[Closed] Coming soon - The Circus Masters Revenge

I agree. He is a developer, a new one that is. His game is going to be great.. Show some bloody respect! Oi!

This is amazing! But wait, the death sound is missing, well, I should say 2sounds, death sound and then the body hitting the ground, or something. But otherwise great sound!! The gun might need to be a bit more good quality but it's good.

yes I know, I am sorry , I just remind you because I care about the future of your project.
I am also excited for this game because I haven't play audio defence before.
I hope it will be a success.
now, time for some Sneak peeking :)

Hi this is going to be so much fun to play I cannot wait!!!

I can’t wait to play this game.

I'm trying to get some of my friends so they can donate to the kickstarter if they have enough money. I would donate $10, but that wouldn't be enough, like $9000 would be nice right now. But I don't have that much. I would even donate $1000 to you!!

First of all, never rely on the blind community in general to help you financially. It is naive to think most of the blind community will bother putting their hands into their pockets if it can be avoided. Two traits seem to dominate the blind community, self-entitlement and poor money management skills, assuming they have any money to manage in the first place.

Second, it is unwise to give your game away. It's a good idea to offer a free trial, but you shouldn't allow unlimited play for free if you hope to recoop your investment. But, if you don't mind flushing your money down the toilet, by all means, allow unlimited free gameplay. I strongly believe the biggest mistake Something Else made was to practically give their games away, the games were worth a hell of a lot more than they charged for them.

Third, I'll reiterate what another poster said by pointing out that if you want people to trust you with their money, you must project confidence, and that isn't done by expressing frustration or disappointment. Being a new developer is no excuse for unprofessional behavior, despite what other posters think. A first time developer can be excused for producing a less than steller initial product, but not for acting like a petulant child when things don't go the way they hope.

All that said, should the game actually make it to market, I will of course consider purchasing it, but I will not even briefly entertain the idea of backing a project led by someone who displays such a lack of confidence and blames their unprofessional behavior on being a first time developer.

I just donated $100, but I don't think that is enough yet.

I can’t wait for this game!

lol ValrunsCali, you're not the first to consider how I express myself as rudeness, and you sure as hell won't be the last.

Like you, I don't personally know the kind of people I refered to, but I know of them through people I trust. Just because you don't know about something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I can point to Something Else's failure to fully fund its Audio Defence game and a recent request by another user on here for a free monopoly game as evidence for my claim that many members of the blind community are tight fisted. For evidence of poor money management skills, I'm sure, with some effort, you could find more than one or two go fund me campaigns created by blind people who need to pay bills or buy food, but were somehow able to afford the recent purchase of an iOS device or an expensive Aira subscription. As for self-entitlement? I can point to the numerous suggestions or demands made that Apple reject all inaccessible apps, regardless of how difficult it might be to implement good accessibility.

Now, for some nitpicking. My qualification was important because my information is based on my perception, the perceptions of those I know, and opinions expressed by prominant members of the blind community, not an attempt to escape criticism, as you so ineloquently suggest. There's a difference between what "seems" to be true and what "is" true. I qualified my statement with "seems" because unlike a lot of people, I wasn't prepared to present my opinion as absolute truth. Indeed, it's entirely possible that most blind people are good money managers and aren't self-entitled, but it's equally possible that the opposite is true. It's impossible to know with absolute certainty which is true, but the perceptions of myself, and others I know, lean toward the latter.

I'm unsure if this project is still going on or not. last I heard the funding goal wasn't reached. Developing this kind of game isn't cheep. with the kind of fund I saw on the GoFundMe page, and the amount donated, I don't know if the game will get what it needs to get off the ground at present. If it does I''ll be very pleasantly surprised indeed.

Hi thanks so much for continuing to develop CMR Keep up the good work.

Wow! What an amazing podcast! Keep being handycapable!

hello every one@ I am a blind gamer. I am wayting for this ausam game! i have never played night jar, or audio difence. so I am so glad that you are doing this fantastic jobb! i woo like to thanks to all blind gamers for making the game world mor accesible. and when is this game is comeing?

This is going to be exciting, I can tell you right now I am so excited to get my hands on it when it comes out.

Hello, I am a huge fan of audio games! I really loved all of the games by Somethin’ Else, especially the two Papa Sangre games and Audio Defense. I would love to be one of your beta testers for this game. My email address is:

Kimbosee@aol.com

Thanks and good luck preparing the game for testing.

when is this released?

If this game actually gets released, assuming that testing and funding goes well, I'll be both pleasantly surprised and quite pleased. I say if because, well, things can happen to ground a project. Assuming nothing does happen though, I'll be grabbing this if it comes to the app store.

I know this is going to be a beta release, but hopefully the death sounds for the people are there. Oooo, I am so excited to kill clowns and other performers.

I can’t wait to test this game it’s going to be so much fun

This article is disgusting. It is a combination of underestimating the blind, concocting wild and misinformation-filled conspiracy theories, and over-exaggerating things. This does not seem to be a mainstream publication. The fact that they ask how Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder made music like they did is náive and just sickening. I think we should try and report this person who wrote this! (Sorry for being off-topic.)

I don't know why are some kind of people making this thing?

That article makes us seem like monsters

lol You can't be serious. Apparently, Joseppie was the only one who seems to have realized that The Onion is a publisher of satire, not news. If the piece is read as satire, as it is intended, it is actually a pretty funny piece. We have to be able to laugh at ourselves from time to time.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go bludgeon some noisy workers with my white stick of sightlessness. Vive la révolution!

Thanks for posting this article. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.

I don't know how anyone could take that article seriously and think it was real journalism, though actually the first time I read an article from that site it took me in but was a bit more believable. also though I don't see the relevance of this article to the topic. though actually on the subject of this topic, I do worry that people are going to be very disappointed that they are hyping themselves up for some totally amazing game which will never be able to live up to all the expectations and anticipation, that if it does come out it will be a 5 minute wonder people will say this is an interesting game then people will lose interest as happens with most other audio games that come out. either that or it might get a few updates then nothing as I think it must be very difficult for developers to break even let alone make a profit. also, isn't this really just hoping to be a clone of audio defence just using different sounds and storyline? if it does come out I will wait for the reviews as I must admit the storyline doesn't really grab my attention at least what we have heard of it so far, but I will keep an open mind if it comes out and wait to see what others have to say about it.
I know the developer is keen to bring the game out but I do wonder if it will ever come out and if he is more of a dreamer hoping his project will be completed as I mean this topic is quite old already, though of course hopefully he does get to finish his dream. but mostly all the topic consists of is people saying I want to test the game, I think its going to be amazing etc with not two much concrete information.

Watch out, world! We, the blind people, are coming to get you. LOL.
This is a very funny article. I have truly enjoyed it.
I think this is a very ingenious peace. Congratulations to the writer.
This is only a very humorous article. Nobody should feel offended by it. on the contrary, smile and enjoy it.
It is very hilarious. I will share it with my friends and I am sure they will laugh, too.
Peace.
:-)

again this isn't relevant to the topic in question, I don't see why it was posted in the first place given that applevis is for discussion of apple products, I wonder if it was posted with the aim of getting more traffic and discussion on this topic and keeping a dead horse alive so to speak. given that the developer hosts a blog maybe that would have been a more appropriate place for the post. But to return to the topic of the actual game I will certainly be interested to see what people have to say about it if it does come out then depending on what people say I will decide wether to try it etc, though I do hope it is completed as of course we could do with all the games we can get on ios, sorry for being skeptical I guess I am just realistic, though I would be very happy to be proved wrong and for this game to be very successful.

I would probably have never read this if it wasn't posted. For that reason alone, I am glad it was posted. To think it was published in 1996, according to the article itself.
