Re: [Audyssey] Swamp 2.9 is out just FYI
although aprone didn't actually post on here that the main server had been switched, he did in fact send a message a few hours before that, saying that he was finishing up the testing server, then it would be moved over. and i do believe that he has in fact talked about the fact that 2.9 was nearing completion. yes, the voices are fantastic, so many to choose from! some cool new weapons added in, and the new skill tree is very nice! regards dallas On 09/04/2013, shaun everiss wrote: > hmmm who is moloc. > Seriously that guy sounds like either a zombie hybred or a futuristic > millitary cyborg of some sort. > > At 04:29 PM 4/9/2013, you wrote: >>Well if we're putting people to voices, I'm 13, and the ridiculous >>character at 38. >> >> >>On 4/8/13, Wil James wrote: >> > You will have to give the new voices a try.

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
tom I couldn't aggree with you more. I actually grew up in the late 80s and 90s. it changed around 1995. It was much simpler before the net sertainly nothing major happened till after 2000 its probably because things are to easy now that all this expantion is blowing over. You are right about it being offtopic though, however since you are responding to this today I figure I have at least one day of this banter. anyway, living in a small country I can realise how that growing is going. my citty is getting bigger and running out of land, a lot of the quiet country side and villages around here are growing into citties within themselves. Its progress ofcause but people are not to happy about it. loads of protests and such. some succeed some don't. But as you say its the way things are. One day when we can time travel I'd like to go back, to the 30s then 60s 70s and see how things were more simpler but oh well we have what we have and I am happy that for at least 20 years it was not all about tablets and iapads. kids are being born into computers instead of writing now.

Hi Dark, Well, I think we should do something about it then. AS you know I am married and I have sighted assistance pretty regularly and can get around Google's CAPTCHA system just because of that fact. So if the group wants to formulate a list of things we would like addressed/fixed I'll write the proposal and send it to Google and see what we can do about it. I'd be happy to send the same proposal to Puppet Nightmares making them aware that there are a number of V.I. players having troubles signing up because of their CAPTCHA system being difficult to understand. As for paying for help I see your point, but I also know that isn't always practical for everyone. That is one of those things that really comes down to someone's personal situation and circumstances. Some people are unusually lucky and live in an apartment building or complex where people are willing to help for free. Although, I've found if I really want someone to help and make it fair to offer them a small sum of cash say $5 to read my screen for a few minutes, or to help me sort some items out etc. People are much more willing to help when they personally get something out of it. So if you ask them to help again they will be more willing because they are getting paid for their assistance than simply being expected to perform on demand when they themselves have other things to do at that particular time. On 4/9/13, dark wrote: Hi Tom. On the issue of firefox, well fair enough, however bare in mind that for someone like myself who lives alone and is also ethical, sighted assistance means physically paying someone as I do my research assistant, which is why I describe it not as a viable option, particularly as lots of organizations like the Rnib hear in the Uk do little to nothing about access "because your carer can do it" As regards google, their old audio captures system worked fine on a set of good speakers or headphones I found, and indeed in discussing capture access to several devs I recommended it as an accessible alternative. However, that is no longer the case, and given that google do! tout this as an accessible alternative something really does need to be done. It is pretty obvious to me that when changing their audio captures, they never actually had anyone test them without reference to the images, since I've never actually managed to get them right, however given how hard google are to get hold of I don't even know how to bring this to their attention since the very captures that are the problem exist on their mail contact form. This is also a stark contrast to the way google used to be. i remember in around 2005 needing to setup a google groups account, and they had no alternative captures at all. I however simply phoned their technical support line (their mail form also had a capture), and someone created me an account with a password I later changed. I was quite impressed at that level of access, sadly that doesn't seem the case anymore. Beware the Grue!

Greetings gamers, Just a brief note to let you know that ChangeReaction for Windows is entering its final stage of beta testing in the next few days. We hope to release the game around the 1st of May, but that is only a rough estimate. The slight delay has been due, in part, to an emergency migration to a new web host, which also meant that we needed to move forward our plans to revamp our web site. We expect to launch ChangeReaction for Windows and unveil the new version of the web site at the same time. Thanks for your patience.

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
That's probably why back in 2000 when Nintendo remade the NES classic Crystalis for the Game Boy Color they dumbed down the story until it was unrecognizeable and totally redoing the music to the point where you felt nothing but scorn. It was more about money rather than doing justice to what was a favorite game for a lot of people back in the NES days. And Crystalis is a game that might be cool in audio, although granted it would probably be quite difficult to port.

Hi Dark, Well, I think we should do something about it then. AS you know I am married and I have sighted assistance pretty regularly and can get around Google's CAPTCHA system just because of that fact. So if the group wants to formulate a list of things we would like addressed/fixed I'll write the proposal and send it to Google and see what we can do about it. I'd be happy to send the same proposal to Puppet Nightmares making them aware that there are a number of V.I. players having troubles signing up because of their CAPTCHA system being difficult to understand. As for paying for help I see your point, but I also know that isn't always practical for everyone. That is one of those things that really comes down to someone's personal situation and circumstances. Some people are unusually lucky and live in an apartment building or complex where people are willing to help for free. Although, I've found if I really want someone to help and make it fair to offer them a small sum of cash say $5 to read my screen for a few minutes, or to help me sort some items out etc. People are much more willing to help when they personally get something out of it. So if you ask them to help again they will be more willing because they are getting paid for their assistance than simply being expected to perform on demand when they themselves have other things to do at that particular time. On 4/9/13, dark wrote: Hi Tom. On the issue of firefox, well fair enough, however bare in mind that for someone like myself who lives alone and is also ethical, sighted assistance means physically paying someone as I do my research assistant, which is why I describe it not as a viable option, particularly as lots of organizations like the Rnib hear in the Uk do little to nothing about access "because your carer can do it" As regards google, their old audio captures system worked fine on a set of good speakers or headphones I found, and indeed in discussing capture access to several devs I recommended it as an accessible alternative. However, that is no longer the case, and given that google do! tout this as an accessible alternative something really does need to be done. It is pretty obvious to me that when changing their audio captures, they never actually had anyone test them without reference to the images, since I've never actually managed to get them right, however given how hard google are to get hold of I don't even know how to bring this to their attention since the very captures that are the problem exist on their mail contact form. This is also a stark contrast to the way google used to be. i remember in around 2005 needing to setup a google groups account, and they had no alternative captures at all. I however simply phoned their technical support line (their mail form also had a capture), and someone created me an account with a password I later changed. I was quite impressed at that level of access, sadly that doesn't seem the case anymore. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Corporate VS IndependentDeveloperswasModeratorMessage
Hi Dark, All of that makes sense to me. Although, as a commercial developer myself I have financial reasons for not adding a very sophisticated level editor to my games. In your message below you gave two examples where an FPS game like Shades of Doom could be modified to create a game where the player infiltrates the HQ of a rival gang or comes up with an SF mod fighting robots etc. That's certainly all well and good for the end user, because they can pay their $30 and then use the games level editor to create an unlimited number of new games by modifying it, but bad for commercial developers because he or she can't sell what is essentially already available by modifying the existing game. So from that point of view I think if I add a level editor to my games it would have to be more on par with a map editor. That is you can expand the number of levels in the game by creating new maps, moving the existing items such as doors, keys, and enemies around as you like but can not change sound effects or the game play through the level editor. This would make it possible to expand the game with new content while not giving the customer enough tools to create new games that would impact the developer's ability to create new games and sell them for a small profit. Its hard enough for an audio game developer to make anything off a game without engineering the means to put himself out of business. So I guess it really comes down to the fact if the developer can afford to give away tools that lets end users do what they want with the product. Its one thing when we consider the new Swamp campaign editor, because Aprone isn't out to make money off the game. All of it is supported through donations and such. Its quite another when you consider GMA, PCs, and USA Games are attempting to sell games and a full editor that gives the end customer unlimited leeway to create new levels, change sounds, whatever would probably hurt the developer in the end. as they wouldn't be able to sell new games.

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Hi Tom. ] The question of assistance is really another matter (besides I do address it in my thesis), and should likely be kept off list as it's not exactly game related and would require a more lengthy conversation than is possible I think, (heck, I devoted about 5000 words of my thesis to it). Getting back to captchas though, I agree if you can contact google that would really be helpful and a good step forward. Myself, i would either like A, captchs such as google's previous audio ones which were! doable, or B, a text alternative with a symple question that people could answer like the rpg ones, such as what planet do we live on, which country has Washington as it's capital, which country is Paris in, if a person is not a boy they are a what? etc. If google did! have an accessible alternative as they used to, then we could advise developers such as the gm of puppet nightmares that it was available. As regards puppet nightmares, since I have discussed access measures such as image labeling with the gm in the past I did mean to contact him myself regarding the capture, however since I've been stuck with this less than reliable free net connection I likely couldn't stay connected to the puppet nightmares site long enough to send a message (one reason I haven't played for a while). I will however be heading back to my parents on Wednesday so could do it then. I will suggest for the time being that he do as the gm of the game uncharted peak does, and allow vi users to contact him by mail in order to have accounts created, though of course I will also note that if he did! want to put in a text alternative which asked a question based on the info about the game on the front page, for example what is the name of the type of creatures which players control in the game, (the answer being soul puppets), that would work too. I really hope though google can be made to see sense, since it's amazing how many people do use their captcha system, which is why it's so bad it not being accessible. Beware the Grue!

[Audyssey] Crossword and sudoku prises?
Hello all, There are certainly crosswords and sudoku offered by some newspapers for a prise when solved, and those are on the internet too. Are there any of those available and often updated that can be imported into the BG Sudoku or BG Crossword, played and solved, and sent back to the newspaper or whoever offers them? Best!

Re: [Audyssey] Corporate VS IndependentDeveloperswasModeratorMessage
Hi John, Yes. the Swamp Campaign Editor is pretty much what Dark is describing in terms of level editors etc. I don't know if I'd personally want to develop something like that for my games, but it is worth considering as it would add a lot of replay value to existing games.

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Hi Dark, Well, I think we should do something about it then. AS you know I am married and I have sighted assistance pretty regularly and can get around Google's CAPTCHA system just because of that fact. So if the group wants to formulate a list of things we would like addressed/fixed I'll write the proposal and send it to Google and see what we can do about it. I'd be happy to send the same proposal to Puppet Nightmares making them aware that there are a number of V.I. players having troubles signing up because of their CAPTCHA system being difficult to understand. As for paying for help I see your point, but I also know that isn't always practical for everyone. That is one of those things that really comes down to someone's personal situation and circumstances. Some people are unusually lucky and live in an apartment building or complex where people are willing to help for free. Although, I've found if I really want someone to help and make it fair to offer them a small sum of cash say $5 to read my screen for a few minutes, or to help me sort some items out etc. People are much more willing to help when they personally get something out of it. So if you ask them to help again they will be more willing because they are getting paid for their assistance than simply being expected to perform on demand when they themselves have other things to do at that particular time.

Re: [Audyssey] Solving Captchas was Anymore RPG Games?
Hi Amanda, Yeah, I think we are all in agreement captchas are from an accessibility standpoint more trouble than they are worth. There are other more accessible options available to a web developer, but the reality is we need to find a way to deal with them because I doubt they are going away any time soon. :D On 4/8/13, Amanda Burt wrote: > I agree, there's no need for captures. > > Amanda --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
