I'm having difficulty buying a weapon.  I can get to big Al's gun shop
but when I hit enter on the buy button after making sure there's a
quantity selected it won't buy the weapon.  Do I need to hit the space
bar to slect the graphic above the edit box for the quantity?

thanks,

Dacia

 Hi,

 I have a question, I just signed up for the game.  Yes it's accessible
 but it seems a bit sluggish and cluttered.  Is there a setting in
 preferences that can make it a bit easier to navigate.  I.E. is there
 a mobile site that's a bit less clunky?  I'm liking the game so far.
 thanks,

Re: [Audyssey] The Three Monkeys Kickstarter Campaign

2015-03-12 Thread Ron Schamerhorn
I very much wish them well and hope that the funding for development is 
found.  I downloaded the prototype and looks good thus far.  Though 
honestly can anyone tell me what I should be doing in the beginning?  I 
just seem to walk forward for ever without anything changing.  The pdf 
was a tad vague on things.


TIA

Hi Folks,
Into the Abyss - The Three Monkeys Kickstarter Campaign is almost over. I
tried to find out the final total but it kept locking up my computer. The
last time I was able to check, As of March 10, 2015:
227 backers
£7,971
pledged of £28,000 goal
48 hours to go

The last post: probably from JaminEatWorld
March 12, 2015 13:07:56
As we approach the end of the Three Monkeys Kickstarter campaign, we
wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your support over the past
30 days - it
really does mean the world to the team - and let you know what's what
going forward.

Sadly, it doesn't look like the Three Monkeys Kickstarter is going to be
a success. It was always a risk pushing things down this route, and -
despite some
fantastic support from you all - it looks like we're going to fall quite
a bit short of our target.

Our KS target was higher than we initially hoped when launching this
campaign, but it's what we realistically needed to do the project justice
and unlock
other avenues of funding; we didn't see the point of asking for less, and
not bringing the game to life to the quality we'd intended. Asking for
too little
has been a failure on the behalf of many high profile Kickstarter
campaigns, and we didn't want to put ourselves in that boat.

This hopefully isn't the end for Three Monkeys, however. We'll be going
back to the drawing board and exploring other avenues of funding, and
will keep

pushing to make this audio RPG a reality. We know many of you are crying
out for a game like this, and we'd dearly love to see it made. We're
aware it's
a niche - which is perhaps why we didn't hit our funding goal - but we'd
love to see Three Monkeys plug a gap in the audio game market, and push
the boundaries
of what can be achieved in a game with no visuals.

To everybody that has backed the campaign, shared, commented or simply
taken the time to check it out - thank you.

You'll hear more from us soon.

Dark,

I don’t remember this tutorial from Trivia Crack, and it has been a long time. 
However, the game itself is much more useable.
In the meantime, might I suggest using your finger to explore the screen, 
instead of flicking? In particular, sometimes close buttons and so forth are 
near the upper left.
Also, for long term play, I highly recommend the ad free version. It is much 
more pleasant to use.

Re: [Audyssey] trivia crack trouble

2015-03-12 Thread Teresa Cochran
In the actual game the procedure goes this way: spin, then press the play 
button near the bottom of the screen. When you answer three questions 
correctly, you'll get a chance at a character. There is a distinctive audio cue 
for this and many other options in the game. Double-tap the character you want 
and press play. At random, the spins will land you on a character. When you get 
this option in either case, you have to pick whether to answer a single 
question or play a six-question challenge that both you and your oppoent must 
answer. Your opponent can steal your characters, and you can steal theirs. You 
have to choose which character you don't mind losing and which one you want to 
steal.

If you get a wrong answer, you have to swipe up with two fingers immediately in 
order to hear the question and the answer you selected, plus the correct answer.

This is not a game created expressly for the visually impaired. It is 
reasonably accessible the way it is, but not perfect. This is the downside of 
buying off-the-shelf games for mobile devices, or going to websites to play 
games.

HtH,
Teresa

Hi Zack.

That makes sense.

One thing I was wondering is how multiple games work, sinse right now I have 
three games going and I'm waiting for my opponents to continue, and yet one 
of the extras in the shop talks about multiple lives which I assume are 
multiple games running simultaniously. I also want to know what happens if 
my opponents don't take their turn, do I win? :d.


Lastly I do wish there was a better way of adding friends than facebook, 
sinse I would like to play against people from my game center and indeed 
have people play against me, I'm darkempathy on there if anyone wants to add 
me or whatever you do.

Crowns are pretty simple. The way it works is you have both players

opponent has. You can only choose crowns in the screen you haven’t already

 I don’t remember this tutorial from Trivia Crack, and it has been a long 
 time. However, the game itself is much more useable.
 In the meantime, might I suggest using your finger to explore the screen,

 multiple games running simultaniously. I also want to know what happens if my

 Lastly I do wish there was a better way of adding friends than facebook,

 Dark,
 
 Crowns are pretty simple. The way it works is you have both players listed, 
 and the first “crowns,” are yours, the second are the ones your opponent 
 has. You can only choose crowns in the screen you haven’t already earned.

 Zack.

Re: [Audyssey] trivia crack trouble

2015-03-12 Thread Teresa Cochran
 Oh, I forgot to mention that you need six characters to win, one of each 
 category. It's simily to Trivial Pursuit, if you've played that before. You 
 can get up to three characters per turn. When I pick a character to lose, 
 it's usually one from a category I do well in, so I can gain it back easily. 
 Similarly, I try to steal a character for a category I'm not so hot at. :)

Re: [Audyssey] trivia crack trouble

2015-03-12 Thread dark

Hi Teresa.

As I said to zack, it seems to just be the tutorial which is a pest, but 
thanks for letting me know about how to get the correct answer, sinse it's 
always good to learn things while playing.


I have no problem with testing games out (I do it enough myself), I was just 
a little narked to wind up in such a fix with a game most people were 
praising so highly, though in fairness some of the access issues referd to 
on applevis seem fine.


The only thing I'm currently  wondering is exactly what does the Spin 
option when you go for a crown does?


All the best,

Dark.

In the actual game the procedure goes this way: spin, then press the play 
button near the bottom of the screen. When you answer three questions 
correctly, you'll get a chance at a character. There is a distinctive 
audio cue for this and many other options in the game. Double-tap the 
character you want and press play. At random, the spins will land you on a 
character. When you get this option in either case, you have to pick 
whether to answer a single question or play a six-question challenge that 
both you and your oppoent must answer. Your opponent can steal your 
characters, and you can steal theirs. You have to choose which character 
you don't mind losing and which one you want to steal.


If you get a wrong answer, you have to swipe up with two fingers 
immediately in order to hear the question and the answer you selected, 
plus the correct answer.


This is not a game created expressly for the visually impaired. It is 
reasonably accessible the way it is, but not perfect. This is the downside 
of buying off-the-shelf games for mobile devices, or going to websites to 
play games.


HtH,
Teresa

[Audyssey] The Three Monkeys Kickstarter Campaign

2015-03-12 Thread Phil Vlasak

Hi Folks,
Into the Abyss - The Three Monkeys Kickstarter Campaign is almost over. I 
tried to find out the final total but it kept locking up my computer. The 
last time I was able to check, As of March 10, 2015:

227 backers
£7,971
pledged of £28,000 goal
48 hours to go

The last post: probably from JaminEatWorld
March 12, 2015 13:07:56
As we approach the end of the Three Monkeys Kickstarter campaign, we wanted 
to take a moment to thank you all for your support over the past 30 days - 
it
really does mean the world to the team - and let you know what's what going 
forward.


Sadly, it doesn't look like the Three Monkeys Kickstarter is going to be a 
success. It was always a risk pushing things down this route, and - despite 
some
fantastic support from you all - it looks like we're going to fall quite a 
bit short of our target.


Our KS target was higher than we initially hoped when launching this 
campaign, but it's what we realistically needed to do the project justice 
and unlock
other avenues of funding; we didn't see the point of asking for less, and 
not bringing the game to life to the quality we'd intended. Asking for too 
little
has been a failure on the behalf of many high profile Kickstarter campaigns, 
and we didn't want to put ourselves in that boat.


This hopefully isn't the end for Three Monkeys, however. We'll be going back 
to the drawing board and exploring other avenues of funding, and will keep
pushing to make this audio RPG a reality. We know many of you are crying out 
for a game like this, and we'd dearly love to see it made. We're aware it's
a niche - which is perhaps why we didn't hit our funding goal - but we'd 
love to see Three Monkeys plug a gap in the audio game market, and push the 
boundaries

of what can be achieved in a game with no visuals.

To everybody that has backed the campaign, shared, commented or simply taken 
the time to check it out - thank you.


You'll hear more from us soon.

Re: [Audyssey] xbox accessibility?

2015-03-12 Thread Piotr Machacz
The dashboard can be memorised. If you get a Kinect with the xbox, then 
you can also use voice commands to navigate the interface and launch 
games, and the success and/or failure of what you asked is indicated 
with audio queues. The newer Kinect games like Kinect sports season 2 
also let you use voice commands in the game's menus. Downloading digital 
games is accessible because you can do it from the xbox live website. 
The cconsole is smart enough to start downloading new purchases and when 
they're finished you get a sound. You can also use the smart glass app 
on iOS, android or Windows 8 to control the console and launch games.
Now, for some speculation. The Xbox one is very likely to receive 
Windows 10, and it will support running new universal apps, so it's 
very likely it may receive a narrator feature, especially considering 
that because Microsoft is pushing it as a media consumption device it 
might fall under the FCC accessibility regulations.
