Re: [Audyssey] Question about graphics on cast aways
Nope, no keystroke to turn the sounds off. I just mute the entire laptop. Well, I think it's awsome that you did put graphics in the game, cause it opens up a whole new avenue for people in that sense. Now blind and sighted alike can both play cast aways and enjoy it all the same. And is their a keystroke to turn the sound off? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Question about graphics on cast aways
Yeah, that was pretty much how I felt about it too. Putting in the game's current level of graphics took far longer than I expected and I spent the whole time telling myself I'm wasting all this time and probably no one is going to even see this. lol! The good news is that your sighted friend should be fully able to play the game using sight alone. Being sighted myself, and having had a few sighted friends play the game, I usually play the game with all sounds turned off believe it or not. Accessible and sighted games seem to be um, organized differently. I can't really put my finger on the right word to describe it. The lack or presence of artwork isn't the only thing that separates them, so your friend is probably also trying to get used to those changes as well. Oh, I think I came up with an example that might work to describe what I was trying to say. If you took book written in Spanish, and translated each word individually into English for a friend, even though they could understand the words, the structure of the sentences would still be strange because Spanish and English use a different system. In that same way, adding artwork to an accessible game will still stand out as strange to a mainstream gamer. This isn't a big problem or anything, just something worth sharing in case anyone's interested. :) Okay will let her know. Well, I understand that considering it is supposed to be a game for the blind. Although it would be cool at least for some of my other fully sighted friends to be able to see people and stuff, but like you said graphics is probably last on the things to do list in cast aways. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

[Audyssey] Question about graphics on cast aways
Hi, I have a friend who wants to play cast aways. But she doesn’t use jaws or speech sofftware, I put the game on her computer and she can only see the terrain and the buildings, but she can’t see any people. Is this game audio only in that aspect? --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Question about graphics on cast aways
Correct. There are no visuals to represent the people within the game. Your friend should be able to read the messages along the top caption of the window, so I recommend having her maximize the window to give her the largest possible view of the text. In some cases with very long messages, she will not be able to view all of it. These are fine examples of more things I really should develop for sighted gamers, but on the list of things to add I have put graphics pretty low in terms of what is most important, haha.
