Hi all! After nearly a year in development, version 1.1 of the BGT engine is now available for download! It features the largest set of changes yet in its release history, most of which are features requested by end users. It includes mouse support, screen reader support, a pathfinder to make it easier when adding artificial intelligence to your game, improved Sapi support where you are now able to enumerate and change voices, and tons more. The change log is a bit too long to paste in an email to the list, so I invite those who are curious to go grab the new installer and have a look! Thanks to all of those who provided suggestions and ideas, bug reports and other general feedback over these two years. Without all of this, the BGT engine would not be what it is today. Thank you!

Re: [Audyssey] BGT Version 1.1 Released!
Hi aprone. I actually think you have indeed made an impact just in the games that you've created, sinse they've each offered something rather different to what was expected in audio before, whether that's the first online fps (something people have wanted ever sinse shades of doom was released ten years ago), not to mention mouse aiming, detailed Ai in controllable characters, An eco simulation (completely new for audio games), and mouse action in an arcade game. heck even towers of war is pretty unique. My only real issue in terms of the games you create, is that while the concept and ideas are great and distinctly unique, you seem to spend more time adding new concepts than content. For instance, castaways could've easily run to many more missions and job types even just with the gameplay structure that is already in place, indeed I'm extremely sorry that the game never got to the point where you could run an entire town, build a castle and have everyone from sculpters to embroiderers to pig farmers. The framework and rules of the game are there and it plays exceptionally well, but where as a game that could potentially run to hundreds of hours of content only runs for a few. the quality is great, but the quantity could certainly be improved upon. towers of war and daytona fall very much into the same catagory, and Temporal stil I believe is in beta phase as far as I could determine. I can't speak for Swamp sinse I've not tried that really yet, but thus far the only game which seems to be utterly complete according to it's concept, ie, which has enough content to fill out the great ideas, is Lunimals. Is this a cryticism? no, as I said the games are awsome, but perhaps it's a design point you could considder in the future. While I understand the point of having many projects on the go at once, indeed your output in number of games is pretty staggering! the disadvantage here is that some of your games end up feeling shorter than they ought to, which given the quality of the games themselves is quite a shame really.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT Version 1.1 Released!
Dark I completely agree. I was referring to the concepts over content, but I do agree with the impact thing too. It's just that the impact I've made is still worlds away from the community impact of BGT. I'll get there with time, but I'm fully aware of my current standings. :) If being totally honest, concepts have been my goal more than content, thus far. If the community is swarming with racing games, someone needs to jump in with a fighting game. In the same spirit, when I arrived I adopted a programming goal that's a bit different than most. That has led to some interesting debates and perhaps even arguments at times, but the variety is important. If everyone did things how I do them, it would be just as bad as if no one did. It's all about finding the path least traveled and exploiting it for all of its unique benefits. In this community I've chosen the path of the rapid development guy who is pushing new concepts. While many rightfully choose to hold out for quality, I race to supply the community with quantity, in the number of games and applications I mean. Instead of 1 title per year, it is quite a few. When it comes to game concepts vs content, I am choosing to sacrifice longer games in favor of getting more ideas out. I could be mistaken, but I'm hoping that each new concept I demonstrate adds to the overall bank of ideas that other developers are pulling from. Perhaps Lunimals has already started some other developer working on his own game in the sim genre, or maybe Swamp is going to launch a wave of mouse driven games. I'm doing my best to push us as far away as possible from the audiogames = space invaders mentality that was clearly pretty prevalent at some point before my time here. :) If I reach a point where I feel new concepts are no longer beneficial, I'll probably switch gears. Isf game development continues to grow as rapidly as it has been, I'll probably switch out of the rapid game development approach. If I'd arrived to find a community full of rapid prototypers you would have been dealing with Aprone, the guy who pushes for higher quality standards. Wow I just realized how long this message probably is! I'm going to just keep filling in where I think the community needs attention, and I do plan to tackle hardware as soon as I can. The prices of devices, and the lack of new ones being developed, is ridiculous! If I'm at all able, I plan to have super cheap Aprone-built equipment to replace things like Braille displays, embossers, and tactile displays. And then, of course, I hope others will follow along behind me advancing it even more. Dude I wrote like 4 long paragraphs! Whoops, I didn't meant to hijack Phillip's BGT thread. In conclusion, Yay BGT 1.1, woo hoo! :D Hi aprone. I actually think you have indeed made an impact just in the games that you've created, sinse they've each offered something rather different to what was expected in audio before, whether that's the first online fps (something people have wanted ever sinse shades of doom was released ten years ago), not to mention mouse aiming, detailed Ai in controllable characters, An eco simulation (completely new for audio games), and mouse action in an arcade game. heck even towers of war is pretty unique.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT Version 1.1 Released!
Hi Philip, That was my impression when I spoke to Dolphin. They wouldn't tell me squot about their API without me signing an NDA agreement which I'm still waiting to recieve in the mail. At this point if Dolphin doesn't begin cooperating I'm just going to tell them where to stick their screen reader and API.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT Version 1.1 Released!
well tom, if you can or someone can make a map/script for the apps in question for dolphin then you can put those out with the game. It will mean you will need dolphin software or someone would have to make it for you but maybe thats the way. Hi Philip, That was my impression when I spoke to Dolphin. They wouldn't tell me squot about their API without me signing an NDA agreement which I'm still waiting to recieve in the mail. At this point if Dolphin doesn't begin cooperating I'm just going to tell them where to stick their screen reader and API. If SuperNova customers want their screen reader supported they are going to have to begin banging down Dolphin's door for some kind of access to their API. On 11/16/11, Philip Bennefall phi...@blastbay.com wrote: Hi Shane, Thanks for the offer! Though doesn't Dolphin want you to sign a non-disclosure agreement to use the dll?

Re: [Audyssey] BGT Version 1.1 Released!
Hi Philip this is great! When my phd is done, i'll start on bgt, so it's awsome to here about the changelog. I'm especially pleased with the sapi changes, sinse eventually I'd love to write an rpg probably using sapi, though of course being as I won't even start coding for another 10 months or so, there will probably be major changes too :D. Just one question, have you updated any of the tutorials yet? I've been reading through the textual ones just to wrap my brain around some of the concepts (and have to actually resist the urge to start playing sinse I know if I start I won't stop), but with these pathfinder ai to output considdering that several of these sound pretty major changes and ones I'll want to use myself in games, it'd be nice to have them explained at a newby level with as much care as the rest of the tutorial.

Hi all! After nearly a year in development, version 1.1 of the BGT engine is now available for download!

It includes mouse support, screen reader support, a pathfinder to make it easier when adding artificial intelligence to your game, improved Sapi support where you are now able to enumerate and change voices, and tons more.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT Version 1.1 Released!
Hi Dark, I'm pleased to hear of your prioritizing dilemma! Smirk. Nah but seriously, I'm really glad you like the new stuff. There is indeed a new tutorial about pathfinding in particular, written by a good friend of mine. He did an excellent job with it, in my opinion. It's found in the tutorials section along with the others. While it's not quite for beginners, meaning you do need to know the language a bit before attempting to work with it, it still explains things from the ground up.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT Version 1.1 Released!
Hello Kai, I have plans to implement joystick support, for sure. It just didn't make it into this release, because I felt that it needed to be released as quickly as possible due to the many bugfixes, and of course also the new features that people were waiting for. It'll happen though, don't worry. Now that I have a check for updates option in the program group, I will be able to release smaller updates more frequently rather than one huge release once or twice a year.

Re: [Audyssey] BGT Version 1.1 Released!
Hi Philip. When bgt was first released I began examining the program and language, but quickly realized that the only way to get good at it would be to treat it like learning an instrument or a new sport, spend some time every day practicing. currently, I'm already! doing that with my phd thesis, and indeed with my singing, and the last thing I would want is a situation where I make a half hearted attempt on bgt and give up when really it'd just take a litle more time and patience to learn, hence my decision. Even if (as seems likely), I'll be heading off to music school when I've done my phd I should stil have more time, and certainly the demands of singing and performing aren't the same as those of working in a very academic subject like philosophy. so the real point of this is to say, I look forward to having a play with the thing, and I'm glad there are tutorials available. Ai was one thing I haven't yet got a conception of in computer terms, but sinse I'd like to eventually develope a game with a complex combat system, it's something I'm going to have to master.

It includes mouse support, screen reader support, a pathfinder to make it easier when adding artificial intelligence to your game, improved Sapi support where you are now able to enumerate and change voices, and tons more. The change log is a bit too long to paste in an email to the list, so I invite those who are curious to go grab the new installer and have a look! Thanks to all of those who provided suggestions and ideas, bug reports and other general feedback over these two years. Without all of this, the BGT engine would not be what it is today. Thank you!
