Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Personally I agree with Josh, I don't see what is wrong with sapi. Sinse dolphin have (up to last year), been so precious about the api for supernova, very few games have run with it, but that's not stopped me playing Vipmud, alteraeon with Mush Z, Lone wolf etc. The exception of course is making textual games such as interactive fiction accessible, as happened with the choice of cave game I mentioned, however these days all the screen readers have working virtual cursers so just writing the text to the screen without clutter is fine.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Hi Charles, Lol. Yeah, I suppose for most people a wrapper is a wrap artist. However, in programming a wrapper is simply a piece of code that wraps another piece of code or a program with a different interface in order to make it easier for a developer to use the API etc in question.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Hi Dark, Yeah, I personally don't get what is wrong with Sapi either. It is a quick and easy API, works fairly well for what it does, and there are plenty of voices available for it. However, as a guess I suppose the voices are precisely the issue people have with it. A lot of Jaws users, for example, are use to Eloquence. Since Eloquence is not a Sapi voice they can't just use that with a game without the developer going through the Jaws API to use the screen reader directly rather than accessing Eloquence via Sapi. For that reason I guess some people want Jaws support so they could use Eloquence and the various Vocalizer voices which aren't available via Sapi. Of course, there is probably a cost issue here as well. Anyone who has a fairly up to date version of Jaws has a number of TTS engines and voices from Eloquence and several Vocalizer voices. They probably don't want to turn around and buy more voices from Cereproc, Cepstral, Nextup, etc given the fact that Jaws already offers them a lot of free voices. In short, as a guess I think the reason many users want screen reader support is because of the voices etc their screen reader provides aren't available for Sapi or are available at extra cost. Some of us who don't use Jaws, such as myself, aren't missing anything by using Sapi because we do not have various free TTS voices to miss. I use NVDA and own a handful of Sapi voices so using Sapi rather than my screen reader makes sense in my own case. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Hi, I do have to agree with you. A lot of people prefer to use the screen reader of the choice because it gives them the opertunity to use whatever voice they prefer. I have used SAPI 5 and I find it very easy to use in games that use it. -Original Message- From: Gamers [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Sky Mundell Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2014 8:41 AM To: 'Gamers Discussion list' Subject: Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?

Hi Tom. that is likely true regarding people's feelings, however equaly that arguement isn't really a tenable one anymore sinse the days when a high quality voice would cost you 200 quid or so are gone so your not really talking sky rocket prices. Plus, on a personal level I'd actually rather have one of the default ms voices such as mike than eloquence anyway, though this is likely me.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Hi Dark, Well, it is certainly true the cost of most Sapi voices have gone down in price. Most are reasonably priced about $30 to $45 USD which is well within a person's budget. At least most of the time. However, I disagree about Microsoft Mike, Mary, and Sam. In my opinion those are some of the absolutely worst voices on the market, and I am personally glad Microsoft finally discontinued them. The voices on Windows 8 are much more human sounding, and are almost as good as the Vocalizer voices. Even if someone doesn't want to upgrade to Windows 8 there are much better voices available for XP than the default Microsoft Sapi voices, and I can't really blame anyone for hating Sapi if all they have is the garbage voices like Mike, Mary, and Sam. I think if I were in that situation I'd take Eloquence over something like Mike or Sam myself. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Windows is still one of the major gaming systems the blind will use for a while. True there are a lot of mainstream accessable games from smart phones apple and android devices and some consoles. However most that can afford it are moving to win7 and up now. Yes eventually we may loose some of the vb6 titles but right now we are still going.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
There are a lot more things on the forum to. I also know for a fact because I am on the teams that mtg, ks and reality gaming have games out. In fact reality gaming have just gone live with their snow boarding beta. And this morning I did some sound work for at least 2 upcoming titles and set up a submition file for sounds for other uses, so things are happening. So in general things are moving its just no one tells anyone unless there is something to release.

Although, you don't always here about them on this list there are various new games available that have been written in the last few months or so. From Draconis Entertainment we have their Silver Dollar game for Windows as well as for Mac. Draconis has also released Change Reaction 2.0 for Windows as well.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
darrin, to be honest devs can just use sapi. Compaired to other things windows is probably easy to develop because you don't have restrictions on what you do, I guess the smart phone will take over but I have not seen that many blind devs actually make games for the smart phone market and those that are out really although good for smart phones are probably crap compaired to their windows varients. I am still a firm believer at least for the short term maybe longer that we will have windows. The big jump is when vb6 dies then we may see more of the games drop off and who knows. However its not all over till the fat lady sings and even if the core devs all died we would still have some of an indie industry active so its not an issue really. shaun.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Hi Shaun, Actually, compared to other operating systems like OSX Windows is more difficult to develop for not easier. The reason has to do with too many different configurations, versions, and too many libraries and languages that makes Windows difficult to support. For example, right now there are 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows actively being sold on the market. Well, if I write a program and compile it for a 64-bit version of Windows it will not run on 32-bit versions of Windows. Therefore I have to design my game to be 32-bit in order to support 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows, and by doing so will have to forgo the advantages of a 64-bit OS and processor. If I choose something like Microsoft's .NET Framework I first have to determine which version is present on the machine. As I can't rely on everyone to be running the latest and greatest that could be cause for incompatibility right there. Not to mention all the third-party dependencies I may use with my game such as SlimDX, SDL .NET, OpenAL .NET, whatever won't come with the system meaning I still have to make sure they are installed and setup correctly in order to run my game. Those are just two of several things that makes supporting Windows something of a nightmare to develop for and support. With Apple's OSX there is only one target environment, 64-bit, and so the issue of 32-bit compatibility is a non-issue. Although, there is a free .NET Framework called Mono available for OSX most developers choose to use Object-C and the native libraries meaning they don't have to worry too much about which .NET Framework is installed or if x number of dependencies are installed, because most of what a game developer needs should already be available on OSX from the get-go.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Hi Shaun, True enough. I think a lot of developers choose not to say anything unless they have something of substance to say because a lot of us have gotten sick of negative feedback from this and other accessible gaming communities. The minute a developer announces he or she has something in the works right away people want to know when it will be released, will want constant updates on how it is going, and if a developer fails to deliver a game by the expected date then they can expect a lot of grief from the community wanting to know why it wasn't released on such and such a day. Point being if gamers are worried that developers are not developing games, not making announcements, etc they really have themselves to blame. there are developers like myself who are working on stuff when they can, but we do not want to make any big announcements as we know the general reaction from the community will ultimately come back to bite us on the butt.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
I agree charles. And its actually not that hard to multidevelop for screenreaders now, with the screen reader api its easy enough if you know how. Out of all the readers, nvda is the one I'd go for being opensource and non restrictive. And to be honest outputting text on screen is fine to. there are console apps to. I don't know where you got that idea from darrin but its not as bad as that at least not for a couple years or so. It costs a lot to get into development of an i device and the device costs a lot. Android is another thing but still it has its own requirements. the pc is still the market for now.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
Hi Shaun, Actually, there are more than one library out there for Windows for accessing multiple screen readers. There is Accessible Output for Python, there is Universal Speech which is available for various languages, and now there is Tolk. So I agree supporting multiple screen readers isn't all that difficult these days assuming you are willing to abide by the license agreement for the screen reader API you are using. However, regarding iDevices it is very expensive to develop for. At least if the end user is a Windows user. He or she must purchase a Mac running OSX, must buy the proper development toolkits for iOS, and probably have an iPad or iPhone available for testing. Therefore I don't really see a lot of Windows developers just leaving the Windows platform to go for iDevices any time soon because they have to have different hardware, software, and skills to develop for an iDevice.

The minute a developer announces he or she has something in the works right away people want to know when it will be released, will want constant updates on how it is going, and if a developer fails to deliver a game by the expected date then they can expect a lot of grief from the community wanting to know why it wasn't released on such and such a day. Point being if gamers are worried that developers are not developing games, not making announcements, etc they really have themselves to blame. there are developers like myself who are working on stuff when they can, but we do not want to make any big announcements as we know the general reaction from the community will ultimately come back to bite us on the butt.

So in general things are moving its just no one tells anyone unless there is something to release. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more?
hi tom. I'm Afraid I might not have said what I intended clearly enough. I was not claiming that Mike, Mary and Sam were decent voices, or as good as vocalizer, only that I personally do not rate eloquence any more than mike or sam, and so find it a little difficult to sunderstand why a person (as I've heard some do), would use jaws with eloquence in a game and prefer that to ms mike. Vocalizer I agree is superior to any of these, indeed I've got the realspeak solo Daniel voice for sapi myself. for that reason, and I'm glad microsoft have upgraded their sapi voices on future windows, my comment was just about eloquence, which I've heard lots of people use even now as their default synth voice whis is odd sinse better alternatives are available even in the same program. Beware the grue! Dark. - Original Message - From: "Thomas Ward" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2014 8:05 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] New games for windows not being produced any more? Hi Dark, Well, it is certainly true the cost of most Sapi voices have gone down in price. Most are reasonably priced about $30 to $45 USD which is well within a person's budget. At least most of the time. However, I disagree about Microsoft Mike, Mary, and Sam. In my opinion those are some of the absolutely worst voices on the market, and I am personally glad Microsoft finally discontinued them. The voices on Windows 8 are much more human sounding, and are almost as good as the Vocalizer voices. Even if someone doesn't want to upgrade to Windows 8 there are much better voices available for XP than the default Microsoft Sapi voices, and I can't really blame anyone for hating Sapi if all they have is the garbage voices like Mike, Mary, and Sam. I think if I were in that situation I'd take Eloquence over something like Mike or Sam myself. Cheers! On 3/6/14, dark wrote: Hi Tom. that is likely true regarding people's feelings, however equaly that arguement isn't really a tenable one anymore sinse the days when a high quality voice would cost you 200 quid or so are gone so your not really talking sky rocket prices. Plus, on a personal level I'd actually rather have one of the default ms voices such as mike than eloquence anyway, though this is likely me. 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.
