Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible
Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible Unfortunately not. The game has been around for several years and I only started to hear about battery issues from players using VoiceOver.I am not really sure yet how to isolate, verify and fix the issue.A few questions for anyone who would like to answer:* I am assuming other VoiceOver games do not have nearly as bad battery issues?* Are you keeping the app open or just coming back for a couple of mins every time a quest finishes?

Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible
Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible Just a quick message to make everyone aware of a reasonably big accessibility improvement in version 3.2.0 - the specific path to travel to locations can now be described with VoiceOver in the travel popup. This change was suggested by quite a few of you, so thank you for your feedback!In addition, Gem Reforging in 3.2.0 helps VoiceOver players by giving them an alternative to Gem Cutting for improving their gems.Full 3.2.0 release notes:NEW FEATURES● Inn Quests - are you constantly short on gold and wish there was a more efficient way to obtain it? Various quests can now be undertaken at Inns around the land to earn you significant amounts of gold.● Gem Reforging - do you struggle with gem cutting or simply want to strive for perfect quality gems? You can now combine a gem of the highest available tier with another in order to reforge it and increase its overall quality.CHANGES● Illustrious Gem Cutting now requires a recipe from Chapter 1 - existing players who have already visited Thardric Slums will have the recipe automatically added to their quest items.ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS● The specific path to travel to locations can now be described with VoiceOver in the travel popup● Added commas between the runes in the accessibility label for Lore Researching guesses to improve the VoiceOver readabilityBUG FIXES● Fixed another bug with the number of locations being calculated incorrectly URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=357063#p357063 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible
Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible Thanks for the great write up Dark!I am finding the battery usage issues very strange. It has never been reported as a problem in the past 2 years so I suspect it may be something related to the Voice Over support. Apologies for those of you that it is affecting, I will let you know how I go with investigating it.Also I am getting several reports of the gold per hour not working for people but once again it seems to only affect Voice Over users which is quite perplexing. If it is affecting anyone here then please let me know URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=354072#p354072 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible nolly wrote:When gem cutting it is important to note that you shouldn't try to guess and time when the tone will sound to hit it exactly right while using voice over. What I mean is don't sit there and try to anticipate when the tone will chime, pressing cut before you hear the tone, as it will result in negative results. I spent an entire day collecting gold and gems to test which works best and I've found that double tapping is best (recommended by the developer), as well as hitting the cut button when you hear the tone. Actually, I have had best results when I hit the cut button a split second after the tone, especially for the first and second cut. I believe this is because the developer said that he took into account of the delay that would occur for voice over users using double tap and if you are too quick you will outpace the delay..This is exactly right!

Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible
Re: Land of Livia: An IOS game which has been made accessible Hi everyone, my name is Aaron and I am the creator of Land of Livia. I am glad that so many of you are enjoying my game and it is great to see you discussing it here.I wanted to join this forum to let you know that I read everything that is posted here and whilst I may not have time to respond to everything individually, I am definitely paying attention and taking note. I have ben working on Land of Livia for over 3 years now and it has gotten to this point by continually growing and evolving with the help of my players.The previous two releases 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 have addressed many of the concerns that I have seen discussed on this forum. There will be more improvements coming in the future so keep the feedback coming!3.1.2--CHANGES● Due to popular demand, you can now travel to new locations (locked or unlocked) from any other location on the map, rather than only when you are adjacent to them - this improves usability for new players and also has large benefits for players using VoiceOver● Side affect of the above change is that travelling between chapters now takes travel time which allows you to do it from any location on the mapBUG FIXES● Fixed bugs with tutorials for iPad that were introduced in the previous release3.1.1--ACCESSIBILITY IMPROVEMENTS● The tutorial hints can now be navigated seamlessly - apologies to those that had trouble getting stuck● The current location is now auto selected when you dismiss alerts● The gem cutting button is now auto selected when you enter the gem cutting screen● Improved the hint on the gem cutting button to explain that you don't have to cut on the first sound - you can take your time and listen to the regular timing of the sound and then cut when you are ready● The Lore Runes are now named using the Greek alphabet rather than English alphabet to improve usabilityBUG FIXES● Fixed bug where the accessibility label for the current location did not update correctly● Fixed bug where the accessibility label for the researching runes were numbered incorrectly i.e. rune 6 rather than 5● Fixed crash in the Campfire when there is no internet connection URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=353189#p353189 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
