Re: [Audyssey] Whispering in swamp was Swamp 2.0 accuracy stats bug
Yep, good explanation from Richard, that should get you up and running with whispers. Worth noting that if a player has a space in their name, you'll need to replace that with an underscore, underline, whatever you want to call it (shift and dash basically). If you spel a player's name wrong, you'll hear a message saying they couldn't be found, so don't worry, as long as your message started with /w it shouldn't end up going public.

[Audyssey] Possible additions to Swamp keyconfig
Hey Aprone, I'm running Swamp virtualised on a Macbook Air here. For the most part, things are hunky dory (London speak for rather good), but I have had to do a lot of tinkering with the key config. This is partly due to Apple's slightly insane approach where they have a huge trackpad, the entirety of which serves as one giant mouse button when you press on it, and mostly due to their keyboard layout being a bit different. There are a few keys which the key config system doesn't seem to recognise at all, such as backspace (also tried that written all in uppercase). I don't know how your system works, but is there a way I could perhaps send you the ascii values for the problematic keys and get those added?

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp version 2.2
Hey Jeremy, The rep bug still isn't fixed. I just had the battle of my short Swampy life, made it right the way across map 1 with only an axe and was down to 1% health at some points of the run. Got back to the safe zone with 303 rep, saved, went to the safe zone menu, then to get equipment, and boom, all of a sudden I've only got 3 rep. I tried exiting and reconnecting before saving just in case the server had the correct stats, but no joy. This is running 2.2 patched. I'm Scottsdale in the swamp. If there's any log files or anything I can send over to help track it down, just shout. *bangs head against desk* Scott On 5/1/12, Ben gamehead...@aol.co.uk wrote: Thanks for this man! -Original Message- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of Jeremy Kaldobsky Sent: 01 May 2012 18:14 To: audyssey Subject: [Audyssey] Swamp version 2.2 OK guys, in my rush to toss out 2.1 before work, there were a few overlooked bugs.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp version 2.2
Hi Jeremy, How sure are you that that's the pattern? Reason I ask is that I dropped from 303 rep to 3, which is less than I started out with when I connected. That doesn't fit with what you described below unless I'm missing something. Scott On 5/1/12, Jeremy Kaldobsky jer...@kaldobsky.com wrote: In regards to the rep bug, I should jump in to give a bit of information about it. You aren't actually losing any reputation even though it seems like it. What's happening is that the client is incorrectly giving you too much reputation as you play and kill zombies. The server holds the correct amount and when you interact with the safe zone or travel, the mistake is caught and your client is given the correct amount. While this doesn't make it less irritating, at least you know that you aren't being jipped out of reputation points that you've earned. Hey Lori, There's a rep bug that Jeremy is trying to iron out.

[Audyssey] Swamp quests
Hi all, I'm tentatively dabbling in Swamp, so forgive the newbie question. When you're on a quest, and you reach a building that's likely to contain the item you're searching for, what then? For example, if I were on a quest for replacement spark plugs and I've been instructed to check the places that sell car parts, my first instinct would be the Automart. When I get there, I can wander around inside the building to the most likely isles and go up to the parts counter, but I don't find anything. Any pointers appreciated... I'm down to just an axe, so could really do with the rep to stock up on ammo.

Re: [Audyssey] Swamp quests
Cheers chaps, between those replies I just completed my first quest. Treated myself to a shiny new Winchester, then promptly died and lost said shiny new Winchester. Ha, so it goes!

Go down to quest.wav, and hit enter on it. That is the sound the quest item will make. Wehn you get close enough to it, you wil hear this sound. As mentioned, just walk over it and it will say you picked upthat particular item. Then your mission/quest key should say to take it to the safe zone and donate it. Do that and you earn yor 250 rep. One nifty little trick is if you have a winchester with a scope, or an m40. Use the scope to search buildings from the outside. The scope will allow you to find items inside most buildings without having to go inside. If it is there, your scope will let you know. Otherwise just walking around the outside you will probably hear the item inside. The only 2 buildings this does not work on is K mart or the church. They ar just too big. But the other buildings are small enough to walk around the outside to hear the quest item ping.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT competition - any interest?
Whether there'd be enough interest (or indeed time in Philip's schedule) to justify such a framework is debatable, but how about this. People vote by rating games out of 10 on different aspects, as in a score of 10 is this is killer, a score of 5 is it ticks the boxes and a score of 1 is meh, not so much. A few categories that would apply across the board to most genre of games I can think of would be originality, replayability, sound design, stability (you'd need a catchier title for that one), and perhaps round it off with a very generalised overall, how awesome is this game question. That way, the categories combine to make it fairer. A Bop IT clone might recieve low marks from most people for originality, but there's room for an inovative genius to step up to the mark with a Bop IT clone that turns out to be totally addictive and they'll get the credit they deserve for replayability. Similarly, games that are great can shine even with bad sound design, or awesome sound design can still stand out as what it is even if the gaming experience ends up being a bit drab. I suggested the overall awesomeness category because, for me at least, there have been games I've loved or gone back to time and again but I can't always explain why. It'd be a balancing act, but with the scores being made public, I think there could be a fair system here.

How do you judge between say a new clone of BopIt and say a modern remake of Castlevania or something like that.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games Halloween Project
Hi Tom, As much as I'm itching to get my hands on MOTA 3d and see what the engine can do, I reckon the side scroller with extensive 2d movement would be the most appropriate for a retro take on this series. I'd say learn a valuable lesson from MOTA and go with your gut instinct rather than what we want. If you left this thread here for long enough, there'd likely be a fairly even split between the gamers who see games as a challenge and compare them to mainstream wanting FPS, and the people who play games for fun sticking to what they know and love in the form of another side scroller. IMHO, with a development timeframe like this (assuming you intend to release on or around 31st October), getting something addictive out should be the focus rather than pushing boundaries. Remember that whatever you release is going to be a first taste of a true FPS environment rendered in audio for some people, and if that's not water-tight, it might impact sales of MOTA 3D. Reputation is everything in a small comunity like this, so for a quick release, do something you're 100% sure you're going to nail. Scott On 9/28/11, Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Dark, Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. If I were going to do a 2d side-scroller obviously I would include full 2d elements like climbing up and down staircases, jumping low walls, jumping onto ledges above/below you, etc. All of that is pretty par for the course. What I meant to say is that I could use a more traditional 2d layout where the level is a long rectangle rather than a square is in the case of MOTA. The levels could start out simple and get more complex depending on where you are. For instance, the first couple of levels might be out in the courtyard jumping low walls, fighting off skeletons, zombies, and werewolves, etc. Then, you get into the castle proper. Here you would have wooden staircases, hidden spike traps, and other traditional Castlevania elements. The basic point I was making is that creating a 2d level is a lot less complex than a 3d one. That is especially true for something like Q9 or Super Liam where there is no full 2d movement involved. However, it sounds like the majority of gamers so far want 3d so I'm now leaning that way.

As we've discussed on list before, Q9 and Superliam, while both fun, don't really qualify as 2D sinse they make litle to no use of an actual second dimention. For a castlevania game, some or all of which would be set in a castle, going up stairs, climbing around and finding items (with of course the big boss fight on the highest tower), would be a crytical part of gameplay, indeed the stairs made a huge difference to Super castlevania, changing where you fought enemies, which route was easier and where items were, indeed some levels just involved very long assents or descents going up or down stairs. I personally would feel quite disappointed if a castlevania game just involved walking along hitting things as fast as possible jumping the occasional pit like Q9.

The 3d navigation isn't bad, but could use improvements etc. Plus it takes a bit more time to do a full 3d level as there is a lot more to code. With a 2d side-scroller it doesn't really take much to code at all. Especially, if we are talking simple levels like Q9 or Super Liam for an initial release. I think, and this is just my thoughts currently, doing the initial release as a side-scroller is probably the right thing to do. For one, it is much simpler to code than a full 3d game. Two, it can be made into a classic arcade game like the original Castlevania which for some people would be something of a retro remake. Finally, we know the ability to create side-scrollers is extremely stable, is working well, and I can borrow lots of code from MOTA to get a basic game up and running in a fairly short amount of time. So it would be the logical choice here. However, before I make it final I would like to get people's input on it. After all, there are plenty of advantages in a FPS game too. It just might take a little longer to create. Yet it would be more rewarding, I think, if it was in full 3d. Cheers! On 9/28/11, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Tom. Myself, I can't actually decide.

Fair play Dark, after reading the messages between you and Tom and your description, I'm starting to understand the untapped potential here. I grew up on mainstream games, but really only ever geeked out on MK and a couple of beat 'em ups that were playable back in the SNES and MegaDrive days.

Although, a slight correction. According to the Castlevania manual those slime pits are actually suppose to be pools of blood. I call them blood pools for short. Only they do look more like slime than blood because Nintendo changed the color from red to green in order to sell it to younger audiences in the USA and elsewhere. What they should have done, in my opinion, is release a version rated T, for teen, and then a rated m version for mature audiences. After all, i've played the Japanese version and it totally rocks. there is lots of stuff they yanked out like the naked statues, turned the blood green instead of red, and things like that to make it less offensive to American audiences.

Re: [Audyssey] What is Mk?
Nope, it's a mainstream fighting game series that's been around since the early 90's on consoles. There have been a few versions released for PC too, but nothing recent that I'm aware of. Most of the MK games have been playable to a fairly high extent by blind people, and this is even more the case with the latest couple of releases due to the awesome sound design of the games. It's worth pointing out that playable is different from accessible, so although there are audio cues of some kind for most forms of action or defence, and it's possible to tell the location of your character and whoever you're going up against nowadays from sound alone, none of that has been put in place specifically to enhance accessibility.

Yup, agreed on all fronts dude. Round two was a particularly impressive display of playing on recovery times I thought, seems like everytime you got up he was perfectly placed and ready with his next move. Tbh I listened and thought not sure I would've been able to hold off flawless victory here. Quite an education. Scott On 8/24/11, Yohandy yohand...@gmail.com wrote: Lol something like that.

Re: [Audyssey] Mota thoughts
Hi Tom, Hmmm, the issue with assigning silence to shift for me would be that it'd probably make it tricky to get information whilst running, and that's kinda the main reason I asked about the silence function. Alt would be perfect, but it sounds like the API is pretty determined to hold onto that. Bit out of left field, but how about backspace? My thinking is that it's a nice big button to aim for so good for shutting speech up even when things are getting busy, plus so far as I've seen it's a consistent placement for non-US layouts. One thought that's just struck as I wrote the idea is that I've seen backspace be assigned to snap around 180 before. If that's something you had planned for the FPS version, we're back to square 1. Scott On 8/19/11, Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Well, the alt key is problematic. At the moment because I used the Windows API to draw the Window the alt key is automatically asigned to pull up the blasted context window menu. I can't seem to find a decent way to disable this behavior. So if you pressed alt to silence speech you would also bring up the context menu for the game as well. The only way to fix that problem is to use something like Direct3D as a window manager so that it would free up the alt key for use in games. As for the grave accent key it could work, but it is way out of the way. It is not something that is a logical key asignment which brings us right back to the problem. I believe in mapping keys to logical keyboard assignments. The grave accent key isn't logical since most screen readers and speech devices use control or escape to silence speech. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Mota thoughts
Just a tidbit to add to the stairs discussion, it's currently not possible to run up/down stairs either. Would be handy if you could get that resolved, what with there being so many timed levers in the game. Cheers Scott On 8/17/11, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Tom. Fair enough on the look code. part of the problem is the instant you see an enemy, it's attacking you even when your above it on the stairs and it's below you. in a game like super castlevania (which had lots of stairs), you would usually just have to wait until the enemy patrolled away from the bottom of the stairs so that you could go down and hitt it. This might actually be an alternative solution for the side scroller, making enemies patrol back and forth and having the enemies only targit you when your on the same level as them. As I said with jumping, it didn't seem to happen with pits, for instance I could get over that first fire pit with either a running jump, or a standing jump from right on the ledge provided I held the keys, but it did seem to happen on ropes for some reason more often though this might just be me needing to get used to the mechanics (something which is actually nice to see in an audio game for once). i'll give the game another try and see if I can work around this.

I've done it plenty of times myself and all I can say is to try again if that happens.You will get a feel for jumping onto ledges after a while. As to your second point that's an unresolved technical problem between side-scrollers and 3d based game play. You can not shoot from a staircase, ledge, etc because the look up/down commands page up and down only changes the y axis of view and unfortunally in MOTA the z axis is up/down. So I'm going have to write a custom look up/down function for this game specifically to resolve this problem or rewrite the targeting code to do this automatically in a 2d environment. Either way it is one of those things I intend to fix sometime between now and rc1. Cheers! On 8/17/11, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi. Well I've finally6 got a copy of mota, and I'm liking what I'm seeing thus far, the analogue jump system is as i expected, as is the running jumps. the only two miner niggles I have are first, for some reason you don't always seem to reach a ledge after climbing up a rope and jumping off, sometimes you fall back to the bottom even when you've climbed as far as you can upwards. A note, perhaps the indicator saying stone ledge whenb your in a position to jump off might help, as might an indicator on how far you have fallen. Also, for some reason i can't attack monsters if I'm on a flight of stairs. After jumping the big gap and climbing downwards, there's a flight of steps going down and usually an enemy down there. whatever weapon I use, I don't seem able to targit at all. if there is a key to targit my attacks to a monster below me, I'd like to know. Other than that, i'm liking thus far, and these two issues might just be me getting used to the mechanics.

Re: [Audyssey] two new and epic trailers
Nice to see that they've gone with the Street Fighter esque soundscape over Tekken. I prefer Tekken's music, but the last few SF's have come forward in terms of actual SFX in leaps and bounds. Seems like we're getting close to SF speed too, that's gonna drive Tekken players nuts haha! I've not touched Soul Calibur since the second game I think it was, so couldn't be sure how much of that was actual game play and how much was just wooshy expensive trailer, but no doubt it'll be worth picking up. I'm totally strapped at the moment. Considering auctioning off a few body parts to get me an Xbox... none of the limbs required for playing games though obviously!

Re: [Audyssey] Mota thoughts
Tom, two more bugs freshly stumbled upon and one hopefully quick question: 1. Room 16, whatever the platform thing is in the middle of the big fire pit has a location but not a description of the object itself announced by the view command. It was a stroke of luck on the 18 zillionth attempt that I landed on it. 2. Stairs still aren't announced in the view menu. This one's been around since last time I played and caught up on the list, must've been pre beta 18, so chances are you already know about it? The question is, while I do prefer the view command nowadays, is there a key to silence speech? When there are a lot of objects in a room, I quite often find it continuing to talk around other stats. It can get mega distracting when you're trying to barge your way through rooms either against a time limit or low on health where every detail matters.

Hi Hayden, Yup, having played a bit on headphones now I see what you mean. My first couple of runs were on laptop speakers, so not ideal for spotting subtleties like that.

Re: [Audyssey] anyone got anny suggestions for the next version ofbattlezone?
Hi Clement, I'll fess up now and say that I totally intend to get you started on x-ray moves. I'm wondering whether we think the same thing. I actually pulled off my first ever X-ray move by accident. Oh the joys of button mashing! Having learned how to execute them intentionally now, they've started to really irritate me. Essentially I think the problem is, while they sound and by all accounts look great, they totally break the constant pressure of the fight. Things like mega long combos or chains of attacks make me panic when I'm on the receiving end or exhilerated when I'm the one dealing them out, but X-ray doesn't manage to do that. I think the problem is that once the sequence has started, so far as I can tell there's no way to break it, so the person on the receiving end just sits there hopelessly. The sequences take so long that I have time to be angry that someone's x-rayed me, sad that my character is having a bad day internally all of a sudden, but then there's also time to consider what to do next. On the other end of the equation, they're not satisfying to be the person who's dishing them out either. I think that's because they aren't hard enough to execute, so there's no big sense of achievement, just the break in the rhythm of the fight. That disruption has put me off my stride enough that I've almost lost matches I was comfortably winning before throwing an X-ray into the mix. Is that what you meant by broken? To me, they just seem like a gimick. Sad part is that they didn't need to be there. It's hard to tell how deep this new engine is just from the characters in the demo, but to me, it definitely feels like an improvement from MK VS DC. It's all subjective of course, but that would've been enough for me I think without the new gimick. Scott On 4/7/11, Clement Chou chou.clem...@gmail.com wrote: Simple mode lets you chain three hit combos... but nothing more than that. Personally, I don't see what the problem with six buttons is. It's simply three punches and three kicks.. at different strengths. Is it that hard to get that? Again I don't want to sound antagonizing, but it doesn't take a genius to figure that out... I happen to agree with the upper-level fighting game community, that while four buttons in this game is okay, you're taking out so much of the learning curve that it almost seems like there's nothing to learn. Supers I don't mind since that's the way they've always been done in the vs. series... since those and Street Fighter games are completely different entities. MK's definition of accessibility is having almost the same startup chain of attacks to cancel into other moves. Unlike SF and tekken that require a lot of timing, MK, at least from the demo seems like you'll be able tochain attacks together without too much effort. And x-ray moves... don't even get me started on those. Gory and cool, yes... but a bit broken as a lot of people will point out to you. But I won't get into that now... I'm excited for the game, and want to save any griping for if and when I find things to gripe about. lol. At 04:03 AM 07/04/2011, you wrote: I wonder what MK is doing so to speak to make it more accessible. Simple mode in my honest opinion in MVC3 is... good although it'll only get you to Galactus. It only let's you do two specials, which is stupid. I like the less buttons approach to things, a four button layout rather than six. It makes normal mode in MVC3 easy to grasp than, say, SF, and I was able to remember the control skeme as to what attack was what and could focus on moves. Also, people may have problems with this but I personally like the way supers are performed in this game. A motion followed by two attack buttons, doesn't matter what they are it would appear. That also applies to moves, all you really have to know is the motion and you can use any attack depending on how damaging you want the combo to be. Allowing simple mode online sure causes cheating though. I dunno if you can even chain combos with simple mode, because once I was playing online with this dude and he pointed out that I really sucked at chaining combos; I wanted to test out Simple Mode and see if it was what the devs say it is, that you need skill and whatnot, but you also need the wrest of the characters moves...

Re: [Audyssey] mvc 3 arcade mode playthrough
Yup I'd already seen this, it's pretty cool. There's a whole series of these clips focusing on different characters. Search Youtube for Mortal Kombat 9 gameplay to find them. Lu Kang's one is cool, Noob Saibot's one has an awesome combo in it toward the end, but there are a few of them that worry me a little, like this one for Scorpion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g62X9pLGiKQ Something about the speed of that, or lack of it, irks me. It feels lumpy. Plus, the music is the weirdest thing I've heard in mk yet! I'm hoping that it's a case of each character plays dramatically differently though, because Scorpion seems this slow in everything I've seen, and maybe the soundtrack is a grower, who knows. This interview is awesome too, only a few key bits of game play are audable, but Ed covers quite a lot that's worth hearing about with the dialogue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izVZsnCiaWk On 2/24/11, Yohandy yohand...@gmail.com wrote: Well I know that this video's getting me psyched for the game. check it and tell me what you think! http://goo.gl/VcKvR - Original Message - From: Scott Chesworth scottcheswo...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 7:55 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] mvc 3 arcade mode playthrough Hmmm, agreed about MK's gameplay not being as deep nowadays.

Re: [Audyssey] Consoles (was Re: my frustration with the blind gaming comunity.)
Hi Michael, Dunno if it's fair to say that Linux is the only market trying to make their system fully accessible, nor whether it's fair to say it's the perfect platform for us. I'd touche with Mac OS and iOS. VoiceOver and Zoom are fully integrated into both OSs, aren't going anywhere, and both seem to move forward with each major revision of the OS. True, the initial price you have to shell out for the hardware is higher than you'd need to shell out to get a bare bones Linux system up and running, but the advantage you gain is a more consistent GUI on top of equal access to the command line. I'm not dumbing down what's happening on the Linux front at all man, far from it, just felt it necessary to say that there's more than one variety of rose to smell in this space, should anybody feel like waking up and taking a good long snort.

If we're not on welfare, then we're spending the majority of our money on accessibility items to try to keep current with our work environments. $1000 for a screen reader, $2000 for an accessible PDA or smart-phone, $4000 for an accessible GPS, $10,000 for a braill display... Windows and the game console market simply doesn't want to deal with us. We're an unprofittable nitch market, and they have to charge us 10 times the going rates just to break even on any project. Eventually you guys are gonna wake up and smell the roses and realize that Linux is the only market out there that's even trying to make their system fully accessible. The SpeakUP screen reader is now part of the Linux kernel, making the text console fully accessible. It will remain part of Linux from now on, unlike Windows Narrator, which only supports the Windows operating system itself, and nothing else. You can't even use it to go on the web to find something better like NCDA. You can't even use Narrator to help you install Windows, unlike Linux, which has many distributions with accessible installation setups. The developers of the Orca screen reader for the Linux GUI have also come a long way. I only have a monitor still, because I only occasionally need sighted assistance for something, and with a little scripting in a few other languages, they're working on supporting it all, and they're not charging anyone a cent. Have a problem? File a bug report and watch it get fixed. Like Thomas said, the game console development market just blew him off when he assed for more support for accessibility. It's only recently since they started adding wheelchair ramps in standard design for public access. You're not going to find it for the home design market for a long time to come, let alone the kitchen appliance market. I hope you folks wake up soon and see what Linux is doing for us, and doing it in a big way, and doing it all free of charge. If there's any platform out there made for us, it's Linux. Yes, there's a steep learning curve, but DOS had the same curve in the beginning. Without our support and input, Linux just may end up being another Windows Narrator, and that would be a shame. All I know, is that my Linux console is accessible from power-on to power off now, and when I hear you folks discussing writing for other platforms, I can only wonder how insane it all sounds. If you want to pick up your brooms and continue sweeping up the sighted community's messes, feel free. We Linux converts will just sit back and laugh and shake our heads. You're only hurting yourselves, bashing your brains against the wall again and again.

I've never done something like that yet... my gaming ability isn't something I try and advertise. lol. Nice job, Yohandi... way to spread the message! I wouldn't mind doing an interview like that, just haven't gotten the chance yet. lol. At 07:30 AM 10/02/2011, you wrote: Hi Folks, I searched for the article where the blind man beat the sighted on a video game but couldn't fine it. I did find this article from last year: When a blind man rocks: Interview with Yohandy Rodriguez April 20th, 2010 11:07 am ET When you play Guitar Hero and Rock Band, you rely heavily on the rhythm of the song and the overall flow, but if you turn on performance mode, where the charts are hidden, you more times than not, will fail within seconds. Now imagine having to play performance mode every single time you fired up the game. For Yohandy Rodriguez, that is no hypothetical; that is his reality. As someone who has been blind from birth, Rodriguez never learned to rely on his vision as a way to navigate through life or games. I was actually born prematurely, said Rodriguez. Due to the fact my lungs hadn't developed properly, it was necessary to put me in an incubator and pump oxygen into it to keep me alive. This was obviously successful, but due to too much oxygen intake at such an early age, I became blind. I was born in 1985, and I actually remember gaming at a very early age. I don't really know how I got started. All I know is everyone around me was playing video games, and there was no reason why I shouldn't be as well. So that's exactly what I did. I never considered my blindness as a barrier for a second. I remember playing games like Super Mario 2 and Donkey Kong Country quite clearly, and it was definitely a blast. Rodriguez may have been able to play games like Mario and Donkey Kong Country, but there are certain games that he is unable to play due to his blindness. According to a recent Rodriguez Tweet, Guitar Hero's menus can prove problematic for blind gamers to navigateWell, I was never able to beat Super Mario or Donkey Kong [laughs], even though I did complete a few levels through trial and error, said Rodriguez. However, I did come across fighting games, and suddenly things changed. I recall playing Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 with my sighted cousin on a SNES and man was it fun. All the attacks had distinctive sounds, kicks and punches all sounded different and unique. It was such an awesome experience I begged my parents to buy me a super Nintendo immediately. So they did, and the first game I bought was a copy of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. I played that game all day long and I eventually beat it on medium. then I beat it on the hardest difficulty. Then after that I had to buy more fighting games so I purchased Killer Instinct. I know I'm digressing a bit here so I'll get back on track. I find games with 3D environments and shoot 'em ups the hardest to play. It's quite easy to get lost in such large playing fields, and often enough there's not enough audio to convey everything happening on screen. While it's not instantaneously known by Rodriguez whether or not he'll be able to play a game when it first comes out, there are various indicators that point him and other blind gamers in the right direction. There's actually a few blind gamers out there, not just me, said Rodriguez. We already know that games like Mortal Kombat VS. DC Universe and Super Street Fighter IV are accessible since we've been buying fighting games for years, and of course games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, but we actually love to experiment with different genres. One of my blind friends bought Final Fantasy XIII when it came out and told everyone how playable it ended up being for the blind, so another friend went and got the game and can't shut up about it [laughs]. I'm eventually going to purchase it as well and see what all the hype's about. One of Yohandy Rodriguez's favorite types of games to play is the music video game genre. Guitar Hero and Rock Band provide blind gamers such as Rodriguez with a unique opportunity to actually learn to master a game through listening to the subtle changes in the music itself. Rock Band 2's simplified menu system has proven very accessible to blind gamersFirst and foremost, for rhythm games, I think it's more about the music, and less about the visual aspect, said Rodriguez. I don't have much experience with Guitar Hero since I've only rented some of their games, but I have purchased Rock Band games so I'll concentrate my efforts on that particular title. First thing I like to do is listen to the song I'm attempting to learn. An easy way of doing this is to go in practice mode and highlight the full song for listening purposes.
Re: [Audyssey] playing mainstream games vs blindness specific ones
Just catching up on the deluge, and there's very little I can add from the point of view of the mainstream players that hasn't already been said in one way or another. thought someone should chime in though to point out that, even though it's clearly not the case on Planet Everiss, considerations of which devices can or can't be used efficiently by blind gamers the world over might go a bit deeper than what Shaun can fit on his desk.

If I enjoy a game, I'll do whatever I can to milk as much enjoyment out of it as I possibly can. And the same applies for console games. On no game case or console box does it say blind people aren't allowed to use them or will get less out of them than any other average person. We haven't lost anything, in my opinion. If anything, we work our brains more by working strategies and memorizing things based off stuff other than just visual cues, but rather some mental calculations on our own part. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] A question for Clement and Yohandy re: play value of mainstream fighting games.
It does indeed mean that the punch has already landed, but that'd be the same in an accessible version of the same game, or even in real life would it not? Given that you've missed the chance to defend by that point, it'd be time to either retreat or counter, and being able to tell which attacks your opponent is launching, how close they'd need to be to launch those attacks, the speed and individual fighting styles of the characters in the game and gamers holding the controllers are all contributing factors. Luckily, footsteps, dashes, specials and the like often have sound cues associated with them nowadays, so a gamer who's done their homework can often defend before hearing that punch land, which was what you were asking I think. True, you need quick reactions, but no quicker than the sighted person who's just jumped back to avoid your attack or blocked your combo. They didn't see that coming any sooner than you would've heard it if the roles were reversed. It hasn't always been the case, but in this particular genre, it's very possible now for blind people to be aware of their surroundings and their opponents actions, so it's no longer about who attacks hardest. I'm not knocking your taste in games at all, if beat 'em ups aren't your thing then that's one less person who's waiting in line to beat me lol. As far as actual mastery of the in-game action goes though, it's possible to be good at them now as a blind gamer, that's what I'm getting at.

Well said, Christopher... and I hear what you are saying completely. I can explain it in some detail, but I'll answer more questions next week when I have a new game to show, so I can walk people through things as I explore for the first time. In fighting games on this generation of consoles, there are sounds for everything. A punch sounds different than a kick, a block sounds different from a successful hit. Dashing has sounds, and so does jumping. There are sounds for when a character uses a special attack such as a projectile versus a straight hit, and using the sound of the projectile's launch and impact you can gage how far away from the screen you are or your opponent is. Since fighting games are rarely about reloading weapons, you can put that worry aside. The trick in a fighting game is to learn combos and moves, but that requires no more effort than any sighted person. If you seriously are interested in knowing more, feel free to write me offlist. I would be glad to help in any way I can... I wanted to keep this description short. But as I said, I'll do more showing with audio when I get my hands on Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 next week. At 02:54 PM 08/02/2011, you wrote: Ok, I would like to understand something. I have heard that there is a lot of complexity in the fighting games, planning strategies and the like. I accept that this is true. Now, I have no vision. Strategy planning involves reacting not only to my opponent, but to the environment, my current life level and weapon load (where appropriate) my opponent's condition, and any time-based factors. So, how, as I said with no vision, do I get this input in order to make the tactical decisions that make the games worth playing? Is there enough information conveyed by sound to provide me with this state vector? You see, this isn't a matter of being unwilling to put in effort, or memorize a bunch of menu sequences. I figured out how to play Anacreon, a complex space conquest game with a lot of things that defeat screen readers without a hell of a lot of effort, because the information was in fact there if one expended the effort. As Anacreon was a turn-based game, I could take the time to find it, incorporate it into my understanding of the game state and make the complex decisions about production, fleet deployment and even battle tactics that the game required. The game rewarded me with exactly the experience a sighted player would have, though I had to put literally tens of hours in just to figure out the interface, let alone the game strategy. I'm unconvinced that I would ever get that level of feedback, even with substantial effort from a mainstream game of any sort. Without that feedback, I am at best operating at a severe disadvantage. Perhaps there are patterns that could bring me victory, there are patterns in say, Tank commander that lead to a successful conquest of the levels, but the fact is that I could learn
Re: [Audyssey] Windows screen reader software?
Hi David, Yup, as a user experience NVDA feels a little clunky at times, but I'd still recommend testing with that on Windows. My thinking is that NVDA currently has the least amount of quirks in terms of how it interprets HTML, so although it's a bit raw, a page that is easy for you to use with both NVDA and VoiceOver shouldn't throw up any surprises no matter what people are using. For the record, your JAWS is much nicer, it approaches VoiceOver in usability comment gave me a good laugh. Talk like that would get you the cyber equivalent of a standing ovation from some groups of blind folks, and thrown to the lions by others. Fortunately, this list is pretty neutral.

Re: [Audyssey] Mouse Support in Games
Hi, Answers below each question for you Tom. 1. As a gamer how important is mouse support to you? Keyboards feel clunky as input devices, so yup it's pretty important if the game requires anything more than button pounding. 2. If supported would you consider purchasing a mouse with five or more buttons for game input? I would if there was no pad support. TBH, my instinct would likely be to use a pad before a 5 button mouse if both were supported though. This is partly because most decent pads have analog input in some form along with more than 5 buttons, and mostly because I already own one... did someone say cheapskate? 3. What type of mouse device/devices do you currently own? (Such answers may include: none, touch pad, USB optical mouse, wireless optical mouse, PS2 standard mouse, trackball, etc.) A decent sized touch pad, and a USB optical mouse. 4. How many buttons does your mouse device have? Is it a two button, three button, five button, or eight button mouse? Touch pad has two, the USB mouse has 2 plus a scroll wheel which can be clicked, so 3 I guess. 5. Does your mouse device have a scroll wheel? Indeed it does. 6. What do you think of the following input commands for a side-scroller like Mysteries of the Ancients? Deleted the list for ease of reading, but it looks quite intuitive to me. Only slight concern would be that, as far as I understand it, clicking the scroll wheel would be button 3 on my current mouse? That's never felt like an action that's smooth to pull off. I know nothing of what's considered to be standard in terms of mouse input, so if this list is the standard I guess we can put it down to my mouse being a cheapo. Hth Scott On 1/9/11, Jim Kitchen j...@kitchensinc.net wrote: Hi Thomas, I have a standard 3 button ps2 mouse on both computers. Never use them. They are both behind the monitor which I also never use. Now if people really wanted it, and I could find code for VB6 and the mouse, I would think about adding it. But in my current game, the arrows to run, the control key to jump and the shift key to duck. But even more fun and easier on my fingers, the gas peddle to run, the left fin to jump and the right fin to duck. I am pretty sure that I will be using the steering wheel to play on all of the different levels that I have planned for this new game.

Re: [Audyssey] A question to you all audyssey folks.
Hi, Nope, a low pass filter passes the lows, so it allows the low frequencies through. That'd be what you'd go for if you wanted the party next door sound to take an extreme example. A high pass filter would be more appropriate in this case, but you'd still need to boost the upper mids quite a bit if you're using a parametric EQ to get that tinny speaker sound, so be sure not to record the original speech mega hot levels-wise.

Hi Muhammed, In order to create a radio sound effect you need a sound editor like Goldwave or Soundforge. You would start by removing some of the base from the speech recording in order to give it that radio tinny quality. Then, you can mix in some radio static to give it that fuzzy connection sound. That's one way of creating radio voice overs. Another way is you can set a walky-talky in front of the computer microphone. The person doing the voice over can go to another room and speak the lines into the walky-talky. This method is quite authentic and is great for a Star Trek communicator, a Star Wars comlink, or any other generic radio/communicator effect. Creating a generic radio sound like this is pretty easy. As far as sound effect libraries goes there is this little thing called copyrights. Basically, before anyone can or should provide you with sounds it would largely depend on the copyright license for the sounds, and what exactly you plan to do with the sounds. If they are going to be used in a free production in most cases the sounds are free or sold for much less than a commercial license. If they are going to be used in a commercial product then you will have to pay out royalty fees that can range in the hundreds of dollars, pounds, euros, etc. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] papasangre and itouch 3g
Weird that you're not getting vibrations, is anybody else with a 3GS seeing the same behaviour? On an iPhone 4, the vibrations seem to work fine. Sounds being behind you is one of the hardest things to simulate. In Papa Sangre, they do it by the sound being slightly duller (a bit less top end, you'll notice it if you spin on the spot). It's not perfect, but once you know it's there it's usually enough of a difference to get the job done.

Last night my mom called me and told me that my oldest step sister died under extremely tragic circomstances. At this point in time the police are ruling it out is a suicide. To say that this comes as a shocking suprise for the family and is very sad is an understatement. Although, my step sister and I were never close I still feel sad and extremely disappointed in how she chose to end her life. I feel extremely sorry for my neace who will be cellibrating this and every other Christmas without her mother. I also feel deeply sorry for my step father who lost a daughter, and my surviving step sisters who lost one of their sisters. For them Christmas will never ever be the same. For those of you who have faith in a religious background please pray for them in this time of morning and grief. Also pray for my step sister that perhaps she can find happiness in death that she never could in this life time. Moreover, never forget to tell your closest ffriends, family, and other loved ones that you love them. Remember that there is nothing more precious than life, and that no matter how bad life gets at times that taking your own life without a good cause is the greatest tragity of all. Finally, I wish to leave you with something that I learned from this experience. Remember to forgive those who have wronged you, and try to make, if possible, peace with everyone that you can. Especially, those who are your family and friends. Nothing is more tragic than what happened in my sisters' case. I'm not going to get into details and specifics, but one thing I can say is that my oldest sister was troubled. In her death she left behind a lot of unsettled arguments with my step father, my younger step sisters, her grandparents, and things were said in the heat of the moment to each other that can never be taken back or settled in this life time. My youngest step sister, for example, vowed never to see my oldest step sister again in this life time, and now, of course, she never will. My youngest step sister has to live with the guilt of allowing her personal feelings get in the way of making peace with her sister when she could have. Moreover, she now realises she wasn't there for her sister when she went over the emotional brink and took her own life when she needed her family, her loved ones, more than ever. So the lesson I want to pass on to each and every single one of you is don't let your anger, your personal differences, etc go so far that you have to live each and every day of your life regretting the things you have said and done. Make your peace while you have time, and tell those you love that you love them. Let them know you care regardless of how angry you might be at them. You will never know when tomorrow is simply too late to say, I'm sorry. I love you. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] a tweet from papa
Nice one! I'd take issue and say that the sound design is closer to superb than ok, but it's all subjective I suppose. Yeah, got to be pretty linear and relatively straight forward because they're aiming for a market who aren't used to following audio cues and clues. It's not going to have many people on this list scratching their heads for long, but as I said before I'd be happy enough to pay a couple of quid to have it on my phone for the occasional night time strole through somewhere scary. Let's hope it's not too long before it's publicly available via the app store. If it's not there by Sunday, I'd like to propose a Papa Party at Will's house lol.

Re: [Audyssey] Short Mysteries of the Sith Preview
Hi Hayden, A USB mouse is cheaper and less bulky than almost any joystick or controller.

My plan is to add in some advanced saber moves like being able to spin the saber, swing left/right, block, etc. Most of this would be well suited for th mouse or joystick, but i suppose I could use the keyboard to do this as well. I could use alt+left to swing the saber left, alt+right, to swing the saber right, or alt+forward to slash straight ahead. The only problem I see with that is the stupid alt keys brings up the window menu and you have to close it which gets pretty darn annoying. The only way I know to fix that one is to stop using the standard Windows Win32 API and use Microsoft's Direct3D API as the window manager. That works,but is kind of over kill since we don't actually need it to do more than draw an empty window to wrap the keyboard, mouse, and joystick parts of DirectX around. Anyway, my thought is basically this. I'd like to be able to use the mouse as your light saber allowing you to pull the mouse left/right to swing left/right, push it forward to stab, and pull back to block, etc. The original Lucas Arts games used similar functionality with the mouse which is something I'd like to emulate if I can.

The keyboard generated pan would be more realistic but what keys to use? If you can distinguish between the left alt and right alt keys you could get three types of attack strokes. I think left alt then space would give you a swing from left to right as that is the way your fingers would be going. And space by itself could represent a straight ahead attack. The best use of the keyboard would be to have the mouse control the swing as you could move it like you would actually move the weapon.

[Audyssey] Moderated status for Chastity?
Hi mods, Would it be a wise move to place Chastity Morse's address on moderated status for the time being? From her previous posts, I'm totally convinced that she's not spamming intentionally and no doubt you've reached the same conclusion, but still, it seems wrong to assume that the entire list will have the foresight to ignore the links. Hopefully she'll be made aware of what's going through her account and find a fix soon. Not meaning to tread on any toes, just a thought from a humble lister.

Indeed, but for the people who, for whatever reason haven't been keeping up with list happenings and catch up cgronologically when time allows... More to the point, those spam messages are being needlessly archived at the moment. I suggested moderation until it's fixed to keep a tidy and safe list and archive, not as any sort of punishment.

We spent the hour with him listening to me take on the game (interestingly, the guy really did seem to listen as much as he watched), then going over a few accessibility tweaks that, while they weren't absolutely necessary, would make the menu system of the game and the transitions between levels easier to navigate with VoiceOver.

There's still no way to know without stepping and hitting V until you here 0 meters. On 11/4/10, Clement Chou chou.clem...@gmail.com wrote: To be honest, I don't mind the lack of edges much. If the game's measuring system was a bit more precise, I wouldn't mind it at all. I'm being picky, but if 3 steps is approx 1 meter why not just make it exactly one? Measuring then would be a lot easier, plus judging of distances and then I'd have enough warning to put away whatever piece of mine that happened to be in my hand at the moment be it a gun or sword, or hat have you. Just my opinion though. I like as much challenge in the games I play as possible. Hence why I play all the mainstream competetive fighters I can. Because unlike most anime-based fighters, there's a lot of complex stuff underneath what looks like a simple engine. At 06:19 AM 04/11/2010, you wrote: Sorry to disagree here, but in sited games, it is not always half as clear as you might think. Take mario as an example. A large pit you might need to be on the very edge of, or do a running jump, and in both of these circumstances you may well miss the edge (especially with running), you might also missjudge the distance and fall down, or, if jumping in a small area, jump too high and hit your head on the cieling, falling down once again. These sorts of factors to do with varying the distance of jumps are less easy to add in an audio side scroller (in fact, I don't think any audio game has had variable hight jumps), so you need another factor for challenge, and lack of edges is a very good one, sinse it forces you to calculate matters as carefully as in a sited game rather than just get all the information. How about a compromise? either, removing the bounderies on higher difficulty levels, or keeping the bounderies on chasms but not on fire pits. Personally, with the review mode and by taking it slow, i don't find lack of edges really a big deal at all. Beware the Grue!

[Audyssey] Panning in MOTA FPS
Hi Tom, quick question for you. The difference in panning in MOTA Beta 14 and the reasons for it have been, um, shall we say thoroughly covered. Forgive me if I've missed it, but I haven't yet seen anybody discussing how the new setup will work for the FPS version. I guess what I'm asking is, are the current jumps across the stereo field that people are struggling with only occuring because you're having to try and find the common ground between a 2d audio landscape and a panning system that was designed exclusively for realism in 3d maps? I'm hoping that the answer to this will be that the FPS version will sound more natural whenever it's ready to be rolled out. Seems logical to assume given all the cool sounding stuff that's still happening on consoles, but I thought I'd check for sure. Call me a maverick, but I'm trying to make panning and positivity fit into the same sentence lol!

Re: [Audyssey] legac help
Hi Lori, Seconded, our chap should be able to stash more than one small item at a time, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume he'd have pockets? That frustrated me no-end for the first few chapters, until I got used to remembering where I'd put things. Then I realised that the reason I was finding remembering that hard is that so far as I can tell there's no way of putting an item down unless it's to swap it with another item. This makes it so that often where I had to leave items wasn't logical at all in my tiny mind. Am I missing something? Does anybody else know of a way to put things down and walk away holding nothing?

Re: [Audyssey] legac help
Phil et al, Ian's tip about clicking your physical mouse when focused on the flash movie worked here too. You do need to unload your screen reader before you get working arrow keys, I figured that'd only be true of JAWS but it holds true for NVDA too which is a bit surprising. Nevertheless, stick with the weird navigation for a chapter or 2 and see if you get into it. What the interface lacks in elegance it definitely makes up for in the way of enjoyment. Unless there's a lot of randomisation happening though, which I don't think there is, this will be a game you only play through once or maybe twice.

One annoying thing is you need to locate objects such as the gramophone so you have to walk around until you hear a gramophone record playing and when you are on it you can get it to work.

[Audyssey] requesting major Legacy spoiler
There won't be any actual spoilers contained herein, this is a request for spoilage not a provision of such. I've been playing Legacy for a couple of hours, I'm on chapter 6, and I've got the first 2 codes. This 3rd keypad is driving me insane! I've examined the keypad, so I know about the plaque above it. I trawled a significantly long way back through the chapter to doublecheck I'd remembered Juliet's birthday correctly, and to my annoyance discovered that I had indeed done so. So, given that I've tried literally everything surrounding these clues that I can think of, I'm sucking it up and asking if anybody knows the code to the 3rd keypad. Feel free to, in fact I'd advise you to, drop me a mail off list if you're planning to put me out of my misery. If you do reply on list, please be sure to do a gigantic spoiler space, because not everyone is going to be as dim as me and I really wouldn't want to ruin this game for them.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA fire
Well the answer is two fold. Firstly, yup, I'd always walk when playing with fire so to speak unless I knew that part of the level well, just for safety's sake. Secondly, the warning messages do seem to be a bit late IMHO. I don't think there's a delay in triggering them, think it's more about the breath that's been left on the beginning of the ogg files. I've mentioned it in another thread to Thomas already, so hopefully he agrees and sees the problem.

Re: [Audyssey] Palace Punch-up Released!
Hey Lori, The good news is that this IP stuff is pretty simple to get your head around, at least, in this context it is. Your IP is simply a string of numbers that identifies your computer to anything you might want to connect too. Every computer with any sort of network interface has one, and in the case of internet conectivity your IP is usually automatically assigned by your service provider, and will likely change from time to time when you reconnect. There are ways of keeping it the same at all times, they call that a static IP, but you'll know if that applies to you because chances are you'll be being charged for the privilage lol. So, to find out what your current IP is, just go to www.whatismyip.com. Near the top of that page, you'll find a line that displays your current IP. For example, mine is currently 188.223.43.44. Palace Punch-up connects two computers. So, if you're hosting the game, you just need to check your current IP at www.whatismyip.com, and give that number to whoever you want to be able to connect to you. If someone else is acting as host, just ask for there IP, choose to join a game, and paste it there. It's worth noting that the first time you play online, Windows Firewall will likely throw a warning up at you that Palace Punch-up is trying to access the internet. So far as I can tell, Philip isn't an evil crime lord who'll hack your computer, rob your identity, sell your data, or do anything along those exciting lines, so your probably safe to click Allow.

Re: [Audyssey] MOTA (Standard) Beta 13 Released
Hi Tom, Just taken MOTA Beta 13 for a spin, and a few thoughts occurred. Thanks for adding the escape key to skip movies. Not sure when this was done as I've been somewhat out of the loop, but I appreciated it after dying for the 4th time lol. Is speech in a separate thread still on the to do list? I really hope so, as for things like checking your ammo half way through a fight I don't want the action to grind to a halt while the ammo count is announced. Can we get some very subtle menu sounds, especially with the current situation where speech isn't in it's own thread? I love the new view menu, but found myself unsure of whether I was back in the game or not at times because I wasn't sure whether I had hit escape too soon as it doesn't take effect until after speech. Just a tiny sound to signify that the key was recognised would be useful. Weapons firing on key release feels odd, again not sure how long this has been the case, but it took some serious getting used too and I'm not sure I'm there yet. Is there a way that you can set key repeat rate on a per-key basis? Things like arrows or J and L should of course be repeated, and it's great how d can be held down along with movement, but things like numbers one through 9 should probably be one hit only. I noticed that the key repeat grabs input so soon that quite often I was getting multiple draw sounds, and it marred the realism a bit. The training mode idea is cool, but could be slightly improved by more responsive watch out warnings. Perhaps chop the breaths from the beginning of those sounds? When you're at a run, the extra split second those breaths add sometimes means that the warnings are quite out of sync and it's easy to slip up. Oh, and I got bitten by the multiple torch sound bug. Can't reproduce it consistently I'm afraid. It happened twice in the space of about 8 runs through to different extents, always in different locations with different sequences beforehand. It's come such a long way since I last played, really enjoyable! Can't wait for the FPS version!

Re: [Audyssey] Has anyone actually managed to beat Q-9
Hi Lori, Yup, beaten it a few times on easy, only ever managed once on a higher difficulty than that though. Best advice I can give you is: Pay attention to the speed each creature moves at and how many hits you'll need to take them out. The idea being that over time you'll develop the ability to judge distances to accurately attack and retreat, making sure that you can take out each creature in the least time possible and without taking any damage. Try to never ever miss a falling bonus item, but save up the ones that you can choose to trigger such as shields for when you really, really need them. The enemies are spectacularly daft in this game, so there's a lot to be said for luring them into situations. Two good examples would be to proceed through a force field thingy, reap what is hopefully a reward, go on a while to find something to chase you, and lure a few nasties back through it to try and observe a pattern of when it'd be a safe time to go back through it again. This way, you can end up with some pretty spectacular health levels that will last you a long time, assuming you don't fall into a pit of course. When you're good at judging enemy movement, you can also use the same luring technique to make the most of the times to use shields and pick off nasties left and right because their own attacks rebound upon them when the shield is active, dancing with a couple of bears is always fun with shields up. Lastly, be aware that as far as I know it's physically not possible for Q9 to take out a bear close up without getting clobbered at least once, so save up your rocks and pick them off from a distance wherever possible, it'll make a big difference to your health. Hth, I'm well overdue another run through those worlds too. Scott On 6/12/10, Damien Pendleton dam...@x-sight-interactive.net wrote: Hi Lori, I have beaten Q9, but it is very hard.

Re: [Audyssey] Advice on gamepads
Hi Lori, Though it pains me to praise Microsoft, the Xbox 360 pads are the best designs I've seen in quite a few years. Enough buttons to cover almost any eventuality, well pronounced spaces between them considering how many there are, and all of the buttons triggers joysticks and d-pad are snappy and responsive. Unless you're really into the idea of some extra tweaking though, I'd save yourself a few quid and a headache by going with the wired USB version. Wireless pads are cool yes, but in this particular case the drivers that ship with them are naff. Assuming Pipe 2 has support for pads you should be well away. If not, there is a neat little utility called JoyToKey that you can google for which will allow you to map keyboard keys to specific buttons on your gamepad and set the repeat rate. I've used it to play games like GMA Tank Commander that don't have pad support, takes a bit of fiddling on initial design but once it's done it's done. So there's one option for you. Pop into almost any game shop and they'll have one out on display for you to hold, should set you back somewhere around 15 maybe 20 quid at the worst. No doubt other people will chime in on this though, people's choice of pads are quite subjective.

[Audyssey] An interesting interpretation of some Final Fantasy game music
Hi folks, I must confess to not being overly familiar with the original, but if this is anything to go on then I really need to become so. This is a link to a metal interpretation of a peace from Final Fantasy 7 called Bombfare, originally composed by a chap called Nobuo Uematsu so I'm told. http://www.sendspace.com/file/ar8f9p Knowing this guy's typical work rate, this would've taken him less than a day to track... envy isn't even the word... incredible musician. Does anyone know of anything else that's been done along these lines? A mate of mine has been to a gig that was entirely game music being played live with a massive string section... apparently some of the Zelda material in particular was superbly done, although there is the slight disclaimer that she's virging on zeldaholic status lol.

Re: [Audyssey] Off topic wayfinder access under threat. Please read
Surely a more sensible move would be to gather support and impress upon Vodafone the need for them to build access into the replacement product from the ground up? In my experience, whatever reasons they've got for dropping the line will be many and varied and more importantly won't be swayed by us. Plus, should any sort of national press get hold of this, it seems like a much more reasonable request and gives us the image of being keen to move forward rather than the usual one where we're moaning about change. Considering Wayfinder Access has always cost more than the mainstream version for no real reason, the prospect of Voda's solution being accessible out of the box seems more attractive to me.

Re: [Audyssey] Rhythm Game Accessibility
Hi Orin, Yeah I thought some people would do that. Not sure how much real guitar you've played but it's not uncommon to see people using both hands on the fretboard for lead work. There's a few techniques like tapping that are built entirely on that idea, very Final Countdown era hehe. Anyways, from an accessibility point of view, as far as i'm aware the sighted player doesn't receive indication of which fingers on which hand to use for which button, so we don't need too either. Hope that's true anyway, cos I'm clueless about how to express that lol. Scott On 1/7/10, Yohandy yohand...@gmail.com wrote: You can, but it's not really necessary. with songs such as the final countdown though, it's probably a bad idea to try strumming the notes and pressing buttons simultaneously as you'll most likely miss most notes since they're so fast.

On Jan 6, 2010, at 4:18 PM, Scott Chesworth wrote: I think the idea here is to get across the most amount of info with the least amount of noise over the top of a good song, right? So, firstly there needs to be a clear distinction between the left and right hand. The right hand seems simple enough, as as far as I know we're only dealing with a down or up strum. Seeing as down tends to be used more and traditionally marks accents they should probably stand out slightly more than upstrokes. Peccussive sounds make sense to me for the right hand seeing as we're dealing with rhythm, so perhaps a high short peccussive noise for an upstroke, and a lower one with a bit more oomph could indicate a down. The left hand being less peccussive and more note-based would make sense seeing as there's a wider set of options to express. I'd suggest a short beep is bound to each button, with widely spread intervals between the choice of note that expresses each button so that those without good relative pitch still have a fair chance of distinguishing a fast sequence. That doesn't solve chords, because a few short sounds playing at once would be hard to analyse. Don't really have a solution for that unless Harmonix's engine sees chords as being different from just a set of simultaneous notes if that makes sense. If it does, it'd give us options. If it doesn't, I'm stumpt. All the above probably sounds super annoying on paper, but with a volume option for it and the ability to switch it on and off with ease (perhaps in the pause menu if there is one) most VI gamers could probably find a level to suit them. Remember that most people will turn the thing off once they're comfortable with a song anyway. It's not super eligant, but seems like it could be fairly easy to integrate for them. Any takers or better suggestions? Scott On 1/6/10, Yohandy yohand...@gmail.com wrote: yup definitely appreciate that you're willing to speak to them. Now does anyone have any idea of a good method harmonix could use for figuring out the notes? I've been thinking hard but can't come up with an idea that would actually work, and not annoy the blind gamer to the point that we simply never enable the feature and play how we're used to doing it. I'm thinking expert difficulty here which the average blind gamer will eventually tackle, and it contains so many notes and chords and such that I'm at a loss as to what could be done. There will need to be a way for us to know what the notes are in advanced, the different fret combinations, and the strumming patterns. I'll also send this to Brandon's list and see if anyone has any ideas. - Original Message - From: Scott Chesworth scottcheswo...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 2010 3:13 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Rhythm Game Accessibility No probs Eleanor, thanks for letting us know. It's actually a good thing, gives us more time to get the perfect note to them together.

Unfortunately, I will not be here on that date and so will have to wait till February to get that message to the Harmonix developer. Sorry about that - they usually have their meetings a little later in the month than that.
