Re: [Audyssey] a suggestion for jim's bop it game
i know, how about a bop it trilogy where you can choose what version of bop it you want to play, as the sounds are all different and they all come with different features. if jim makes the bop it program so it can take ini files, you could disable certain keys if you were playing an earlier version. for example: presets.ini [BopItOrig] BopIt=Enabled PullIt=Enabled TwistIt=Enabled SpinIt=Disabled FlickIt=Disabled SoundDir=classic HighestScore=100 or something like that. would that be possible? regards, damien - Original Message - From: Jim Kitchen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Yohandy Gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2007 11:44 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] a suggestion for jim's bop it game Hi Yohandy, Yes, please.

Keep a backup copy of your keys in case you experience PC problems that cause your key to get lost. If you don't, it's your responsibility, not the game developer's. If you buy a car, and lose the car key 6 months later, should the manufacturer furnish you with another one free of charge?, or should you have made another key beforehand, just in case? Obviously, you should have made a duplicate key.

Re: [Audyssey] Urgent! pyracy issue for Shades of doom
it's ok just saying things like oh you must buy the game, but the fact of the matter is, there is always going to be crackers out there. i'm not trying to condone it, but there must be some reason that crackers have for cracking it - either it's too expensive, or nobody else will buy it for them, or maybe they don't understand the importance or consequences of doing it - i.e., because copying tapes or recording the radio or recording off the tv was so unavoidable, and now cd burning and free music sharing, they think that software cracking is exactly the same, but it's completely different. cracking software is like hacking the source code or taking the backing track of somebody's piece and releasing your own version of it. now there are alternatives to cracking as i myself found out - find a free alternative, or make a free alternative. regards, damien - Original Message - From: Sky Taylor Mundell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 3:15 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Urgent! pyracy issue for Shades of doom Yes, I read the poast as well, only one, and it is quite nasty.

Ari Diner Dash Nintendo DS, PSP nick gillett Diner Dash makes you the sole member of the waiting staff in a sequence of progressively larger and busier restaurants. Manage the queue, seat diners, take orders, pass them to the kitchen, supply interim snacks, bring the food to the right table, pour the drinks, offer dessert, bring the bill, clear the table and drop off the dirty crockery at the kitchen. It starts easy and gets steadily more taxing with the addition of bigger tables, different sized parties, diners who eat very slowly even when you really need their table back and the tendency of customers to walk out if you take too long over any of the above. Reminiscent of the gameplay made famous by Nintendo's 1980s Game Watch series, it requires management of increasingly hard to contain chaos and demands enormous concentration, which may sound like hard work, but is actually a pleasingly frenetic way to waste sizable portions of the tiny amount of time that constitutes human existence. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Sometimes I come across a word which I don't know the meaning of. Either I can't make out the way sapi pronounces the word or it's a word I never heard of.

Then, again if that is your price to be of value you may have to do what you have to do. damien c. sadler - head of x-sight interactive wrote: there is a sticky situation when it comes to prices. i am british, therefore my home currency is pounds. if i charge £30, i feel that the americans are being treated unfairly, but if i charge $30, then i wouldn't be getting the equivalent of what i would usually be getting. regards, damien ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then?
well i don't know yet. it's only just started development. it may be that in the end it's free if i can't get all the systems implemented into it. i was just giving 30 as an example, that's not my set price. regards, damien - Original Message - From: Dark [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 4:35 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then? Hmmm Damien, the notion of paying the same amount in pounds and dollars seems extremely strange to me, - not the least because using Paypal, it's possible to pay in either currency. While bomb blaster I'm sure will be a great game and well worth paying for, given the choice i'd much rather pay 18 pounds - that would be thirty dollars, than thirty pounds. Personally, I'd say either you just give the game a price in dollars (they instantly convert to pounds and can be paid into your bank so no trouble), or, you give two relative prices based on the exchange rate, - eg 30 dollars or 18 pounds, or (if you think your game is worth thirty pounds), thirty pounds or 55 dollars, the way Asabat software (also in the uk) have done. I don't personally see why there's such a major hastle going on over this sort of issue. More to the point is how much the game is actually worth (in pounds or dollars).

Re: [Audyssey] game sounds menu - Re: bomb blaster then?

Hi Damian. Wow! so your now in charge of Savage gambit and Savage gambit redemption? cool! You seem like quite a busy chap with this and bomb blaster on the go. Here's a couple of my thoughts about the game. While i certainly enjoyed the concept and execution of the game, i did find it rather easy once I'd memorized the punches and counters, a bit like boppit with slightly more switches to pull. Stil, this might have just been me. if you wanted to muck about with the game mechanics, you could considder customizing the enemies a bit, giving them special moves and counters with their own audio for instance, if they block a certain number of punches they get to taunt you and perform special moves, which you must avoide based on guess work, experience and knolige of the boxer's body. For instance, one of the big heavy enemies could yell heads up as he attempts to perform a symbols move on the sides of your head, which you must obviously duck to avoid. On a basic level, you might also considder varying the rythm of the punches, sinse one reason i found the game so easy is that the enemies blows came in such a rythm. Statistics and a way to check them might be good as well, sinse often I found myself plugging away at the enemy trying to decide if i was actually damaging them or not. Along this line you might also include some jim training type games which you could do to increase your own boxer's stats, - though obviously this would mean loads of extra programming. Also, more audio would deffinately be good, - such as taunts by the opponents before the match. I very much got the impression from the manual that the opponents did have very individualized personalities, but sinse all you heard of this was their pre-match laugh, it didn't really come across. In the same way, different arenas in different locations with different background audio would be nice, apart from the traditional boxing ring with the crowd. Sinse the Savage Gambit is obviously quite a shady and violent tournament, you could have places like illegal dodgy bars, underground martial arts arenas, or mafia controled factories (yes! I'm a streetfighter fan, it shows doesn't it). Obviously Bomb blaster is the major project your working on at the moment, and I know some of these changes would take a lot of time and effort to put into the game, but sinse you asked suggestions I thought I'd give a few. Btw, you say your now hosting the game? Perhaps if you sent Phil and Richard the appropriate Url, they could put up a link to it on Pcs games and audiogames.net respectively. Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then?
yes, i personally find documentation very useful. some games i wondered, i wonder what it'd be like if i just jumped straight in, and indeed, i'd always struggle. thank heaven for docs! regards, damien - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 4:25 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then? Hi Niko, I certainly can not speak for every PC game out there, but in my experience games have had documentation in one form or another to help a player learn. For example, Star Trek Elite Force which I have installed came with a nice professionally done manual in html which covered all sorts of topics on menu structure, common keyboard commands, etc... This is just common sense. It also comes with a nice readme.txt which announces possible bug issues, latest revisions, and where to get updates, etc. I can't imagine a big game company just let you buy a game and giving you no clues how to play. Perhaps some players choose to jump in and play without reading first, but they are in my experience the first to complain when something doesn't happen they expect which was discussed at length in some manual or readme file. A great example here is STFC. While I had solvdd the bug related to the crash after installation months ago I am still amazed how many requests I get on and off list about that one error, and when I ask them did you read the frequently asked questions section on my site they answer no I did not. I half the time wonder why bother writing it up at all if people aren't going to take five seconds and look something up in the documentation before asking. I'm going to be shipping a text copy of the faq with every game I write from now on and if they don't read it, well, heaven help them if they can't read something before asking about something that is explained step by step right on their system. Niko C wrote: It is nice to have but I do not think it is neccessary. One thing that really get's to me is readmes! I hate readmes and I want to gouge my eyes out everytime a game made for blind people comes with readmes! Are there readmes for grand theft auto or final fantasy x? No! What is better is to go through the game and learn. Go to training and learn how to use your gun and learn how to fight. Muds don't have readmes. You have books to read and experience and experimenting. - Original Message - From: damien c. sadler - head of x-sight interactive [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2007 6:10 AM Subject: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then? i've been following this list's opinions on learn game sounds menus then. do you think i should put any sort of learn game sounds in bomb blaster? currently there isn't one but if people want it it's easily added, but through my understanding on what i've just read people aren't really bothered about such a menu. regards, damien ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] game sounds menu - Re: bomb blaster then?
what do you guys think about sound encryption? i don't know what to make of it. most developers are encrypting sounds left right and centre, free game or not, and as i'm only just starting i don't know how's the right way to go about it. i don't want to look like some paranoid security freak but then again i know that most of the mainstream games sounds are encrypted or packed up or something. regards, damien - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 3:59 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] game sounds menu - Re: bomb blaster then? I am jumping in on this rather late, but generally I think some sort of sound describing feature is necessary for many audio games. Not every sound is obvious what it's function is for or what it does. For example, in GMA Tank Commander it is helpful to here what the correct targeting pitches are for a good solution ahead of time before playing the game, and finding out which enemy tank is which by it's engine noises. In Monty for example there are two different types of platforms you will encounter. There is the vanishing platforms that have a sort of UFO sound to them, and the warp platform which has it's own sound. A player who had never played before would certain like to know ahead of time which is which. Vanishing platforms are tricky as you have to time your jumps onto them just right or you will die a wonderful death when they vanish on you. Warp platforms willwarp you up[ a level or take you some place else on the level. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then?
that would make it less interesting. for example, you want to smash a guard with your hammer, it wouldn't work. it'd be also challenging to smash the guard without things being near you, otherwise you smash whatever it is, or if you're near a wall, either the wall or you can get destroyed. regards, damien - Original Message - From: Yohandy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 1:24 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then?

Obviously bomb blaster will be a very different game from Monti, with a completely different atmosphere and emphasis, however I was only thinking of some fairly generic game mechanics and behaviours, which exist in many main stream 2D platform games, - but thus far Monti is the ony one to impliment them in audio that I know about, which Imho is a shame. However as I said, I'd love to see more complex audio 2D platform games, with multiple levels, ladders etc, like audio Donkey Kong or Audio original Mega man for example Of course though, it's your game, and you might have other (and most probably better), thoughts about where it might go, as I said, it was more a question than anything else.

i'm always looking for suggestions, and if there are anything you want in this game then just tell me. at the moment, it is rooms and buildings, each filled with stacks of bombs, machines, alarms, guards, and special items. you can use any special item on anything, meaning that weapons are picked up are regarded as special items. the only items that are not considered special items are those you already come equipped with, which are an item detector, and obviously, your body. your body can be used for normal real life purposes, such as walking, fighting and opening doors. most special and standard items will have hotkeys so you will rarely even need to go into your inventory. the object is to disarm bombs, deactivate the machines that run them, fight the guards who watch over some of them, run from or destroy alarms that will alert the guards if you stay around them while they're shrieking or ringing at you, open, close, lock, unlock, or if you're getting so frustrated because you can't find a key, smash up doors, and deal with timewasters such as mobile phone calls, radio communication, giving explanations to the owners or workers if there are any in a specific building, buying items from the store, and having to do various other normal day-to-day things, but making certain to be quick about them, as some of these bombs could go off at any time. as one bomb goes off you will lose some of your points, the more money you end with the more points you get, the more health also, the quicker time you did it, the more buildings remain unharmed, score depends on those sorts of factors. it is my plans to run contests through this game, and build a contest-checking system and giving you the option of entering contests, where you can play in various strategies, like fastest person to get through, person with more money, sound contests, person with lowest score, highest cheater, things like that. if there are any suggestions about what further developments (fun, challenging, interesting) i could put on it, do let me know. and yes, i do plan to have the popular cheats and easter eggs in there too. regards, damien - Original Message - From: Dark [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2007 5:26 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then?

ok, it depends if you want to wait longer for the game. if you do, then of course, i will make a map editor. this may also bring the price up slightly. not drastically, but a little. regards, damien regards, damien - Original Message - From: Dark [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2007 6:25 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster then? Deffinately sounds fun. I would guess from your description that each building has it's own layout, rather than things being generated randomly. If that is the case, I've been thinking for a long time that a map editer for an audio game would be cool, to allow people to create their own levels. thus far the only game I know that has one is Dyna man, and while that is fun to play around with, personally I don't find the amount of game elements in Dyna man really enough to create a lot of variety when playing with the different maps. but for a game with lots of elements like Bomb blaster, a map editer would deffinately be good I think and could lead to some really interesting and challenging levels. though i do understand that doing this sort of thing might be time consuming as far as programming goes. well there's a suggestion anyway.

Luckily we have been approached by a fellow game design student of the lead programmer of Audio Game Maker and he's willing to continue work as an intern on Audio Game Maker over the next few months if that is possible. So the plan is to finish AGM as quickly as possible, test it on major bugs and issues, get it out as a BETA so people can finally toy around with it and then using your feedback improve AGM. That's the good scenario. The bad one is, if we can't fix major bugs and issues in time, the testing will take longer and the intern will have less time to improve AGM with your feedback. Currently we have some performance issues, mainly resultin in that you might need quite a computer now to run AGM - not one older than 2 or 3 years I guess - or the games made with AGM.

In a few weeks time the students will present their work and the results will be published in the Experimental Audio Games section at AudioGames.net PlayCenter: http://www.audiogames.net/playcenter/index_exp.php (so here you can download all games) Three students have already finished their (mouse-controlled) audio game entitled Underwater.

Use the mouse to move to the left and right. Press the right mouse button to move forward. Press the left mouse button to use your sonar. Now listen carefully! When you hear a low ping back, it means there is a wall. When you hear a high ping back, it means there's treasure! When you get near a treasure you will hear it tinkle. Find them all and dive deeper in to the sea! But be warned... There are rumors of sea mines in the sea. Some say you only hear them by a beeping sound... so watch out! *quote end* The students are very interested in your feedback and comments and tips to improve the game in the remaining time.

Re: [Audyssey] more bugs in treasure mania
well, the sea is the sea, so with all the other sea sounds i can't hear anything distinct when i'm near the rocks. next thing i know? smash smash crash crash! regards, damien - Original Message - From: Dark [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 2:22 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] more bugs in treasure mania Well, that's relatively easy, just listen for a long, shallow sea sound with a bit of undertone, like the sound a sea would make against the shore coming from one side more strongly than the other. While it was a pest at first, I can usually pick it out now, however knowing how far away from the rocks I actually am is much harder, but I'd put that type of thing down to practice rather than game design.

The digital recorder however records background noise and its quality is not as good as the in pc recorder. I must thank phil for mentioning aph recorder in another review of something, I have tried using total recorder, and well hmm I never got the hang of it. Anyway the game is quite good. I have got 6000, and 5200 on other games I have played. quite good. I think there should be another alarm for when you hit the rocks or are about to since the only reason I can tell when I am close is when the sea is right in my right ear. sometimes the treasure is one step away from me smashing myself. I think you should not lose a life if you get your hook stuck though as you can fix it. I also think arrows should make a noise that doesn't sound simular to a bird. Its hard.

Their name will be omitted from the copies pasted below, but I thought it important to include their message to us regarding registration keys, and our response. I hope that, if there are others out there who are also confused by our policies, that this might help them understand how it all works and why. Your feedback is welcome. Thanks. The original contact: Dear Draconis team: I am disappointed by your lack of customer support. I know a number of people who previously purchased games like ESP Pinball, Change Reaction, and Monkey Business from your organization or its predecessors. They are now unable to enjoy the games they legitimately bought and paid for because of your unwillingness to help them rediscover lost product codes. It is a fact of life in the real world that product packaging, e-mail, paper, hard drives, thumb drives and note takers can be destroyed, damaged or lost. Thus, it would make sense to provide your customers with more support than a discounted re-purchase price, or lack of genuine support for older (CD) copies. I personally would have considered purchasing products from your company, but I don't feel any desire to deal with your draconian business practices. I will gladly tell anyone who asks that the software you sell is of high quality, but not worth purchasing because of an utter lack of respect for the customer. I wish your company all the prosperity it deserves. Sincerely, X And our response: Hi X, Thanks for voicing your concerns. Let me explain about the discounted replacement fee, so that hopefully you will understand the situation from our perspective as well. Every CD purchased from us has a printed sticker attached with the user's registration key. It is true that sighted assistance would be necessary to read this sticker. Every e-mail we send out with registration information advises the customers to back up their key in multiple and safe formats, and that Draconis is not responsible for lost keys. For a time, we offered replacement keys free of charge. The problem arises in two areas. First, if we offer replacement keys for free, users are not inclined to take the proper safeguards to protect their keys. We were deluged with dozens of requests a week for replacements when they were free. This causes substantial loss of time we could be devoting to developing new products, processing new orders, responding to technical support, etc. Secondly, our keys, for the customers convenience, are not tied to the users hardware. Many of our competetors require their customers to obtain a new key every time they upgrade their system, purchase a new system, etc, and we feel that waiting for new keys in these circumstances is an unacceptable inconvenience to our customers. Making that decision comes at a high price for us, for a huge number of our customers then feel no pangs at sharing their keys with their friends. Such piracy is highly illegal and we lose sales. We trust that, if we make it painless for the customers to install their game on new machines, they will remain loyal to us and encourage others to obtain the games legally. This is not always the case. We lose a great deal of income every day from those who have opted to obtain the games illegally. All we are asking is a nominal fee to compensate us for the time varifying that the person requesting the key is a legitimate licensee of the product, generating a new key, and sending it to them. This process takes time, and the user should have been careful with their key in any case. The majority of the companies selling accessible games follow this same or similar policy. As another example, if you purchased a Nintendo game from your local store and then lost the disc containing the game, the store would not give you a new free copy of the game because you were careless with your game. You would be forced to purchase a full copy of the game again at the full price. We are not even asking this of our customers. I hope this helps you understand

Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster!
don't know yet. you've got to remember that this game has just started development and have no idea of the extra features i may add. coincidentally, when i first thought up the idea of the game, i was thinking of a rewarding system for completing certain tasks, but liam happened to beat me to that one with jd. so instead, i may have a contest system where every gamer who goes above a certain score will be given a choice to enter some sort of contest, whether it be a mod contest, a points contest, a time contest, whatever contest is being run at the time. what do you guys think of this idea? i'm trying to come up with something that will give it a lot of replay value. i don't believe in just charging for games that once you complete it they become boring. so keep the suggestions coming please. i'm always looking forward to hearing from others. regards, damien - Original Message - From: nicol [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2007 2:49 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] bomb blaster!

Hi, Speaking about contests, a few weeks or months ago I was thinking about some system to promote your games. I thought of a contest where people have to beat each other (highest score, best time) in a freeware game. That game would be a sort of demo for a more extended shareware game. The one with the best results obtains a free copy of this full game, and the others are triggered to purchase it, because they've played the demo.

There's the whole DirectX approach using DirectSound, or you can use an ActiveX multimedia control or you can use the Windows API. I used a multimedia control in the early days but had some compatibility problems and on some systems there were huge delays between playing the WAV files which made the games unusable. I now use the API because it works on anything and doesn't give hassles but the problem I have with it is that you issue a command to play a WAV file but you can't check the status to see if it's finished. Consequently, I have to use the sync and async flags - sync means play the WAV before you process the next command and async carries on. So, if the score is made of several WAV files I'd have to play all but the last one in sync mode, which means the computer isn't doing anything else - like processing the keyboard - while the score is being announced.

Now, I am not sure weather this is do the the fact Vista's drivers are all very experimental and not as full featured as we would all hope, or this feature is something that is absolutely dropped. What I can say is midi support for musicians etc is gone as well, and since I am one myself I am pretty ticked about that.

BSC's games like Troopenum seam to be using an encrypted file packing utility like Molebox. I don't know of anyone who cracked in to it which is good. GMA Games sound encryption isn't all that advanced. In fact I am not sure they are encrypted. They appear to be some raw sound source which gets loaded in to the SOD engine and reconstructed at runtime. All you are doing with Soundforge or Goldwave is reconstructing the sounds from that raw state. A C++ programmer does have the advantage of packing all sounds in to a dll, but there are tools out there that can pick icons and sounds out of compiled dlls. I have heard one of the ways to secure sounds is to include them directly in to your exe file, and then use a binary encryption tool to scramble the exe file so it can not be decompiled and other hacking tools can not steel the sounds or images from it. Down side as with Molebox you have a file several hundred megs large or at least 20 or 30 MB, or whatever size it ends up being.

As a result a feature I liked was taken out. The new mixer I have only offers line in and microphone devices for recording. As far as restarting in dos, um, that has been gone for years.

Overview Windows Vista is a totally new operating system, and is the first operating system to offer a fully 3D graphical operating environment Microsoft has named Windows Arrow. The new Windows Explorer can not only burn data cds and music cds it has been updated to burn data dvds, your home vidios and pictures to dvds, and with Windows media center you can play your dvds and edit media content. Windows Vista has an all new firewall which allows you to block all ports you are not using to prevent hackers, crackers, trogen horses, and other attempts to access your data and content remotely. Windows Vista comes with the .NET Framework 3.0, DirectX 10.0, and Windows Media 11, Internet Explorer 7.0, Outlook Express 7.0, Windows Media Center, and a bunch of other new stuff never seen before. In addition Windows Vista is the first and only operating system that supports the playing of the new blue ray high definition dvds that have just came out on the market in the USA. According to press releases from MS only Vista and newer operating systems will support the blue ray high def disk technology. Since .NET framework 3.0 is now a core component of the operating system rather than an add on Microsoft has bundled the managed DirectX 10 and Managed SAPI support for .NET enabled games and applications right out of the box. No extra software required. Good news for Monty and Raceway fans which are already using the .NET technologies as the core component of those games. Apparently Windows Vista has also intruduced some built in speech recognition into the operating system which allows you to voice dictate emails in Outlook Express, and other documents using notepad wordpad, etc.. I've read there is suppose to be some new features with Vista that allows you to interface with the MS XBox 360, and do some special things if you have an XBox as well. One other cool feature I read about is Windows Vista is installed from images rather than a triditional setup file so the os is litterally extracted on to your hard drive, and ran and configured from that point. Here is a general list of requirements for running Vista with Windows Arrow disabled which I think most blind users would likely wish to do. You need at least a 40 MB hard drive, 512 MB of ram, 800 MHZ processor, a dvd disk drive, and a video card that supports 3D axcelerated graphics. If you want all the really cool blue ray support and the Windows Arrow desktop experience we are talking a gig of memory and somethinglike a 1.2 GHZ processor, 3D graphics card, and so on.

For those who do not want to know the correct answer yet now is the time to go to another email. The correct answer is: The room with the lions. As it was pointed out the lions would be dead after not eating for three years. Congratulations to all those who guessed it correctly.

I will post them one at a time. Here is question 1. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him? I will post the answer in a couple of days if no one guesses it, but I seriously doubt it will go unsolved. Rich ___ Gamers mailing list ..
