a totally blind person couldn't fly the ship or even fly it into combat and get out alive. But because of the fact that I can see, if only a little, a fully integrated audio system would go a long way towards making those games and games like it accessible. Now on the blind friendly games side of things, there isn't a game unfortunately that even comes close to this series of games, which I have followed and played avidly for 10 years now. Which I think is very sad because this is my favourite type of game. Whilst Thomas has said and quite accurately that the street fighter games and such are probably the most accessible form of game to play, that may be true but stuff like that just doesn't work for me for very long because that's not what I want. I used to play the origional Elite back in the 80's when I was 10 so that gives you an idea as to what type of gamer I am. And unfortunately nothing even remotely like the most simplistic forms of space sim has even come out on this community. So something like the x series of games from egosoft I would dearly love to see created. But all is not lost. There are online, web based games out there that people can play. I play 1 such game, http://www.war-facts.com. This is an online, empire building type of space game where by you start off on a planet with a single colony and you go out into the universe of over 10 star systems and well over 100 planets to colonise, explore, or conker depending on who's on it. This game hasn't been designed at all for blind persons to play, yet it is completely accessible thanks to some tweaking I have been suggesting to the developers over the years. They have listened and as such acted. It's what's kept me going back since 2004. and paying to go premium because I like the game. I wouldn't give my money if I didn't. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Mani Djazmi Sent: 27 February 2009 16:11 To: gamers@audyssey.org Subject: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games Hi, my name's Mani Djazmi and I'm a reporter on the In Touch programme at BBC Radio 4 in England.

Well, the RB and GH guitars are much easier to strum. Pressing enter for strumming and than F1-F5 for frets isn't all that simple. Besides, I don't know where the programmer of this program on the easier difficulty's programmed it to where you're using four frets, because you're only supposed to use three, if it's a true port. On hard and expert, it's five. And what I gather from playing Medium also goes into double frets. Easy does this too but not as much. I've completed songs before on expert and I'll say it's pretty easy to know what frets are what if you listen carefuly to the song and you listen for what notes are played. In a note goes high than it switches perhaps two notes down the scale, it's most likely going to be a lower fret. I've only encountered one song where this isn't the case. In addition, the strumming is faster. I may have to give this a look and see if on the easier difficulty's the strumming is accounted for, as you don't have to strum as fast on easy than Medium, and so on. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Chess Games
One of the best tools for the blind to learn chess that I have come across is the Hadley School. They offer a correspondence course in either braille or on audio cassettes for beginners. After you complete this course, if interested, they offer a more advanced course in the same formats. Each comes with a set of braille diagrams as part of the study material. You learn at your own pace, and the instructor is patient and friendly. The courses come with everything you need, even a chess set adapted for blind players that is very nice with the course for beginners. After completing these courses, you can keep the study materials for future reference. Offhand, I don't recall the web address, although I'm certain that you can find it using your favorite search engine. --- If guns cause crime, pencils cause misspelled words. - Original Message - From: "william lomas" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Friday, February 27, 2009 9:18 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Chess Games I am currently learning the game of chess, it sounds a fascinating game to get in to.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games
hello Mani and all. For my self I have not tried any of the mainstream games like ones for the ps3 or ps2 so can't speak to there accessibility. I do enjoy playing games for the blind though like shades of doom from game games, and other first person shooter type games. I know that there are others on this list though who have tried mainstream games and can play them quite fine. well these are my thoughts. from Mich Verrier from New Liskeard Ontario Canada. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games
Hi Mani, I'm not sure if it can be summed up quite so simply. For me, there's a big difference between totally accessible and playable with gaming, just as there's a difference between totally accessible and usable with other flavours of software. Mainstream games usually require a bit of extra work in that it's exceedingly rare to find a talking menue system, things like high scores usually aren't accessible to us, and there are a couple of genres that if I were generalising I'd classify as unplayable. All that said, there are a fair few VI gamers who don't mind that extra work and enjoy sharing their findings, so word tends to spread if a game is playable. Recently, I've realised that I have a completely different approach to gaming that depends on whether I'm playing a mainstream or an accessible title. When I'm playing mainstream titles it tends to all be quite lighthearted. The geek in me often can't resist digging that little bit deeper into special moves etc than perhaps I'd need too to finish a game, but that's a character trait. When I'm playing accessible games on the other hand, I find myself taking it a lot more seriously. I suppose this is because after years of playing mainstream titles that were playable for the fun of it, with a specialised title geared toward a VI player I've finally got control over every single option and I know that if there's any part of that game I can't master, it's not because I'm at any sort of disadvantage, it's simply down to the fact that someone has written a game that I can't beat yet. I think it's crucial that people (especially developers of accessible titles() have experience of both sides of the coin. It's because of this that you're now starting to see accessible titles with controller/mouse support, online play, unlockable content, and some of the other goodies that are pretty much standard stuff with mainstream titles. There's no getting away from the fact that some modern mainstream games are leaps and bounds ahead of what we've got in terms of complexity, but if you compare the budgets and man-hours spent on the creations of both industries that's hardly surprising. On the downside, we can't play some amazing mainstream titles, but on the upside that probably inspires developers of accessible titles to dig deep more than anything else. There's older and more seasoned gamers than me on this list as I'm only in my mid 20's, but from what I can tell, we seem to be moving forward at a faster rate than mainstream titles ever have. It was only a few years ago that every accessible game I encountered was too basic or too easy to hold my attention for long. Now I'm happy to say that I've bought copies of a few and spent way too much time enraged by them... in a good way of course. It's a bit of a ramble, but hope it helps in some way. Feel free to hit me back on or off list if there's anything I can expand upon or anything else I can do should In Touch want to run the feature.

Re: [Audyssey] Accessible Mainstream Games
Hi Mani, Yes, that is pretty close to the truth. There are a few mainstream games, mostly in the fighting genre, that are accessible, but by and large most mainstream games aren't very accessible at all. That is why we have a very active community of blind game developers that write audio based games for the community. Some are free and some are commercially driven. Since you asked for mainstream games as I said above it largely appears like games in the hand to hand fighting genre such as Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, etc can be fairly accessible after the blind gamer practices and memorizes how to play the game. Also the WWE wrestling games such as WWE Smack down VS Raw series is fairly playable once the blind gamer gets use to listening to the various sounds, learns the moves, and does a lot of practice with it other games very depending on how much sight is required to play it.. In all cases a blind gamer has to write down or memorize things like menu layout, which buttons do what, as well as get familiar with what sounds mean what. So even if a mainstream game is playable it still takes a fair amount of practice, memorization, and learning to get any good with it.

Hi Tom, I installed the net framework, and the Direct x files, and then installed mota into the usa games interactive folder. I already have stfc in there as well. Stfc seems to work fine (although I am not sure if the echo effect for the voice is intentional or not, if it is intentional, it is kind of annoying). Anyway, I click on Mota and I get the nice theme music and some credits, and then the voice says select menu item. From there I can not go any further. I can use the alt f4 keys to turn off the program, but I can not use any function keys nor the cursor keys to try to move to other menu items. The keys still give me my usual sound feedback, but nothing else pertaining to the game. I use jaws 8.0, dell laptop (I use a USB keyboard with it), I am well over the hardware requirements, and I have windows xp pro with SP3. As a side note, I like the User's manual for Mota being a web manual instead of being a text document. It made reading the manual much easier. al --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients wont wurk.
I ran the game on an Asus Netbook, EeePC904HA with a 1.6 GHZ processor, and 2 GB of RAM. I had to update the direct-x, and it ran like a charm. Thought you would like to know.

Hi jimmy, Then, I haven't a clue why it is crashing. It runs on 99% of systems fairly stable so the only way I am going to resolve your issue if you can write down the specific error message and e-mail it to me. FYI, you might want to wait for version Beta 2 which has a number of bug fixes currently fixed or in the process of being fixed right now. My change log is growing quite large, and wo it may be possible Beta 2 might run more stable on your system next time round. If not I definitely need to see that error message.

hi Ron. well, let's see. where you don't understood in the game? did you figured out how the menus work with my explanation? the idea in the musics are to you go into the training mode, then use the keys a s j k (in the guitar) and try to know how to play then (i.e) certain key pressed at certain time. so, you will need train some times to know how to play all the song. but i don't know where you are having difficulty, so explain it better, and i'll do my best to help ya.

Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks was: Mota demo, my thoughts
Hi Dark, Yeah, it has been something I've wanted to work on for a while, but never took the time to really look into. However, now that the beta is out and people are flooding my inbox to do this and that it seams I should get this done fairly soon as the game needs to have this resolved to make the game more enjoyable for all. As for the audio output I'm glad you like it. This is a totally different gaming engine, in fact, it is a modified Genesis 3D Engine so it has a lot of the good stuff to power the game. Montezuma's Revenge on the other hand was primarily a port of James Norths game from VB 6 to C#, and then whatever features I added to it. dark wrote: Hi tom. I'll be looking forward to the possibility of a dodge move, sinse imho the damage per second system where you just automatically take damage as you hit the creature has several problems. When I said "dodge" i did mean that, ie, having to move around, duck and possibly jump, provided that there is always a possibility of avoiding enemy attacks if your good enough with your controls. I've noticed that the sterrio panning of game elements in Mota is much more precise than it was in Monti (presumably down to all your engine debugging), which is why I thought such a dodge system might be workable.

Re: [Audyssey] Avoiding attacks was: Mota demo, my thoughts
Hi, I'm not saying your idea is a bad one, but I have no plans to add a sword to sword combat system in MOTA at this time. I love realism as best as the next guy, but I also have to begin thinking priorities too. I have pretty much decided June is the cut off date for development on this game, and I'm going to do everything possible to meet that goal. In order to do that I simply can't include every single end user suggestion, desired feature, etc and make it on time. I've still got 9 levels to do, and instead of working on that I have myself buried under a long list of requests and bug fixes for the next week or two. I'll work on bug fixes and as many end user suggestions as I rreasonably can. After that though I want to just get it done and over with. Smile. Clement Chou wrote: On that thought, maybe not. but swords could still be used for the occasional perry, could they not? But because of her guessed stature from the rope-climbing and all, I'd say make it one or two blocks dependent on the strength of the enemy, as in the beat em up sengoku. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Mysteries of the Ancients wont wurk.
Hi jimmy, Then, I haven't a clue why it is crashing. It runs on 99% of systems fairly stable so the only way I am going to resolve your issue if you can write down the specific error message and e-mail it to me. FYI, you might want to wait for version Beta 2 which has a number of bug fixes currently fixed or in the process of being fixed right now. My change log is growing quite large, and wo it may be possible Beta 2 might run more stable on your system next time round. If not I definitely need to see that error message.

yeah you can, I tried to run it but the menus did not seem to speak. I pushed a few keys and then the system locked and I had to reboot. After which I killed the game. You can download other musics, but there are page errors in the site its not really up to scratch, some frame or another or a few are busted and I will get page not found errors along with the actual site in ie6.

no, just the menus that wrap and wen playing, the music normal just like rb and gh. but i explained the menus now, there's a more advanced version of the game, but it don't got me interested, the only things that it have is a solo mode that you need play a music without a single error, and the crazy mode that comes with musics, with random nots, from easy to hard. -Mensagem original- De: william lomas Para: Gamers Discussion list Data: Sexta, 27 de Fevereiro de 2009 10:28 Assunto: Re: [Audyssey] a game for pc, based on guitar hero and rock band. does the game talk or just have the music to play On 27 Feb 2009, at 10:26, Matheus wrote: > hi. > yes, you need turn your screen reader first before running the game, > or > disable it in the game, i don't know. > i don't have problems with it, cause i'm using another screen reader. > but that's maybe the problem. > > -Mensagem original- > De: Scott Chesworth > Para: Gamers Discussion list > Data: Sexta, 27 de Fevereiro de 2009 04:49 > Assunto: Re: [Audyssey] a game for pc, based on guitar hero and rock > band. > > James, > > If you haven't already, make sure your screen reader is either killed > or at least in some form of sleep/standby.

Re: [Audyssey] a game for pc, based on guitar hero and rock band.
Ah ok, if frets on fire runs slow then Rage is probably what I'll stick too, especially considering it's portable. One thing - as far as I could tell from a look at FoF's documentation, enter key is for strumming-picking, so it gives your right hand some work to do and makes coordination between both hands important like on a real guitar. It's cool that Rage has a feature to disable it for one handed players or maybe people with less dexterity, and it also gives us one less thing to think about when we're trying to figure out a new song I guess, but dude if you have fully functioning limbs, practice using it and I can promise it'll add a new level of challenge to the game for you. Wonder if it'd be a big job to get this translated into english? I suck at playing the drum layout that comes as standard, need to have my right hand working on hats and cymbals, left thumb on kick and my left fingers for snares/toms.
