Re: Audo, endless racing game Thanks @ogomez92 for checking out the source and your kind words!Synthesis is super cool and I love its expressiveness. With it we can build dynamic systems, musical or not, that respond to player input and react to emergent situations. Being able to achieve that with code is more or less surreal.I think part of the future of audio games (and game audio in general) is a return to form. As hardware improves over time, synthesis will approach a simulacra that will eventually surpass recorded sound. This includes speech synthesis. Obviously it won't truly replace voice actors or recording engineers, but it will give devs more options and save us some disk space.Earlier someone mentioned that they don't enjoy the sound design here for its 8-bit simplicity. It's a fair criticism. While I agree that Audo doesn't do much toward realism, the fact that a game like Audo can be built with synthesizers is a good proof of concept for the possibilities to come. I'd love to play more games that do this but better. Eventually its engine will be ready to share and I'll warmly invite you to make your own.That said, something cool about the changes under the hood with this update is that I've upgraded its engine from 2D to 3D. It doesn't change Audo at all, but creating 3D experiences is much easier. For example, with S.E.A. I honestly hacked together its 3D movement on top of the old 2D engine. When I upgrade it, its sound design and movement physics will be a lot closer to reality. However, that will take more time as it's a much larger overhaul than this patch.

Re: Audo, endless racing game @34Hi Diego,Thanks for letting me know. I have not experienced this bug personally. Two ideas:1) The drifting cues are opposite the direction you're moving. It's sort of like dust getting ejected away from you as you move. Eventually you'll hit walls on either side that are panned to the side you're on.2) Are you playing without headphones? Something that can happen in "landscape-secondary" mode is that the phone is upside down, so its stereo speakers are reversed. Currently the game doesn't detect this and flip the stereo image. If this is the case, then try rotating your device. The UI will rotate with it so the speakers will line up with the controls.Let me know if that helps. Thanks!

Re: Audo, endless racing game Hi folks,Small update today. Audo has been updated to version 1.2.0. For desktop users, this is purely a maintenance update and doesn't need to be downloaded.Importantly, this update does have some love for those who asked for mobile support. If you visit the game page on your mobile device, it should now run in your browser. The screen has been divided in half to provide big touch areas for you to drift left and right. Tap and hold either side of the screen and your racer will drift in that direction. Note that when I tested this with TalkBack on Android, I needed to disable TalkBack temporarily to play.Something that I wish was in this update is accelerometer support. I tested it locally and had a basic control scheme working. It was like a steering wheel. Unfortunately, the way that itch.io embeds the game disallows access to this data, so I had to pull its support. I plan on letting them know so hopefully they can update their security policy soon.Enjoy!

Re: Audo, endless racing game @30:I don't have access to a Mac so none of my games have official builds for it. There are two ways you can get one:1) Install the itch app and download the HTML build from there. The itch app has a built-in browser but it's not powerful enough to run the game. If you go to its install location, then you can run the index file in a supported browser like Google Chrome, Opera, or possibly Safari.2) The source code is available in the first post. Feel free to build the game for Mac (it should just work), or even make your own modifications. But I don't feel comfortable distributing applications that I don't personally build.

Re: Audo, endless racing game @27:Thanks so much for the suggestions! The list of games is so large and overwhelming for me that I never know where to dive in.@28:Exactly! It'd be an indicator without any movement restrictions. What makes this tough is the soundscape is very busy, everyone is moving so fast, and the cue shouldn't be exhausting to hear over and over. There's a ton of ways to approach it. Like scooping out each lane with positional audio, or adding painted lines as an element to the soundtrack. The power-up size and acceleration drop-off are pretty generous so I think it's better to direct folks to the center than to indicate its exact position. I'll experiment and see what works best for the next update.

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game The way I understood the idea of dividing the track wasn't so much that you only had 3 positions you could be in, and more like something like the rumble strips on a highway that divide it into lanes. So you'd hear them if you moved your ship over them but your movement would still be unrestricted. I think that's a really good idea. If you had something else in mind then I guess this is an alternative feature request Edit: I'd love to see you make a shooter. If it had a lot of different enemies that all act slightly differently and powerups to make the game interesting, I'd be all over it and I think you could make something that sounds really cool with your engine.

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game @shiftBacktickIf you want games in this genre to examine, try "villains from beyond", "Audio Strike", and "Space Encounter".I personally don't like the 3 lane method simply because I find it too limiting, but I do think that having a special sound for the direct center would be useful as an optional feature.

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game @24, thanks for the huge amount of detail in your post. I'll have to sift through the scoring info you provided. I'm guessing the variation in scores does have an explanation which I'll find once I sift through it and work it out.Part of me likes the challenge of finding the center of the track while just using the music as guidance, but another part of me thinks it would be cool to have the cues. For 1, it's nearly impossible to play the game when anything is going on in the background (Skype call for instance). Secondly I bet the cues would probably sound interesting because of how things are synthesized. I guess the only reason I wouldn't want them is that I like challenge a little too much hahaha. But yeah, it's a good idea, I'm not discouraging it.

Re: Audo, endless racing game @17I've been thinking about this more. I definitely want to add an additional cue to help center the player on the track. I have a few ideas. One of them is a cue that divides the track into thirds to help establish the sweet spot in the center. Staying in that middle third means you're getting at least 98% acceleration, and is wide enough that if not totally centered you'd have enough reaction time to grab the power-up. (But just to be clear, the opponents don't care and drive how they please!)@22I love the idea of a shooter in this style. I'm pretty full right now, but I'll browse the games list for inspiration and start a design document for a rainy day. Maybe I'll reconsider my concept for No Video Jam?@23The saves are stored in %AppData%/Audo on Windows. It's stored as a binary file in the Local Storage subdirectory. I've never tried editing that file directly, but I know you can safely clear your save by deleting the entire directory. It will get created when you next launch the game.Here's how the current scoring algorithm works:Every frame your score increases by your acceleration times the natural logarithm of how long (in seconds) you've been playing. It's a slow increase with diminishing returns: after completing the first lap it's 3 per second, and by lap 100 it's 8 per second. Your acceleration is a number between 0 and 1 which is based on where on the track you are, with 1 being the center and 0 being the guard rails. So if you hug the sides it stops increasing.Every time a speed boost is collected, your entire score is multiplied by 1.5. If you can grab one every lap, then your score increases exponentially at that rate. Combining that with good positioning gives you the really big scores.My personal best is 5,393. I'm not good at these types of games. So it's super cool to see all these great scores!

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game Wow this is a cool game! My max velocity is just under 17000, so I still have some work to do if I'm to catch up to key .. Admittedly it takes a while to build up, but I like how the difficulty slowly increases. If it hadn't been for all the tips on this thread though, I surely would not have gotten it, so thank you all for giving tips on how to find the center of the track.Also I agree that the sound design is a nice mix between futuristic and retro. I didn't think I'd like the binaural cues on synthy sounds like this, but... maybe I'm easily impressed but I do think it works.In the end, what killed me was not knowing that opponents could be off center. I went into it thinking tht everything was in the center but off center was totally safe, but I guess I'm wrong. That definitely increases the challenge, as by the time I realized this, I was going a bit too fast for my reflexes to kick in and dodge them. Also I'm still getting used to the steering/drifting mechanics. It's not an instant drift, so you have to anticipate where you're going to be ahead of time.Am I the only one who sort of feels like this could also be a throwback to atari2600 games?

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game This is pretty interesting and certainly something I'll be coming back to.Despite users talking about a retro, 8-Bit feel to the game, I actually think it sounds very futuristic, as the car engines are smooth, quiet and electric sounding.I'm still figuring out the game, as the tutorial hasn't seemed to show up for me, but it's so simply yet fun that I don't think it really needs one.Good job, hope to see more from you!

Re: Audo, endless racing game Thanks for all the responses!@5, @7:Audo is built with _javascript_. I've provided a link to the source code in the OP. It was created using the engine that I custom built for soundStrider, which is open source and set up as a template for you to create your own projects. It includes utilities for creating synths and positioning them as props on a 2D binaural stage (there's no Z-axis). It's not fully documented or finished yet but feel free to explore. For this game I experimented with keeping the player relatively stationary and instead moving the sounds around them.https://github.com/nicross/syngen@8, @9:The soundtrack is one component to help position you on the track. There are a few other subtler hints. The engine gets wobbly when you're not in the optimal position. The road has rumble strips on each side. And new enemies are always spawned in the center so you can follow them (just don't crash). I agree that maybe it's missing something, could be louder or clearer, etc.In general I think an options screen might be a target of the next update (no ETA). Volume sliders for master and music are good suggestions. I'm also thinking of two toggles: show tutorial and instant mode. With this update the early game is more gradual, so what instant mode might do is start you at 500 points and a couple racers on the track already so it's more like the jam version.@11:With this update I fixed a really bad bug. Basically in the Web Audio API you need to explicitly tell oscillators when to stop or they keep consuming resources. Well, every time the hi-hats were hit they were never stopped, so after a few minutes the audio would start degrading. Oops!

Re: Audo, endless racing game Thanks for all the responses!@5, @7:Audo is built with _javascript_. I've provided a link to the source code in the OP. It was created using the engine that I custom built for soundStrider, which is open source and set up as a template for you to create your own projects. It includes utilities for creating synths and positioning them as props on a 2D binaural stage (there's no Z-axis). It's not fully documented or finished yet but feel free to explore. For this game I experimented with keeping the player relatively stationary and instead moving the sounds around them.@8, @9:The soundtrack is one component to help position you on the track. There are a few other subtler hints. The engine gets wobbly when you're not in the optimal position. The road has rumble strips on each side. And new enemies are always spawned in the center so you can follow them (just don't crash). I agree that maybe it's missing something, could be louder or clearer, etc.In general I think an options screen might be a target of the next update (no ETA). Volume sliders for master and music are good suggestions. I'm also thinking of two toggles: show tutorial and instant mode. With this update the early game is more gradual, so what instant mode might do is start you at 500 points and a couple racers on the track already so it's more like the jam version.@11:With this update I fixed a really bad bug. Basically in the Web Audio API you need to explicitly tell oscillators when to stop or they keep consuming resources. Well, every time the hi-hats were hit they were never stopped, so after a few minutes the audio would start degrading. Oops!

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game OK, after playing the game for a bit more I think it might be good to have a slider for the music volume, or at least the kick/snare part of it. If you're playing in a quiet environment, you can hear it all right but I was playing the game in the middle of voice chatting with a friend who had a lot of background noise, which though normally wasn't really a problem was obscuring the music. Another friend told me that while he could hear the music when it was centered he had more trouble localising his position if it went to the sides.

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game This new update is amazing! I haven't experienced any cutouts so far. In the jam version, it cut out the audio after about a minute, and if I was somehow able to crash, I'd end up with a score of 500 or so.

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game This game is really cool, especially after this update. I'm really digging the sound design here, I love how you really get a sense of speed even though the audio is very much retro enspired. Making the cars make the wobbling sounds as a form of collision warning is brilliant, it really fits the atmosphere while being really useful and far less obvious than a beep or something.Yeah, the music pans around to show where you are on the screen. I didn't notice it at first but once I did picking up the shields became much easier.

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game Hi,I don't know if this is still the case, but when I played, there was this... heartbeat sound. You need to have the volume up to hear it. But when the heartbeat's in the center, you're near that lane.

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game I like it, playing with Xbox 1 controller. I'm not really sure how to know when I'm in the center though. I can just sort of go to both sides then guess.

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game it's probably _javascript_. Using some 3d audio library. Which is it?

Re: Audo, endless racing game
Re: Audo, endless racing game Ok so, after playing I like it a lot, but there is one thing.I don't know if I am in the center, I just kind of learned how large is the track.The rest is awesome though.
