on

www.liamerven.com, i found the blind recaurces (wrong spelling from me

there) section. and it said about audiogames.net:
audiogames.net is a

community with a lot of annoying 13 year olds!
what the hell is he on

about? lol.
i know this isn't game related at all. just thought i'd post

it.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. He also writes that our games are

over-priced. Again, his opinion.

2005-08-09 15:02:40

I

happen to think the same thing. Bavisoft games cost too much. And

Chillingham II never comes out. No news, no updates, whatever. I don't

happen to think GMA Games is the best place to go when the dumb people

haven't updated their site since November.

Mike,

We appreciate your comments. Chillingham II is being worked on.

Bavisoft has always kept progress under wraps until the games are ready to

be shipped. Of course you, too, are entitled to your opinion about our game

prices. There will always be some people who think something costs too much,

that just means their personal desire for the product isn't as high.  I am

confused as to your concern about Chillingham II's progress if you think

the games cost to much anyways.

Regards.

I think Mike's message does more to prove Liam right.

It will

likely be the same price as Chillingham. There will probably be a package

discount available as well. Of course this isn't definite, just a guess on

my part.

Oh.

Just a question, are you the guy who owns bavisoft?

Nope. Just an employee.

think about about the sighted games, and how much they cost. Some of them

probably cost $60. Be gratefull that accessible games don't cost that

much.

DB

2005-08-10 04:01:07

Yes,

but those games that cost $60 are much, much more complex and have much

higher replay value than any accesible game ever made.

hello

bavisoft,
I just wanted to know, is bavisoft shared between more than one

guy, I mean, there are the voyce actors and stuf ,but isn't it true that

only jef gibben does the writing [programming]?
thank you
regards
big y

2005-08-10 20:55:45

Big y,

Jeff does the majority of the programming. There are a few that

help with the programming. Other people still are involved in the other

areas of the company such as finance, shipping, marketing and tech support

for example.

2005-08-11 14:39:56

Hi,

Well who are you, Jeff?

Mike,

I am not Jeff. I am just a Bavisoft representative here to answer

questions and contribute.

2005-08-15 20:56:42

Hi.

I'll really don't hope Chillingham 2 is as Chillingham 1. I

mean, it's too easy and too borring to select where I shall go from a

simply menu. I think it's really a good game, but I don't like the menus.

I wish Chillingham 2 comes with a lot of more cool design sutch as walk to

the wanted place, select weapons with the number keys, speak to a person by

go to her or him and press a key to speak and so. Not so many menus. If

it's not menus, I think it will do the game really more cool. What do you

think guys?
If you want some ideas to make a cool design like some of the

newest games, just ask me. I know some of them.

Regards Soeren.

2005-08-15 22:47:38

Soeren,

I hate to dissappoint, but the majority of our customers desire

the menu interface for navigation. We know that we cannot please everyone.

We could introduce some hot keys that would be in addition to the menus for

some of the tasks.

2005-08-15 23:07:40

how

ever, as farr on til now, bavisoft's games wher not first person so

...
that kind of games are important to the audio games world as much maby

as the first person arcade stile games
thanks
big y

2005-08-15 23:10:54

big y,

You are right, there are many different types of games each with

their own fan base. some people like the first person immersion, some like

the arcade, some like puzzles, etc... It is all everyone's personal taste.

It is good that there are a number of games out there so that everyone can

find something they enjoy.

2005-08-26 14:46:14

Mike:

It is true that accessible games lack the production value of

mainstream games. I used to play mainstream games prior to my sight loss.

Howebver mainstream companies have often had 10 years or more experience, a

total team of a hundred or more people and huge budgets. They also regularly

sell a million or more games.

This difference of scale is the critical

factor. There are two options available:
First convince mainstream

companies to develop with us in mind
Second let the accessible games market

develop and hopefully gain in complexity and size over time.

In either

case the answer is to either help or back off. The mainstream market has

been around since the 80's and has a much wider potential audience.

Complaining will not help.

I respect a person's right to express an

opinion, however expression of opinion has to be in a non-destructive way

and with sensible comments. If you state what's wrong and don't suggest

possible solutions that's just whining in my opinion.

Exactly! And just out of curiosity, are there anymore games planned from

Bavisoft after Chillingham 2 is released? And I'm curious if Jeff does any

of the voice acting. I know Justin from BSC and Liam from L-works have

voiced their own games, so I'm just curious if Bavisoft's the same. I'm

always curious about the voice actors in a game when I play it, 'cuz I like

to research what other work they've done in that field.

But wait, what's that? A transport! Saved am I! Hark, over here! Hey nonny non, please help!

2005-09-23 00:34:24

Bryan.

To answer your questions... yes to all.

Bavisoft will

continue to produce games after Chillingham 2. We have a lot of ideas, some

of which we hope to make it past the storyboard stage.

Jeff does do one

character in each game, I won't say which ones.  I suppose it is kind of

like a signature for him.

2005-09-23 08:44:21

For the

control scheme would it be possible to take a leaf out of the very early

mainstream RPG games? I mean have turn options which go to the 4 compass

points, and forward. In other words if you were in a room facing north and

wanted to leave south you would press left twice then forward? You could

have hotkeys for use and get, and this would provide more immersion without

creating very complicated control systems.

Perhaps add a "jump to"

function so you can go to any other location you've already been to without

traversing the intervening rooms in case you get lost...

hi bavisoft,

which voice are you then, smiles
will chillingham 2 be out

htis year as planned or not?
regards, will

2005-09-23 12:54:59

cx2... thanks for the ideas. We have been thinking about adding the idea of

hot-keys to our menu interface.

Will... I am not a voice in any of the

games. Chillingham 2 is still being worked on, we have no anticipated

release date.
