Well, if your going to be making a game, as i said in the other topic, I'd love to see an audio rpg or stratogy game, but they might be slightly hard to program. For myself, I love exploring different environments and plots most in games, thus I really enjoyed SHades of doom, Monkey business Superliam and Tarzan Jr (even though that one was slightly easy).

then again it depends on my mood, I do sometimes like a quick blast on something like Alien outback, and at other times I play something a bit more sedate such as Jim kitchen's golf game.

I think in general just as long as it does something different from what's been done before, eg, it isn't yet another audio space invaders it'll or be good ;D.

No offence to our devs, , Judgement day Troopanum 2 and Alien outback are all great games, but when there are perhaps only about 50 audio games in circulation it does seem a bit strange that a fifth of them are space invaders games.

well, the knds of games i like are sci fi, eg shades of doom vip- and doom sighted
i also like fantasy games such as myths and monsters and magic. One game in this style i liked was a ps1 game called pandemonium.
where you have to navigate 3 bosses spread out over 18 very hard and fun levels encountering a number of odd creatures all of whom have it in for you.
i have recently using wavepad recorded seveal sounds from said game and would be happy to share a few for this game.
3 inparticular are weapon spells, one is ice which freezes your appoinant so you can smash him, another is a pulverise spell which obliterates your enemy, and the third, my personal favorite is a bright green shrink ray which shrinks your enemy so you can squash them.
i also have a number of enemy sounds and if you would like any of them for your game either e-mail me by using the e-mail link or find me on skipe.
my skipe name is
o.b.s.i.d.i.a.n._.k.n.i.g.h.t.
just remove the periods and you've got it.
note, e-mail me first before adding me if you have skipe or i may delet you by mistake.

i am thinking of starting my own website and uploading the entire folder up there for public use, but i don't quite know howto start off ceating a website.
can anyone give me some pointers?
hth

Now I'm hesitating a bit... I want to create a nice audiogame, just like the others out there. But I also want to create a game that is just for fun, so without scoresystems and lives which you can loose.

Personally Davy, score systems don't really matter to me all that much in games, even something like Troopanum or Pipe 2, I play mostly to get all the enemies and experiences of the game and of course get to the ending. This is why I liked Superliamd and shades so much, sinse the scores really didn't matter.

as to lives though, I think my favourite live system is the one employed in Mega man games. You have three or five lives to complete a level, and once they're gone you need to start that level again, but if you finish the level, the game is saved and you won't need to finish that level again (and sinse some of the Mm games have pretty hard levels, you certainly wouldn't want to do them again!). this way you have challenge and a penalty if you lose, but don't have to replay the entire game from the beginning every time.

Archer, the Dkc games certainly are cool, I think the first is my favourite for gameplay, but the 2nd had by far the best music! the environments in both games also rocked! i loved the way you had to use both charactors in consort, like switching to Diddy before you got in a cannon so that you'd fly further.

speaking of game environments, I always like audio games that use a wide variety of sounds and effects to create different environments (like monkey business or superliam). it really gives you a sense that your on a journey, not just playing a game, so maybe that's something you ought to think about Davy.

And another question: Side scroller or "face forward"? The great adventage of side scrollers is that they're easier to code, because you only have to worry about right and left (front and back). I guess a "Face forward" is more realistic.

And that little disclaimer again: I'm an absolute beginner, so this game is going to be some kind of learning-project.

well, i thinmk that it should be a side scrollers. I am a great fan of side scrollers and feel there should be more.
if you need a voice actor i would like to volenteer, as i have some experience in this field as i do voices for some of my mods.
just drop me a line with a script and i'd be happy to try out a few voices for the char.

Hmmm, what's this impossible business? that sounds interesting. Is the game similar to the Canoe stage of Hunter?

While games where you have to dodge or quickly react to objects coming at you in sterrio are entertaining, and certainly fun for a quick blast, there are a fair few of those around at the moment, so a litle more information about what this game has to offer would be good.

If you need an extra voice actor, i'm also available. I do quite a few things on stage, and sing fairly seriously, so am used to working with  a script. just let me know what you need doing.

As a huge fan of side scrollers myself, I'd certainly like to see more of them. Hopefully when the audio game maker is released I'll be able to put something together, sinse I've got quite a few ideas, though without a litle more info I'm not precisely sure at the moment how to produce a 2D game using it.

though the lack of a save feature is indeed a pest, it might stil be possible to create a large Zelda style game by spreading it over several different password protected game files. this would make for a slightly more linniar Rpg it's true, but certainly it'd be a step in the right direction.

I hope this trouble doesn't set audio game maker back too far, especially sinse from some earlier posts it sounds as if whether the project will continue will depend upon community support and how much funding they can get for it.

The problem with a side scroller is that you can't navigate around objects, because there's no left and right.

I've never played that level of Hunter (I still need to purchase it), but what I've heard in the audio reviews sounds almost the same as my ideas.

If someone can explain me how to jump over rocks with a canoe, I'll be happy! Anyway, that's physically impossible.

But if someone is going to create a new side scroller, it would be nice!

i designed the final boss fight for the documentation. it's a spoiler below, but i will paste it it's interesting.
level 17: the base
the base of the robot. different to the lab, because it's.... well.... the final battle! all acts will be described here.
acts: 4
act 1
just go through the level, avoiding all kinds of traps... in fact, all of them. shoot the robot. he will taunt you when he is near you. he'll say things like "i shall destroy you!" "you are stupid!" "i hate the earth!" "the police are morons!" etc. when you shoot him, a sound will play. this sound increases in pitch every second. at 4 seconds, the pitch will probably be very high. this means he's about to disappear. so while the sound is playing, shoot him as many times as possible. then a special sound will paly when he disappears, and his final enemies (lots of them!) will come at you. kill them all and the robot will be back again. he goes faster this time. oh, and one more thing -- avoid the laser gun that he's got. if a beep sound begins to be heard in your right ear coming closer, jump when it's near the centre. you could outsmart it and perhaps it will move to the left, or try to lock onto you again.
after you have shot him a certain amount of times, he talks a bit and then you go onto the next act.
act 2:
the robot has transformed into a car! when you hear it near the centre, jump! then go left and shoot it a bit. then jump again. if you shoot it enough it will be disabled for a while. when this happens you can not shoot it, but you can move through the act collecting a few items. then the car will come back again! shoot it enough times and it'll blow up. then you go onto the next part.
act 3:
the robot is very, very angry now! he has transformed into a plane! he will not only try to ram your head but he'll shoot you! so when it's near you jump! after a while you will hear it try to land, duck down and  fire (your laser will be pointing upwards when you duck). you can only shoot it while it's landing! if ya shoot it enough times it goes back up again, and goes faster. keep doing this until the thing goes boom!
act 4:
this is the final act. the robot has fired a blast and it sent you into a plane. the robot is also in a plane. and just when you thought there will be information on how to shoot the thing... no! this time, you are on your own for this act. it'll give ya more of a challenge. however, the following tips will help you:
*chace the plane sound you hear around.
*your plane has side lasers, and enemies come at you. use them when necessary.
*if you hear a beep, beep, beep, centre it up aned fire. you will get an item of some sort. you can get bombs but i will not tell you how to use them! buahahhahaha!
*if you destroy the robot, you will get an amazing 1000000 points for your efferts!

hmm... i only know about ljudo.com, but sound-ideas.com does have sound libraries which are quite expensive but i think give you many gbs of sounds.
