Re: [Audyssey] Playing the Spaceship Game
Hi, You said you hope he releases a patch -- I understand this, so you can use the page up and page down, but remember that philip doesn't want that considered in the ratings if he does release a patch, as that would be like giving him more time than 2 months to work on the game -- this is why he is hosting them himself, so they can't be changed after they've been released for the competition. Just figured I'd throw that out there. -Michael. -Original Message- From: Thomas Ward Sent: Friday, April 06, 2012 12:39 AM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Playing the Spaceship Game Hi Michael, I've been trying to give Spaceship a chance, but I am continually frustrated by the game.

Hello, I agree with Michael. This isn't to say that he couldn't release a patch after the competition has finished and we find out the winner.

Re: [Audyssey] Playing the Spaceship Game
I'm glad it's not just me. I'm afraid I had no luck with it, all I could do was basically move around in 2D (the page up and down or home and end keys didn't work at all from what I could gather). the sounds are confusing and I found the voices at the start of the game near inaudiable. I'm afraid I have already rated the game myself, and while I tried to recognize the good points about the game, the sounds and music are obviously of high quality, after a solid hour of trying and not being able to get anywhere or make any headway I pretty much gave up with the thing.

Michael, Yeah, I am aware that he can't patch the game while it is being rated for the contest. What I meant is I hope after the results are in he continues working on the game and adds a few things here and there. I genuinely like the game concept, think the sounds and music are decent, but I'm not making any headway with the game play. I think he could spend a few days just working on a few things here and there to improve the existing game idea.

Re: [Audyssey] Playing the Spaceship Game
Hi Dark, Hmmm...Did the speech come up in English or Spanish. The game is multilingual and if it is in Spanish that might be [part of the problem here. :D That said, the default speech does sound a bit strange. He tried adding some special effects to the Sapi voice he used, I want to say Ivona Jenifer, and its a bit hard to hear the speech with all the funky echo and choris effects he used.

Re: [Audyssey] Playing the Spaceship Game
Hi, First, Don't start in the fighting practice area. Start with the regular game. The fighting practice should probably have been named survival mode, or something similar. The regular game itself actually does a good job of explaining what is going on and the descriptions of enemies are given as they're introduced. Secondly, turn off the music. There is a static sound near the center of each level which seems to be just an ambiance noise. Everything else in the enemies. Basically, use the arrow keys to move around in the area, the page up and page down keys do not work for me, and either get a line of sight to the enemy, which can be determined both by the stereo position and by the look feature, and use the control plus directional to fire at the enemy, or get as close as you can, drop a mine, and run.

Re: [Audyssey] Playing the Spaceship Game
Hi Karl, Well, I did start with the actual game instead of the Fighting Practice Mode, and I can't even get out of the first area. I try and look for a door, hatch, or something with look mode and nothing. All it says is wall, wall, wall, wall, etc. I've also turned off the music which helps some, but since I don't know what each sound means in context that still doesn't help. What I'd like here is a description of each sound and what they are suppose to be. In Fighting Practice Mode I can't seem to hit anything. I use the look keys just like you said and all it says if there is a wall in x feet. The q key tells me there is like 3 worms, a snake, and a cat nearby, but when I press shift+left, shift+right, shift+up, or shift+down wall, wall, wall, etc. No enemies. I just don't get it. Also the page up and page down keys on my laptop don't work. I press them and it does absolutely nothing. Maybe a bug here? Cheers!

The fighting practice should probably have been named survival mode, or something similar. The regular game itself actually does a good job of explaining what is going on and the descriptions of enemies are given as they're introduced. Secondly, turn off the music. There is a static sound near the center of each level which seems to be just an ambiance noise. Everything else in the enemies.

Re: [Audyssey] Playing the Spaceship Game
I play the game while using Jaws and found that only the pageup and pagedown keys on the numberpad worked. There's also a sort of double swish alert sound when an enemy is close or in the same passage or something like that. I'm pretty impressed with this game overall considering its short development time. Give it a chance. It grows on you.

Re: [Audyssey] Playing the Spaceship Game
Hi Michael, I've been trying to give Spaceship a chance, but I am continually frustrated by the game. I just can't seem to figure it out. However, you did answer one of the problems I was having. I was running it on a laptop, which unfortunately didn't have a numpad, so page up and page down weren't working. I wish Claudio would have thought of problems like this before releasing Spaceship as that is a pretty common issue. A lot of blind gamers have laptops, netbooks, etc and assuming the target system has a full sized keyboard is a big mistake. Anyway, I haven't voted yet because I am trying to keep an open mind about the game, see if I can get into it, and hope Claudio releases a patch to fix some of these issues like the page up or page down keys. In the mean time I plan to play with it over the Easter holidays. I'll probably turn in my ratings early next week once I have had time to get use to the game.
