Re: [Audyssey] Entombed Query
well its been a long road jayson. I myself am proud with the fact I and others have managed to get this far with a project like that. Though I will be sorry when we're finnished. this thing has taken the best part of the last 2 years to preduce and well once its done. At 04:12 p.m. 9/10/2009, you wrote: I'm finishing up the engine with Entombed right now and working on more content. It will go to beta soon. As for the actual release, I'm not sure. Some of the new content is fairly complex - like new spells, but it will go faster than the majority of the alpha. I'm hoping to have the next alpha version ready by the end of October, but I'm not sure yet. The first beta version will follow that and will focus on stability issues. Then hopefully it'll be release time! Cheers! Jason --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] entombed...what the heck? rofl
So I finished my first round with the game, and started a second character...I was wandering around, killing goblins and all of a sudden, a mob came in and I fool you not, the mob's my first char...and worst of all, she's got all my first char's stats and eqs...my new char was dead the first round rofl... Wondering if that's a bug or some humorous move on the maker's part. And by the way, anyone know how I'd register on to the entombed list without having to go through the pain of opening a gmail account?

[Audyssey] what I like for entombed
One thing I notice is that the sounds are limitted...it'd be very nice to have separate sounds based on spells/moves/weapons, so an arrow would sounds different than a sword. Also, I've noticed the swords and arrows are very powerful, while clubs and staffs are rather weak when compared...might wanna balance that a bit? Also it'd be nice if our 'found team mates' can be of different genders, or at least, with a different vocalization so not the whole group, cept the pet, sound alike. I am really looking forward to seeing more spells...the lightning is getting a bit old, even though it is very cool. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

No, it's not a bug. If your character dies they come back to haunt you as a zombi. You think you've got problems!

Re: [Audyssey] roling bolders in mota?
It could be like that old NES game StarTropics if anybody on list has ever heard of it. There were a lot of elements taken from Indiana Jones and similar stories, arrow traps, spontaneous earthquakes that you had to jump to get away from and, in pride of place, an invincible enemy called a Megaton. This was basically little more than a giant bowling ball that had its own corridor to itself and would roll up and down the hall when you got to it, obviously trying to crush you. And of course unlike a lot of the other traps, which would just hurt you if you touched them, touching a Megaton meant instant death, sort of like those earthquakes I mentioned earlier. The trick was to move along the hall and hide in little alcoves that were spaced along the wall. There were only three Megatons in the entire game and the third of them was actually inteligent to a degree, not to mention fast. That meant that you couldn't just run and hide from it and actually had to strike it with your weapon when it got close to you, which would freeze it in place momentarily and give you a chance to get away. But I imagine something like that might be hard to render in audio alone. Homer: Hey, uh, could you go across the street and get me a slice of pizza? Vender: No pizza.

And when I get up in the morning I will get up extra early to go on the computer before work to twitter and check mail. The computer is my life, although I cannot write code I use it in other ways.

Hey, maybe I'm just weird but if I were a plumber and loved my job I would call my wife during the day and tell her to block the toilets and sinks so I could come home and fix them. If you really love your job you would want to do it at home and at work and all the time and it would be fun fun fun! And then you could take breaks and go on vacation for a week or so and do other fun things then ccome back to your fun job! When I start my job as an access technology trainer I think I will enjoy it so much I will want to do it until I'm 90 or more. Teaching people to use computers is fun and fixing them is fun and testing new software is fun! And ssince it is so much fun for me I am going to ask my employer if I can have extra work to do at home because my work will be fun fun fun for me me me yayayayaaya! yes work is fun!

Re: [Audyssey] what I like for entombed
Since we're on the subject of Entombed hopefuls...my hope is that there is involvement with the gods similar to Nethack, so that you can pray at altars and have things happen like get weapons blessed, combat bonuses and other goodies. And who wouldn't kill for a wand of wishing? --Bill - Original Message - From: Johnny Tai johnnyti...@shaw.ca To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 12:33 AM Subject: [Audyssey] what I like for entombed One thing I notice is that the sounds are limitted...it'd be very nice to have separate sounds based on spells/moves/weapons, so an arrow would sounds different than a sword. Also, I've noticed the swords and arrows are very powerful, while clubs and staffs are rather weak when compared...might wanna balance that a bit? Also it'd be nice if our 'found team mates' can be of different genders, or at least, with a different vocalization so not the whole group, cept the pet, sound alike.

Re: [Audyssey] l-works
I used to think like you. However that was when I was in my twenties. I'm not sure how old you are, but without making an assumption, I imagine you are quite younger than me. While I see where you are coming from with this statement, there is the possibility of burn out. And if you reach burn out level, trust me, you won't care about the computer. have you or anyone else wondered why I stopped doing ACB Radio 80's music shows, why I stopped doing as much gaming as I used to? It's because I was doing all that, plus trying to spend time with my wife and kids and I was getting burned out. So now I have an even balance and I've prioritized on what I want to spend time on. Sure I use Twitter and Facebook. Sure I play games still and on occasion do some recordings. But in addition to working over 50 hours per week on a slow week, I still find time to spend with my kids and family. It's meant that I've had to cut way back on some of the things I wanted to do and some things I don't do at all any more, but the rewards are worth it. So just some thoughts on a Friday morning.

[Audyssey] seeking very basic chess instructions
Hi folks, I'm trying to get bakc in to playing chess after being away from it for quite some time. Is there somewhere I can download a very, very basic chess manual or instructions. I'm not looking for fancy strategies at this point, just something in plain English that I can quickly use to remind myself of basic chess moves, which pieces can move which ways, etc. Also, is there anywhere, and with any program preferably free or an extremly low cost, that a totally blind person can play chess online with others?

Re: [Audyssey] seeking very basic chess instructions
Some questions for you in order to get you started playing again: What screen reader do you use? If it is JAWS, I can send you a free chess program that you can play against, as well as connect to the Internet to play against others, although I have not tried this feature out as of yet. Do you have an adapted chess set for blind people to use, rather than having to use speech to explore a chess board during the game? I can also help you, probably one on one, as to which pieces move where and the basic rules of the game. Or, there is a totally free correspondence course, either on audio cassettes or in braille, available from the Hadley School for the Blind.

Hi Charles, I used Jaws, and I do have an adaptive chess set. In fact, I got the chess set from the Hadley School, but I lost the other basic course materials due to water damage years ago.

Re: [Audyssey] Entombed Query
Hi, Oh, I'd say Entombed has a long long ways to go before it sees a 1.0 stable release. Not surprising really seeing as it is a difficult genre of game to program given the amount of programming and development involved. The thing to keep in mind is that whoever said it would be ready by fall of 2009 was only speculating at a release date, and apparently underestimated the time involved in creating the game. Cheers!

The same thing happened with Castle Quest before the game was scrapped. Justin initially said it would be out in fall of 2004 or something along those lines.

Re: [Audyssey] l-works
Hi, As has been said before there really is such a thing as too much of a good thing. When you are young, something is brand new to you, it is easy to get caught up in the moment. It seams easy to believe you will always feel the enthusiasm, excitement, and absolute pleasure you feel when first working on something you enjoy. I know all too well what it feels like when taking those first steps towards something you always wanted to do, and I know what it feels like after it burns out like an old candle. It is often hard to believe that something like that can happen, but it does if you aren't careful. When I was 19 I began attending Wright State University in Dayton Ohio. At that time I knew I really wanted to become a programmer. As you might have guessed my main reason was I wanted to create accessible games I could play, but I was happy enough to write ordinary software too. The first time I wrote a simple program in C++ I was over the moon. It wasn't long after that I wrote a few simple text based games in C++, and I was crazy about programming. I was willing and ready to program anything and everything I could. So what happened? Well, after college it didn't take me long to discover the kind of programming that really pays you money is pretty boring and dull stuff like databases to keep track of employee records, programs to generate reports, a web site for some church/company, whatever. All and all it can be fairly dull and ordinary work. Certainly not the glorious and exciting profession I once believed it to be. So in 2004 I began seriously writing accessible games. That was exciting, interesting at first, and I enjoyed it for a while. However, after I took over the games from Alchemy, I began to lose the excitement in the thing. There are several reasons why I'm not quite as excited as I once was about writing accessible games. First, as with any kind of job where you deal with the public there is lots of stress involved. People have complained they want their money back because the game is taking too long to create. People complain they don't like this or that about the game. People continuously request feature x they feel should be in the game and currently isn't. Some people complain the game costs too much. Needless to say practically from the first day I took over the games I've had to put up with a lot of needless wining, nagging, and complaining that I didn't want or ask for. Second, the pay down right sucks. I don't write these games precisely for money, mainly for the enjoyment of it, but it doesn't hurt to pay the developer something for his time and money spent working on said game. I have sounds and music to pay for. I have to cover operating expenses such as a web server, web site, whatever. When you deduct operating expenses as well as taxes I don't end up with a whole heck of a lot for my time. If that wasn't bad enough there is always a few jerks out there who will happily hack and crack said game and pass it around to their fellow hacker buddies. They might as well walk up to me and flip me the bird for the amount of respect they show me. Finally, I've given up a lot of my personal time to see that Mysteries of the Ancients and Raceway get done in something like a timely manner. Working on those games day in and day out instead of watching tv, playing my guitar, going swimming with the family, etc is a major drain on me emotionally and physically. No matter how much I loved programming before I'm beginning to go just a bit crazy sitting in front of a computer 24/7 without getting involved with some outside interests that aren't computer related. I still love computers, still like programming, but I don't want to be chained to it like a prisoner with a ball and chain. As soon as Mysteries of the Ancients is done I'm going to take some serious time away from the computer to indulge myself in non-computer enjoyments. I need time away from the computer to recharge my batteries, to think about new projects, and to hopefully regain some of the excitement and energy i had for writing accessible games to begin with. The moral of this story is simply this. Chasing the perfect job is like chasing the perfect girl. The guy who dreams of getting a woman that looks like Pamela Anderson will in all likelihood end up with some average ordinary looking chick who lives around town. It is easy to get burned out, lose sight of your excitement and enthusiasm, because real life isn't like your dreams. The bright eyed programmer who dreamed of creating the next best selling video game probably will in likelihood find a job managing some companies web site, MySQL database, or creating report writing programs. If he writes games on the side that is alright, but only the best of the best get hired to mainstream game companies. That reality has a way of shooting your dreams right in the foot, and it is wise to keep that in

Re: [Audyssey] seeking very basic chess instructions
Hello Anne. It won't let you bplay online against someone, but in all other respects spoonbill software's chess program is exactly what your looking for. It comes with comprehensive rules and move lists, and you can play against the computer. it's also absolutely free! I believe Thom ward has currently got it hosted on his site at http://www.usagamesinteractive.com/, but you can also go directly to the developer's website at http://www.omninet.net.au/~irhumph/blindgamers.htm and send him an E-mail requesting the game, he apparently enjoys talking to players which is why he does things this way. You can also check out his other games there (I personally do rather like his Cribbage, hearts and Uno games). His stuff is also free. if you want something more in the manner of a chess analiser, coach, and board layout printer, you can also try the Kchess programs from http://www.arkangles.com/ These aren't free, but come with many more features than Ian Humphries, pluss are probably better in terms of teaching you the game. You can't play online with them, but you could send attachments directly from the program to other players and thus play by E-mail or chat program. Hth. Beware the grue! Dark. Hth. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] seeking very basic chess instructions
Wow! the Americans are once again proved much ahead of England in terms of Vi acdcess. I had to pay an exorbitant price for an adapted chess set which came with no materials at all. Also, while the pieces are very tactile, the contrast on them is horrible! It's more like slightly light brown vs rather darker brown than black and white, which is really annoying if I want to use my vision as well. I've certainly seen better adapted chess sets than this, but once again showing the Rnib's inherent stupidity, this is the only chess set they sell! Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Entombed Query
It is funny, when i started looking into audiogames I sort of had a sense that the main developers were Bsc, Gma, Lworks, Draconis and Vip gameszone.

Re: [Audyssey] seeking very basic chess instructions
That's one thing I like about the set we get from Hadley. THe black pieces have a nailhead sticking out of the top of them so they can be easily distinguished from the white. Then of course they come in two separate little ziplock bags. I'm not a very skilled chess player yet though even after three years. Problem is I'm not a very strategic thinker.

This doesn't just make it irritating for me visually, but also it's pants if I wish to play against a fully sited person. I'm all for sets accessible for totally blind players, but does this mean we have to exclude the sense of site entirely? There are afterall quite a lot of people who play chess who are fairly keen on using it. Beware the grue!

THe black pieces have a nailhead sticking out of the top of them so they can be easily distinguished from the white. Then of course they come in two separate little ziplock bags. I'm not a very skilled chess player yet though even after three years. Problem is I'm not a very strategic thinker. That's partly why I don't play games like World of Warcraft or even Sound RTS.

I had to pay an exorbitant price for an adapted chess set which came with no materials at all. Also, while the pieces are very tactile, the contrast on them is horrible! It's more like slightly light brown vs rather darker brown than black and white, which is really annoying if I want to use my vision as well. I've certainly seen better adapted chess sets than this, but once again showing the Rnib's inherent stupidity, this is the only chess set they sell! Beware the grue!

If it is JAWS, I can send you a free chess program that you can play against, as well as connect to the Internet to play against others, although I have not tried this feature out as of yet. Do you have an adapted chess set for blind people to use, rather than having to use speech to explore a chess board during the game? I can also help you, probably one on one, as to which pieces move where and the basic rules of the game. Or, there is a totally free correspondence course, either on audio cassettes or in braille, available from the Hadley School for the Blind. All course materials are yours to keep after you complete the course, including a very nice adapted chess set. --- Shepherds are the best beasts. - Original Message - From: Ann Tate tate...@gmail.com To: Gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 8:33 AM Subject: [Audyssey] seeking very basic chess instructions Hi folks, I'm trying to get bakc in to playing chess after being away from it for quite some time. Is there somewhere I can download a very, very basic chess manual or instructions. I'm not looking for fancy strategies at this point, just something in plain English that I can quickly use to remind myself of basic chess moves, which pieces can move which ways, etc. Also, is there anywhere, and with any program preferably free or an extremly low cost, that a totally blind person can play chess online with others?

Re: [Audyssey] Entombed Query
Ooopse! forgot about jim there! Then again, when I started playing accessible games I had a narrower deffinition of what a computer game actually was, and it wouldn't have occurred to me to count something like computerized versions of board or card games for some very odd reason. I now of course know better, but I agree Tom. I'm not a huge fan of E-mail heckling or petitions, but maybe some sort of contact from the community to Justin would be vaguely in order, sinse we certainly miss the in put of new games, and even Liam, who has a coding job has proved that development and jobs aren't mutually exclusive, even if developement does have to slow down somewhat.

I started playing accessible games earlier than you, and back when I started there was ESP, GMA, BSC, Jim Kitchen, and a couple of others. Well, in that time I've seen a lot of developers and potential developers come and go. ESP has been turned over to Draconis, BSC hasn't produced anything really new in years, L-Works and Blind Adrenaline has started up, PCS and GMA are still going at it now and then, and so on.It is constantly changing, but those I thought who were th leaders back then, like BSC, aren't really producing any more. Oh, there have been updated versions of their games for Windows Vista, foreign language versions, but beyond that not anything really new. I understand since as you say Justin has a job, but still a bit disappointing to see one of our better game companies just stop producing new titles. dark wrote: It is funny, when i started looking into audiogames I sort of had a sense that the main developers were Bsc, Gma, Lworks, Draconis and Vip gameszone. Now, two of those have virtually dropped off the map as far as new games go. I admit, i could be (and hope I am), surprised again, --- as I have been on several occasions when a games company i thought wasn't working anymore have pulled something great out of the bag, like Gma and vip mud, or indeed (much as it pains me to admit it), Usa games when Tom first released a stable version of stfc. In all the time i've been playing audiogames though sinse 2006, Bsc games have only made one rellease, and that was troopanum 2 in Spanish. While I admit only a short time ago I'd have probably said the same thing about Gma, It does seem Bsc games have vanished a bith. while I understand Justin has a job, it is rather a shame that there's absolutely no! way he can develope games at all, even if at a slower pace the way people like Liam (and indeed Jason of Entombed), are doing currently. the stuff they developed was top of the range a few years ago, now though, I'd have to say in terms of commercial companies their being slightly superseeded by the work of people like Che martin and Liam. That's why though I'd love to see another release from them, --- to up the anti a bit more.

Re: [Audyssey] work and games
I must admit, it's something which I like the idea of. The notion of writing a set of logical rules as ontology which then has noticeable effects is really quite appealing. Were I not already trying to write a Phd thesis, not to mention various hobbies including writing other things, fairly serious performing and light opera, and indeed playing games, I'd certainly have a stab at learning. Maybe in a few years when and If i finish my phd I stil might try. Oh btw, a friend of mine is a professional web designer and did an msc in computing. I've had many discussions with him about programming concepts so I am vaguely aware that it's not something which can be learnt over night. Beware the Grue!

Yeah, despie all of the issues, complications, etc involved the number one reason Icontinue writing games, press forward, is because I jenuinely enjoy programming the games. I like figuring out the code how to do this or that, solving bugs, figuring out different ways to approach the problem, etc. Like anything else it has its own rewards provided you can get passed end user complaints, copyright issues, whatever.
