Re: [Audyssey] James North?
It'd be sheer luck if you could. Its not accessible at all. Killing the bigger monsters especially would be impossible. You might be able to get a few lucky shots in here and there but I doubt it'd hold. It'd be like walking around in Halo with the trigger held down. I'd love to see an accessible version of Gears of War though. For those that don't know, Gears of War is a game that came out a year or so back for the PC, XBox360 and I think maybe the ps3, though I'm not entirely certain. Basically the human race has expanded into space and has terraformed and colonized other planets. One of the planets they hit, however, apparently didn't appreciate being colonized. These monsters of all shapes and sizes, called the locust hoard, come bursting up from the ground, and start destroying cities and waging war on humanity. For a while we've got the upper hand, but then they pull out all the stops and the game kind of starts you off after humanity's pretty much been totally decimated. Basically you play as this agent guy that's supposed to be humanity's last hope. Some of the monsters in that game are freaking amazing. I remember listening to my brother fighting this gigantic armored spider. And by gigantic I mean somewhere in the range of 15 feet tall, maybe bigger, absolutely huge in diameter, and so well armored that if I remember right, its only vulnerable spot was its underbelly. I love strategic elements like this, since you can't just open up on full auto and hope to defeat it. I really hope we can see something like this come to the Accessible Games community sometime in the future. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
Yeah. Gears of war would be amasing. But I don't think it would be possable to make so big advanced games... Gears of war is amasing. It comes out for the pc, and I'll see if it's playable. I don't have a XBox, so I have only tried it once. I think some of it is playable, because you can hit the monsters with your weapons.

Hi, Yes, James North was the original creater of ESP Raceway. I have since taken it over, renamed it USA Raceway, and am rewriting the game from scratch.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
Hi, Well, I couldn't obtain Max because James wanted to hold onto the game and the engine he was creating for it. I am not sure why, but as it turned out I am glad I didn't take it over. I am already pretty busy involved finishing two of his games as it is. As for future FPS titles I have several of those scheduled for future production once I can get away from the Alchemy stuff.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
Hi, Actually, James North gave me control of Raceway and Montezuma's Revenge for several reasons. He no longer had the time to work on them, he was sick and tired of the pressure from the comunity, and he knew I was compitent enough to complete them. Bottom line, he wanted an easy out, and I was his way out of the hole he put himself in. However, in regards to the above mentioned games I have gone above and beyond merely completing them, but have worked hard to make them the best quality games I can make them. Montezuma's Revenge has come along way from conception to a really good remake of the classic Atari game.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
I personally think James took alot of crap on list. Did we get some good games? Hell yes we did! Pinmball, Change Reaction, Dyno man, Monkey Biz [and I'm camper bob btw] There are a few others he planned and the best part is he's keeping them alive by selling them to Tom. I really wish folks could find a better point.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
Hi Charles, Yes. James North was very much an inovater and driving force in this comunity a few years ago. His games like ESP Pinball was the first accessible pinball game, Monkey Business was the first FPS game for the blind, DinoMan was a cool rendition of Pacman, Aliens In the Outback was a cool Space invaders style game, and he created allot of fun and enjoyable games that are still well liked today. It's not completely accurate to say he created worthless games. Yes, it is true Raceway and Montezuma's Revenge were far from his earlier works, but perhaps if he had taken more time with them and completed them they might have turned out as good as his earlier projects. We will never know though, because he quit in March 2006.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
I aggree, I would have been happy with that. But james quit the list a bit before this happened. After which there was almost no news on what he was doing, and what he was doing. Pree orders and such as well as time lines and releases piled up for no reason at least to the outside anyway. Even I was hoping to get at least something of what I was hoping would be real cool. And the community waited I think for at least 2 or more years, and still nothing. But I guess we learn from mistake.

Re: [Audyssey] James North.
Hi, I'm not going to head down this road again because it will probably get me kicked off list. I do feel the need to say, however, that it was a great deal of how he was treated by his customers that contributed to his leaving. He has some of the best games to date, and he definitely whether they admit it or not had inspiration on a lot of the developers out there today.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
Hi Lisa, In the final days of Alchemy James mentioned to me that he was giving up, because he was tired of the pressure of dealing with the comunity. His problem was that he took preorders and the comunity wanted immediate results, a reasonable time frame for release on the games, and he was busy dealing with his family issues etc. He had allot going on in his private life that he refused to tell the comunity, and so they hounded him day and night until he just quit. I have the proof on cd he was really working on the games, but he was months behind on anything that looked like a final release for Raceway or Montezuma's Revenge. He clamed he was unable to work on the games do to work, family issues, etc and so he was both unable and unwilling to work on the games in the time frame most gamers wanted him to. If he would have been more forth coming about his personal issues, not taken preorders, a few other bad mistakes I think the comunity would have left him alone or slackened off while he worked on the games on his own terms and time available.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
Hi Che, I don't know if you were around when ESP was still developing games, but James North seamed to be a completely different person back then. Actually, when James North was still running ESP his games were pretty good quality and prices were reasonable. He was the original author of games like Monkey Business, Aliens In The Outback, ESP Pinball Classic, Dinaman, Shellshock, ESP Woopasss, and so on. He turned control of ESP over to Josh which is now Draconis Entertainment. In 2004 James North started Alchemy Game studios, and that is when the current troubles began. I will not go over all the bad publicity that James and Alchemy created, but I think your basing your opinion soully on his later actions rather than weighing against the good he did in this comunity as well. Basically, James North has sort of become a Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hide kind of person. There is the James we knew before, and the James we remember now. I agree with everyone that we are better off without him after seeing what he did while running Alchemy. Though, I do remember and respect the work he did before all of this came about.

Re: [Audyssey] James North?
Hi Jake, As far as I am aware no one has maintained contact with him after he left the accessible game community. If they have it was privately. A few months back I attempted to email him a question about his billing records, and all email addresses bounced so apparently he has changed them, and does not want to be contacted by us. Cheers.
