Greetings, everybody!
I am working on a game called Voice of the Ancients (VotA). In this game, you are looking for an ancient treasure while you are trying to escape from an evil organization, called Society of the Ancients.
VotA is totally voice-based adventure game, currently supporting english and hungarian languages.
If you want to try a one-level preview, you can install the game from this link:

I really appreciate any feedback you can provide.
In case of any problems or if you need any support, feel free to contact me. My email address is peter.sallai@gmail.com.
Best regards,
Sasa

Did you lock yourself in the room, perhaps?
Hello,
Did you lock yourselv in the room you were exploring? I did this in level three, and I had to start over. The door was closed, and I couldn't open it. Is it still having trouble understanding you? I really with this were a text-based game where you just clicked on things instead. Maybe, the developer could further look at why "Sorry, but I don't understand," is still spoken.
I finished the game
And i havent found any bugs
Level number two not working
Dear Jokyboy129,
I modified the help message for this part to be more precise (Now that the floor is empty, you can investigate the rooms on the ground floor. Walk around to find the key to the cable car.) I hope it helps you next time.
Best regards,
Sasa
installed this game
I instaalled this game yesterday. it is good, and possibly the first game which voice control users can use. I find the voice commands spoken are two specific. the parts where you tell your character to get things off places are two verbos. maybe I;m missing something?
Did you lock yourself in the room, perhaps?
Dear Ashleigh,
Please tell me about the room where you were locked. Do you remember any details of it? Normally, the game has no dead-ends, so if you find one, it is a bug, and I will fix it.
Best regards,
Sasa
I finished the game
Dear Alex,
Could you help me with some details about your experience? Which was the best part of the game for you? What were the problematic parts?
Best regards,

I need help again
Hello Jokyboy129,
I checked this room, and I found a bug. I will fix it in the next content release, but in the meantime, you can go to the underground area from the library if you say "go down"

Found another bag
Hello now I need help again I’m in level three and I talk to the worker when I try to talk about the bridge the game crashes so I said goodbye and promised him to find the tools to repair the bridge now I can’t do anything I have no money to buy something I can’t catch the monkey And when I say help, it says talk to the worker and when I try to talk to him, it just tells me that they already said goodbye and I have to find the hammer and the nails
I got stuck at the maze
But i figured it out
Re: Found another bag
Dear Jokyboy129,
Thank you for your bug report. When the game crashed, could you talk about the bridge with the worker again?
I will modify the help message with the following content version. Still, you must catch the monkey in the mountain forest with a trap and a banana. If you need more help, message me in this forum, and I will give you the detailed solution.
Best regards,
Sasa
Need more help
I’ve managed to catch the monkey. But now I have a problem again.I returned to the shop and got the box of nails. But now I have no money again. And I don’t know what to do next. I’ve tried a lot, but I can’t find anything. The help message doesn’t help.
Go to the worker
He wil build the brigge
Re: Need more help
Hi Jokyboy129,
Three things are required to build the bridge:
- a rope: you can find it on the pier.
- a hammer: Mamadou gives it to you after you deliver the gun to Laura's father and offer your services to the worker.
- nails: you can buy them after you bring the monkey to the Pet dealer's child.
Best regards,
Sasa
Re: Need more help
Hi Jokyboy129,
I analyzed the code and found the possible problem. If you offer your services before asking the worker about the neighborhood, the help gets stuck.
The information you missed was about something glistening in the southern wall. You should look into this well.
I also fixed this bug, but this doesn't affect your game session.
Best regards,
Sasa
Got locked in the temp
I’ve completed the tasks in the forest. Now I’m in the temple. And now I have locked into a room. I should go to the south, because I can’t climb back. But the door to the south is closed.
Re: Got locked in the temp
Dear Jokyboy129,
I think you are on the western side of the big red glowing room. If this is the situation, pull the lever in the room, and it will open the door to the south.
Best regards,
Sasa

Game update 1.1.1 released
Greetings,
I have just released version 1.1.1 with gameplay improvements:
- You can skip text by double-tapping on the screen during speech or with a magic tap if the voiceover is active. (or with a double tap with a single finger if voiceover is disabled)
- Improved command interpreter using new techniques:
- Last chance recognition: use more flexible patterns to categorize commands just before giving up and returning an error message.
- Ignored words: Ignore some common words to get better command recognition quality.
- Custom error messages for common unrecognized commands.
- The game automatically offers help after two unsuccessful commands.
