Re: [Audyssey] Developer time was: My Opinion of Q9
Well tom, it is a weapon that's always confused me a litle, hence my desire for a spear, and even more my desire for a spear with history. the ability to be upgraded in game isn't limited to whip's though. following the same castlevania model you could start out with a short wooden spear, then get a metal spear, then a long metal pike for bigger range, though you could always play even more with the idea. suppose for instance, it was a holy spear which could both grow and extend your reach, and have it's tip transmute into harder and harder substances depending upon how many of a given power up, like a crusifix you found. it could start with Iron, move on to steel, move on to obsidian, silver (not realistically a good material for spear tips but has magical associations), obsidian and finally diamond. there is also a more practical advantage. just like in super Castlevania you'd need different sounds for each level of whip, --- because obviously swinging leather and swinging chain sound vastly different. A spear however, whatever it's tip was made from and however long it's shaft, would probably sound pretty similar whatever happened, all you'd need is for Sapi to speak how powered up your spear was as needed. Beware the grue!

I guess the only question is how much like true Castlevania do we want to go with this remake. Personally I don't have a problem giving our hero a spear, stake, or some other special vampire weapon instead of a whip, but the whip is very classic Castlevania. Without the whip it would be missing a core element of the game. As you pointed out yourself perhaps the best part of the whip is that you could upgrade it with a more powerful whip until you got the long chain whip. That was definitely one of the better weapons in the game, and gave you a lot of attack range and could dispatch monsters quickly. Although, as we both said killing Dracula with a chain whip is pretty unrealistic and strange. So using something else might be better story wise. dark wrote: Indeed tom, I have a copy of the stories to both Super castlevania and original nes castlevania kicking around somewhere. Sinse however you can't use either the Belmonts, the vampire killer whip or the castlvania name, why not take the oppertunity to give your hero a more realistic vampire slaying weapon, My suggestion would be a biblically significant spear, but there are plenty of other things you could choose which would imho make more sense than the whip. Btw, if I remember rightly the whip's actual material changed with power ups, it started as lether, then after the player collected five weapon hearts became chain and correspondingly more powerful, and after another ten would become a long chain morning star with lots of reach. beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Developer time was: My Opinion of Q9
Indeed tom, I have a copy of the stories to both Super castlevania and original nes castlevania kicking around somewhere. Sinse however you can't use either the Belmonts, the vampire killer whip or the castlvania name, why not take the oppertunity to give your hero a more realistic vampire slaying weapon, My suggestion would be a biblically significant spear, but there are plenty of other things you could choose which would imho make more sense than the whip. Btw, if I remember rightly the whip's actual material changed with power ups, it started as lether, then after the player collected five weapon hearts became chain and correspondingly more powerful, and after another ten would become a long chain morning star with lots of reach. beware the grue!

He enters Dracula's castle, Castlevania, in order to slay Dracula. Of course before he can do that he has to fight all kinds of monsters before he reaches Dracula. I haven't sat down and thought much about the game's story, weapons, etc but for copyright reasons obviously it won't exactly be the Castlevaniawe know.

Re: [Audyssey] Developer time was: My Opinion of Q9
I know the weapon has always been a whip, I've also got the Nes classics addition of original Castlevania for the gameboy advanced, so have seen it in the very first game. Nevertheless, sinse tom cannot use either the name castlevania, the belmont family, or! the vampire killer whip (though that name might not be copywrited), why not make a virtue out of necessity and include a weapon with some decent, real world biblical significance. beware the Grue! dark. - Original Message - From: "Ryan Strunk" To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 11:39 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Developer time was: My Opinion of Q9 The reason for the whip was that it was the chosen weapon of the Belmonts.

As it happens I have plans to do a good audio Castlevania as soon as I can get Mysteries of the Ancients completed. The main hangup is finding high quality halloween and horror sounds to do the game justice. Plus I am looking for some nice halloween theme music to give it that truly dark and ominous feeling while exploring Dracula's castle. Part of me wanted to do an FPS version, but I wouldn't mind doing a side-scroller version as the original games were that way. The best part of it is that all of the monsters are in the public domain. So the only copyrights that really apply is the name --- which can easily be changed --- and the music --- which I don't really need. dark wrote: Hi tom. sounds great, though I'd probably have to annotate several faqs in order to play it successfully.

Re: [Audyssey] Developer time was: My Opinion of Q9
The reason for the whip was that it was the chosen weapon of the Belmonts. It was a blessed whip called the vampire killer. Even before games like Super Castlevania where you could swing on things with it, it was a whip. Not sure why, but I think separating the Belmont family from their trusty whip would be a sad thing indeed. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 4:46 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Developer time was: My Opinion of Q9 funny tom, I'm actually replaying super castlevania on the snes at the moment myself (though currently I'm rather stuck on the 7th world, too many blasted axe knights!).

Re: [Audyssey] help
Hi. yep, you are missing a depenndency. Vista has that dependency, windows7 doesn't. I had the same problem. when you upgraded desktop to win7 from vista, it kept the vista stuff installed, which means you were already set and ready to go. You're still missing some sort of dependency for win7. Just not sure what to tell you it is. I'd say try installing dotnet framework 3.5, make sure you have visual c++ installed, check you got the latest version of direct x. - Original Message - From: Brandon Misch To: Gamers Discussion list Sent: Friday, November 13, 2009 4:13 PM Subject: [Audyssey] help ahey all. tried installing intoomed from blind-games thinking that would fix the issue of older games not working and it didn't fix anything. weird thing is the older stuff is working fine on my desktop whitch is also windows 7 but upgraded from vista. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

If it works on a netbook, that's good, but I'd be surprised if it's as smooth as its intended to be. This is for the simple reason that many netbooks are too slow to support the game. I've been told that version 1.0.1 works better on netbooks, but it's really a hit and miss situation. I would not recommend netbooks but of course I will still doo my best to make the game use as little processing power as possible, one thing that I worked on for 1.0.1.

Yup.

Re: [Audyssey] q9 on netbook
Hi Scott, As you say, that sound issue is not netbook related; it's got to do with DirectSound and certain hardware. It's been acknowledged by Microsoft, and not much can really be done to resolve it at the application level. I have experienced it on some machines, while on my own and a whole bunch of other machines that I have tried it on everything works flawlessly. It is thus not a sound editing issue, as I am very particular when trimming and fading the edges of all my sounds. As for the performance improvement, it is not very noticeable in the jungle world; it's especially apparent in the cave and death world. That's where people report the most difference.

Re: [Audyssey] entombed story?
Well the story about how ekitrina ended up wandering the world of Sryth had a lot more thinking behind it than this one, this was something I just dashed off quickly. Sadly, given the way the game's gone recently, I don't know if that's a story which will ever be told unless I make the world generic and simply have it as a fantasy short story in it's own right. It's rather nice to get back to writing though after what seems quite a long absense for me. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Developer time was: My Opinion of Q9
Hi tom. sounds great, though I'd probably have to annotate several faqs in order to play it successfully. Fighting real world monsters is always something I liked in the castlevania games where bosses are the likes of Frankenstein's monster, a mummy, a skeletal Horseman and of course Dracula's best friend, the Grim reaper. Something like that in audio would be great indeed. Beware the grue! Dark. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 4:16 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Developer time was: My Opinion of Q9 Hi Dark, Yeah, Battle of Olympus was full of ancient Greek mythology, and had plenty of mythical creatures to beat on your way to Hades. Just off the top of my head some of the enemy bosses were the Hydra, Centaur, Cyclops, Minotaur, siren, Lamia, and Cerberus. The cool thing was once you killed them all guess what happened. Well, when you finally made it to Hades to fight the big man himself you had to fight all of the monsters you killed in the game first. Lol! Although, it was marketed as a side-scroller in many ways that counted the game was more like an early roll playing game. You had to enter your heroes name plus the way the game world was laid out you unlocked certain levels by completing certain adventures or finding certain items. In other words it was not your typical linear side-scroller, but was played in the order in which you completed adventures. For that reason alone it was pretty unique for an early NES game. dark wrote: wow tom! the game got as far into mythos as having hades helmet of darkness? --- I'm greatly impressed and quite sorry i've never had the chance to play it. Adventure island sounds a bit like an old amiga title called Chuck rock, in which you played a cave man trying to rescue his wife from the evil Garry gritter, another cave man! sound effects and in game text were hilarious, as were many of the bosses including a tiger which literally turned you white with fear when it growled, - and a T Rex with boxing gloves. You also defeated enemies by bouncing them with your belly, --- which was unique indeed! obviously, another point of the game was picking up, carrying and chucking rocks, sometimes using them to solve various puzles involving steps and ledges. there was a sequal, chuck rock II which had you playing as Chuck junior trying to rescue his dad from Garry Gritter's brother, evil brick jagger! Being bought out far later on the amiga, it was a much more advanced game with far better music sounds and graphics, and a more intricate system of attacks involving a club. you could also ride various dinosaurs and other creatures in that game too, including a mountain goat at one stage which jumped really high and didn't slip on ice. these sorts of comparatively symple, but vertically complex games in audio would be very nice to see, -especially if they could have such a great system as the battle for olympus you mention.

[Audyssey] Q9 and netbooks
Hi all, I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents about Q9 and netbooks. If it works on a netbook, that's good, but I'd be surprised if it's as smooth as its intended to be. This is for the simple reason that many netbooks are too slow to support the game. I've been told that version 1.0.1 works better on netbooks, but it's really a hit and miss situation. I would not recommend netbooks but of course I will still doo my best to make the game use as little processing power as possible, one thing that I worked on for 1.0.1. Anyone who's having trouble should try that version and see how it goes.

Re: [Audyssey] audio game question
Entombed all the way for this one. I've finished the part of it that people are testing now several times and never had a similar run through because of the randomisation of enemies items and dungen layouts, that's before you even get into the different strategies for each type of character who's likely to end up becoming part of your party. I'm fairly sure that Entombed won't be for everyone, but equally sure that if it pushes a button for you you'll have a new favourite game.

Re: [Audyssey] Developer time was: My Opinion of Q9
Yeah. I personally really liked a lot of the music, but the music for Tartarus and the battle with Hades was pretty disappointing. I don't even know if he actually did anything to attack you. I found a series of videos on YOutube where someone played the game all the way through. It was pretty cool to listen to that.

For those with Macs using Fusion jumping is harder than it should be to say the least. When I press Up+Right no matter how fast I press right I jump right into it. I've been able to get past the pits but I don't have this problem with Mota or SL, so I'm not sure what's going on with this game. I do believe it's a Fusion problem, which is a shame, as it's a game I'm interested in. I beat the demo, but it took longer than I thought. Other than Fusion problems, the game itself is nice.

Re: [Audyssey] Developer time was: My Opinion of Q9
Battle of Olympus? Wow I should have been keeping up better with this particular thread. I loved that game. In fact my mom, who used to hate video games with a passion, often used to devote at least a few hours of each evening to that game after I got home from school, sometimes before or after dinner. But we never completed it. We got as far as getting the third Fragment of Love (although I do believe we missed the second because my mom couldn't remember how or where to use the Crystal Eye). That and we never got the Sword of Hephaestos (AKA the Divine Sword), since we could never find his temple. So we never did get to Tartarus to fight Hades. As I understand it though that fight was rather anticlimactic. But I'd love to see a game based on that in audio form. That and my all-time favorite NES game, StarTropics.

[Audyssey] First computer
Hi Jacob, I got my first PC in 1980. It was a Texas Instruments 99 4a home computer. It came with a Basic programming language and the manual had programming examples. I typed in the programming examples and experimented with them trying to learn what the different Basic commands did and how to use them. I also bought an Microsoft Extended Basic programming cartridge for it. The Texas Instruments 99 4a computer had no hard or floppy drive. I bought a cable that connected to a tape recorder and that was how I saved the games that I created on it. My second computer was an Atari 800 XL home computer. I also bought an Microsoft Extended Basic programming cartridge for it as well as many game cartridges and an external five and a quarter floppy drive unit. My next computer was an IBM PC Jr. It had a programming language named BasicA as well as GW Basic. It also had two five and a quarter floppy drives built in. I bought my first talking computer in December of 1989. It was an NEC 286 16 MHZ with a 20 meg hard drive. It ran Jaws for dos version 1.0 with an Accent SA hardware synthesizer. I programmed in GW Basic and Quick Basic 4.5 on it. At first I didn't know how to make Quick Basic programs work correctly with Jaws, so I wrote Jaws script files to go with the games. Later I did learn how to make the games work correctly with all of the dos screen readers. In the year 2000 I started writing games for windows in Visual Basic 4.0. I couldn't figure out how to make the games so that all of the windows screen readers would read the text, so I started making the games self voicing by use of recorded Eloquence speech. I am now creating the games for windows in Visual Basic 6.0 and using the Microsoft sapi5 text to speech engine to make the games self voicing. BTW The Atari 800 XL had 64k of ram just like the C64. It did not have a sound synthesizer like the C64, but did have 4 sound channels. I also had a speech synthesizer program for it. Not a screen reader. It would just say anything that you typed in.

One of the most memorable things about the game was it's major amounts of gore! apparently it was enspired by the holy grale black knight fight, so you could chop of arms, legs and heads with ease (and as I said, this was a good two years before mortal combat!). The most amusing thing was that the monsters each had an instant kill tactic you had to watch out for, which were hillarious! from the giant ogre like ballocs who could jump on you and squash you to a bloody pulp, or even grab you by the kneck so hard your head popped off! To the rat men who could impail you with their large pikes, and the dragon, who'd pick you up in his large mouth and literally bight you in half! You can read about the game, including descriptions of the various deaths and other game elements, as well as check out some animated sequences (complete with bloody sounds), at http://www.moonstonetavern.co.uk/ they've even got a pre-configured winuae amigar emulation version running moonstone, but it'd deffinately require sighted assistance owing to the large amounts of text in the rpg portions of the game (I used to play it with my brother and friend, who'd read the associated text for me, and let me do the fighting when it was my character's turn).
