folks. why can't we all start acting like grownups and stop being so
easily offended? Lory the reason the app has to have some basic visuals
is because that's what apple requires! nothing less, nothing more. It's
not about discrimination, it's about following guidelines.

Ok before you verbley attack me any further, let me spell this out to
you as you are obviously jumping on the moral high horse and totally
missing the point I was trying to make and I'm sick of being picked up
wrongly by this community!!
You have a game, which when shown on a phone to someone sighted has a
basic title. You have seen the desc in the app store, and know it is
fully voiced, so when you single, or double tap depending on if you're
a voice over user or not on the game's title, the first thing people
should hear is the game's voice giving people instructions, such as
"Main Menu" then a list of options to pick from. My comment about
discrimination was merely that I didn't see why anything had to be
shown on screen if there was an audible voice telling you what to do
and how to do it. The being blind part was refering to the fact that
more games have to be adapted for the blind than for the sighted, and
I thought it'd make a nice change for the sighted to try to adapt to
us instead. It's called thinking outside the box. and Just to be
clear I am a strong person here, not a weak pathetic blind person who
plays weak cards!

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.

Eleanor,
Where can I find the games that you made? I got interested to try them.

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

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
