[Audyssey] Super Egg Hunt Plus has been released

2012-08-22 Thread Karl Belanger
Hi all,
Super Egg Hunt plus is out. The link is:
http://www.l-works.net/seh.php
Downloading the game gives you the existing super egg hunt game, plus the
classic mode originally known as just egg hunt for free, and you can pay to
get the rest of the modes.
Having been a beta tester for the game, I can honestly say the game is a ton
of fun and well worth the money.
Karl

Re: [Audyssey] swamp navigation question

2012-08-22 Thread Edgar Lozano
Hello Nick,
You know, just yesterday, I downloaded the game.
And like you did, I found it rather addicting!
Anyway, I found that navigation in Swamp can be quite a challenge.
Especially when trying to kill a zombie!
It gets really frustrating when you think that the zombie is centered
in your stereo field, only to miss your target when you  shoot
repetatively.
I guess that adds on to the challenge of finding quest items and basic
navigation.
My recommendation is to listen and pay attention to the zombie's footsteps.
For example, let's say that your in the parking lot of a building.
Your footsteps in that parking lot will obviously sound different from
your footsteps in the street or traveling down the road.
Therefore, if you hear a zombie's footsteps sound different from
yours, you'll know that the zombie is not close enough for you to
shoot at.
That, of course, will depend on what kind of weapon you are utilizing as well!
Some weapons will be able to shoot at long distances.
But if your a beginner player, the gun that you start off with will
not shoot at a very long distance.
That's just an example of how you can distinguish whether a zombie is
close enough.
Otherwise, you will have to run toward the zombie, obviously
positioning it in the center of your stereo field.
If your using a TrackPad, simply swipe your finger according to the
zombie's position.
So if you hear a zombie on your right, swipe your finger to the right
until you hear the zombie positioned in the center as much as
possible.
This is a 3d game, so it will be a bit challenging to distinguish
whether the zombie is directly behind you or in front of you.
You just have to listen really carefully.
Hope this helps.

Re: [Audyssey] any draconis games?

2012-08-22 Thread dark
I'll also add that the fact that draconis still sell their games, and give 
tech support on them is a pretty good indicator they haven't followed the 
bavisoft route.
while I would like some news from them myself, I'm content to wait, sinse 
unlike some other companies at least they're still actually present. You 
might as well claime david greenwood stopped developement from the release 
of vipmud in 2008, and the release of time of conflict in 2010.


Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] the modes in super egg hunt plus

2012-08-22 Thread Kelly Sapergia

Hi William,

I haven't read the manual for the game (which I pre-ordered yesterday) yet, 
but given that we know how the original free game plays, I somehow expected 
this, and think it's an interesting idea to keep the longevity of gameplay 
going. In a way, it reminds me of Judgment Day, where you unlock various 
features by playing the game in different ways. As far as that game goes, 
I've unlocked 30 trophies so far, and am trying to figure out how to get 
more.


Thanks.

Yours Sincerely,

Re: [Audyssey] swamp navigation question

2012-08-22 Thread Jeremy Kaldobsky
Hey Nick, don't worry about asking questions since everyone had to start out in 
the same place you are now.  The game has a few features that make it different 
than past audio games, so there is a bit of a learning curve and an adjustment 
to the controls.

On the trackpad, set your finger on it (it doesn't matter where) and slide it 
to the right.  This will rotate your character to the right.  The same works 
for turning left, and adjusting that sensitivity setting determines how much 
you rotate.  For example, lets say you slid your finger an inch to the right.  
With the sensitivity at lowest you might only rotate a few degrees, but if it 
were set to highest you might rotate 80 or 90 degrees.  Some people prefer 
highest so that they have more speed, but that also means they have to be very 
precise with their finger movements since even moving their finger a tiny bit 
too far would cause them to miss a shot.  Others prefer lower sensitivity 
because they can focus in on the perfect shooting angle easier, but of course 
it is harder for them to turn quickly to hit a second target.

Where you first place your finger doesn't matter because the trackpad, just 
like a mouse, works on relative position.  If you want to rotate to the right, 
it will usually make the most sense to start out placing your finger to the 
left most side of the trackpad simply because it gives you more room to move to 
the right.  Once you run out of room, if you still need to turn to the right 
farther, just lift your finger and place it on the left again so that you have 
more room to keep sliding to the right.

Some players don't like to start their finger all the way to the right or left 
because it takes a tiny bit longer to change your mind and turn the other way.  
In the heat of battle you might suddenly discover that the target on your left 
is racing toward you faster than the one on the right you intended to shoot 
first.  Those players generally start in the middle of the trackpad so that 
they can quickly zoom their finger in the opposite direction if such a 
situation occurs.  That probably seems like unnecessary precaution, but 
remember that some of the game's players are quite elite after 10 months of 
playing!  They get themselves into extremely action packed situations where a 
split second delay between turning right or left could mean death rather than 
sweet sweet victory, ROFL!

I hope this has helped.

Re: [Audyssey] rs games

Hi Will,

The reason has to do with the speech API RS Games is using in the RS
Client. The TTS API they use doesn't use VoiceOver itself and
interfaces with the Apple TTS engines more directly.

Re: [Audyssey] any draconis games?

2012-08-22 Thread Thomas Ward
Hi Will,

No, unfortunately, Draconis hasn't given us any more news on their
current projecs. However, just because they haven't given us any news
or a game release doesn't mean we should automatically start comparing
them to Bavisoft.I for one am pretty sure Draconis is working on
something, and I know more than most the time, effort, and drain it
takes to produce a serious game of any real quality. Especially, if
that someone happens to be coding an engine and games from the ground
up in a language like C+++ which Draconis is doing.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, one thing the average
gamer often over looks is the people producing accessible games do so
in their spare time. They have families, they have jobs, they need
personal time as well. Therefore they can't be treated as robots who
sit in front of a computer 12 hours a day programming this or that
game just because a few gamers want it on demand.

As for why Draconis and many accessible game developers don't give us
weekly or monthly updates as to the status of projects its pretty
simple. If a game developer says something in an e-mail and decides to
change his or her mind at a later point they'll get flamed for
promising one thing and giving the customers something else. If a
developer goes into a lot of detail about a certain game then there
won't be as much surprise when it is released. If a game developer is
doing a lot of experimentation as I did for a while people will get
confused, angry, and upset because they'll accuse the developer of
goofing off when they are trying to figure something out by trial and
error. Bottom line, there are times when discretion is indeed the
better part of valor. :D

Cheers!

[Audyssey] any draconis games?

2012-08-22 Thread william lomas
hi all i thought one of the draconis games was all ready to go?
thought be released by now?
it like bavisoft i suppose, if nothing comes out from a company for five plus 
years, how can the community which it serves expect to remain loyal to the said 
company?
we hear to be fair "working on new titles" but same mantra for five years now?
if something to show for it i for one would have faith in the company but if no 
news, does that in our community necessarily mean good news?
want to look at the BGT program myself just trying to get head around it all :) 
then we all set

Re: [Audyssey] Pontes Backgammon

2012-08-22 Thread Lora
I had already used F3 to change the numbering to 1 to 24, which is what I
prefer while playing.  

I keep meaning to try again, but never seem to get back to the game.

As I said, i don't remember such a bug myself.

Are you certain you were moving it backwards? what I mean is, the squares
are numbers a1/a12, then b1/b12.

so, when you move from the top of the a row, you are on the top of the B
row, thus, if you moved a checker one space from a12 it'd be on b12, one
more would take it to b11, and so on down the B row.

So, I wonder if perhaps you were looking at the wrong row numbers wise?

There is also an option to have the spaces numbered 1-24 as an alternative
if you prefer.

Just a thought.

Sorry, I should have been clearer.

I know how to play backgammon.  I found that I could move a piece backward
in the game, which is something that shouldn't be allowed.

Hi,
NO, you cannot move backward; that is something that is never done in
Backgammon. As for replacing a piece you've picked up, that's something 
I've

that

you cannot do so.
