Hi:

Could you please provide the sound pack for the game? I'm going to attempt to make a podcast on the game.

By KE7ZUM on Monday, October 21, 2019 - 11:41

Is the crashing at the first boss fixed at the time of this posting? I kind of can't continue with the game as of yet.

By ming on Monday, October 21, 2019 - 11:41

yeah
I would like to have the online playing mode as well.
looking forward the next update!

Hi iAndroidOS

Yes, you can get the sounds to make a podcast. Some of them can be download at https://www.mytruesound.com/aw-presskit, but if you need more, send us an email to audiowizards@mytruesound.com with the list of sounds you want, and we will send them on a dropbox or similar.

We really appreciate all the help people is giving to spread the word about the game. I really believe that one of the good things about gaming is the possibility to talk with a friend about something both like, or share with a friend knowledge about a friend you liked and think is worth recommending. So yeah, it can be a good time to call friends or share in social media knowledge about gaming. It would be lovely if we could really keep doing games, because to be honest, we are enjoying it.

Hi KE7ZUM
I know we have talked about that, but now your message has been lost on my list of things to do but never done. I'm sorry about that. We have had very few crashes, and most of them have been on pixel phones. We are bringing an update, but not as soon as we thought originally, because the team behind the game started a new school year and they got a bit busy. Most probably 2 weeks, 3 maximum. But I suppose you don't want to wait that long. Did you try to uninstall and install the game again? App Store should not ask you more money, but if it does, you let me know and I refund you. Other possibility, is that you make a video of the crash moment you experience. Anyhow, don't hesitate to be on direct contact with the team through our email audiowizards@mytruesound.com. Perhaps that is the best way. Regards, and again I'm sorry about this. And for sure, if you don't get to play, we refund and will find a way to compensate our error.

Hi Slaughter
There are a couple of hats which are a bit tricky, and perhaps as you mentioned in the Hats topic (i added the link below if someone didn't notice it), there might be a bug when you get over 57 stars. That sure will be fixed in the update.

and here again the list of hats

By KE7ZUM on Monday, October 21, 2019 - 11:41

Don't worry about it. I'll try a reinstall and try and make a video o the crash, assuming my equipment works. Lol! We'll see what happens. The game rocks.

I don't think I have the sys diag anymore as I removed it. Oops? We'll see what happens. I'll contact you all via email if I'm having trouble.

Hi KE7ZUM
I checked at your video, and now I passed it to the team. I hope they can react soon to it. I will DM you as soon as they tell something.
Thank you for taking the time to do the video.
Regards
david

Tuning in to answer some questions and concerns. Before that however we are overly joyed that the thread is still going strong and that people are actively talking about the opinions. Thank you!

@KE7ZUM Thanks for the video. We'll do our best to find the issue that causes the crash and do our best to fix it in the next update.

@ming Our next update will focus mostly on fixes and quality of life improvements. Once they are out of the way, we can focus on improving the game. We will, if everything goes according to the plan, reveal something big tomorrow here and other places. I won't reveal too much about it yet but it's related to the game's future in a familiar way. We'll most likely make a new thread about it so stay tuned!

By ming on Monday, October 21, 2019 - 11:41

I hope in the futures
the story will be more strenthen and more!
and it will have multi online battle!

By Rhymers on Monday, October 21, 2019 - 11:41

This game is fun and actually has a story, which I really like. I’ve got the problem of running up against the touch strips, but I’ll try smaller swipes.
The devs did a good job with this game.

By David Standen on Thursday, November 21, 2019 - 11:41

I just changed to a new iPhone and lost my game progress. That's another story. When I reach level 5, no matter how I defeat the "small cute one", I always seem to receive 2 stars instead of 3, despite not making any mistakes. Has anyone new to the game noticed this?

By Hunter on Thursday, November 21, 2019 - 11:41

I don‘t understand, how to get 3 Stars in Level 24
I used the superspell and the Saundermans don‘t hit me.
But I have just 3 Stars.
Can someone help me?

There is a multi-player version coming to this game, and I think there are people who are beta testing it as of the writing of this post. However, I don't actually know what the multi-player version will have in it. It's something you might have to ask someone about or research.

By David Standen on Wednesday, October 21, 2020 - 11:41

I was just curious if audio wizards is going to be updated? Unfortunately, it is unplayable in IOS 14 with Voiceover. When the game launches, double tapping on the "play game" button doesn't work. "Direct touch area" is announced when I place my finger anywhere on the screen. I enabled screen recognition but this didn't work either, as Voiceover just read everything which was on the screen and double tapping didn't work. It would be such a shame if there are no forthcoming updates as I think a lot of us would still enjoy playing this game.

By kool_turk on Wednesday, October 21, 2020 - 11:41

It works, it's a little tricky to get working.

When you tap on the screen it will say direct touch area.

What you have to do then is use your rotor, I have mine set to two finger swipes left and right for convenience.

Find direct touch in your rotor then flick down to turn it on.

We are not going to update AudioWizards with new levels, at least for now since all our energy is on new project Kilta, and in what I will tell now. We are working in a multiplayer version of AudioWizards for PC. The game is a typical first person shooter, fully accessible. Includes visuals and audio, and our goal is to adjust the visuals and audio in such way that blind and non-blind players have the same level of fun and difficulty.
We did a previous version last spring, which was beta-tested. This autumn we got new blood to work on the game and they decided to ignore previous work and start from scratch with a new concept, or with at least, new code and system. The team is well balanced, and we should have a prototype ready by the end of february 2021.
The best way to follow that development, in case you feel like, is following our twitter account @audiowizards, and also visiting the audiogames.net site. Sure, our website and facebook site also update from time to time.
We are not sure how much would be allowed to post in AppleVis about this game, since the game is going to be for PC, and at this moment we don't know how playable it will be for Mac. We have to verify that cross-platform issue before it is justified for us posting here about that new game.

By ming on Sunday, February 21, 2021 - 11:41

can we know more about Kilta?
what type of games it will be?
or what kinds of game it is?

Ai feel like this game missed a bit of back story. What made Retory go to the dark side?😂

to do this use the rotor until VoiceOver says direct touch then swipe up to turn it on then VoiceOver should read The screen.

By Use Small Words on Monday, June 21, 2021 - 11:41

is there any way that the width of the screen could be expanded as I'm having trouble casting fire and lightning spells. It might be because my swipes are too large but I think expanding the width of the play area on the screen would help a lot of people who make really big swipe movements up and down.

Hi and thanks for keeping playing audiowizards. I think is a classic already : )
we stopped working on it, and we are working now all full-in, in a project called Kilta. Still we didn't get accessible playable version there, but when we have then i will tell. Therefore, we have not hands to make that change in screen. I believe though that you will find a way to adjust your way to cast and swipe and that you can play the game until the end. It is challenging game with a wonderful story and voice acting. Let me know how it goes and what you think at the end of the game. Regards,david

it might be something you could look at if you ever come back to it. I look forward to your next game.

By Unregistered User (not verified) on Friday, January 21, 2022 - 11:41

Hi Ming.
We are not planning to update the game with newer content, but it wouldn't be impossible. The same guys who did it are still around the house, and so we know technically is possible. We never got much sells from the game to support newer work, and that is the reason. We also had to abandon the Multiplayer version of the game. It ate too many resources and we didn't see its business potential to continue investing of it.
Luckily, we have moved forward with our project Kilta. It is an auto battler and strategy and RPG components. After 1 year in early access, we are officially launching the game in 2-3 months, and if all goes well, it will be accessible. We didn't test yet what will be the experience, but at least it will be playable for players with no sight during the spring. Being an indie studio with no funds is pretty hard. Hope it all goes well.

By ming on Friday, January 21, 2022 - 11:41

yes.
Kilta. that is game I am looking forward to it.
