Aaron I only hope you do realize that the whiners represent a minority here, in spite of them being the loudest. And I don't mean this thread in particular, just the general state of affairs. Keep up the great work.
As for the demo, just finished it with: 18 arrow pouches, 4 angel's breaths, 17 holy supplements, and 5 lives, on difficulty normal. Brag brag!
A winner never flames. A flamer never wins.

Wow Raygrote you're fast! Good thing tomorrow is Sunday, cause I know how the night will be spent. Can't wait to join you at the Gates of Hades. And good luck to you!

There's only one thing I can say to that: Oh! My! Goodness!

I agree with PinkSapphire. It's seeing comments like these that has over the years robbed me of my motivation to really learn to program games or, at the very least, to make them available to the public. And that's not even including the generally chaotic nature of life that sometimes forces you to step away from it, sometimes for long periods of time. Perhaps the game is overpriced, but I paid for it simply to support Aaron, and I definitel disagree wit the coment about it being worth five bucks at most. Yes I might have liked to see a little more done with the game but it's still no walk in the park. I have yet to beat level 4 without losing enough lives and using enough healing items to make subsequent levels all but impossible. Those damn rocks! LOL. Do I wish more peple would explore more of what the side scroller genre really has to offer? I certainly do. But until then I'll take what I can get.

I tried the demo and I will do so again if I can figure out the Grey Lady.
So far, the game sounds interesting and I will consider buying it.
About the game development discussion:
What I don't get is why no one has made their own "Audio Unity".
This obviously is a nickname.
I know that this community has visually impaired members or people who were sighted once and then lost it later in their lifes.
I know that especially most audio game companies are small like the small mainstream developer teams compared to big game companies.
But I think that because development groups are small or one man deals, we should have our own game engine which would make development easier, because not every part of the game would be needed to be written line by line.
I know that audio game development goes back years.
And even in the time we started, mainstream games were obviously ahead.
What I don't get is why it is seemingly hard to get to a point where they were years ago, because I know that we are behind and can't catch up in a short amound of time.
I mean really, everyone probably knows Doom and Quake (first titles, not later games) at least by Name or reputation. And this is obviously only PC related.
But how old is the Final Fantasy series?
That supposedly was a hit years ago and still seems to be.
But I have never seen any Kind of audiogame let's say comparable to Final Fantasy 7 or 8.
Or fighting games like Metal Gear, Mortal Combat or Street Fighter.
And don't even think about games the size of The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt or World of Warcraft, where we have bigger developer Teams and lots of post release Content, paid and free.
But if I am right, official game developer or modding tools existed and I think I remember reading that lots of mods for Doom 1 and Quake 1 were published in a time where not everyone had internet and those who did used modems and not DSL.
Yet people managed to create (for that time) high quality content and could share it.
But since many sidescrollers use similar principles, I still wonder why there is no accessible engine for creating such games with some kind of audio/TTS powered level editor.
I mean, if we have developers who can code such things for example in BGT, what stopps such people making their own audio game engine and sell it like any other program or tool out there?
I know only of two engines, but I do not know what they actually can do.
I mean the GMA Engine, which is not something you can simply buy of the shelf like their games.
I know only that it is something which relies on the developer writing lots of code, despite being some Kind of engine or maybe library. I don't know if it actually has any form of level editing tools.
Then Draconis made something for the release of Silver Dollar and t new Change Reaction so that it could be released on multiple platforms.
And then there is the Genesis Project from USA Games, but whatever Version exists, it is probably still in development and thus currently not released to the public

@assault_freak: Since you know lots of things regarding Japanese mainstream and audio games, I would like to ask you if you know what the program/Tool known as HSP actually does.
I know that BK3 was made with it, but I do not know if it is like BGT, a programming language/IDE, or if it is actually some kind of game engine in which level design is possible through some kind of level Editor and not via creating your levels the old fashioned way.

I think this is enough, since this topic is not really about development tools, but about a game of which I don't know if it has any kind of replay value.

@Raygrote
Thanks for the hint.  For some reason I seemed to have killed all enemies and didn't see any wind guys reappearing. But Will try again.

Yep, that's how I got her as well, although I spent more arrow pouches I think.

Ah don't even get me started on that thing! Okay what the heck, I will... Just because I'm bored enough to.
The major problem I had with it apart from the very buggy sound engine, is that there were certain things which were simply impossible to do, and the whole setup was just clunky and from what I've heard, had unjustifiable bugs. Even if you set something up correctly according to the engine's spec, it still didn't behave as it should. There was no way to assign keystrokes to check health, lives, or anything else, and you couldn't set up your own custom variable and patterns for things I don't think. No matter how you set up enemies, they'd always move toward you or toward a certain destination and hang onto it like a magnet. That means if they found you, they'd sit on your head and squash you, and nothing you did would make them go away so they'd kill you eventually just by being on top of you and repeatedly attacking you. There may have been a way to change this behavior but it wasn't worth going through the clunkiness to figure it out. Shooting enemies was awful too, no matter how you set it up. Creating an obstacle that would kill the player was pretty time consuming, and if you died, you had no way of returning to the game, unless you set up a very specific procedure. By default you would get killed and the thing would just sit there like, yeah what do I do now? And while I understand you can't just expect the thing to know what you want, it almost felt like I was fighting to do what the engine wanted. The whole thing was just so unintuitive and unrewardingly frustrating. We tried to mention these things upon the product's release, but after about 2 to 3 weeks of what I would call very polite and due criticism, they just vanished. I do hope they were not offended or discouraged by our words, as that was not anyone's intent I'm sure.
Anyway, I'm done now. Back to more positive things.

As for Audio Game Maker they claimed they needed more funding tocontinue development.

Lord Raven, I'm actually not sure what HSP is. I could probably look it up, but I'm not sure because if you look at BK 3 at least and all of Yukio's other games, they're programmed in python if what I know of .py files is correct. Shadow Line doesn't have them, so I don't know... but if I had to gues, I would guess that HSP is some sort of library, not an actual programming language. But I could be wrong.

no, the game was definitely programmed in hsp, hot soup processor, or something like that.

Right, so much for me just never checking extentions. lol Appears that HSP definitely is an actual programming language, then.
