Help us improve accessibility of our game Idle Crafting Kingdom

Me again! Now that I'm getting into higher priced items, I'm finding the way the figures have been written sometimes gets me confused, because voiceover doesn't read it properly, meaning it reads literal figures rather than words. For example, if an item is priced at five million gold coins, and no, I don't have anywhere near that much yet, it reads the figure as five zero zero zero zero zero zero gold coins. If the figure was written like this: 5,000,000, I can't read the individual characters, but I'm assuming it's written now as 5000000, then we'd get it as five million.

This is just a little thing, and I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, maybe it's just me, but when I see so many zeros and I don't have a way to actually review a piece of the text character by character, I get confused sometimes, I'm not sure whether I need 10,000 gold or 100,000 to unlock something, that's a heck of a difference.

One lovely touch I found since my last is the Pr... well, let's say the property which isn't a property. Did anyone else find her? If not, go look, I'm not spoiling it for you, but that is a really cool feature! And, I've just seen about the update being in review, thank you for being so on the double with that, I cannot wait!

I am using an iphone 5s and i am having lag issues. I can navigate around the main menu with difficulty but double tapping acmomplishes nothing.

I can't wait for the other version. I hope it fixes the lag issue because my fingers are really hurting. lol

I have waited what seems like forever, for a game that involves building and crafting, and no combat.
Thanks so much to the developers for including VoiceOver users.
I have the same lag issues like everybody else, but with a lot of patience, I am slowly getting the game to work.
When that lag is fixed, this game is going to be golden!

I agree with Lulu Hartgen. This game is awesome. And the only casino game I enjoy playing is fruitpot by Eduardo. In the future I would like to see more business style games like this one and café or restaurant games. Maverick games are dieing and none of their games are close to anything like this.

Hi all,

I heard this game was looking for testers? My friend got in and suggested I come here to ask for an invite. I use an iPhone 7 so I'd like to provide feedback on this game. My email is orin8722@gmail.com for use with TestFlight.

Also, how is that cooking management game coming along?

I am using an iPhone 6s, and I can swipe to the Play button, but when I double tap on it, nothing happens.

If the double tapping on the play button doesn't work put a little more force on it and it will work. Sometimes I tap on different things and nothing happens and I have to add more force to the tap.

Hello,
Has anyone else experienced getting an error message saying We're sorry there are no videos to play right now. Please try again later.? I received this message last night trying to get a boost. I was able to watch videos again after some time.
Thank you,
JoAnn

I never got that error message. That could happen if the videos are taking time to load.

Hello,

I have been playing your game for some time now. I think it is a grate game! I do have a suggestion... I hope you do not mind it. I had some help getting more production slots in the game from someone whom has some vision. I've discovered that the more slots you have the more you have to press "Produce" for each slot.

My suggestion is... would it be possible to add a single "Produce" button for multiple production slots that are automated? Lets say for more then 10 production slots that have the automate upgrade unlocked? Thank you so much for your time and consideration. On a side note the button to purchase more production slots is still hidden with VoiceOver enabled... even when there are more then one production slots purchased. I am running version 1.0 of Crafting Kingdoms on an iPhone SE 64GB and iOS version 10.2.1.

Yours, Yokose

Hello Michelle,

I like both ideas. I was going to suggest the first option... but now that I've thought about it, it's hard to advise.

The first option would simplify things for large numbers of production slots... I think.

The second option is grate as well. my only concern is that when I swipe down, I like seeing for example... "Production Slot one, Logs", "Production Slot two, Timber", and so on. If one can swipe down and still see that first, then a swipe right to the produce button to produce the material, that would be awesome! Just so I know that I am understanding though...if I for example had 6 production slots in my Lumber Yard... I should see "Production Slot one, Logs" as I swipe down to the first production slot, then a swipe right would bring me to the "Produce" button, right? After starting the production another swipe down would bring me to "Production Slot two, Timber", then a swipe right would bring me to the "Produce" button for that production slot, and so on, correct? If that is the case, then that would make things easier I think.

Both ideas are grate as I said... I like them both. if I had to choose though, I think I would go with the first option. Thanks so much for your time!

Yours, Yokose

That would be great if the update goes through soon, it would make playing the game a lot better, considering it will flow nicely. As for the suggestions regarding automations and production buttons, I definitely like the sound of that.

When I open the gift or reward, how do I make it active? Do I have to restart the game every time? I'm asking because when I opened the gift it said 4% higher I think but when I clicked on sell the price was still the same.

Okay. I was wondering about it. I just restored the game because I completed all the quest. It was hard to sell 5000 logs and I was trying to activate to make the lumber yard go 10 times faster but I wasn't sure what was happening.

I did get the beta version of this game to play. However, I notice the self voiced tts it is using does not honor my speech settings. Specifically, its very slow. Is there any way, either in the app settings or in ios settings itself, to change that?

Well, mainly that I didn't realize it *could* be played with voiceover on, so it was just switching to the system voice. :) user error, as usual.

I downloaded the update and when I opened it I hear the voiceover click for when something is about to open and then it says double tap to open. I do it a few times and I still can't get to open it. I cleared the memory and closed the game from the ap switcher and still nothing. I restarted the phone and when it still didn't work I deleted and redownloaded and I'm not getting to play. I'm using an Iphone 4s running ios 9.3.5. If I can't get to play the game I will have to wait till maybe next week when I change my phone.

If you are still looking for beta testers for this, you can add me at jordanandseptember@gmail.com

I finally got the Play button to work after a few tries. I find the game to be a little sluggish and clunky, but it is playable and enjoyable. One question. How do you add more production slots at the lumber mill?

I just want to add my voice and saying thank you so much for making such a great accessible game. The fact that you have reached out to the applevis Community to gain feedback and suggestions is really appreciated. by the way if you are after any more baiter testers, you can add me at tristanhodson82@gmail.com
thank you so much again.

Hello Michelle. First of all, I, too, wish to add my thanks for making an accessible game. I really like the concept of building a world like this.
 
I like the suggestions posted here, in the discussion with Yocose, with regard to the production slots, specifically number two.
 
As far as the update is concerned, I still see too much Voiceover lag time; better, but needs improvement.

One question... I have read in this forum that it's required to quit the game sometimes to lock in some things. does this simply mean to use the new Quit Game on the main menu screen or something else?

Keep the updates coming.

Ok...? This is strange. I just updated this game and... It won't ipen. I hear the confirmation sound when I double tap it, followed by the two tones meaning its opening, but after that, it just says crafting kingdom again, on the home screen.

Hi, this game seems like it has lots of potential to keep me occupied for ours, a few questions, is the game actually winnable or is it open ended so I can play as long as I want? and are there ways to extend the lengths of time boosts and automations are active for?
on the subject of automations I have noticed that when I use the produce button when an automation is active the time before the automation runs out goes back up, is this a bug or intentional?

I'm having the same problem with the game. Its not opening.

Wow, was I ever glad to see this update! Thank you so much for it! Here are my comments, now I've been playing for a few hours.

The lag is better, could be better still, but it's better. Main menu is heaps better, that works for me like a charm now. Production slots, oh wow, isn't it great to be able to have my properties produce more than one thing! But, no gain without pain, right? I'm leaping about like a headless chicken, pressing buttons to refresh automations, even though I do try to start everything around the same time. That quest refresh all reward button would be soooo cool! Just please, don't make it too hard to get hold of or my hands are going to fall off!

The treasure chest is way easier to get, thanks for that. I still have problems with focus, especially in world map, so having the chest stay around is making life easier.

Swiping up and down to get to production slots or items in city is a great thing, but care is needed, focus does tend to jump rather eratically when doing this if you deviate even a little from a dead straight line.

One thought I did have: when looking at items in city, I often want to quickly check real fast how much of stuff I have. At present I'd swipe down from logs, say, and it would say timber, but then I'd have to swipe right once to tell me how many I have. Sometimes I can get down ok to the next thing, but more often I lose focus and end up on a sell button I don't want to be at. I'm wondering if we could have the number right by the product name so we could see how many we have without having to swipe right. This would let us check down a long list of products real fast on the fly with just up and down swipes, and only have to swipe right if we need to sell any.

Once more, thanks so much for this truly addictive and great game, for making it accessible and for the great update.

Loving this game.

I, too, had been hoping for an accessible construction type game that didn't have the combat element that Celtic Tribes or Lords&Knights have. This reminds me vaguely of another accessible game called "Dragons" that had a similar concept where you had to start over to get a boost to the next run of the game - but Crafting Kingdom is worlds more in-depth and a lot more fun from what I can see so far.

I did have that original issue with not being able to play since I have an iPhone 7, but finally have been able to play starting today once the update got downloaded/installed.

So far the only oddity/strangenesses I've noticed:
- When I double tap on something, like the Lumber Yard, I have a hard time telling right away that I successfully got to the new page without swiping around. I'm not sure if I'm missing some sort of sound effect when a new page opens that is normally there on other IOS apps ... but it's sort of a minor thing.
- I do miss not being able to use the rotor and switch to being able to navigate by word or letter, but this is similarily another minor thing.

I'm amazed that a Unity game is playable at all and am heartened to hear that this plugin is now available - maybe more apps will take the plunge in making their games accessible!

Also, I'd be fine with being a beta tester if you like. My email is livdera@gmail.com.

I uninstalled the game and already lost the progress. I'm not sure if I could beta test but if the new update comes I could always try it out because I'm not sure what day I'm changing my phone. I will have to wipe this one out completely.
