Hi,
I seriously have to agree here.
Stop playing the blind card. I'm tired of it. And I'm blind.
We try and tell everyone else to set standards for accessibility. So
what's the trouble with actually getting a logo and title to display on
screen? Pretty hypocritical, don't you think?
This is almost like the blindfold games (which I still boycott and
always will) for not following apple's guidelines. There are too many
blindfold games out there (and all of them basically pay to play, in
theory). What is the big deal about categorizing them? No, we had to
play the blind card. And the amount of money charged to play the entire
catalogue of RS games on an iPhone is unapologetically money hungry.
It's free on the computer - I can understand perhaps $5.00 for the
entire set. Even $10.
Anyway, just my $.02, which is probably getting off the topic. I
apologize. I also just had to rant a little there because this is
getting ridiculous.

Sighted folk (and I am one) frequently play with the sound turned off
to prevent disturbing others that are close by. They would not hear
anything and if they didn't see anything, they would think the
computer died or something like that. I have played audio games, and
we produced a number of blind accessible games, but we wanted
everyone to be able to play the games we made. Having a blank screen
would prevent anyone who has sound turned down from playing because
they would not know the game was there.

That's why I said discrimination, would it kill sighted folks to use
their imaginations and their ears!

Well sure! it might just be an audio game where nothing is
happening on the screen. but you at least need a title and logo. is
it really such a big deal to follow a few simple guidelines folks?

Hi
Here David, from myTrueSound. We have faced some issues with the
review team of App Store. For few days they have been demanding
more and more things on our app, asking questions like, the game
doesn't work (our answer: it is an audio game, so nothing happens
on the screen, just turn the volume up), the visuals are not good
enough (our answer: it is an audio game and that is not an
important issue, but sure, we will improve the visual aspect of
the main menu), and the last why there is not a back button (our
answer: the back button is implemented with a double tap with two
fingers as in screen reader, which is more handy than a physical
back button, but yeah, ok, we will put it).
So all those things have affected the launch day. We are really
sorry about that. We have worked hard to get it done, but as indie
developers and neweys in this field, time took us by surprise.
However, we should be up in App Stores hopefully in 1 or 2 days,
if they don't discover any new thing. Today we were interviewed by
the Blind Abilities podcast, so if you want to listen the whole
story, you could listen it there within some few days.
On the mean time, if somebody wants to play it on Android, here is
the link

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
<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
