Re: [Audyssey] Monty penalties.
Hi all, Dark was talking about playing a non-accessible remake of Montezuma's Revenge not the accessible games that USA Games is producing.As it happens I am hoping above hope Alpha 2 will be out in the next 30 to 60 days. I've got a voice acter doing the audio naration of the game as well as I am doing a massive debug on the engine. I've got allot to go, but it is coming along pretty well. Allot depends on how long it takes to make the new audio naration and get various other things working such as game controller support. aaron danvers-jukes wrote: no, not the usa games version. dark said something about a remake. while i am waiting for the usa games version, i want to play this said remake. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Monty penalties.
Hi Aaron, Well, once Montezuma's Revenge is released I suspect USA Games will produce more side scrollers based on the Monty engine as all the really hard work is done. Just need to introduce changes for megaman, double dragon, castlevania, or whatever side scroller we pick to do. The basic infastructure though would be in place for more side scroller production. aaron danvers-jukes wrote: ah... buyt i've been trained in sidescrollers. i wana try these remakes. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Monty penalties.
Hi Nicol, There is a saying here in the USA, you bit the big one, which is a way of saying you died or was killed in a big or spectacular way. It is commonly used in our books, tv shows, and even some songs use it that way. An example is there is a Christian rock band called News Boys who made a silly song called Breakfast in Hell.They said something like when the toast is burned, and the milkh has turned, and Captain crunch waves fairwell. When the big one finds you may this song remind you there is no breakfast in hell. Well, they meant by the big one you died, and went to hell, and the rest of it is self-explanitory.

Re: [Audyssey] Monty penalties.
Hi Dark, The original and the USA Games version of Montezuma's Revenge is all about memory as well as skill. Gems will always be in their own locations. Yeah they will be in out of the way places, and as you play it will be up to you to figure out where all of them are located. Jumping is much easier than in the Alchemy demo and the Alpha 1 demo, but that doesn't mean the game itself is any easier. Monsters move fast, and your actions have to be quick, especially on insane, to keep from being skull, snake, or spider chow. Dark wrote: H, my only minor thought with that idea is that if the Gems and gold are hidden in out of the way places (as in original Monti), finding them all might be a bit frustrating if they'd vanish when you died, how would you know when you'd collected all of them? While I like the penalties idea for competition, perhaps having it exclusive to a higher difficulty or a separate mode might help in bonus collecting. Btw, when I heard you were making the game I recently went and tried the original (or at least, an extremely faithful Pc remake), and it actually sounds as if your adding lots of stuff to the game as well as making it accessible. i just hope jumping over monster is slightly easier, I found the original extremely frustrating for this ;D. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Monty penalties.
Glad you like the idea. Personally, I'm not all that interested in score, but I do like to find everything there is to find in a game and explore every passageway (Metroid style). Btw, By Original Monti I was thinking of the 1980's atari game (it's graffic's are simple enough for me to cope with), I haven't played the Alchemy demo or alpher 1 version yet. Sorry if this wasn't clear, and sorry for discussing main stream non-audio games here.

Re: [Audyssey] Monty penalties.
Hi Charles, That is doable. Actually, what you loose could depend on the difficulty level in question. On Easy you loose nothing hense easy. As you increase difficulty a little more of your treasure goes bye bye along with that awesome score you were trying to get. Although, this would have to not apply to bonus rounds which don't really count against your lives counter.

Re: [Audyssey] Monty penalties.
Hi Nicol, While it is true you won't be buying things with the gold and gems and other treasures you find those are the very purpose of playing the game to hunt for treasure. Losing it you will have to collect as much gold/gems as you can find to help improve your score. If you loose your gems and gold your score will drop, and for those doing online competitions for first place it will hurt his or her chances of being a top person on the score boards. Nicol Oosthuizen wrote: NB: This email and its contents are subject to our email legal notice which can be viewed at http://www.sars.gov.za/Email_Disclaimer.pdf I have no problem with it, thom. I'm used to my gold to go back to 0 if I die in self destruct or if I go to the next level in self destruct so its something I'm used to by now. IN monty you can't buy anything with the gold or gems, but in self destruct you do. So If your gold wasn't set to 0 at the next level in self destruct it would be easier to buy more ammunition and health and blast all those urchins at once and be able to have enough gold for the teleporter, so its not really such a big loss if your gold and gems is set to 0 in monty if you die. ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] Monty penalties.
Hi Dark, Well, the purpose in Montezuma's Revenge is to collect all the treasure you can find and get before you either complete the game or die. Oh, I am glad you got the 80's classic. I haven't played that version in more years than I can remember. Was kind of a cool game though. My version is more or less like Montezuma's Revenge from the 80's but with some unique twists and other miner changes. The levels aren't exactly layed out the same, but other than that hey it has the basic game play and concepts. ___ Gamers mailing list ..
