Re: [Audyssey] James North?
Yeah. Gears of war would be amasing. But I don't think it would be possable to make so big advanced games... Gears of war is amasing. It comes out for the pc, and I'll see if it's playable. I don't have a XBox, so I have only tried it once. I think some of it is playable, because you can hit the monsters with your weapons.

Hi Lisa, In the final days of Alchemy James mentioned to me that he was giving up, because he was tired of the pressure of dealing with the comunity.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
It'd be sheer luck if you could. Its not accessible at all. Killing the bigger monsters especially would be impossible. You might be able to get a few lucky shots in here and there but I doubt it'd hold. It'd be like walking around in Halo with the trigger held down. I'd love to see an accessible version of Gears of War though. For those that don't know, Gears of War is a game that came out a year or so back for the PC, XBox360 and I think maybe the ps3, though I'm not entirely certain. Basically the human race has expanded into space and has terraformed and colonized other planets. One of the planets they hit, however, apparently didn't appreciate being colonized. These monsters of all shapes and sizes, called the locust hoard, come bursting up from the ground, and start destroying cities and waging war on humanity. For a while we've got the upper hand, but then they pull out all the stops and the game kind of starts you off after humanity's pretty much been totally decimated. Basically you play as this agent guy that's supposed to be humanity's last hope. Some of the monsters in that game are freaking amazing. I remember listening to my brother fighting this gigantic armored spider. And by gigantic I mean somewhere in the range of 15 feet tall, maybe bigger, absolutely huge in diameter, and so well armored that if I remember right, its only vulnerable spot was its underbelly. I love strategic elements like this, since you can't just open up on full auto and hope to defeat it. I really hope we can see something like this come to the Accessible Games community sometime in the future. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
From what I have gathered about North, we are better off without him.

Compare this to developers like Thomas and Phil who keep in constant contact with their customers and try to implement ideas as much as is feasible. Add to this the screw job he put on Thomas with Monty and Raceway and you have an entity that at best laid down a negative influence on the accessible gaming comunity.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
Hi Che, I don't know if you were around when ESP was still developing games, but James North seamed to be a completely different person back then. Actually, when James North was still running ESP his games were pretty good quality and prices were reasonable. He was the original author of games like Monkey Business, Aliens In The Outback, ESP Pinball Classic, Dinaman, Shellshock, ESP Woopasss, and so on. He turned control of ESP over to Josh which is now Draconis Entertainment. In 2004 James North started Alchemy Game studios, and that is when the current troubles began. I will not go over all the bad publicity that James and Alchemy created, but I think your basing your opinion soully on his later actions rather than weighing against the good he did in this comunity as well. Basically, James North has sort of become a Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hide kind of person. There is the James we knew before, and the James we remember now. I agree with everyone that we are better off without him after seeing what he did while running Alchemy. Though, I do remember and respect the work he did before all of this came about.

Re: [Audyssey] James North.
Hi, I'm not going to head down this road again because it will probably get me kicked off list. I do feel the need to say, however, that it was a great deal of how he was treated by his customers that contributed to his leaving. He has some of the best games to date, and he definitely whether they admit it or not had inspiration on a lot of the developers out there today.

I aggree, I would have been happy with that. But james quit the list a bit before this happened. After which there was almost no news on what he was doing, and what he was doing. Pree orders and such as well as time lines and releases piled up for no reason at least to the outside anyway. Even I was hoping to get at least something of what I was hoping would be real cool. And the community waited I think for at least 2 or more years, and still nothing. But I guess we learn from mistake.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
its my opinion to that james should have not sold esp. He did have it made, and he decided to go into another venture. Obviously it was really not as successfull as we all know as well as the pree order screwups. I do aggree that his passed work was real good though. At 11:41 a.m. 3/11/2007, you wrote: Hi Che, I don't know if you were around when ESP was still developing games, but James North seamed to be a completely different person back then. Actually, when James North was still running ESP his games were pretty good quality and prices were reasonable. He was the original author of games like Monkey Business, Aliens In The Outback, ESP Pinball Classic, Dinaman, Shellshock, ESP Woopasss, and so on. He turned control of ESP over to Josh which is now Draconis Entertainment. In 2004 James North started Alchemy Game studios, and that is when the current troubles began. I will not go over all the bad publicity that James and Alchemy created, but I think your basing your opinion soully on his later actions rather than weighing against the good he did in this comunity as well. Basically, James North has sort of become a Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hide kind of person. There is the James we knew before, and the James we remember now. I agree with everyone that we are better off without him after seeing what he did while running Alchemy. Though, I do remember and respect the work he did before all of this came about. Che wrote: From what I have gathered about North, we are better off without him. He had nothing but disdain for blind gamers, charging the highest prices for games that weren't worth it in my opinion, and didn't give a crap what users had to say about his games. Compare this to developers like Thomas and Phil who keep in constant contact with their customers and try to implement ideas as much as is feasible. Add to this the screw job he put on Thomas with Monty and Raceway and you have an entity that at best laid down a negative influence on the accessible gaming comunity. Bottom line, fare thee well James North, and don't let the digital door hit you in the butt crack on the way out.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
Hi Charles, Yes. James North was very much an inovater and driving force in this comunity a few years ago. His games like ESP Pinball was the first accessible pinball game, Monkey Business was the first FPS game for the blind, DinoMan was a cool rendition of Pacman, Aliens In the Outback was a cool Space invaders style game, and he created allot of fun and enjoyable games that are still well liked today. It's not completely accurate to say he created worthless games. Yes, it is true Raceway and Montezuma's Revenge were far from his earlier works, but perhaps if he had taken more time with them and completed them they might have turned out as good as his earlier projects. We will never know though, because he quit in March 2006. Charles Rivard wrote: You say:He had nothing but disdain for blind gamers, charging the highest prices for games that weren't worth it in my opinion, and didn't give a crap what users had to say about his games. You are very much misinformed. You have your opinions about his games, but he did care about what gamers had to say about his games. He created Aliens in the Outback, and implemented many of the suggestions from gamers on how to improve it. His games, in my opinion, were of high quality and fairly priced, but that's my opinion. I still enjoy his games. He did make a number of very good contributions to the blind gaming community before he left the scene. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
I'm with ya. I'm not defending James, but I'm not really against him either. I'm still keeping a little faith that max shrapnel might come out, but I dunno, its hard to say.

Hi Lisa, In the final days of Alchemy James mentioned to me that he was giving up, because he was tired of the pressure of dealing with the comunity. His problem was that he took preorders and the comunity wanted immediate results, a reasonable time frame for release on the games, and he was busy dealing with his family issues etc. He had allot going on in his private life that he refused to tell the comunity, and so they hounded him day and night until he just quit. I have the proof on cd he was really working on the games, but he was months behind on anything that looked like a final release for Raceway or Montezuma's Revenge. He clamed he was unable to work on the games do to work, family issues, etc and so he was both unable and unwilling to work on the games in the time frame most gamers wanted him to. If he would have been more forth coming about his personal issues, not taken preorders, a few other bad mistakes I think the comunity would have left him alone or slackened off while he worked on the games on his own terms and time available.

Have to agree, Ron. Alien outback is still one of my favorites to date. That game is so addicting, and the sounds and music really do give an arcade feel. Wish he'd sold Max to tom as well though.

I do aggree that his passed work was real good though. At 11:41 a.m. 3/11/2007, you wrote: Hi Che, I don't know if you were around when ESP was still developing games, but James North seamed to be a completely different person back then. Actually, when James North was still running ESP his games were pretty good quality and prices were reasonable. He was the original author of games like Monkey Business, Aliens In The Outback, ESP Pinball Classic, Dinaman, Shellshock, ESP Woopasss, and so on. He turned control of ESP over to Josh which is now Draconis Entertainment. In 2004 James North started Alchemy Game studios, and that is when the current troubles began. I will not go over all the bad publicity that James and Alchemy created, but I think your basing your opinion soully on his later actions rather than weighing against the good he did in this comunity as well. Basically, James North has sort of become a Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hide kind of person. There is the James we knew before, and the James we remember now. I agree with everyone that we are better off without him after seeing what he did while running Alchemy. Though, I do remember and respect the work he did before all of this came about. Che wrote: From what I have gathered about North, we are better off without him. He had nothing but disdain for blind gamers, charging the highest prices for games that weren't worth it in my opinion, and didn't give a crap what users had to say about his games. Compare this to developers like Thomas and Phil who keep in constant contact with their customers and try to implement ideas as much as is feasible. Add to this the screw job he put on Thomas with Monty and Raceway and you have an entity that at best laid down a negative influence on the accessible gaming comunity. Bottom line, fare thee well James North, and don't let the digital door hit you in the butt crack on the way out.
