wow thats a load of questions.
To be honest I have tested loads of stuff.
not just games.
I have done goverment tests, and even trouble shot new classified hardware.
This stuff you have been working with is real good.
No faults have been found it even works on my realtech sound card
which teraformas has real issue with.
Being a macromedia flash style game.
I use headphones.
THe game's circular nature seems quite cool
HOwever having louder steps and some sort of object locater would be cool.
Finding buildings seem quite natural.
The landscape is quite quiet and has the scary noise I would never
play otherwise without headphones.
Can you use the mouse to navigate?
I have a mouse I use for railracer, however there is not enough room
on this here desk to properly use the mouse and I use an external
keyboard for navigation.

Hi Lori et al,
Thanks Lori, we'll definitely consider adding extra targeting feedback.
For all of you trying out the Extant tech demo, we're very
interested in details such as if you:
- are playing the PC or the Mac version?
- are using headphones, stereo desktop speakers, 5.1, 7.1, etc.?
- just use keyboard input or also use a mouse?
- reconfigured the original control scheme yet (you can if you want to)?
- can't get anything to work?
- etc.
This can help us establish with for instance why footsteps may
appear too loud for one player but soft for someone else. I can tell
you, using headphones or speakers makes quite a difference.
Also, we interested of what you think of the design of the
gamespace. What do you think of:
- how the world, the environment sounds?
- the different acoustics based on your current location (which is
all realtime dynamic reverberation by the way ;)
- how buildings work (finding them, entering and leaving them, etc.)?
- how pickups work?
- how fighting work (thanks again for those who already expressed
their feedback on this issue)?
- how orientation and navigation works, incl. Moby?
And did anyone already notice something peculiar about the gameworld? ;)
Thanks for your feedback, keep 'em coming. Please post either to
this list or join us on the Extant-forum:

Sorry, were your steps sounds loud? Mine werre really quiet for
some reason and when the monster thing attacked me I couldn't tell
if i'd hit him with my gun or not. I heard the sound of my heart
beat but there wasn't a health stats key to see how it was doing.
