Re: [Audyssey] SpellStack out on the App Store!
For Ken: Player 1 tiles are orange and square. Player 2 tiles are blue and have rounded corners. For Phil: Beginner Betty and Medium Marge have the vocabulary of about a 10 year old, and each AI gets to use more and more obscure words. SpellStack Sally gets to use the whole dictionary on you. They also try to go after breaking your words more (and protect themselves from getting their letters broken).

Hi Audyssey, This is Kwasi Mensah, the developer behind Stem Stumper, a game I know a lot of people on this list enjoy. I wanted to let everyone know that we just released our newest game SpellStackhttp://www.ananseproductions.com/spellstack/. It's this awesome combination of Connect 4 and Scrabble that lets you play your friends online that you can see in action herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWEz1OIARUI. You can pick it up on the Google Play App Storehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ananse.Helena right now. We're still working getting through Apple's submission process but we should hopefully also be out for iPhone/iPads by the end of the month. It's not quite an audio game. It's a word/strategy game that we've spent a lot of time with Talkback to make accessible. I'm going to be reaching out to podcasters to make sure there's a good audio tutorial to help guide people through the learning curve.

[Audyssey] New Word Game from Makers of Stem Stumper!
Hey Audyssey, My name's Kwasi Mensah and you might remember me as the developer behind Stem Stumper. My company is getting ready to release our next game and I thought the people on this list would make great testers. Our new game is an iOS/Android word game called SpellStack (it's a cross between Connect 4 and Scrabble). It's in alpha (which means it's functionally near completion but we need to make it look and sound pretty). You can join us on Testlfight (iOS or Android) at http://tflig.ht/103c0O5 A brief description of the game: SpellStack is how you decide who your smartest friend is. It's not enough to have the vocabulary of a 19th century poet, but you have to have the smarts to make sure that your beautiful use of epicaricacy isn't shattered right in front of you. Combining the best parts of Connect 4, and Scrabble, tactically plan how to show your friends that it's not just what you spell but how you spell it. Steal the other player's letters, break their words all while defending your own. The ultimate test of smarts that lets you easily find friends on Facebook and Twitter for a multiplayer battle of wits. And if that's not enough, we come with several levels of AI and brain scratching puzzles to test your mettle against.

Hey guys, I have a new post on my company's blog on how the blind see the world is at http://www.ananseproductions.com/2010/12/20/how-the-blind-see-the-world/ .

[Audyssey] Iphone's Used on List
Hey guys, What version of iPhones/iPod Touches are people on this list using? I saw the email chain of people disappointed with papa sangre being locked to iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation) or iPad. I would have thought that most people on the list would be using these versions since they support VoiceOver, Zoom and Color Contrast.

[Audyssey] Duckblaster
Hey guys, My name's Kwasi Mensah and I'm working on an accessible iPhone game. I've been trying to ease into the audio games scene by playing games mentioned on this list. I just tried playing Duckblaster (from http://www.usagamesinteractive.com/downloads/pb-games/ ) and it became impossibly hard to play as soon as multiple ducks were in play.

Re: [Audyssey] Duckblaster
Thanks for the advice. I wanted to make sure I just needed to get better at it (versus others feeling frustrated by the game also).

However, Duckblaster is suppose to get harder and harder to play as more and more ducks get added to the game. That's all apart of the challenge of that game. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Duckblaster
Thanks a lot dark! I actually saw the email you sent neophyte and started checking out those links. I'll be a lot more organized about which games I play! thanks, kwasi On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 11:56 AM, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Kwasi. Might I suggest that rather than picking random games people on this list happen to mention in course of a discussion, you go and check the full information on www.pcsgames.net and www.audiogames.net? There are many games such as Sarah from Pcs, shades of doom from gma, sound rts, entombed and goodness knows what else which are well worth playing, but which may not be discussed on the list simply because of the topic of the day. the Pcs games list shows you many websites and has information from them, while audiogames.net has some (hopefully helpful), reviews of individual games with extra links pluss various search features to catagorize the database.
