Hi Paulette,

Phil has a major update in the works for Sarah that will hopefully be out 
sometime this year, but the last update was released in 2009.  So if you 
want to try the game download and install the main setup file, then 
download and install the patch. That will give you a couple of levels to 
try out. In my opinion it is by far one of my fave five games .However, if 
you aren't very experienced with audio games the game could be a bit 
daunting as it has a full 2d first-person perspective which some blind 
gamers have difficulty with at first.


Cheers!

Hi,

I believe I'm going to be getting an iPod Touch either tomorrow or sometime 
in the not-to-distant future. I got to play with my brother's for an hour 
during a visit last year, and gradually got used to the various gestures 
using the practice function. I plan on buying an audio game once I'm 
familiar with the rest of the device's layout (I'm trying to decide if I 
should get either Aurifi or Papa Sangre first), but was wondering how well 
these games work under iOS 5? I'm asking because when I read the reviews for

them on iTunes, some people noted that they sometimes crash a lot, or may 
not work properly. I'm just wondering if anyone's had any trouble using 
these games with the latest iOS, as the last thing I want to do is buy a 
game and discover that it's unplayable for whatever reason. Just out of 
curiosity, what happens if a game does crash? I assume it would stop 
running, but just wanted to check.

Thanks.

If I'm honest, I agree with you on that count, but I also just think that
the voices (generally) just don't quite fit... I don't know why though... it
might just be that the game itself is too complicated...

Re: [Audyssey] Sarah, the game

2012-04-28 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi,
I originally developed the Sarah game with all synthesized voices to save 
time and money.

I have been gradually replacing the synthesized voices with human ones.
First to change was the voice of Sarah, then came the caretaker, and Sarah's 
father as a howler.
I felt that the humans in the game should sound human but did not feel the 
same for some of the ghosts, goblin and Dobby the house elf.
I have animal voices for fang and Fluffy thanks to my dogs, and a bird sound 
for the phoenix and cat sounds for Mrs. Noris and the

cat pictures.
I used my own voice for the eagle painting, the king frog and the 
headmaster.
I used the sound of a baby crying for the troll and a real british woman 
trying to imitate the Fat lady.


In the update I have many more human voices that you can hear when reviewing 
the sounds.

Here is a list of the new human voices:
bloody baron.
divination-teacher.
Grop.
Helena the grey lady.
Mrs. honeyduke.
olivander.
peter.
the sphinx.
Cadogan the knight.
Merperson voice of the Golden egg.
bob ogden  in the basen.
and finally the bus conductor.

Sherry will host two new games from 8:00 to 9:00 PM eastern.  The new games are 
called Mad Gap and Buzz Word.  Details forthcoming!  Also, Charlie will host a 
fun game right afterwards as well.  You won't want to miss this special game 
night! 


Here are the events scheduled for Saturday, April 28th:


The Conversation Piece
12:00 PM eastern
Hosted by Paul
Location: The Doughnut Shop
Hello and good day to you all. This is Paul from Baltimore wishing to host a 
general chat scheduled for today, Saturday from noon to 1:00 PM eastern. I 
would like to call it the Conversation Peace. We will discuss just about 
anything in good taste from technology to travel to whatever is on the minds of 
the participants. 


The Jukebox
6:00 PM eastern
Hosted by Charlie
Location: Game Zone
Pick a year between 1946 and 2012. Listen to a notable music track and try to 
guess either or both of the title of the song and the artist for 2 points each. 
Not comfortable with guessing? Bring in your team for help for 1 point each. If 
either element is incorrect or skipped, the other team can steal for 1 point.

The game runs under a 2 hour time limit and final rounds will be announced as 
the time approaches.

A notable track usually means the song has charted on one or more of 
Billboard's charts. Sometimes the track has not charted, but made a notable 
list such as Rolling Stone's 500 or AOL's Best.


On Stage

possible but you better know when to quit otherwise, you'll lose it all

play and its loads of fun. Be sure to arrive early to grab a seat, otherwise, 
you can join the studio audience and root on the players.

Re: [Audyssey] Sarah, the game

Hi Thomas,
The only major synthesized voices left are Peeves, Dobby, Binns, Nick, the 
Fat fryer, and Myrtle.
If anyone is willing to record their voice as one of these characters, I am 
willing to replace the existing voice if I think the human voice fits the 
character.

Send me a message to

I have animal voices for fang and Fluffy thanks to my dogs, and a bird 
sound for the phoenix and cat sounds for Mrs. Noris and the

cat pictures.
I used my own voice for the eagle painting, the king frog and the 
headmaster.
I used the sound of a baby crying for the troll and a real british 
woman trying to imitate the Fat lady.


In the update I have many more human voices that you can hear when 
reviewing the sounds.

Here is a list of the new human voices:
bloody baron.
divination-teacher.
Grop.
Helena the grey lady.
Mrs. honeyduke.
olivander.
peter.
the sphinx.
Cadogan the knight.
Merperson voice of the Golden egg.
bob ogden  in the basen.
and finally the bus conductor.

I'd gladly try one of the other voices myself, indeed I think i could have a 
crack at peves, bins or possibly dobby, but I think the game probably has 
enough of my voice in already, though if you'd like me to have a go phil let 
me know.

Hi Paulette,
I last updated the Sarah game in 2009, but I am working on a full update
that I hope to release sometime in the next few months.
In the earlier update I did add a few spells and in the new update I added
some more.
In the original game the goal was just to get out of the castle, but in the
update I am working on, there will be several goals.
You can download and try out the current version that allows you to explore
two floors of the castle free.
The reason for the two downloads on the download site is that I decided not
to update the full version as it would take over a week to do that and
meanwhile I would have to update the full version anyway because of the new
levels and files I'm adding to the game.

The full current version is almost 300 MB so it should be downloaded and
installed first.
Then the patch should be downloaded and installed second to add the new
spells and to fix some bugs.
Phil

Hi paulette.

The changes to the game are in the patch file, not on the page, so download
the game and run the patch to have the latest one.

while Sarah is a fantastic game, I will say that the audio first person
navigation it requires, along with the large amount of sounds do make it one
of the more complex games to play, and if your not as familiar with computer
games generally you might considder trying something simpler and first
person such as shades of doom, gma tank commander (both of which have
demos), or terraformers (which is actually free now).

This isn't to say don't try sarah, the game is great, and the navaids are
more than up to the task, only that you possibly might want to approach the
game with caution so as to get the most out of it, if it's not one of a
style you've experienced before.

All the best,

Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] Symbian and games

2012-04-28 Thread Valiant8086

Hi.
The only Symbian games I know of accessible or not are those available 
from code factory, but unless I am mistaken you have to own a copy of 
mobile speak to be able to play them

Hi all,
As it happens sometimes, some games are playable by blind although they are not

among the blind gamers that are more into games than the others.
Now, my question is, is there a symbian game that is accessible by chance? That 
is, playable enough?
Best!

Hi Paulette,

Phil has a major update in the works for Sarah that will hopefully be out
sometime this year, but the last update was released in 2009.  So if you
want to try the game download and install the main setup file, then download
and install the patch. That will give you a couple of levels to try out. In
my opinion it is by far one of my fave five games .However, if you aren't
very experienced with audio games the game could be a bit daunting as it has
a full 2d first-person perspective which some blind gamers have difficulty
with at first.

Cheers!

What I usually do myself is keep one hand on eachh control key with the tips

I do agree that the game takes a little practice, but once you've got it it
actually becomes easy, and it's actually the practice that makes the game
fun and challenging.

Hi all,

Well I'm not doing well at all with Christmas Whoopass. I did get in a few
punches, but it seemed that the more I lost the more I was unable to get
in
even 1 punch. I tried throwing the first punch. I tried keeping my fingers
on both control keys and the space bar at once, so I could hit one, right
after Old Man Stanley punched me. But often he would knock out my teeth
with
the first punch. That's not fair! The game is a lot of fun, though.

The reason for the two downloads on the download site is that I decided not

The full current version is almost 300 MB so it should be downloaded and

Then the patch should be downloaded and installed second to add the new

Re: [Audyssey] Sarah, the game

2012-04-28 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Paulette,
To play the Sarah game you need to,
1. download the full version.

Its name is, Sarah10.exe, and it's size is 176.3 MB.
2. install the file.
3. download the patch. Sarah Patch4.exe
It is 19.6 MB.
4. install the patch.
When the install asks do you want to use the existing folder hit y.
Now you can try it out by going on your desktop and looking for the sarah 
game or to go to your program files list to find the game.
This second way is better as you can run the help file or read the 
instructions file first.

navigation it requires, along with the large amount of sounds do make it 
one
of the more complex games to play, and if your not as familiar with 
computer

games generally you might considder trying something simpler and first
person such as shades of doom, gma tank commander (both of which have
demos), or terraformers (which is actually free now).

This isn't to say don't try sarah, the game is great, and the navaids are
more than up to the task, only that you possibly might want to approach 
the

game with caution so as to get the most out of it, if it's not one of a
style you've experienced before.

All the best,

Dark.

Hi Phil,

I am thinking about purchasing Sarah, but I am confused. It looks to me 
as

if you haven't updated your page about the patch and the game since 2009.
I
could be wrong about that. Does the patch include all of the changes you
describe, such as the potion kit, the moving of the kitchen door, 2 new
spells and so forth? Does the patch have a price? Can I hear a demo?
Thanks
for your help. The game sounds absolutely wonderful.

[Audyssey] Cross platform gaming.

2012-04-28 Thread michael barnes
Hey, sometime last month Thomas had mention that he is working on a 
program that will allow people to play games on other platforms.

So with that being said I was wondering two thing about that program.
First thing can a person take a game that they have on their machine 
and put it through the program to be able to play it on another platform?

Or is that only for the person who program the game?
Second thing is I was wondering when will the public get to get their 
hands on the program?
If what I am understanding I think that I might enjoy the program, that 
is if I will be able to do what I'm thinking about!

Re: [Audyssey] Sarah, the game

2012-04-28 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Paulette,
You don't have to download anything yet.
Once you purchase the game through Draconis, they will email me the 
confirmation and I will send you a registration key.
You should notice the 4 digit number spoken at the beginning of the game. 
That number is required for creating your registration key.

That key will unloack all the other levels of the castle.
Of course when the update to the game is released, you will want to 
download that too.
I plan to have it use the same registration key so it will cost you no more 
money, just the time to download and install it.
I also plan to have it go to a different folder so you can play either 
version if you wish.

Hi Phil,

I am thinking about purchasing Sarah, but I am confused. It looks to me
as
if you haven't updated your page about the patch and the game since 
2009.

I
could be wrong about that. Does the patch include all of the changes you
describe, such as the potion kit, the moving of the kitchen door, 2 new
spells and so forth? Does the patch have a price? Can I hear a demo?
Thanks
for your help. The game sounds absolutely wonderful.

Paulette

[Audyssey] A good fiction novel about computer games

2012-04-28 Thread Paulette Vickery
Hi all,

I just finished reading a really good fiction novel about computer games in
the near future. I think that the book was written for adolescents, but it
is really good. It makes you feel like you are really in the games. Here is
the information from BARD, about the book. If you do not download books, you
can order it from your NLS library.
Paulette

Ready Player One
Cline, Ernest. Read by Erik Sandvold. Reading time 16 hours 46 minutes.
Science Fiction
2045. Multibillionaire James Halliday dies, leaving his last will and
testament online
for the world to see. His massively multiplayer online game OASIS has a
hidden feature--an
Easter egg--and the person who finds the egg first wins Halliday's fortune.
Some
strong language. Bestseller. 2011.

Hi Paulette,
You don't have to download anything yet.
Once you purchase the game through Draconis, they will email me the
confirmation and I will send you a registration key.
You should notice the 4 digit number spoken at the beginning of the game. 
That number is required for creating your registration key.
That key will unloack all the other levels of the castle.
 Of course when the update to the game is released, you will want to
download that too.
I plan to have it use the same registration key so it will cost you no more
money, just the time to download and install it.
I also plan to have it go to a different folder so you can play either
version if you wish.

Re: [Audyssey] Sarah, the game

2012-04-28 Thread Lori Duncan
Hi Paulette, no you don't, all you do is copy your user code, which is the 
number Sarah speaks at the start of the game, once you hit space on the okay 
button to run the game in demo mode, she'll say something like "your user 
code is," then some numbers.  This is used to produce your product key, 
which you can enter into the registration box once you've baught the game. 
The key is sent via email, and the easiest way to enter it is to copy and 
paste it into the box from your email, then save the email somewhere save, 
so you still have a copy of the key.  Then you've got the full game and can 
get back to scaring Peeves.  Hope this helps, fromm Lori.

Hi Paulette,
To play the Sarah game you need to,
1. download the full version.

Its name is, Sarah10.exe, and it's size is 176.3 MB.
2. install the file.
3. download the patch. Sarah Patch4.exe
It is 19.6 MB.
4. install the patch.
When the install asks do you want to use the existing folder hit y.
Now you can try it out by going on your desktop and looking for the sarah

This second way is better as you can run the help file or read the

Hi Paulette,
I last updated the Sarah game in 2009, but I am working on a full update
that I hope to release sometime in the next few months.
In the earlier update I did add a few spells and in the new update I 
added

some more.
In the original game the goal was just to get out of the castle, but in
the
update I am working on, there will be several goals.
You can download and try out the current version that allows you to
explore
two floors of the castle free.
The reason for the two downloads on the download site is that I decided
not
to update the full version as it would take over a week to do that and
meanwhile I would have to update the full version anyway because of the
new
levels and files I'm adding to the game.

The full current version is almost 300 MB so it should be downloaded and
installed first.
Then the patch should be downloaded and installed second to add the new
spells and to fix some bugs.
