AudioWizards...the audiogame fully accessible (self.Blind)
submitted by ice_fi


Hello everyone!

We're glad to finally announce that AudioWizards is now available for Android and iOS. It has taken some time, but here it is.
You can get it by following this link if you use an Android device:

$1

Or following this other link if you prefer to play on your iPhone or iOS device:

The game has received pretty good reviews, and it has been rated as fully accessible in AppleVis. It is so, that the game was designed first as an audiogame, so we could be sure it was playable using sound as main sound mechanics. This after, we added some simple but actually quite nice looking visuals, so also sighted people could play it. We really believe that playing videogames should be a universal right, and that everybody should be able to play and to talk about the same game independently of the eye condition.

In this first game, $1, there have been involved 50 blind persons from all around the world. Nine composed the music, one designed part of the special sound effects, one was voice actor, and four were beta-testers since the first version. All of them have received an economic compensation for their work and effort. The rest of those friends helped us selflessly, and so we send our best regards once more to all of them. In addition, in these two years we have received a lot of support and very kind words, especially in the audiogame forums, and so we have enough proof that I have to keep working in what we believe we have to. Our goal is not only to provide you with fantastic games, but also proof that there are a lot of talented blind people who could work in the gaming or audiovisual industries as sound technicians, musicians, producers, mixers and sound developers, but also as programmers, data analyst, marketing staff, game designers, scriptwriters, translators, voice actors, etc etc.

If you are not sure if this game is for you or not, we have prepared a bunch of videos in our Youtube channel, so you can check the game and its quality before you buy it. For instance, there is a trailer with audio description, and a How to Play video. Here those two links

One more thing. If you like the game, please, share your enthusiasm with your friends. That will help us like a lot!

Thanks folks for all the thumbs up! We are very glad about all the kind words we got from you and all the nice feedback.

I have one question. If you have played the game, would you like to share with all the fellows in this group what did you like most in the game? That could help people to make a decision, and us to grow.

I'm concerned about the fact that the description says Talkback isn't fully supported. Are there plans to fix this?

TalkBack isn’t fully supported for the game. Having it enabled while playing the game may change how to the game uses accessibility features. It is advised to disable TalkBack features while playing AudioWizards. The game has its own accessibility features turned on automatically during start-up.

We wanted to be transparent with this issue, but it seems nobody has complain much

iPhones didn't give this problem, but Android players have said they could work fine with it. Only people having PIXEL have reported problems, and we advice them not to purchase the game until we know how to fix it.
