Re: [Audyssey] crazy party?

2016-10-19 Thread dark 

Hi jess.

Pragma has mentioned several changes in beta 42.
There are new cards in the battle, such as parry and reaction. There is also 
a new kind of online party mode called microgame, though I've not tried it 
yet to see what it does.
Lastly, if you hit f4 in an online party you can hear the position of other 
players. Again, I've not got an online party working recently so I'm not 
sure, whenever I start a public server nobody connects and whenever I see 
someone else's server  they're always a ways through the game.


Still, those apparently are the changes.

hth.

Dark.

Well there have been games taking up 1-2gb but they are voiced fully and 
are story type things.

The general game size is a bit less than that.
The exception to this can be ren py gamebooks with voice support they 
can take up to 600mb of space.

Audio games do not require nearly as much RAM as a mainstream game.
For one reason, they do not display graphics.

The most hard drive space I have seen an audio game take up is around
300 Megabytes or so. There might be ones larger than that, but I doubt
this. Mainstream games have a number of 3D model files and graphical
textures, along with any files containing prerendered cutscenes. Back
when I could still play mainstream games, I had one game that required
20 Gigabytes of hard drive space to play.

Re: [Audyssey] memory

2016-10-19 Thread Shaun Everiss 
Well there are no graphics files for the most part except when you use a 
language like unity.

Usually its just the game it is not usually that much.
Now take into mind that if sound is graphics you could have twice as 
many sound files as you have graphics so you can still take up memmory.
However take in mind that your average blind person won't have an i7 
with 16-32gb ram, a 6gb twin video card, a 5tb hard drive, and all the 
extras.
He may have 4-8gb ram a i5-7 quad, a 1-2 maybe 3gb video card if he is 
lucky.

Windows 7/8/10, a 500-2tb hdd and maybe flash storage.
However the majority like me probably only have i series or core series 
dule core units, 4gb ram, a 32 bit or 64 bit os, 1 or 2gb graphics 
500-2tb hdds, win 7-8-10 etc.
A lot may still use xp and older systems than xp it depends on what cash 
you have.

I am still at home so am able to buy a computer every so often.
Another thing, the average blindy will keep his system till his battery 
explodes he can't afford to replace it usually.
I kept my first system till I dropped it and even then I tried to keep 
it going.

The next system I kept it till it got to slow.
The system after that had issues so I chucked it away.
The next system after that I kept till the screen broke.
The next one I kept till the keyboard, cd drive and fan broke.
The current one needs a good reformat but I havn't bothered because it 
still works enough.
Its still working and maybe when its battery or something explodes I 
will get another.

Though the time of new stuff is over.
Family are retired and that means I don't have the funds I used to do.
The next one could be new, but it could also be a older second hand ebay 
or x lease system.
It could also be reverted, ie I will go back to xp because thats all I 
can afford I have no idea.
Generally, a game needs to run at minimal on a system with 2gb ram, 
maybe windows xp and thats it.
A lot of us have vista or 7, and those that took advantage and have fast 
systems now have 10.

However, I know a lot that don't have the best.
When you make games for the blind you target the mid range, now don't 
get me wrong for those that can, we do have high powered devices but 
most can't so.
All the games I own run on this i5, and plenty of games I have I have 
had from my old single core unit.
It also takes a while to code a really cpu intensive game with all the 
power.
A blind guy like me may have access to sound cards a plenty though I 
have 2 of them, a creative one and a one that came with a headset.
For those with music and other thing in mind they actually do have the 
kit, and vertual machines and such.

Re: [Audyssey] memory

2016-10-19 Thread dark 

Hi.

Firstly as justin said, what takes up the space and computer memory in 
graphical games, especially the 3D monstrosities these days are the graphics 
themselves and cutscenes, audio games aren't half that bad. Some these days 
do cap out at the hundred mb mark, but that's usually due to having lots of 
sound files, and even that is tiny compared to mainstream games.


As to youtube, well no, there are no specific channels or pages for 
audiogames, though some people have created Youtube let's plays of 
audiogames.
Guides are more often in the form of podcasts and audio plays and such, if 
you check audiogames.net, I usually try to include links to audio reviews 
and such on the pages for the relevant games.

Hi Michael.

Phil has a list over at http://www.pcs-games.net/MacGame-co.htm

though it's not been updated in a year and I noticed it was missing a 
few games I know about.


As far as I know there's silver dollar and change reaction  from 
draconis, the games from audio it, (the inquisitor series, space 
encounter, flarestar etc), graille to the thief, blindside and I 
believe the blind swordsman since it's built in flash, though don't 
quote me on that last one.


There is also I believe interactive fiction and muds for the mac, and 
likely browser games too.


There might be more I'm missing, since I don't have a mac myself I 
only note the games in passing.


all the best,

Dark.
