I personally agree with the pricing of the games you mentioned, Tom, but not all developers offer quite as much gameplay for the buck as, for example, you or David Greenwood, and not all games are that cheap. Also, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, comparing any of our games to a studio title

The thing to remember is that we can afford any of the audiogames. In my humble opinion, and I refuse point blank to point fingers or accept the blame for others' finger pointing, some people have charged more than I feel is reasonable for their games, especially when you consider how much

Hi Dakotah, As to your point about a survey that is something I've been planning to do for Audyssey. The only issue is I'm currently tied up working on my own game projects right now and let the survey slide. However, I'll try to find a bit of time to write a survey form and post it for people to

Also, the audiogame genre is growing outside the VI community. Many app developers are starting to consider the value of making audiogames or in making games that have extensive audio interfaces, a sort of audiogame videogame hybrid, where both are equally important, hence my push to try to make

Hi Tom, Dark, and developers, Tom, I was just curious to know how many people are subscribed to this list. It would give me a bit more of an idea about the size of the audio gaming community. Dark, I noticed that forum.audiogames.net states there are 12,762 registered users. I wonder if this

Hi Ian, Well, the number of members who are subscribed to the Audyssey list generally is about 300 give or take a few. In the six years or so since I have been moderating the list sometimes it has been as low as 280 and as high as 320 per month. It just depends on how many subscribe and

In regards to finding out a little more about who games and how many are out there. I would suggest creating a survey page, and transmitting it on Twitter and other social networks. You would be very surprised how quickly it gets out there, and how many people will respond. Just a suggestion,

Thanks to all who responded. Interesting to hear the size of this list and especially interesting to hear that 3600 number for Swamp. It shows that there are a good number of players out there even if we can't count on that number to purchase a game. Much appreciated. Ian Reed --- Gamers
