[Audyssey] browser empire game, rise of chaos

2014-11-23 Thread dark
Hi. 

This was one that someone mentioned on the audiogames.net forum a while ago. 
I've given it a try, but I confess it's not really my thing, still it's very 
accessible. 

You choose from one of a number of races with different bonuses, build an 
empire, explore land, develop technology, hier troops and fight other players. 
I will confess after reading the world of Ice and Fire by George R r Martin, I 
was looking for a game with that sort of feeling, a people exploring a vivid 
and savage world fighting the environment and their enemies with unexpected 
turns and events, monsters and wild lands to explore, not just another "who can 
grind the fastest" type of affair just like all the hundreds of other games of 
this type. 

Still, if people want something purely for the stratogy this one might be 
interesting, particularly sinse you follow your empire's development through 
different ages, it just wasn't exactly what I wante d(though I don't think I've 
ever seen an accessible game that really was).

There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast and 
wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars than even the 
archmaesters of the citadel can dream.

Hi Emily.

I enjoyed KoL, but I found that the turn limit, not to mention irrationality 
of the puzzles was a real pest sometimes, indeed I played very seriously for 
a couple of months and spent quite a bit of money getting some fun items, 
but I just found it too hard to log in each day to play a turtle tamer or 
seal clubber or whatever in a random kingdom of drunken hippies and the 
like. I wanted something a little more serious and meaningful, and something 
I didn't feel I needed the wiki so often for.


All the best,

Dark.

Hi Anouk.

What is Aegis? I thought I knew and had played most browser rpgs, though I 
don't recognize that one.


I agree with you about KoL, I got a little sick of needing to use the wiki 
so much, I also didn't like the fact that once the donation item was gone 
for a month,  well tough luck! I don't mind games with a monthly 
subscription if the game is good, or with items available to buy, but it 
actually seemed quite a wasteful bit of game design to go to the trouble of 
programming new items with interesting effects and often access to new areas 
then only offer them once. Quite different from Puppet nightmares and the 
way that game recycles it's monthly items.


All the best,

Dark.

Hi Anouk.

Unfortunately I've run into severe trouble with Astro alaxy, sinse I started 
trying to make my own way in the galaxy after finishing the tutorial but 
kept sending my ships out to explore signals or do combat missions and then 
not find anything, I'm a little unsure of where to go or how to progress 
from here, actually I'd like to post on the forum but there is an annoyingly 
inaccessible antispam.


I'll definitely give it another go though.

glad you like rise of chaos, as I said personal.y there just wasn't enough 
interest for me in the number crunching, I wanted propper exploring just 
like in ice and fire.


I do love the series, and have all the audios read by Roy Defreese as you 
said, including the history and background "world of ice and fire" that I 
just finished, which was awsome, --- albiet probably not everyone's cup of 
tea sinse I know not everyone has quite as inexhaustable an appetite for 
background information about the world and it's people's as I do.


All the best,

Dark.

Hi, I have never heard of puppet nightmares, what is that?
Aegis (it used to be called differently in the past i forgot its original 
title) is a sort of empire building game where you start with a small piece of 
land and you have to make more of it while feeding your population/keeping it 
happy and defending your lands. It works with resources and you build buildings 
in order to creat them and for example to be able to get different kind of 
trained soldiers. You also build things like walls to defend your land. You can 
become part of a clan.
I am not sure if it is even around anymore a quick google search does not seem

Re: [Audyssey] browser empire game, rise of chaos

2014-11-28 Thread dark

Hi Anouk.

I've not heard of Eagis specifically, but there are a lot of those styles of 
games around. Personally I never felt that interested sinse to me, fighting 
and exploring the environment to protect your population is much more 
interesting than watching a bunch of static timers and playing who can grind 
the fastest against other human players,  then again I'm much more a 
single player sort of bod anyway.


Puppet nightmares is a browser based game, sort of like a dark and twisted 
version of Pokemon.dark and slightly adult version of Pokemon.


You collect, control and breed magical creatures called soul puppets, going 
through a story about a child in germany who has lost his/her brother and 
finds that they were involved with a certainly very dark and magical game.


The game is slightly adult (it has for example a brothel where soul puppets 
may breed and lay egs to produce new ones), and also horribly complex.


You control three puppets at once and usually fight parties of three 
enemies, each can have their own actions, with different moves, diciplins 
etc, in addition each has equipment, elemental weaknesses and all sorts of 
other complexity.


The only really major issue with the game is that there isn't much by way of 
explanitory text, the battles, though mechanically very complex all have 
descriptions like "jo uses wind hammer on jane for 280 damage" and though 
there are lots of npcs to talk to and do quests for, you just get their 
dialogue and not the descriptions.


It's a game where though the rules and mechanics are all accessible, some of 
the atmosphere is imho a bit lost. Still, it is free to play although it has 
a very fare system of donation currency and is definitely one if you like 
tactical turn based battling and a slightly disturbing story.


I'd recommend you look at 
http://www.audiogames.net/db.php?id=Puppet+nightmares sinse the web pages 
require some navigation having hotspots, mouseovers and links, although 
everything in the game is labeled and accessible, it just helps to know your 
screen readers' web navigation tools to speed up looking through headings, 
buttons, mouseovers etc.


Hth.

All the best,

Dark.

Hi Dark, Thanks for that. I dont mind a game being adult  (although there is a 
difference between adult/dark themes and just being profane for the sake of it).
I will certainly try this one out.
I also in general like  singleplayer games better but you have to work with 
what is available.
