No. It is not discrimination.
The app does not meet apple’s human interface guidelines. It’s really
that simple.

Apple have a cheek! That's discrimonation against the blind, not
allowing something to be released just because isn't up to visual
standard!

Hopefully the True sound team will be able to quickly sort this
out and get it posted.

Liam, any idea when this is going to be available in the App
Store? If it is already, I can’t find it.

Hello dear friends and audio game players!
Only 4 days left to launch (31st January) and we
bring you good news!
We have decided to give Episode 1 of GoldGun
completely for free, so all of you can enjoy and get
a feeling of what is coming next. The game (read
below Disclaimer) can be played on 97 % of working
iOS and Android mobile devices, and will be available
on App Store and Google Play. If you can't find it
there, look for the direct link on our website
https://www.mytruesound.com/games which will appear
once the game is on the stores.
Because the game is free, we hope to reach the 10000
downloads goal. This is necessary to show the game
industry and some few investors that there is really
huge potential for audiogames. Despite you like the
game or not, if nobody downloads it we won't be able
to address to them that there are millions of people
wishing to play audio games.
For more info about the game, read our Press Kit at
https://www.mytruesound.com/presskit
We appreciate you share this info in your social
network and to your friends.
Disclaimer:
1) We are facing some issues with Apple Store we are
trying to solve at the moment. Somebody there
basically seems not to understand why an audiogame
doesn't require visuals, or why the menu is so
minimalist. We hope this doesn't affect launch date,
but everything now seems too bureaucratic. Launch on
Google Play seems to be problem-free.
2) This is the first episode of the GoldGun game,
which is scheduled to be composed of 6 more episodes.
Each episode will be better and longer than the
previous, and have more playable content. Due to the
complexity of this type of game, you should expect
next episode to appear within two months. However, we
appreciate if you play this one already, so we can
reach the 10000 downloads goal.
3) This first episode worked for us as a pilot
project. It is a bit short (compared to the future
ones) with about 35 minutes game play. Pilot project
means that it helped us to understand better the
technology we use, and to make different tests. That
being said, we believe the quality of many of its
parts are not yet where we want them to be. We
believe you all deserve better. We will work hard to
improve quality of audio already in the next episode.
We appreciate You are not very hard with us, and
provide us with some time to improve those issues.
4) Next episode has been already written, and the
story improves pretty well. As many of you know, the
main character of the game, Soren, suffered an
accident which turned him blind. There is a reason on
the game script to why the police department thinks
he might be able to destroy the GoldGun, but few
betatesters appointed that blindness is a topic which
should be avoided on audio games. We understood their
point and blindness as a topic to talk on our game
will not be appearing at all on the future episodes.
We hope you all understand we are trying to
constantly improve.
If you read until here, then you know most of what we
wanted to tell.
Thanks a lot for liking, sharing, following.
Best regards
The team of myTrueSound working on this game
