Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Hi Ishan, To be honest I have never heard of any audio game named Scary Land. So as I have never heard of it I can't answer any questions about it. All I can say is since there has been no discussion of such a game here on Audyssey or on the Audio Games Forum that would be the reason it is not on audiogames.net. It is pretty much an unknown for all intents and purposes. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Hi ishen. Empires and dungeons is not accessible. There was a campaign to try and make the sequel accessible, but it didn't work out, so thus far the only accessible game from nielsbauer are the smugglers series. I have no idea about a game called scary land, I've never heard of such a thing, though bare in mind quite often what the mainstream graphics using public call an audio game doesn't necessarily mean an audio game, for example I once saw dance dance revolution called an audio game because of the dance tracks despite the fact that the instructions on where to touch the controls with your feet are all on screen graphical ones.

Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Hi Dark, Yes, you're right that they are not accessible unfortunately. However, a dear friend and I spent two weeks in Winter doing a massive Myst marathon and solved the first game. :) To say we were enthralled with the world and its surreal strangeness would be an understatement. The detail, thought and depth which was put into this game is still amazing to me even today. It is definitely a classic. As for actual mechanics of the game, there were some clones which came out around that time as well, which I also played, but none had quite the same depth as Myst. Two other games that come to mind are Amber and Shivers. Both of these are in the mystery / mild horror genre so as I said, really what was similar about them was just the game mechanics of movement / exploration etc. Anyway, I actually have entertained the idea on more than one occasion, of creating an accessible version of something close to Myst so perhaps that may happen one day. It would certainly be quite an undertaking for sure… Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Hi Tom. I'd totally agree that the first person perspective is common to both and whether something is an adventure or not depends upon what the character does, indeed the chief reason I created the first person adventure genre is that I looked around and saw a huge number of games that had a first person perspective, but played far slower than most shooters and were based on puzzles, environmental adaptations or atmosphere such as pappasangre and blindside on Ios or Sarah and terraformers on pc, hence why I thought a new genre category was needed.

Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Hi Dark, Fair enough. Although in my humble opinion first-person shooter and first-person adventure game are synonymous with each other.

Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Hi Cara, An interesting question. Myself I more or less assumed a first-person shooter and a first-person adventure game were one and the same thing with the only difference being that a shooter is more combat oriented where an adventure game more puzzle oriented. By my definition a first-person game would allow the player to move 360 degrees, or the cardinal directions of north, south, east, and west at the least. I will confess I am not familiar with the Mist series of games you speak of so can only formulate an opinion based on what you said below. In my opinion they would not fit the definition of first-person in my point of view, but that is only because I can not in fairness compare the games firsthand to my definition and concept of first-person.

Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
As far as I know there were a series of adventure games, some with i believe role playing element which as Kara said used a combination of still images and text. They've recieved particular priase for their stories I believe including published novelizations and books set in the same universe, or at least I recall an author I met telling me about such, though that was quite a while ago so I might've got the wrong end of the stick. Not accessible unfortunately, or at least I've never heard of such, though as I said I've only really heard the names and praise for the story, I don't know much else about the series. All the best, DArk. 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. - Original Message - From: "Gmail" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Saturday, May 02, 2015 3:13 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.

Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Interesting points. I wonder if the 360 degree view is really a requirement for a first person adventure then. Many of the Myst series of adventure games are definitely first person perspective but do not have 360 degree rotation / view in the game. I.E. You may turn right or left and then a different still image will be shown. So the degree of rotation really depends on what scenes are available from any particular vantage point in the game. There is certainly not anywhere near a 360 degree view though, even when many scenes are available. As you may know, the Myst series of games are most definitely adventure type games rather than shooters as there is actually no combat at all in them, in favor of exploration / puzzle-solving / mystery solving. I personally equate a 360 degree view with first person shooters rather than adventure games. So is 360 degree view really a requirement for a first person adventure? Great topic! :) Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Hi Josh. With respect I wouldn't say alteraeon is first person either, sinse even with the awsome soundpack it's still a mud with your location and position dictated by text ad your chief interactions being real time interactions with in game events, rather than turning, targeting and evading as in a first person game. also, though the differences between adventures and rpgs are harder to define, I'd personally say Alteraeon is definitely an rpg with it's stats, classes, turn based combat etc, though it certainly has a good amount of story, quests, quest items and exploring. Beware the Grue! Dark. 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. - Original Message - From: "Josh K" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Friday, May 01, 2015 5:18 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games. yes try alter aeon with the mush z client. lots of fun! follow me on twitter @joshknnd1982 On 5/1/2015 8:03 AM, ishan dhami wrote: Hi everyone.

There really aren't that many puzzles though beyond the one at the end of the game.

Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Hi Dark, Actually, to be more accurate first-person means that the game is written from a first-person perspective be it visual or audio. However, you are also correct in saying it offers 360 degrees of movement as apposed to a 2d left/right and up/down environment. Cheers!

Hi Ishan, There aren't many but there are a few first-person adventures that are accessible. The first is Monkey Business by Draconis Entertainment. The second is Shades of Doom by GMA Games.

Re: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
Hi Ishen. Descent into madness isn't first person adventure, the "first person" bit means 360 degree movement. I'm actually a bit surprised you come on here and ask when first person adventure games is a genre on audiogames.net (one I just added myself, indeed if I were suspicious I would wonder if your just asking to be contrary after seeing the genre). For a list just go to audiogames.net, use the search games list and choose first person adventures in the second dropdown box (the one for game genres). Dark. 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. - Original Message - From: "ishan dhami" To: Sent: Friday, May 01, 2015 1:03 PM Subject: [Audyssey] first person adventure games.
