Re: [Audyssey] super egghunt was: Re: Announcement fromDraconisEntertainment
Hi tom. I believe at one point amigar power magazine started to use the phrase arcade action games to describe many of the titles which were being produced that had a distinct structure, many levels and enemies etc, but still had a scoring system, sinse remember in the mid to late 80's it wasn't just platformers that were moving away from the infinite levels, rack up score affairs, even pure shooter games like paradius, r-type, z out etc, not to mention those good old walk along beat em ups such as final fight, the turtles arcade game, golden axe, original robocop etc. Heck even original lemmings! had a scoring system, so it was very much a change over the era. Because however I had to work out some catagories for audiogames.net, and also to get things straight in my own head, these days I tend to catagorize arcade as pretty exclusively infinite levels, rack up score, and action for games that have a distinct structure and progression such as superliam, Pipe 2 etc. I fully agree there is considderable overlap, but in the interests of having some distinction, and because this is also a distinction I tend to think of myself it seemed a good idea to separate one sort of game from another. all the best, Dark. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Announcement from Draconis Entertainment
Hi Raul. That wouldn't surprise me, sinse synaesthesia and coloured hearing are well known anyway. My only problem with tying colours to sounds in game indeed is quite often the colours used for the sounds are not the same as the colours the sounds have in my brain, for example in alien outback those red ships aren't red, they're light blue to me, and those yellow ships are a darker, purple blue :D. Myself, while I appreciate people find colours to have less meaning, I would suggest that in a tetris type of game like change reaction colours might actually be workable as they would be closer to the many mainstream tetris style games that used matching of coloured blocks such as columns, Dr. Marrio, Wario's woods, mean bean machine, tetris attack, kirby's ghost trap and doubtless about a hundred others :D.

Re: [Audyssey] Announcement from Draconis Entertainment
True, but I can't see colour. People assume that we can just see black because I would imagine that this is what they associate with darkness. I know a lot of people don't even see light. I see light and shaddows of objects, ie cars, walls, etc depending on reflection of light and how bright it is. True colour via word associations do work but to see those well I don't or rather assume I don't. I probably do see black or at least white but can't recognise it. In an interesting note during some research I was doing for local uni I could see uv light but that was that. So whatever uv is I can assume I am able to see it even if I don't what I know what this is. same for darkness, I assume I can see black but don't associate darkness with anything.

Someone who is totally blind doesn't see any colors, and if you have to associate a color with that sensation it would be black which is the absence of all light.

Re: [Audyssey] blindness - Re: Announcement from DraconisEntertainment
not sure but the astros on the iss do say that colours from earth and other stars are sharper, though its everything seen as several points.

Re: [Audyssey] blindness - Re: Announcement fromDraconisEntertainment
Would have to agree with Thomas on this one. Even as someone who was born basically blind I do have somewhat of a concept of what black is. And like Thomas said, that's probably the closest you would come to describing total blindness. I actually had a fun experience going caving with a camp I was volunteering at. The children were all blind as were some of the volunteers, and one of the activities we did once we reached the far back of the cave was for all the sighted people to turn their lights off and just stand there and try and look around. Complete pitch darkness is what they saw... which would be the closest thing you could ever come to experiencing blindness since caves are said to be one of the darkest places on Earth. If you were in a cave for a few weeks with no light and when you finally did come back out of it, you would remain blind because of the fact that your eyes no longer had use for light and would be used to blackness. At least, that was what the guide said... :P. As to portraying Space, I don't know how it could be done accurately in pure audio. I think Tom had a good idea, but in reality... you wouldn't be able to hear stars burning, or planets moving, since there is no air in space to move sound through. However, that would probably be the closest to portraying that vast void in audio. All those warblings and odd sounds so many space-related soundscapes provide is illogical and doesn't make sense. lol --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
