Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Hi Cara, An interesting question. Myself I more or less assumed a first-person shooter and a first-person adventure game were one and the same thing with the only difference being that a shooter is more combat oriented where an adventure game more puzzle oriented. By my definition a first-person game would allow the player to move 360 degrees, or the cardinal directions of north, south, east, and west at the least. I will confess I am not familiar with the Mist series of games you speak of so can only formulate an opinion based on what you said below. In my opinion they would not fit the definition of first-person in my point of view, but that is only because I can not in fairness compare the games firsthand to my definition and concept of first-person.

Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Hi Dark, Fair enough. Although in my humble opinion first-person shooter and first-person adventure game are synonymous with each other. A shooter is more combat oriented where adventures are perhaps mostly puzzle oriented, but both are first-person in perspective and style of game play. Thus why I listed Shades of Doom. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] perspective was; Re: first person adventure games.
Hi Dark, Good point. The movement is very important in defining what is first-person verses side-scroller etc so I do take your point below in terms of audio games. Obviously, in a graphical game there is a huge difference between first-person and third-person perspective. In first-person games like Doom, for example, all you see is a hand with perhaps a gun in it as you would if you were actually present. In third-person games you actually get to see the character on screen as well as other aspects of the current area from a third-person perspective. It is difficult to define such a difference from the perspective of audio only so therefore some other aspect like movement needs to form the basis of what we mean by first-person. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Hi Tom. I'd totally agree that the first person perspective is common to both and whether something is an adventure or not depends upon what the character does, indeed the chief reason I created the first person adventure genre is that I looked around and saw a huge number of games that had a first person perspective, but played far slower than most shooters and were based on puzzles, environmental adaptations or atmosphere such as pappasangre and blindside on Ios or Sarah and terraformers on pc, hence why I thought a new genre category was needed.

Re: [Audyssey] mist games (was first person adventure games)
Mist? lol! I played those with my ex-wife and a friend of ours. I remember there were times when it was tricky to get set up right to pick up things, though my memory might be faulty in this regard. The real thing that made Mist very impressive was that the puzzles were very difficult and different from most adventure style games. There was one that was sort of like Simon where you had to arrange musical tones to open a secret door iirc. There were also some fiendishly devilish word puzzles. One for instance used a short sentence where the only vowel in the entire sentence was y. It made guessing it extremely difficult I only played the first game, that intermittently, and very late at night, so I apologize for not being able to give more details. At the same time we were playing Mist, my friend was playing World of Warcraft and Betrayal at Crondor, so it's quite possible I"m mixing things up. I remember the Crondor game had these puzzle locks where you'd have to solve a riddle and flip the lock tumblers to the proper letters to solve it. I always liked that mechanic as well.

Hi, If you mean which Sapi voice is used. Yes, you can. If you mean actually change the type of voice output used such as Sapi, a certain screen reader, etc the answer is no. Cheers!
