The game is still up on kickstarter, and won't be out until June.  The 
kickstarter campaign ends in a bit less than a week.

Along with a small band of allies, you must explore the surrounding lands,

Do you have what it takes to answer a hero?s call?
Discover an expansive world, Venture forth from the town of Farhaven to

With 17 unique maps, you'll always have new lands to explore.
Follow a turn-by-turn beacon system to locations you've already discovered,

Build your characters, Choose from one of six different classes, each with
unique skills, and tailor your attributes for your specific style of play.
Will you use melee or ranged weapons?
Will you strike down your opponents with the power of the elements? Or will
you attack from the shadows?
Will you heal and defend with holy magic?
Or strike terror with the powers of necromancy?
Expand your party with four unique allies.
Engage with a dynamic world, Meet over 40 NonPlayer characters, with
dynamic behaviors and dialogues affected by your choices and actions.
Some will fight alongside you, while others may have secrets to reveal.
Test your might as you explore and encounter over 70 different enemies,
from bandits and wolves to giant spiders, golems, and dragons,
you will never be lacking for foes to vanquish.
Turn-based combat provides comfort for players of all skill levels,
while positional audio puts you in the center of visceral, action-packed

Re: [Audyssey] A Hero's Call, an Accessible Windows game Under development.

[Clement Chou]

Paul, you have a good point. I think it's important to note, though,
that this isn't exactly a role reversal... the developers have been
transparent about making this inclusive from the very beginning, so
luckily, it's not an audiogame first with graphics slapped on... it
was designed from the beginning to involve sighted players as well as
those who would play it audio only, which I think is awesome.
Ah, thanks for the tip Chris. Wish I'd've known that before a lot of
the good rewards ran out! hehe. But this doesn't change the amount I
am going to pledge, as I fully believe in what this company is trying
to do.

Ah good point, it would be interesting to know how much detail will go into
the graphics since it seems quite a big and deep game and I imagine  coding
graphics to it would be a seriously big task since it was designed for the
blind  in an audio setting.  The interesting thing will be the role reversal
of what is often talked about on here which is how difficult is it to
convert a sighted game to a visual game, as now this company is trying the
exact opposite and trying to make an audio game accessible to the sighted, I
wonder if that in itself is just as big a task. Either way it will be
interesting to see the final result and I'm seriously looking forward to
trying this game

Not many hybrid games have been made.
Bar sonnar the only ones made that had any success were the blind eye, 
first demonstration of 3d audio and teraformas which while there are 
some issues shows you what one of these should be like.

Sonnar is doing a lot of this sort of thing but we will see what is next.

Re: [Audyssey] A Hero's Call, an Accessible Windows game Under development.

[Clement Chou]

for the record, this game is actually going to have graphics so
calling it an audiogame is a bit of a misnomer. haha. This company is
doing what I consider to be an amazing thing in trying to include
blind and sighted gamers at the same time, and the focus on graphics
is a good step in bridging the gap between the two. Inclusive gaming
is an amazing idea, and is long overdue in my opinion. I will pledge
as well, next week, after I'm able to pay again. lol

Re: [Audyssey] A Hero's Call, an Accessible Windows game Under development.

[Paul Lemm]

Just listened to the trailer for this and it sounds amazing! Pledged
straight away and really looking forward to trying out the game when it's
ready. anyone who hasn't already checked out the trailer, go have a listen
to it at the link in the email below, it really is something special, it
sounds like you're listening to a main stream game trailer but its an audio
game, really can't wait to play this.

Thanks Phil by the way for sharing the info and links.

Re: [Audyssey] A Hero's Call, an Accessible Windows game Under development.

[Justin Jones]

I took a quick look around the web site, but only saw the trailer and
a link to the kickstarter page. Do they do a guided demo of the game?
What I mean, is there someone playing the game while the developer
explains things here and there?

So, regarding the movement system, is it similar to Manamon's, i.e.
pushing the up arrow moves the character north, the left arrow moves
west, and so on? How does it actually work? The movement, I mean?

What about random encounters? How long are they making the game? If
you cannot answer these questions, then fair enough, but I am probably
going to contribute, but want to know what I am getting into.

It does have sound and music, which will be expanded, due to the success of
the kickstarter campaign.  There is full keyboard movement, and there may
be mouse, I haven't tried it and can't remember if they've implemented it.

A question for those who have tested the game: how is movement handled
in the game? Is it mouse and keyboard driven? Just keyboard driven?

Hi,

Is this game at the level of demo yet?

Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] A Hero's Call, an Accessible Windows game Under development.

[Christopher Bartlett]

I'm a tester for this game and have followed its development for over a
year.  Without giving away any trade secrets, I can say that the controls
are quite intuitive, and the number of options scales with the advancement
of the characters, so that at the beginning you have a manageable number of
choices, while further on, there are more complex things you can do.  The
devs have also included in-game tutorial text that is quite good at
teaching you the basics, while leaving plenty of scope for you to discover
little tricks of your own.
As I said, I've been testing this game and would likely have received a
copy when all was said and done, but I am sufficiently pleased with the
product, and even more with the willingness of the devs to respond to
feedback, and even add new features as an experiment that I have backed
this project at a significant level.

Re: [Audyssey] A Hero's Call, an Accessible Windows game Under development.

[Michael Feir]

If you go to outofsightgames.com and look through the audio demos or look
at the channel of out of sight games on Youtube, there are demos for
equipment, radar, and a full quest demo. I believe they're working on more
to post. I'd go ahead and contribute. This game's going to be huge and the
extras for Kickstarter backers are pretty nice. Discussion over how such a
game could be made has gone on as long as Audyssey Magazine and the blind
gaming community has existed. Now, it's actually being created. What a
grand start to 2017.  The devs seem very responsive to questions and a bit
stunned by the intense interest their project has received. Even better,
they experienced the kind of games we all wanted to play but couldn't due

That looks pretty damn impressive, actually. I watched the demo on
YouTube, but I still am not sure how it controls. That is what is
making me hesitate to contribute to the game.

Subject: [Audyssey] A Hero's Call, an Accessible Windows game Under
development.

A Hero's Call, from Out of Sight Games.
An Accessible Fantasy Role Playing Game.
Under development, the premier title from Out of Sight Games,
you are a traveler thrust into a world of possibilities
when you find the city of Farhaven under attack by a mysterious enemy.
Along with a small band of allies, you must explore the surrounding lands,
discover the identity of your enigmatic foe, and save Farhaven from certain 
conquest.
Do you have what it takes to answer a hero?s call?
Discover an expansive world, Venture forth from the town of Farhaven to 
explore mysterious forests, goblin-infested tunnels, haunted catacombs, and 
much
more.
With 17 unique maps, you'll always have new lands to explore.
Follow a turn-by-turn beacon system to locations you've already discovered,
or venture out on your own, you never know what you might find!
Build your characters, Choose from one of six different classes, each with 
unique skills, and tailor your attributes for your specific style of play.
Will you use melee or ranged weapons?
Will you strike down your opponents with the power of the elements? Or will 
you attack from the shadows?
Will you heal and defend with holy magic?
Or strike terror with the powers of necromancy?
Expand your party with four unique allies.
Engage with a dynamic world, Meet over 40 NonPlayer characters, with dynamic

behaviors and dialogues affected by your choices and actions.
Some will fight alongside you, while others may have secrets to reveal.
Test your might as you explore and encounter over 70 different enemies,
from bandits and wolves to giant spiders, golems, and dragons,
you will never be lacking for foes to vanquish.
Turn-based combat provides comfort for players of all skill levels,
while positional audio puts you in the center of visceral, action-packed 
battles.
