Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi Rob, I think that many of the points you raised are shared by more educated programmers and developers. Those of us who are adept at Visual C#, Visual C++, Visual Basic, Java, have a huge advantage in that we can basically create anything we can dream up and program. Not only that design applications above and beyond games. However, that isn't really the point of Audio Game Maker. The point of the project as I see it is a tool which will allow non-programmer and non-techno types a chance at writing games. Perhaps they won't be the next Shades of Doom, Final Fantacy, Quake, but they will be easy enough to create and hopefully fun to play. If nothing else something amature game developer x can post and say, "hey, look what I made." It is also important to remember that GMA offers their engine which is easier than learning a full blown programming language if an amature wishes to go with something a bit more pro grade. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Hi, Ah, that would be cool. I have no idea if Audo Game Maker could do something that complex, but a good game engine for rpgs really could be useful in our comunity.

No no, that's not what I meant. I was thinking of something like the original Final Fantasy or even later installments of the series, where the game was still single player, but the player had control of a party of four or even five characters. There was no online play involved. Think of it as STFC in a fantasy setting, where the player controls four or five people, except that you travel around the world in realtime and only the battles are turn-based.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi Bryan, Well, not all rpg games are multi player such as Sryth which tends to follow one character as he/she works his or her way through the world of Sryth. Although, what you are thinking of a multiuser rpg where everyone can play together I don't see Audio Games Maker doing that. Making it say online playable adds a completely different demention to gaming as well as programming.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Remember, too, how they made sounds in the 4j0's. Fire was not the crackling of wood, but of cellophane. I wouldn't use these types of sounds normally, but imagine a game set in the old west with an OTR feel--how freeing it would be to just decide what something should sound like and come up with weird ways to make it happen. These wouldn't be realistic of course, but it would be kind of funny... Ken Downey President DreamTechInteractive! And, Coming soon, Blind Comfort!

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Well, here's what I am thinking. Let's say I am trying to get a specific type of sound for my game and I try several times to create that sound and it just isn't what I want I could post the best of the rejects on this site I was speaking of earlier and let everyone choose from that list if they wanted. I am not saying the effect would be poor just not what I needed. So, I would keep the final choice and the others could be available so that someone could find that perfect sound without so much worry that one game would sound like another. Yvonne Stressed out?

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi Brian. Looking at the properties and reactions for player and opponent building blocks, I believe multiple charactors is a possibility. I think creating a party of one player and several automatic allies that move and attack things on their own wouldn't be too hard to do. You could then have a menue world with various things in it that would effect the stats of the ally building blocks as well as the player. for example, putting in a message building block that would say "Equip armour" to charactor A, would increase the defence of one of the ally blocks, or "use spell" would decrease one of their stats and damage all enemies in the current world (though unless it were possible to give blocks 2 sets of amo stats and attacks, I'm not sure how you'd stop the computer from waisting all of your charactors spells, unless maybe you could create an inactive opponent block which would have no effect in the current world other than holding an amo stat for the use of magic, which would decrease when you activated a spell. I suspect if you used inactivatable player blocks that would carry the stats of the opponent blocks and trade places with them when activated, you might even be able to have switching betwene fully controlable charactors as in Secret of Manner, but I'm not certain on this. Of course, I could be talking a lot of complete and utter Grue poo here, having never seen the game maker in action. I do however have one moderately serieous question about it. Can you copy elements directly from one world to another? or store settings for particular worlds and building blocks that you can re use in other worlds? it would strike me that if you were going to have repeated game elements appearing in a large number of game worlds, to have to constantly recreate them might be an extremely lengthy process. say (to take a simple example), your writing and Rpg and create a Goblin, which you want for a generic enemy in just about all game locations. It'd be a lot easier to have some way of coppying the goblins, links to sound files and all, than of having to constantly recreate them. Likewise, if you've got to do something mega complicated with players and items to get certain effects working, it'd be an absolute nightmare to have to do this in every game world, especially if you had a very large game with lots of different environments like an Rpg. Sorry for yet another extended stream of longwinded wordiness from me reguarding the audio game maker, just put it down to my profession as a philosopher, my excitement about the A.g.m, or both. Btw, making people excited about an A.g.M. is a pretty huge achievement in itself, sinse the acronym usually stands for anual general meeting. Beware the Grue! Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
It still sounds confusing to me, but I imagine that once I can actually sitdown and play with Audio Game Maker a bit I might get the hang of it. The only thing I don't like about it so far, and I acknowledge that I could be wrong about it, is that it doesn't look as though you can create a true RPG. That is, where you have a party of several controlable characters. A very simple RPG like Dragon Warrior I might be possible, but since you're apparently only allowed to have one player it doesn't look as though we'll be creating any Final Fantasy type games, unless future updates of the program allow the creation f multiple controllable characters. As for my current idea, it's a Metroid style audio game, although how doable that will be with this program is still in question. I'm just working on a makeshift manual right at the moment.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi. Creating sound effects actually sounds like good fun, especially the voice acting part (I look forward to playing monsters in any games I make). But for the sounds that I can't create, I'd like as wide a choice as possible, so that any game I do sources of sound effects are helpful create is unique sounding as well as (hopefully), interesting to play. So it's great to know about these various sources for sound effects , and I hope that people won't mind making them (or at least some of them), available to potential game authors. Of course buying a library is an option, and I well might do that myself if I really get into the games making business, but certainly it'd help people who either can't afford a library or are just starting out in game making (like I will be when the Audio game maker comes out), to have a good selection of sounds on offer. Hmmm, maybe the Audio Game maker site could have a page of links to various sources for sounds? Btw, thom, I'll be interested to try out audio asteroids anyway, even without the special effects Lib (Spaceworms sound entertaining). Jim, I love the Simpson's samples in your games, having Doe! when I select the wrong golf club or get sent to jail in monopoly is always fun. I have a few rather crazy ideas about sound creation myself, hopefully I'll be able to share them with people soon. Beware the Grue! Dark. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Hi Dark, Sure there are obviously circumstances as you gave where someone can't make his or own effects such as fire, or even using explosives to make explosions. That is understandable.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
I have sound cds, and through private or public servers I get some also. I also have a friend with loads of cds, and these are for games and things. I get stuff off those however I can't really use copyright sounds in my things, I mostly listen to these for the hell of it. I actually have found some of the sounds in libraries anyway.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi Nicol, *quote Does the audio game maker allow you to make a game where the player choose options from a menu? *quote end* Yes, that can be done. There is no standard "menu"-building block, but you can make menu's with some clever use of message blocks. However, you might not even need "standard" menu's when you can have a menu where each item is a soundsource placed somewhere in a space. Connect each one to a portal building block and you can create a menu that is spaced in ..err.. space. Audio Game Maker first and foremost focuses on building blocks with which you can create *gameplay*. It is being developed in a very short time so that is why this has priority. Therefore, things like "save games" and "intro menu's" have been pushed to the back of the production. First and foremost we would like people to be able to create fun games/gameplay with Audio Game Maker, instead of people being able to create wonderful menu's but no games. *quote* does the audio game maker allow you to have a speaker test function which the player can use to ensure his speakers are correct? *quote end* Sure, you simply play a soundfile with a voice saying "left" (panned left) and "right" (panned right) using the Message building block (http://www.audiogamemaker.com/manual/building_blocks.html#message) at the beginning of a game.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
The other aspect of creating games of course is doing voice overs. To create voice overs you need voice recording software! Sayh for instance you need a voice that speaks the contents of a menu?

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi thom. As I said, I was thinking mostly in terms of ambient environmental effects here, sinse i do very much understand the danger of all games sounding the same. One problem though, is while ameter main stream game developers are quite free to draw their own graffics, ameter audio game developers can't be quite as free when it comes to recording or creating sounds. If I was the BBc radio workshop, and I wanted a fire effect in my game, I'd be quite free to build a fire of the appropriate size and stick a sensative mike near it. However, though I do have a very good mike, If I tried to build a fire I'd get chucked out of my colidge, and probably even taken to court as well. Obviously, for sounds it is possible to reccord, it'd be far better if people made their own sounds, but this can't go for everything. The only way i can see around this problem is to have as wide a variety of generic sounds available as possible, to give people the maximum amount of choice about what gets put into their games. for example, if there were 10 or 20 different wind effects on offer as opposed to just a couple, you could have ten games all with different wind sound effects, even if they each used a combination of three or four of them at a time (I know myself I'd want several effects for different environments). Imho the more choice in this matter, the better, though obviously my opinions as far as charactor sounds go are rather different. Beware the Grue! Dark. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi Dark, I have many of the effects you were talking about such as gusting wind, burning torches, dripping water, etc as I have allot of that stuff for Montezuma's Revenge as well as a couple of games yet to be announced and built. As far as sharing sound effects I suppose the Audio Games Maker comunity can make a library of sounds and share them around, but the problem I see with that is uniqueness. Here is an example of this. When James North started Monty he was heavily depending on sound effects from Monkey Business. Especially the temple level. That is fine as they were originally his sounds, and he passed them on to Josh when James turned Monkey Business over to him. So when I took over Montezuma's Revenge I discovered a nice sound effects library on the source code cd, and most of which were from Monkey Business. Although I am perfectly in my right to go ahead and use the sounds he had planned for Montezuma's Revenge I have been hoping to come up with my own temple effects for Monty and get away from sounding like Monkey Business. Main reason is uniqueness. I want Monty to sound unique not like 10 levels of Monkey Business's temple level. My first Alpha release used many of the Monkey Business effects that shipped with the source, but now in Alpha 2 I have replaced a good number of effects with higher quality and more unique sounding effects. Montezuma's Revenge shouldn't sound like Monkey Business when the finish product is released. Bottom line what i am saying is it would be a shame to have 30 nice new games, and almost all the sound effects are the same. We want sounds to sound different much as vidio games pride themselves on different and better graphics. You are right wind effects, gun shots, etc probably don't differ much from game to game. However, it is time to be careful how many common effects you use or your game play might be different,but your game sounds just like everyone elses. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Good site, and highly useful methinks when the audio gamemaker comes out. Some of their selections were a bit odd though. thinking rpg environments, i was looking for some wind sound effects. Searching under "wind" brought me lots of smashing window sounds, whilst searching under "weather" got some wonderful rain and thunder effects, but no wind. Also, when trying to find ambience for dungeon environments, the only entry it got me (when I searched under "Tunnels" was an underground train ;D. Though I would guess that a dungeon environment would be fairly easy to recreate using the audio game maker's own acoustics, and maybe some dripping water or burning torche effects for a bit of atmosphere. Hopefully though, once a community of audio game producers has built up, there will be a fair library of generic object sounds available to use. though I don't think it would be right to copy the sounds people create themselves, specifically for charactors or situations in their own games. so, taking sod as an example, sounds like the wind, step, and weapon firing sounds would probably be okay to copy, sinse they're fairly generic objects, but the monster sounds are unique to sod. If you coppied the mutant human sound into your own game, for all intents and purposes, your monsters are then Sod mutant humans, whatever you intend them to be. so if you used the mutant human sound for an ogre in a fantasy game, it wouldn't actually be an ogre, imho it'd be more like a sod mutant human pretending to be an ogre. it would be like cutting the sprites (graffic representations of charactors), out of one main stream game and coppying them into another, and in most cases this isn't exactly legal. Of course, if you were making a sod 2 or something like, you'd need the mutant human sound to represent mutant humans. but other than that, i really! don't think coppying the charactor sounds from other games is a good idea, even if it were legal.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi Nicol, No I doubt you will find the mutant human effect on the net, but it isn't anything major to recreate. Find a voice actor to moan like it, edit it, and drop it in your game. That is one of the easier effects to make. It is up there with making Zombies and other humanoid monsters.

Hi, Making your own sounds and music is actually the fun part of game programming and design. Designing how your world will sound and feel like.

Hi Bryan, Yes, The Megaman games were side-scrollers. Most of the original NES games were. This is where the Montezuma's Revenge would be well suited to games like this. I certainly don't plan for Monty to be the last using that engine.

If you need a sound that can't be optained for free and you wouldn't have any copyright issues, you can easily record it with the "what u hear" or "stereo/mono mix" feature of most modern sound cards.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
You can always get help with that aspect. I myself am going to need help with music composition, having little to no knowledge of that area in my own right. Then again, I will be taking a Music Appreciation class next semester so I might learn a thing or two. As for sounds, I'm sure there are places where you can find plenty of free, high quality sounds. Yeah, sound libraries cost a lot, but it's probably cheaper than most technology for the blind I'd wager. It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go. J.D.

Hi Nicol, Yes, these questions are already answered on the website but here goes: Audio Game Maker will be free. It will not use a programming language (although it requires some programming logic from the user) but will allow you, in short, to build a game by placing game building blocks in a game space.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
well, when the question of payment has come up on the audio games.net forum, Richard and co have stated the audio game maker will be free, and certainly nothing on the website indicates that things have changed in any way. After reading the manual, it does appear to me that you can use the audio game maker on it's own to create audio games, no programming language knolidge required, which is very good for people like myself. beware the Grue! dark. - Original Message - From: "nicol" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 5:19 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek > The developers of the audio game maker, are they going to charge us any > money to use the audio game maker? > Sorry guys, just a quick question.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
hi You get a wide variety of games. Each game needs its own sounds. And this is where the problem lies: if audio game maker is for free, you need to spend a lot of money because you need sounds for the games you create so you need to buy sound libraries. Sound libraries do cost money! Or does the developers of audio game maker supply people with sound libraries included in the package? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of AudioGames.net Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 2:25 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek Hi David, I'll try to answer that question the best I can: Every game that is created with Audio Game Maker consists of multiple files: a standard Audio Game Player.exe, some standard library files, an XML file that contains all the data of the game, and four folders that contain all the sound files that are used in the game. To distribute a game, you simply share these files with someone else (simply .zip them up and send 'm). That person does not need to have Audio Game Maker, as all games are stand-alone. However, when someone receives a game from somebody else and puts the files in the Audio Game Maker folder, that person is able to open the .XML game file using Audio Game Maker. This means that when you create a game with Audio Game Maker and distribute it (either for free, money, goats, Linden dollars or MySpace kudos) others can access your game file later on, edit it, change the soundfiles, and distribute it themselves for even more goats or red paperclips. Therefore I hope you see that once you sell one game and it's out on the Net, others can easily modify it. I personally don't have anything against you selling a game you made with Audio Game Maker (you have every right to ask for compensation for your hard work), but with how Audio Game Maker works, you probably won't make that much money. Although, I might add, I hereby dare the community to come up with your own economic system if you want ;) Like a donation system, or a "ransom marketing" system (you create a game but not yet release it, advertise it, and when you receives enough money in donations, you release the game for free), etc. etc.. I dare you all, folks ... (smile) ... The goals of the Audio Game Maker project are: 1) to increase the amount of audio games 2) give visually impaired wanna-be game designers a chance to develop their own audio games with a (simple) "what you hear is what you get"- kind of tool (at least something simpler than C++) I am personally very interested in point 1, since "more games" means "more examples added to the discourse" means "more knowledge on audio game design" and "more examples of accessible game design for the general game industry". For us there is no financial gain in this whole project. We decided for a "non-protected" format for the games for several reasons. One was that it is quite hard (given the short amount of time in which Audio Game Maker is conceived) to create a tool with which one can create games that are copy-protected/piracy safe. The other was that we would like to create a community of people all developing audio games, sharing their ideas and games with each other, teaming up to build larger games together. We were thinking along the lines of this: let's say that there are a few people out there who want to build a Pong-type of game. With Audio Game Maker, once someone has finished a Pong game, others can use that game to create their own version, convert it into an Arkenoid type of game, etc. Many of you are currently into modding existing audio games. Think of this as not only being able to change each others sound files, but also take a game and make it your own.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Sorry all my caps lock was accidentally on in part of the message. Its not my intention to scream at all! Guys, I really really hope the audio game maker is going to be the start of a huge gaming community. You know what? Sighted people, especially sighted children daily exchange CARTRIDGES OF GAMES AMONGST EACH OTHERS. And on each cartridge there is about 60 games, ranging from side scrollers, to racing games, to shooter games. I want to tell you the account of a little honest boy. He was always very honest. This boy fared badly in school, so his mom forbids him to play tv games during the week. He's only allowed tv games during weekends. This is to help him spend more time on home work. This one afternoon his mom was at work and his friend brought him another cartridge full of games to try out. He phoned his mom and asked if he can please try out this new games. He said: mom I know you don't want me to play games during the week but I'm very curious, so his mom allowed him an hour justs because he is so honest. An hour went by and he phoned his mom again and said: mom an hour has passed, can I please have some more time to try out these games? He could just as well played games. My mom is at work, how will she know that I play games. But he was honest, he phoned his mom and asked permission. I don't intend to go off topic. That's just something kids can learn from. But really guys! It would be great if the blind gaming community can grow as large as the sighted gaming community. |Just imagine if we can have more side scrollers. I wish someone could make an accessible version of balloon fight. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dark Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 5:23 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek Hmmm, I see.

unless there is a way of incripting the xml files I doubt there is much point in selling the games you make. donationware sounds a good option, freeware, although opensource probably will work just as well.

So you can use it to create a magic sword, healing potions, key to open a certain door. But, items can also change certain properties of the avatar (whether this is the speed of a walking character or a massive tank). Please see: http://www.audiogamemaker.com/manual/item/item_properties.html (item properties) http://www.audiogamemaker.com/manual/item/item_reactions.html (item reactions) *quote* > also, is it possible to set enemy resistance to particular items? such as > certain creatures needing to be attacked by a specific item in order to be > defeated? > second, is there a way of creating player items that would allow attacks > at > a specific rate, ega chargeable sword swing which would do more damage? *quote end* Mmm let me think about that. I guess that this functionality (resistance against some but not all items) is not in Audio Game Maker. But I guess that with a work around, you might be able to create more or less the same functionality. An option is to maybe use a timer to always gradually increases the opponents health to a certain maximum. Then give the player several weapons that do little damage, and give him one weapon that does do a lot of damage, meaning that this weapon must be used for this particular monster. And after the player succeeds, remove the weapon to avoid that the player uses this against other enemies. Another option might be, that when a player makes an attack with a certain weapon, you might be able to connect it to a trigger, which in turn adds more damage to the opponent. This just from the top of my head... I'm not saying it is possible, I'm saying it might be possible with a work around. Many things will be possible with Audio Game Maker, but you need to be able to think of creative solutions ;) *quote* > I think these are the only two things i can see that would be needed to > create an action/rpg game akin to Zelda or secret of Mana, (I'm truly > impressed by the "ally" status option), sinse everything else that I can > think of is most deffinately there! *quote end* I can see where this particular functionality might be important.

There is not a Menu Building Block so you need to build something yourself. Each menu could perhaps be a world consisting of a ?x1 grid. Each cell would contain a sound source that can only be heard when the avatar collides with the sound source by moving from cell to cell. Then you can attach a portal to it to create some sort of interaction, so that when the player hits a button on a certain cell, he/she is transported to another world using the portal. In this case, the new world could also be a "menu" world. But maybe it's easier to use multiple Message blocks in one world... I guess there are multiple ways to getting the same result :) *quote* > Well, i can't wait to see what happens when the audio game maker is > released, *quote end* Me too ;) *quote* > and what extra modules you've got in developement in the future to > make the system even more diverse and let people create even more types of > games (such as 2d side scrollers). *quote end* You probable can make 2D side scrollers with Audio Game Maker already.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Uh, I forget who, but somebody reported a problem with getting the site to load. All that came up was the title bar. I, too, am experiencing this problem. I was going to view the manual and stuff but the page doesn't seem to load. It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go. J.D.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi David, I'll try to answer that question the best I can: Every game that is created with Audio Game Maker consists of multiple files: a standard Audio Game Player.exe, some standard library files, an XML file that contains all the data of the game, and four folders that contain all the sound files that are used in the game. To distribute a game, you simply share these files with someone else (simply .zip them up and send 'm). That person does not need to have Audio Game Maker, as all games are stand-alone. However, when someone receives a game from somebody else and puts the files in the Audio Game Maker folder, that person is able to open the .XML game file using Audio Game Maker. This means that when you create a game with Audio Game Maker and distribute it (either for free, money, goats, Linden dollars or MySpace kudos) others can access your game file later on, edit it, change the soundfiles, and distribute it themselves for even more goats or red paperclips. Therefore I hope you see that once you sell one game and it's out on the Net, others can easily modify it. I personally don't have anything against you selling a game you made with Audio Game Maker (you have every right to ask for compensation for your hard work), but with how Audio Game Maker works, you probably won't make that much money. Although, I might add, I hereby dare the community to come up with your own economic system if you want ;) Like a donation system, or a "ransom marketing" system (you create a game but not yet release it, advertise it, and when you receives enough money in donations, you release the game for free), etc. etc.. I dare you all, folks ... (smile) ... The goals of the Audio Game Maker project are: 1) to increase the amount of audio games 2) give visually impaired wanna-be game designers a chance to develop their own audio games with a (simple) "what you hear is what you get"- kind of tool (at least something simpler than C++) I am personally very interested in point 1, since "more games" means "more examples added to the discourse" means "more knowledge on audio game design" and "more examples of accessible game design for the general game industry". For us there is no financial gain in this whole project. We decided for a "non-protected" format for the games for several reasons. One was that it is quite hard (given the short amount of time in which Audio Game Maker is conceived) to create a tool with which one can create games that are copy-protected/piracy safe. The other was that we would like to create a community of people all developing audio games, sharing their ideas and games with each other, teaming up to build larger games together. We were thinking along the lines of this: let's say that there are a few people out there who want to build a Pong-type of game. With Audio Game Maker, once someone has finished a Pong game, others can use that game to create their own version, convert it into an Arkenoid type of game, etc. Many of you are currently into modding existing audio games. Think of this as not only being able to change each others sound files, but also take a game and make it your own. This is something that has been going on with Flash/Shockwave game development for many years already. Is this enough of an answer? Greets and thanks for your interest!

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Personally, if I ever make a game (and hopefully this will let me do just that), I do it for the pleasure of creating the thing, and so that other people can enjoy it, not to get money. If hosting the game somewhere requires money, then I might conceivably accept donations from people who liked the game and might want others to use it, but these would be donations, not mandatory. Please don't think I'm bashing the audio game developing bunch here, if your actually making a living by creating accessible games, you obviously need the money to continue buying food and such. Also, i imagine the people at Draconis, Bsc etc probably put lots more ful time and effort into their game creations than I possibly ever could -- for one thing, they took the time to learn to program in the first place, which certainly gets my respect.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi Shaun, We are doing the testing with students from the Bartimeus foundation for the Blind, so no testing via the internet. However, due to the extremely short development time, I doubt that we have a lot of time for testing. Perhaps the biggest test will be Februari 1st :) Greets, Richard - Original Message - From: "shaun everiss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" ; "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 6:12 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek > do you have places for testers. > At 01:31 AM 12/6/2006, AudioGames.net wrote: >>Hi Will, >> >>Unfortunately not.

Re: [Audyssey] Audio Game Maker - Sneak Peek
Hi. I've been reading the audio game maker documentation and am extremely impressed, sinse even though i don't know a lot about programming, I'm fairly certain with an example or two I could deffinately get my head around what building blocks do what here. I do however have a couple of questions: First, is there a way to create a useable inventory of items which a player could switch betwene? these could be different weapons and armour to equip, different spells with different hit radius and amo requirements aka magic points, keys, or healing potions or other replenishment items. If I haven't miss understood some of the item properties, it also appears you could use an inventory function in a vehicle based game to equip different parts to your vehicle to increase it's speed handling or offencive capabilities. also, is it possible to set enemy resistance to particular items? such as certain creatures needing to be attacked by a specific item in order to be defeated? second, is there a way of creating player items that would allow attacks at a specific rate, ega chargeable sword swing which would do more damage? I think these are the only two things i can see that would be needed to create an action/rpg game akin to Zelda or secret of Mana, (I'm truly impressed by the "ally" status option), sinse everything else that I can think of is most deffinately there! i was also wondering if there was any function in the game to create menues at specifictimes and locations. These could be used for all sorts of things, from choosing the world (useful in a vehicle based game for selecting paths or race courses), to choosing what you say to another charactor in an action or rpg game, with associated sound files (and maybe recieving different items as well), attached to each choice, it might also be possible to use a menue system to create turn based combat, by having menue choices attached to reduction in various charactors or opponent's stats, use of items etc (though obviously this would be more complicated to impliment. Well, i can't wait to see what happens when the audio game maker is released, and what extra modules you've got in developement in the future to make the system even more diverse and let people create even more types of games (such as 2d side scrollers). All the best with this project. Beware the Grue!
