hope we can have more games like AudioWizards

Aw is so basic. I'm tired of the simplistic junk. Please no more.

Looking forward to the next update <big smile>

This company had a less "basic" game in the works before Audio Wizards, but the blind community dropped trow and poop juiced all over the demo they released. So now we have Audio Wizards, which despite its basicness has been doing quite well for itself. And that's too bad, because despite a few shortcomings, the idea behind their previous project, Gold Gun was an interesting one. If you're looking for something else interesting, you should check out the kickstarter for the upcoming Pitch Black, or Code 7 for the PC or Mac, which really is something special.

Hello all wizards,
I'm stuck right now, playing this game for the first time. In story mode, I've been stuck at the last level for a while now, just quite a few hours today--first time playing. I can't seem to defeat this Principal person, so how do you do it and keep your iPhone from going into the control center/notifications pane? that's what mine does when I move fast through the magical elements. I have the option turned off in settings to show the control center during open apps, but it sometimes still launches somehow/notifications does too. anyone have any ideas on beating this guy? Yes, I like the game, too/was worth its money.

This is, frankly, infuriating. I did see the Gold Gun game briefly and I would have considered paying for it had there been a little more to get from it. But why? Seriously, and this is just my opinion but why do blind folks seem to go for the simplistic stuff so frequently? We deserve more. We deserve games that don't feel like they are just loose copies of other games.
I'm not saying Audio Wizards is, by any stretch, but I will say it's not my genre. But you know what? That's okay. It's the first fantasy genre audio game I have seen. So it's not filling a nitch that has been milked to death, unlike all the other card and dice games we seem to have.

Again, I hold no ill will towards the AW devs. I just wish we had more games with the depth of, say, Six Ages, instead of the depth of Space Encounters or Nebula.

That's the simplest reason. I'm with you. As a mainstream gamer, I'm severely underwhelmed by most audio games I play. But remember that games with depth take a lot of creativity and resources to make, and while the pool of audio gamers isn't that shallow, it's still shallow enough that going in-depth doesn't always pan out. Some games are more. Like I've always said, Code 7 is one of the better games out there. Though it's not primarily an audio game, it is accessible to both blind and sighted. A Hero's call was something more in-depth also. And Pitch Black and The Girl who Sold the World look like they will be something special also. Consider MyTrueSounde is a small developer - which they are. They tried with something more interesting, and again, the community tore them apart. Slightly with kind of good reason, but mostly not. So now they've done a step back with Audio Wizards, and despite its simplicity, it's been very well-received if comments around here are any indication. Yeah, the story is over relatively quickly and is a little bear bones, but this game wasn't exactly touted as a narrative experience. I think it accomplished everything it set out to. Gameplay is relatively simplistic, but it is challenging for many people and has the potential to be expanded upon. They also got the blind community involved with music, and even paid people to create for it. That turned out very well. You're not stuck with text-to-speech for the voice acting either. As one of the voice actors myself - the Principal - I can tell you I took it seriously and gave my all in the performance, because in lots of audio games, Voice acting is ... pretty rough. Hopefully we'll see something more in-depth from Mytruesound one day. Until then, Remember that lots of audio games are created by one person, or maybe a small team with limited resources and likely an even more limited return for all their hard work.

Are we seriously expected to boycott anything simplistic, sit on our behinds, cry and wait until someone has figured out how to make the perfect game for all? I think not. Now why not some of you may ask? Simply because the word all doesn't exist. Nothing ever appeals to all. I can say for a fact that neither king of dragon pass, nor 6 ages Appeals to me for example. I'll be waiting for that game, but until then i'll enjoy what i can.

I wanted to share, that I ‘purposefully” bought Audio Wizards for my ‘Galaxy S10E” first, because at least when it comes to the blind community, more developers prefer supporting IOS first, or ‘only” for IOS. In many ways, devs continue to believe that programming/creating audio games for Android take more time to do. Me wonders if the folks at ‘My True Sound” could expand on how they developed the Android version if they can. Either here, or on a future ‘Blind Bargains” podcast or something.

PS. I will be buying Audio Wizards again, though for my IPhone 11 once I get it next year. Typing this on my IPad Mini 5th gen.

Sorry for going slightly off topic, but was wondering if it's possible to submit to the app store, then when it gets approved, all the developer would have to do on a certain date is to flip a switch.

Is something like that even possible? this way you can quietly submit your app to the app store, it would then get reviewed by apple, then it would be up to the developer to push a button at their end and make the update go live.

Hello everyone! Thanks for all the questions and the support you've been giving us in this thread. I turn my back once and suddenly the discussion is over 20 responses long haha!

Anyhow, just like David from myTrueSound account answered you, we have started to plan out a bigger announcement regarding all the stuff happening behind scenes here with AudioWizards devs and what are we planning for the future once the update hits live. Also, a double confirmation that the update will be 100% free!

I'll try to keep a closer eye to this the thread now that the topic is getting hot so keep them questions coming. Also, I suggest that if you haven't tried AudioWizards yet there could soon be a good chance to test it out so stay tuned.

Hey ming! Sorry for the late reply.

We are proud to announce that the update is about to be launched so hang on just a little longer! We'll make an official announcement here and every other place we are active once the update hits the stores.This should happen before Sunday.

Yes! The update includes a short side-story titled: Saundaman is Missing as well as few more unlockable hats for the Endless Mode. There are also some bug-fixes that didn't make it in the last patch.
