Re: [Audyssey] Puppet nightmares question

Hi Sarah.

to be fair, everything you need in battle is there in the mouseover text for 
a skill, your told exactly how it affects your party, it's just that your 
given no atmosphereic info at all which is why I mention the battles being 
almost more like a card game than any sort of exciting fight against your 
foes.


this is a shame, but the gm of the game seems to think that such 
descriptions only appeal to blind people, and would ruin the positioning of 
the interface, for all that he's been great on straight out access measures 
such as labeling unlabeld images and the like.


It is the one thing about puppet nightmares which I do find disappointing.

Beware the grue!

Dark.

Hi Dark,

ok, I know what you mean. You can look up skills for your party when you 
get them, but when an enemy uses something in battle that you don't know 
and you only can look it up afterwards, the description is kind of lacking 
there.


In Final Fantasy games for example you get really cool animations with 
some skills and especially for guardian forces and souch. This adds quite 
a bit to the athmosphere of the game.


Best regards
Sarah

Re: [Audyssey] Puppet nightmares question

2013-04-02 Thread dark

Hi Sarah.

You can view the stats of skills in the game without difficulty by reading 
their mouse over text, that however is not the problem in terms of 
atmsophere.


You'll be fighting a nasty boss, and be told "nemesis uses black drane" you 
can mouse over "black drane" to tell you that it has a chance of inflicting 
drain or poison, and raises your characters afinity to dark element, but 
that doesn't tell you what "black drane" actually is, which, given the fact 
your fighting a boss is rather disappointing. Yes, you can look it up, but 
only when the battle is finished.


Same goes with items, you get all the stats but none of the atmosphere.

That's my only major issue with the game, that the battles basically feel 
more like a card game than an actual representation of battle since your not 
really told much. Of course the card game is a distinctly good one and 
requires lots of concentration to play, but it is still a little 
disappointing in this respect, particularly because the characters and story 
are! indeed very interesting and quite unique.


Beware the Grue!

Dark.

Hi Richard,

I can understand your problem. And for some reason, webvisum doesn't work 
with this site.


I simply let the site generate a new captcha when I couldn't understand the 
one I got and turned the volume up quite a bit. I also needed quite a few 
tries, but I got it eventually. Fortunately you only have to do this once.


Best regards
Sarah

I can't really say anything about the skills in battle yet, since I didn't

then I'll probably see what you mean. I don't think it's too bad if you have

Hi may.

Welcome to the list. Puppet nightmares can be found at 
http://www.puppetnightmares.com/  it's a brouser rpg, played on the 
internet, but as I said it is a complex game.


for future reference however, the two best places to lookk for accessible 
games and information are the site database over at www.audiogames.net, and 
the fantastic games list at www.pcsgames.net. both resources are maintained 
and have a lot of info, you can also search the audiogames.net db by genre 
and some other catagorizations in order to find games you like.


hth.

Re: [Audyssey] Puppet nightmares question

2013-04-01 Thread dark

Hi Sarah.

that is true regarding the help system, I've read many pages of it several 
times over to get to grips with some of the more complicated aspects of the 
game. You can also ask other players in chat or on the forums too, since 
they tend to be a helpful lot as well.


the only thing I dislike about the game, is in order to get descriptions of 
items, skills and various other things you need to physically look them up 
in the various information lists. This makes battles, while very tactical 
and complex less good for your imagination since while your quite able to 
see that the skill hydra does different sorts of elemental damage to all of 
the opposing soul puppets depending upon your own puppets magic stat vs the 
enemy's resistance, your not told actually what is supposed to be going on 
when the skill is used and the only way to find that information is to look 
it up in the skill list.


This makes puppet nightmares a great and complex tactical battle game, but 
one which loses somewhat of it's atmosphere, which is a shame since it does! 
have an interesting story, quests and world, it's just that these aren't 
represented equally throughout the game.


that being said, other than ce it's the game that has held my interest 
longest and I do occasionally go back and do a little more, training up my 
kidsies and doing quests.


I'll also add that credit, the donation currency is great, since while you 
can! donate for it, it's also available fairly often in game too meaning 
that you don't miss out on any donation items, albeit that if you do donate 
money to the game you might get them sooner, which is a very fare system.


Hope you have fun with the game, feel free to add me as a friend (I'm dark 
on there), and any questions please also ask.


Beware the grue!

Dark.

2013-04-01 Thread Sarah Haake

Hi Dark,

yeah, I think this complexity will keep me playing too, it gets boring 
quickly when such a game is too simple or repetitive.


Besides, the help system there seems to be really good and can be reached 
from anywhere in the game, so it should be no problem to look something up 
when I need an information on something.


Best regards
Sarah

Re: [Audyssey] Puppet nightmares question

2013-04-01 Thread dark

Hi Sarah.

As I said, puppet nightmares is a complex game to get into, however the 
complexity is one thing that keeps you playing, since there are always new 
stratogies or ways of playing to disvoer and new things to refign, heck, 
even each enemy is unique. Go and talk to the npc called gregor in the 
moonlit graveyard and he'll take you through some of the basics of the game. 
Also note the help menue since you might want to reread several topics there 
to get the basics of the game.


Beware the Grue!

Re: [Audyssey] Puppet nightmares question

2013-04-01 Thread Sarah Haake

Hi Dark,

ok, thanks. I'll do that and see where it goes from there.

I actually ended up in a dungeon once already, but it was by accident 
because I didn't know where to go. But I saw the tables for fighting there, 
which look a bit complicated at first. But since I don't have a party yet, 
it was pointless so I exited again. But I hope I can get the hang of this 
when I get into it later.


Best regards
Sarah

Hi Sarah.

That is weerd, goodness knows what happened there. If you have finished that 
intro though, You need to go and talk to gregor then, you can find him on 
the help menue or by going to the world menue and hitting moonlit graveyard. 
He will take you through some of the intro to the game and give you your 
first quest.


Beware the grue!

2013-04-01 Thread Sarah Haake

Hi Dark,

I also found the links to continue the story in the introduction, no problem 
there. The thing is, that the story is actually over for the moment when 
this lesson where he says to click the arrows comes up, since you're already 
in the game with all the menues etc.


Yes, I noticed that the lesson can be closed.

Best regards
Sarah

Re: [Audyssey] Puppet nightmares question

Hi Sarah.

I believe this is probably a case of graphics labelling not matching the 
actual graphics, since while I never found the arrows, with supernova the 
links to actually continue the story, (they say next page I believe), were 
very easy to find since they were simply at the bottom of the text.


Also note all those little help messages from the toymaker have a link 
saying "close this lesson" under them that minimizes their text.


Hth.

Beware the grue!

Dark.

Hi Dark,

ok, thanks for the info.

I think the first text from the toymaker is a bit misleading then, since 
I'm already in the game and he tells me to continue with the story. But 
well, I'll try what you said then. The funny thing is, even the journal at 
this point tells me to click on the arrows I can't even find.


Regarding mouse over text, I think NVDA reads that pretty well if you're 
positioned on a button or link, so this should be no problem.


Thanks again and best regards
Sarah

Re: [Audyssey] Puppet nightmares question

2013-03-31 Thread dark

Hi Sarah.

if you've read the introduction explaining how you get to the gypsy caravan 
with ada and first meet the toymaker, you've already done the clicking on 
arrows, (they're labled next page I believe).


Once you actually get to the start of the game propper and have the usual 
interface with the camp menue, items, menue, town menue help menue etc and 
various options, you can start playing. To begin, you should get three soul 
puppets, a soccubus, a psyclopse and a sylph, go to the "creatures" part of 
the camp menue to find them, give then names and organize them into a party. 
Go and talk to gregor (you can find him under the help menue), to get your 
first quest, and I'd also recommend seeing if you can buy a troll egg from 
wily the scarecrow since trolls are healers and very usefull in battle.


if your ever stuck in the story or wonder where you need to go to next, 
check the "jurnal" option and read it, it'll tell you where to go.


also, note that in puppet nightmares the various information menues are 
always available. This is necessary since the game is! undoubtedly very 
complex, and you'll likely want to go back to the help menue and reread 
different concepts and ideas again, indeed some pages of the help menue such 
as that on how to unlock different sorts of soul puppets and when to do 
specific side quests you might want to keep checking.


Also, note that there is a lot of mouse over text in the game, especially in 
battles. I'm not sure how Nvda handle mouseovers, but you might want to make 
certain of that. in supernova I actually had to check the command to 
position the mouse pointer at the current curser position without! clicking 
a link so that I could go and read the text.


hth, any other questions, please ask, but also bare in mind Puppet 
nightmares, while a very fun game once you get into it and involved has a 
lot to learn, luckily your not expected to pick up everything in the game 
all at once.


All the best,

Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] Puppet nightmares question

2013-03-31 Thread Sarah Haake

Hi Dark,

first, I'm glad your arm is better and you can type again, at least a bit. 
And cool thing that your exerzises saved you here, a broken arm would have 
been not good at all.


And now, I have a puppet nightmares question too, which I sent first time 
when you couldn't type, so I'll try again now.


I started the game and got to the first page of the tutorial. The toymaker 
tells me to click the arrows to continue the story, but I can't find any 
arrows on the site. There is a grafic labled arrow in the tutorial text, but 
it doesn't seem possible to click this one. Since you wrote in the 
description on audiogames.net that there sometimes are hotspots in the text, 
I even tried to click on the word arrows in the tutorial text, but nothing.


I'm using Firefox and NVDA. Any help here would be great.

Thanks and best regards
Sarah

[Audyssey] Puppet nightmares question

2013-03-30 Thread dark
Hi. 


Well my left arm hasn't actually fallen off, and while still not exactly 
painless, I can at least prop it in a position where it is possible to type 
provided I take breaks. 

Rather amusingly, the hospital said they were amazed it wasn't! broken, and the 
principle reason it wasn't is that since I've been doing quite serious amounts 
of singing including half an hour's running and weights each morning, the 
amount of muscle around my elbow joint protected the bones, - nice to know 
I managed to raise my constitution score along with my strength :D. 

Anyway, speaking of stats I have been reading mails from the list ( since I 
could use the tab key, enter and arrows). Lisa I believe had a question 
regarding puppet nightmares. Since this is a morpg I have played rather 
extensively, it's probable I can answer. The interface in puppet nightmares 
isn't overly easy, but it is quite navicable if your familiar with your screen 
readers various functions, and everything in the game is! indeed labled, (the 
gm is pretty good on access, albeit I was a little irritated when he said that 
adding mor descriptions would only appeal to blind gamers). 

I have put some extra information about the interface on the puppet nightmares 
index page over at http://audiogames.net/db.php?id=Puppet+nightmares which may 
be helpful, other than that, any questions, please ask. 

All the best, 

Dark.

[Audyssey] Puppet nightmares question

2013-03-26 Thread Sarah Haake

Hi,

since Puppet Nightmares was a topic here quite a few times now and it sounds 
like a good game, I registered today to try it myself.


The problem is though, that I can't even get past the starting point. The 
toy maker in the tutorial says I should click the arrows to continue with 
the story. But I can't find any arrows to click anywhere on the site. I even 
tried the journal to see if it says where to go next, but it just says the 
same thing, to click some arrows I can't find.


I'm using Firefox with NVDA.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best regards
Sarah
