Re: [Audyssey] for all developers, possible games to consider for the future?
SoundRTS you can play over a network, and it has graphics that can be turned on, so while not too sure how well it would work over the 'net, you could set up a form of LAN gaming with VI and sighted guys playing things like it and topspeed against each other...? Aside from that, there are so many versions of warcraft, starcraft, etc. etc. out there, and it's just relatively similar to one of the original warcrafts I played a long time ago.

Re: [Audyssey] re- to all developers, possible games to consider for the future?
I like the idea of using sound and graphics, so the games can be played by everyone, whether they are blind or sighted. The problem is though that games can be hard to make when you start including both sound and graphics. Audio games are pretty easy to make, but you've got more work to do with making the graphics move and stuff. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Mike Reiser Sent: 17 October 2010 23:22 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] re- to all developers, possible games to consider for the future?

Re: [Audyssey] re- to all developers, possible games to consider for the future?
I must admit I appreciate audio games with graphics, sinse I can play them much as I do most everything else in my life, with a combination of things. thus far though, while some games such as the gma engine, time of conflict and sound rts have minimal, reference type graphics, these are not even up to nes standard, though as these are intended as audio games anyway and the graphics are merely an extra add on I don't particularly mind, nor do i expect full and complete graphics. the only audio games I know with total graphics support are those from code factory, which use cartoony type graphics and highlighted menues, and of course Terraformers, which imho does the best job of audio graphical fusion (there's a mention of my remarks on this on their web page). but graphics programmming is it's own artform, requires as much, if not more work than audio sound design, and probably increases developement time and trouble of any game by a factor of ten! I'm not saying that it's impossible for an audio game to have useable graphics, obviously terraformers proved the point, only that it would take a huge amount of extra work. Pluss of course, I actually think some audio games get a lot out of being just audio, such as the atmospherics in shades of doom, or the exploration aspect of packman. I actually find audio packman far more fun to play than graphical packman, sinse rather than seeing the hole maze and running around it, you only get to know the part of the maze immediately around you, and must use memory and logic as well as quick reflexes.

Hi, That is kind of sad. I wouldn't actually never do preorders for something that isn't even released yet.

Re: [Audyssey] Problem with objects in Mota Beata 15
It does make sense, and I'm glad to hear that it's not a major rewrite. I just didn't want to have the game pushed back a couple more months because some people couldn't get used to a somewhat different keyboard and sound handling. I personally have not experienced any system restarts on exit with my Windows 7 machine, but I do see how that is a fairly major annoyance. -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Ward Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 9:52 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Problem with objects in Mota Beata 15 Hi Karl, Well, if it was just the keyboard input problem I'd probably just leave it well enough alone. However, as it happens we do have more serious issues like the game crashing on exit on Windows systems, but not on Linux. As I have tried figuring out a solution for this I don't know I can fix it using the current game engine. I do know that the Windows engine, beta 13 used, worked pretty well all things considered. So if I do create a Windos specific version and a linux specific version it wouldn't necessarily be a major rewrite. It would simply require updating the Windows engine to use some extra functions/features I added to the cross-platform engine and recompile it. Of course, the Windows code for the game would need to be updated too, and that could be probably done in two/three days. Inside of a couple of weeks of work I could basically have two different builds of the game each using native game APIs for the intended platform. This is possible because the Genesis Engine is very object oriented in that all of the real work is done using internal classes. In short, what I am saying is that the functions etc MOTA uses are all generic classes and functions built into the engine itself. If you tell it something like g_audio.SoundPlay (PLAYER_PUNCH, false); it doesn't really matter if the engine is using DirectSound, XAudio2, or OpenAL because the audio class provides a high-level interface to whatever sound API is being used by the engine. That generic/object oriented interface therefore allows me to port code rapidly between platforms and even APIs if I write the code right. Make sense? Cheers!

We've been waiting long enough for this game, and you've put more than enough blood sweat and tears into this, and I'd hate to see it delayed further. I don't mind the keyboard behavior, and the borders and site fix the sound issues. I think why people are complaining about various things is that they do not realize that different libraries means different behavior, and when they encounter this different behavior in game they think it's a bug. I think if you simply put something like The SFML Libraries do not allow as many simultaneous key presses as DirectX did, meaning it is not possible to run and pick up items. Would have made people aware that this is, in fact not a bug, but just a different way of doing things. Again, please do not do yet another rewrite of things, causing more delays, just to make a few people happy.

Re: [Audyssey] Q9 upcoming patch

I have implemented a few of them. The change log now looks like this: Version 1.2: Added: It is now possible to get the secret weapon from within the actual game, rather than as a cheat code only. Added: Some enemies can now fall into pits. Added: Randomly appearing Mini Demons in the boss battle. Changed: The club can now attack slightly faster. Changed: Fortune fields now have a higher chance of giving rather than taking away strength. Changed: In the regular playing mode, extra strength as well as extra rocks and shields are now more common bonus items. Fixed: Fortune fields will no longer appear in the middle of pits. Fixed: The bonus level will no longer be triggered when starting a new game, if the previous game had been canceled during a bonus level. Fixed: Fortune fields can no longer make bats mysteriously vanish, they now fail to affect the bats at all as they can fly above them. I think this is all I'll do for this 1.2 release, but if the majority of you are in favor of a future paid upgrade then I would seriously consider revamping and adding a bunch of other things as well.

Re: [Audyssey] Marvel VS. Capcom 3 gameplay!
I would say I'm more in the um, retired catagory since the newest machine I have atm is my PSP heh- but indeed, I've been gaming since...1989- I remember playing street fighter 2 when it came out- at the arcade! Talk about sound issues lol, most of the fighters sounded the same in that one- I think they only had like 3 sets of voice files they used between fighters. At least Blanka got his very own sounds rofl. Though Soul Blade is rather old and a tad on the slow side, to me it is still one of the best fighting games- I tend to like fighting games that's medieval and focuses on timing. Also Soul Blade has completely vocalized endings unlike alot of fighting games- King of Fighters, here's looking at ya. No one ever kicked ass by saying I can't.

Re: [Audyssey] Problem with objects in Mota Beata 15
Hi Carl, The blue screen on exit is a mystery to me as well. I've tested it on multiple machines and most of my private testers haven't had the problem either. Which is why it slipped through the screening process to make it into the public beta. Although, I think I have a handle on that now, and might have a fix for it soon. As for spending months doing rewrites that's the last thing I want to do. That's one reason I'm trying so hard to fix bugs and problems in the cross-platform engine. Even though it is possible to pull the beta 13 source and start from there it still would be time lost, and pretty unconstructive as well. The old engine relies too much on legacy libraries like DirectX 8 which is fine for anyone using XP, Vista, or Windows 7 but really isn't looking towards the future of the Windos platform or going to make it easier to maintain a cross-platform release.I've pretty much decided if I can get the cross-platform engine working that's what I want to use to develope future USA Games titles.

Hi, I didn't acquire the rights for Max. Part of the reason was that James North was working on some sort of game engine, and the game was designed using the game engine he was creating at the time.

Re: [Audyssey] re- to all developers, possible games to consider for the future?
Hi Harmony, Well, as far as I know most graphics designers don't scan images into the computer. They typically use some high priced drawing software to draw trains, cars, jets, whatever and then save the images on the system. After they have all the images created the developer can use something like OpenGL or Direct3D to render them on screen and blend the various images together to make realtime animation. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Max Shrapnell
I actually liked the story of Monkey Business. As for James nobody really k nows what he's up to these days, only that so far as we can tell he's no longer developing, or if he is it's for his personal enjoyment. While I agree he could have handled things better I don't blame him in the least for throwing in the towel. People in this community seriously overreacted, even if their discontentment was justified. But it's people like that who make it harder on the rest of us and give blind people a bad name. But it's as I've said before, all we can do is learn from the mistakes he made and do our best not to repeat them. I for one don't plan on taking preorders on games or if I do it won't be until I know the game is well and truly on the home stretch to release.

[Audyssey] Vanishing Platforms was Q9 upcoming patch
Hi Karl, well, the primary reason I didn't include the vanishing platforms in MOTA is because I didn't feel they would fit into the game's background story. Plus I invisioned MOTA has an accessible version of Tomb Raider without the trademarks and copyrights attached. However, it shares the same basic concept behind Tomb Raider. That said, I haven't given up he idea of using vanishing platforms in my games. I've been thinking for quite some time of doing a retro remake of Megaman with its own storyline and main character. The Megaman style platformer is perfect for things like vanishing platforms because there were traps like that in the Megaman games. The one I remember most from my NES playing days is the floating blocks that would vanish and reappear. It took me several runs through Megaman I to figure out that particular puzzle. It is too bad, but very few accessible games actually includes traps and puzzles quite that complex. Still I too would like to see more of these mainstream concepts get braught over to an accessible format. Smile.

Hi, I have no idea what happened to James North aftr he closed up shop. I haven't talked to the man by phone or via e-mail in four years. So really have nothing more to say on that subject.

Anyone who's played soul blade, in my opinion, can be called a soul calibur vetarin. lol. And not just SC either. Soul Blade was a pretty obscure game, and the series didn't really have any bang for the buck until the first soul calibur game in 1998.

Re: [Audyssey] Max Shrapnell
Oh no. People's reactions were completely justified. The man busted back onto the scene telling us Montezuma's Revenge was gold. We weren't told it was in development, but that it was a finished product. So I, and many others, went out and bought copies based on that fact. It turned out that several months later, the game still hadn't been released, and he would tell us, on the evening of the release, Sorry, guys. The game won't be coming out tonight as I decided to have the family over for a barbecue. So anyone who wants ribs, chicken alfredo, and peach cobbler can come on over. Nearly six years later, you all know the story. I bought Montezuma's Revenge because I thought the game was completed. I bought Max Shrapnel and 3 months of server subscription because, believing he had the ability to complete games in a timely manner, I assumed Max was on the same path. $100.77 later, I know better. You can generalize blind people all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that James North, as a businessman, left way too many people out in the cold. I don't care that he was fed up with blind people, republicans, aliens, rhubarb, or Velveteen rabbits. The man had--and still has--an obligation to finish what he started, backed by thousands of dollars of people's money.

That might also work for things like food which could be eaten for strength. Perhaps monsters could destroy the food if they walk over it before the player grabs it. Also, there should be a way of getting a monster to fall into pits. For example, if you could hit a monster while standing on the second muddy step or right at the very edge of the pit before leaping across to safety. The monster, being enraged by the hit, would misjudge his leap over the pit and fall in. It should be a risky thing to try and do.

I was wondering if there are any small changes that you would like to see? The change log currently looks like this: Version 1.2: Added: It is now possible to get the secret weapon from within the actual game, rather than as a cheat code only. Changed: Fortune fields now have a higher chance of giving rather than taking away strength. Changed: In the regular playing mode, extra strength as well as extra rocks and shields are now more common bonus items. Fixed: Fortune fields will no longer appear in the middle of pits. Fixed: The bonus level will no longer be triggered when starting a new game, if the previous game had been canceled during a bonus level. Fixed: Fortune fields can no longer make bats mysteriously vanish, they now fail to affect the bats at all as they can fly above them. Not very impressive as you can see, which is why I'm putting out the question. Thoughts, anyone?

Those vanishing blocks are actually a staple of the series, and come up in many games after Mega man I, I think the set in Mega man 3 where you also have to cope with being pulled by a magnet at the same time are probably the worst! Then there are moving platforms, which games like mario also had many of and I'd love to see in an audio game. I've been stuck for literally weeks on some of those sorts of puzles, trying to remember the correct sequence or jump at the right time. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Vanishing Platforms was Q9 upcoming patch
There was a famous set of them in iceman's stage, but they also came up in elec man's stage and indeed Wily's castle as well. The disappearing blocks can't hurt you, but there are some truly evil platforms in iceman's stage that move around while shooting at you. I've actually never done that particular set myself, I always get the magnet beam item from elec man's stage and use it to make myself ledges ;D. Beware the Grue!

Plus I invisioned MOTA has an accessible version of Tomb Raider without the trademarks and copyrights attached. However, it shares the same basic concept behind Tomb Raider. That said, I haven't given up he idea of using vanishing platforms in my games. I've been thinking for quite some time of doing a retro remake of Megaman with its own storyline and main character. The Megaman style platformer is perfect for things like vanishing platforms because there were traps like that in the Megaman games. The one I remember most from my NES playing days is the floating blocks that would vanish and reappear. It took me several runs through Megaman I to figure out that particular puzzle. It is too bad, but very few accessible games actually includes traps and puzzles quite that complex. Still I too would like to see more of these mainstream concepts get braught over to an accessible format. Smile.

For realism, maybe you could have them be rock slabs that slide back into the wall at certain times. Also, the items always spawn at the same spot in a room.

Re: [Audyssey] Max Shrapnell
I will say, even though angry reactions might've been justified, there is no reason, absolutely no reason, that it should've been caried away the way it was. Flame wars were starting everywhere, people attacking james in all sorts of ways and it just got filthy. If I was him, I would've closed too. Though I guess if there's one thing I learned if I were to become a dev would be, always keep people posted on what's going on with the game. The Mortal Kombat 9 boards are in an uproar because WB hasn't posted something in months, whereas marvel vs. capcom 3 has gotten updates officially from capcom every month or so. Bottom line. I think if we'd al shut up and waited, the games would've come out. I'd rather wait years for a game to come out. Remember, mainstream games take anywhere from five to ten years... marvel vs. capcom 3 took a year to even get announced. Street Fighter IV was the first SF game in ten years, and turned out great. IMO, you get more bang for your buck if you wait for the game... And remember, none knows what the true circumstances of James's going was for... he could've been going through personal issues of all sorts, and a bunch of flaming from a bunch of blind people needless to say didn't help. With ESP, James did prove he could develop good games that were a lot of fun. And honestly, could people not be more considerate? Yes, he has an obligation to finish what he started. But some things in life are more important than making games with which to entertain people. Sorry for all the errors in my typing.

Hi, No, that wasn't the specific trap I was thinking of, but the same concept applies. On level 3, Electric Man's, sstage there were a number of colored blocks that would appear and vanish at random intervals. Some times you had to jumpback and forth until you got across the screen to the other side. If the block you were standing on vanished goodbye Megaman.

Re: [Audyssey] Vanishing Platforms was Q9 upcoming patch
Well, a lot of games back then, ghouls n ghosts, Mega man, Mario etc, were very much designed on theprinciple that they should be extremely hard but not impossible, in fact Kaegee inafune the designer of Mega man said himself he wanted a game that he wanted specifically to create a game which was hard to get through, but which always had the possibility of being completeable, so that everytime the player tried to get through they would get a litle further, and thus when they finally completed the game they had a real sense of doing something hugely difficult. I think it's Nintendo's ability to strike this balance back in the early days, ie, hard but not too hard that really put games, and them on the map. it'd be great to see this sort of thing in audio games actually, though I know difficulty has often been a tricky subject.

Re: [Audyssey] Vanishing Platforms was Q9 upcoming patch
Hi Dark, Yes, in deed. That's exactly what drew me to the NES platform when it was introduced in the mid 80's. the games were hard, challenging, but not so hard it couldn't be completed. You just had to work like crazy at it. In fact, this is one of the reasons I've started up USA games. I've been there done that so to speak, and just find the current accessible games lacking in this balance between difficult and completable. Even worse when I do create something challenging I get negative feedback of the type the game is too hard, too difficult, and I'm asked to tone the game down some. it is obvious several VI gamers have no idea how difficult mainstream games are, and why they drew millions of sighted players to purchase them.

Re: [Audyssey] I Notice the following for Jim Kitchen's casino game.
Hi Ron, Unfortunately, Microsoft Anna isnt very loud to start with. While the voice is certainly better sounding than Mike, Mary, or Sam the volume is extremely low for a Sapi voice. There isn't much you can do than to turn your speakers up louder, or switch to a different Sapi voice. HTH On 10/18/10, Ron Kolesar kolesar16...@roadrunner.com wrote: Ron Kolesar Hi to all.

Re: [Audyssey] Vanishing Platforms was Q9 upcoming patch
Yeah really. I'm tempted to tell these people who complain to tr some mainstream games, particularly some of the ones we're talking about here. Then maybe MOTA won't seem so difficult. I love the challenge and can't wait to play the full game.

That's exactly what drew me to the NES platform when it was introduced in the mid 80's. the games were hard, challenging, but not so hard it couldn't be completed. You just had to work like crazy at it. In fact, this is one of the reasons I've started up USA games. I've been there done that so to speak, and just find the current accessible games lacking in this balance between difficult and completable. Even worse when I do create something challenging I get negative feedback of the type the game is too hard, too difficult, and I'm asked to tone the game down some. it is obvious several VI gamers have no idea how difficult mainstream games are, and why they drew millions of sighted players to purchase them.

I think it's Nintendo's ability to strike this balance back in the early days, ie, hard but not too hard that really put games, and them on the map. it'd be great to see this sort of thing in audio games actually, though I know difficulty has often been a tricky subject.

Re: [Audyssey] Vanishing Platforms was Q9 upcoming patch
Indeed Tom, I've been stuck on parts of mega man and mario games for literally weeks, in fact on a recent playthrough of Mega man X 1 it took me a week to complete a moving ledge section simply because I hadn't played the game for a long while and had just forgotten the correct trick to getting through. I think this is what difficulty levels are for, to try and give people this sort of balance. As an interesting point, apparently the Us/europe release of Mega man 2, which had a normal and hard difficulty mode was completely made up for western release. The Japanese version is apparently the hard mode, but nintendo though people would find that too difficult so only released it as a harder difficulty, rather like the hole business with Mario 2 and the lost levels. Interestingly enough though, sinse I've never actually played original Nes mega man, and only played it on the Mega man aniversary collection for the gamecube, I've only ever! played the hard mode of the game ;D. and while it is hard, I have actually finished the game a couple of times, even though it did take quite a bit of doing.

Re: [Audyssey] Vanishing Platforms was Q9 upcoming patch
Hi, Wow! You must be a better gamer than I. I found playing Megaman with sight tough, and have never completed it blind. You did it without sight, or at least with low vision anyway. Megaman is darned hard for anyone, and now I'm blind I find it impossible.

Re: [Audyssey] Vanishing Platforms was Q9 upcoming patch
Well, one consequence of having low vision and thus a limited scope of games to play is that I become more devoted to those i can! get through, particularly when they have such an amount of story and background as the Mega man series. I will freely admit though, the guides from the mega man network site did rather help, particularly with games like those in the mega man X series where there are many hidden items who's location may not be obvious, even for a large amount of looking. It is rather a shame that 2D platformers like Mega man and turrican are so inaccessible without site. These are games I've enjoyed for years. At least though hopefully when the genesis engine is finished you might be able to rectify that situation somewhat in audio, as you've already started to do with mota. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Vanishing Platforms was Q9 upcoming patch
Hi, \Smile. Trust me MOTA is simple compared to the kinds of games I'm scheming for future releases. All this talk about Megaman has reminded me how much I loved those games, and I'd love to play something like them again. For example, as I said earlier I've been thinking of something like Megaman for a very long time. Some kind of super hero with lasers, rockets, and battle armour set in a futuristic sci-fi setting. Even if it were a 2d side-scroller it could be quite challenging with force fields, moving/vanishing platforms, and some equally futuristic traps.Plus normal bad guys combat droids, troopers waring battle armour, robot tanks, whatever.

Re: [Audyssey] Vanishing Platforms was Q9 upcoming patch
Hi Dark, Amen to that. That's one reason I'm really hoping to fix this blue screen error soon. As soon as the engine is stable I can begin cranking out side-scrollers as well as full blown FPS titles like crazy. I've got a lot of ideas, almost have a development tool to use to bring that about, but errors plus prier commitments are holding me back from acomplishing the goal. There are lots of good games I'd like to see in audio such as Megaman, Castlevania, Pitfall, etc that would be easy enough to create with the engine. Especially, since the side-scroller side of things is almost complete.
