Re: Joining our Beta Testing Team
Re: Joining our Beta Testing Team first some replies @Cody_91 yes please@jack correct we are working with three schools in the UK and anybody willing on Earth. @GeneWarner I to sometimes take things literally, driving my friends and family mad. we simply live in the UK, but yes also on earth and absolutely want anyone to be able to get a copy of the game and influence how it develops. @Crashmaster ... since we only have one code slave right now (mainly me) releasing for stacks of platforms is incredibly difficult, but you will hopefully like the rest of the news I'm sharing today. So I'm also adopting unity cloud build to help improve my build productivity . doing my best pal thats all I can do.@Garrett thanks and thanks again, your support really helps . Some days its hard to pick yourself up and keep going so its just good to know your out there rooting for us. guys just email me direct or hook up on skype. apologies for cross posting... this was also po sted on another section / topic quick post to say I haven't stopped trying to get a JumpInSauceRS release of better quality out there, and I'm at the point where this is very close. if any audiogamers are willing to try out an array of features and new ways to test/share results please just email sel...@audazzle.com 1. we now have a prototype talking scoreboard / "ships computer" that is somewhat of a maverick hence his/her code name is MaverickTTS ... Maverick needs work (and therapy) but having it does mean you can hear your progress and score without relying on a web based TTS. It also means we can put a switch on it to toggle or mute it. 2. thanks to MaverickTTS we were able to finally do a web build (yes that means we are close to a PC build) which I know a few gamers have been asking for. I've been working on web build after web build all day trying to flush out the best way to login as a previous character ( for e very specific te ster who loved their Mists of Audazzle character that much... I couldn't say no)3. shouldn't forget to mention the rival challenge thing, [[wow]] that was fun (hmm)... so we have a web based challenge maker and an email based challenge maker, both randomly create a custom challenge in the name of your character... so if you are super lazy then you can simply submit and get a reward... 4. rewards engine... so in the style of the surreal ramblings of Dark Sock... JumpInSauceRS is being backed with rewards...so lots of details and lots of potential usability issues to find and fix. point is I could be doing this over and over till Christmas, so can anyone spare time to help? ---Q1. Anyone used everyplay? Q1.1. or maybe didn't know they were? -- its a way to record and share playing a game. I embedded this yesterday thought it would help get the best feedback. Q1.2 but us everplay accessible ?anyhow this week and next week I just need some people to agree to help me find the issues that must be sorted to get the final version of JumpInSauceRS ... up to fun factor 1 (on a scale of 1 - 10) ... would just love to get to 1. again apologies for cross posting I'll also post this where folks have been discussing Audazzle and on our Facebook page... please help. p.p.s Q2. anybody use twitch ? Q3.how accessible is it for screen readers?

Re: Joining our Beta Testing Team
Re: Joining our Beta Testing Team Hi Audazzle. I very much approve of and support this approach to unify the gaming community so blind and sighted people can have equal footing on games. Being a particularly obsessive gamer myself Ive also tried various videogames and found them to work because they unintentionally were designed in such a way that the sounds were enough to play it. But that still isnt equal footing as that only applies to a few games, street fighter and mortal combat in particular. Theres also games like Skullgirls, mainstream games that have speech that you can enable, but thats not set up out of the box. This is why I love your mision statement. Ive signed up to beta test your games. Ive already bought jumpin saucers I didnt even bother with the free version, I went right ahead with the paid version, and I honestly do not regret it one bit.

So this is definitely something we are looking into now. Thanks for letting us know about this@EternalGamer it would be great if yo could post it on other sites, unfortunately though the game will only be available in English in the beginning, it will be launched worldwide so we will be looking at expanding to other languages in the future, we are having problems with the text to speech software in English so first we must overcome those difficulties.@Simba Our release date for beta testing is varied, we have submitted the app for review to Apple but are awaiting their approval.

Re: Joining our Beta Testing Team
Re: Joining our Beta Testing Team Hello Everyone,Thank you to all who signed up to join our beta testing team, Its the first time we have ever interacted with Audio Games so we are still relatively new to where to post, I hope this is not a burden to the community. We are developing our first game for iOS and Android but we will be looking at doing it for the PC and windows, as you might be aware the code for each is different so we are first releasing for these two platforms. @chasmaster Thank you very much for your interest in donating to our cause, we will be launching a kickstarter campaign soon, we are currently working on getting that started, your contribution will be very welcome. We will also be releasing two versions of the game, one is a free version, the other is a paid version. You can show your support to us by purchasing the paid version of the game, this purchase gives you a medal of honour, it will be shown on your profile and high scores.We will be sending everyon e an email with more information on how to beta test, so for anyone that hasnt beta tested before you will know how to do it after our email. We are busy coding away getting the game ready for our launch. @dark Thank you so much for your expertise, we are a start up company so we are still looking at what other platforms/games we can expand into and develop. Our main aim is to create more social inclusion and there are so many ways that this can be done, the same way that there are so many different ways that games can be more accessible. We will look at all possibilities to do this, and with the help of all our beta testers I am sure we will achieve something great.@galaxy Stranger Thanks for the information of AppleVis, we are already aware of them. We will be contacting them soon too.

Re: Joining our Beta Testing Team
Re: Joining our Beta Testing Team Hi,Ill take a look at your website and will subscribe there for sure, since I have an iPhone and will be able to help with testing, which I have done before with other games.Like someone else on here already said, to make it a really inclusive game it should be released at least for Windows, since by far not all blind gamers have a smartphone to play games on.If you would like to get more testers with Ios devices in your project, you could post your project on applevis www.applevis.com, which is a site dedicated to blind users of Apple devices. Since your game is mobile only right now, I think you would find more people there who will be able to test your game.Best regardsTikki URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=197503#p197503 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Joining our Beta Testing Team
Re: Joining our Beta Testing Team Moderation! @Crashmaster, while it is correct that usually this room is for new releases only, that is not a friendly way to gree new guests to the forum at all, especially with their mission statement and the fact that their first game is due out soon anyway. After all, no problem with bending the rules for a good cause, we do exist to promote audio games anyway. @Audazzle, Welcome to the site. that is an interesting project, and mutual access to games is certainly a good idea, indeed sometimes I feel glad that i grew up in the 80s and early 90s when my limited vision was adequate to playing a number of 8 and 16 bit titles such as Metroid and Donkey Kong country that I could enjoy with friends, where as today with the rise of 3D and complex graphics Id be entirely out of it (the number of games I could play dropped rapidly with the release of the ps1). I will also say however that the number of accessible games is growing all the time, indeed both yourselves and your daughter Dazy would be very welcome to check out this forum and the site database and see what is on offer currently.About the current state of games playable by blind people and by sighted people visually, there are a good few browser based and now Ios mmorpgs such as Solara, Core exiles and Puppet nightmares that provide access to blind and Vi players through good image labelling and the fact they work through interfaces that inherently involve screen reader accessible text, the same is true for muds, realtime text games, indeed some muds (such as the awsome Alteraeon), have gone out of their way to provide some great Vi access features to assure the same sort of participation you suggest. Obviously however, text gaming is something of a minority interest when compared to games with full 3D graphics. I dont agree that audio games have graphics to alienate sighted players Indeed, there have been some very notable sighte d developers of audio games, some for a mainstream gaming markit, such as the games from somethinelse, on the same basis that some sighted people still listen to radio plays, after all there are atmospheric and artistic properties that representing fully in sound has which graphical representation doesnt, Codename Cygnus for Ios or the Inquisitor games are good recent examples. Then again, of course such things are minority interests and often exist as something of a novelty rather than the main focused interest video games are now, so it is an intreaguing idea. There have been some audio games with placeholder style minimalist graphics such as Shades of doom, Time of conflict, Castaways and Swamp, (Swamp indeed the graphics are kept minimal so as not to provide sighted players with too much extra advantage in an online multiplayer fps environment), however to my knolidge, there have only been four real time action audio games with what you could call full graphi cs (albeit still limited by an indi development budgit), Sonic zoom, a fairly simple arcade title obviously aimed at younger children, the Gamevial accessible flash web games such as Rally racer and rebound, the Terraformers project and the more recent Ios title Nebula. Terraformers I would highly recommend having a look at. While the gameplay is a little slow, and in some ways it feels more like a highly extended tech demo than a game, at the same time the atmosphere, music, and the uses of descriptions along with sounds to give a Vi player not only the same information but also the same ethos and ambience as a sighted person gets from the graphics is very well done, even if the grapics (at least what I can see of them which likely isnt a lot),are probably a step down from what is possible today (the game is 10 years old). There is then NEbula audio game by Grey company released earlier this year for Ios. (I havent unfortunately added it to the audiogames. net database yet, but you can find it on the Ios ap store, the developer is grey company). my problem with the game is that while the concept is interesting, a space invaders game with full graphics but one where nebulae obscure the screen occasionally forcing everyone to rely on audio, I personally didnt find the audio adequate to the task. For example, when an enemy ship fired, the sound of the shot did not indicate its vertical position, so it was possible to hear a shot fired on the right of the sterrio field, think it was safe to move over there with the shot gone and still get hit, further, often the playing area got very crowded with sound sources without distinction. This couldve been fixed with a bit of audio redesign (I actually wonder if the company updated the game to do so), but is one of the problems of trying to replicate information in a fully accessible audio form as well as graphically. I do hope the project goes well, Ive signed up t o the beta team and will be interested to try the game. Though sinse audio space invaders games have been
