Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay!

Hey everyone! Really glad you're reporting back - I've let our dev team know about the bugs and crashes. We're always working on making the platform more stable, since everything is hosted in the cloud it's still a little temperamental.By the way, Orko, Half actually does have an ending! You just have to figure out how to get to it. Try taking different items with you into each "half" of the world.

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay!

Dearest Orko, and Dark, Chief Defenestrator (please do not defenestrate me!) - WOOP! So glad to hear so much enjoyment. We have many blind and visually impaired users already - the iOS app is Voiceover compatible and we're always looking for ways to make the VUI more friendly. As for UK users - Earplay DOES already work with the Alexa Devices in the UK! Google Assistant has just recently started rolling out support for en-GB with third party actions like ours, so UK users with Google Homes should be able to start Earplay without a problem very soon.Thank you for pointing out the online Alexa sim, Trenton! We use it as a testing environment.  It's a free tool. Lirin & crashmaster - you can use echosim.io to play Earplay from your PC. We're actually planning on having a full-function web application sometime down the road, so you can run any Earplay story from 
 anything that can load a browser and connect a microphone.Orin - we're so thankful to our Cygnus fans, who've been incredibly dedicated to our team and the medium over the past three years. "Reactivated" is only going to be a revamped Mission 1. We DEFINITELY have plans to create a Mission 2, but we've got a ton of other partnerships lined up that will be taking precedent at the moment - I'm most excited for Pugmire (DOGGOS!). In the future we'll be helping other writers and audio creators use our platform to create their stories.Really glad you're liking the Committee!! I'm the Rachel that shows up in it. ;P We'd love to see more people voting every week!

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay!

Sorry to say that we don't. We're focusing our development efforts on the voice assistants since it's Amazon's speech recognition API we're using to interpret player responses. We're looking forward to Google Assistant being integrated with all upcoming Android releases, and hopefully backwards compatibility with older Android devices too.If you don't have an Android that can use Google Assistant yet, you can still get a taste for our games! Earplay emerged out of our first experiment in interactive audio, Codename Cygnus, which is about 7 episodes long. The Cygnus app is still on the Google Play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta … namecygnusWe're not supporting the Cygnus apps anymore, but we're releasing Cygnus "Reactivated" with updated lines and voice prompts on the Earplay platform very soon.

Interactive audio fiction with Earplay!

Hey AudioGames.Net, I wanted to let the community here know about a project I've been working on with a bunch of veteran game devs. Our team includes Dave Grossman, who worked at LucasArts and Telltale Games, Eddy Webb of White Wolf/The Onyx Path (he wrote for Vampires: The Masquerade), and Jonathon Myers of Zynga and Disruptor Beam. (I'm the Earplay comm director - not a game dev vet, just a longtime PC gamer nerd-type.)We're excited to announce that our new platform for interactive audio stories - like a choose your own adventure book, in audio format! (Website: https://www.earplay.com/)Earplay is available on smart speakers and voice assistant-enabled devices, for both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. There's also a standalone iOS app on the ap
 p store. Enabling the Earplay platform is free, and all of our demos and preview content are free as well. We'll be adding purchasable longform content, stories that will keep you audio adventuring for HOURS, in the next couple of months!We're just getting started, so feedback from people who're longtime enthusiasts of audio games would be truly invaluable. If really engaging, roleplay-style narratives are your jam, try out a new kind of audio game with us, and let's build a brand new medium together!Here's our website URL again: https://www.earplay.com/We're also trying to get a reddit community started for interactive audio fans, so feel free to head in there and share links to your other favorite audio games. The rules are pretty lax so far.  http://reddit
 .com/r/earplayIf you're having trouble getting Earplay launched just reply here, or email me at rac...@earplay.com, and I'll help ya out! Thanks for listening. <3
