Ahh, okay, that makes sense. I really hope someone notices this and does decide to put it into sheet music, because this is a prime example of a perfect band performance.

I take it you don't have a Spotify or Apple Music subscription?

Of course, having never actually had one, I was able to get a free trial of Apple Music, so I’m listening to the soundtrack right now even as we speak. I think Gwynns theme just got added to my list of top favorites.

I'm planning to buy a microphone just to do a first time play through of this game. now, after i get that, i'll need to get a mixer or something. lol

You know, as excited as you all are about the release, I think I'm just as excited about all the Let's Plays and other fan-made content. Getting to share in your experience that way is gonna be a lot of fun.

Well said Aaron. You said what I’ve been thinking far better than I probably would’ve put it down.

Aaron: Thank you so much. You have no idea how much that means. At the end of the day, our motivation is you guys. We want to make something that people will enjoy—we want to create the sort of experience that so many gamers have never had, or like me, once had and now have lost. Sure, we want the game to be commercially successful, and would be thrilled if it played a part in changing the conversation surrounding game accessibility, and we really have no idea how far it'll go—but ultimately, we just want to make something special for players. Knowing our hard work is appreciated, and makes it a lot easier to put in the effort.

Dragomier: Story and quests are my department, and I'm always happy to chat about the process—such as it is...but I'll be honest, I don't know how much light I can shed. i just kinda write, and see what happens. Sometimes I look at a quest, or even at the game's whole storyline, and think, "Ugh, I should go back and redo the whole thing!" I guess when we release, you'll have to let me know whether or not the writing is up to snuff.

For all the hipe about this game I'm super worried it'll be a letdown, mostly in the length department. I wouldn't expect anything else from a small team though, but still.
You're welcome to surprise me however. You could change my mind about kickstarters.
I did put in a little extra when I ordered the tracks from bandcamp, so enjoy that.

My first real post on this Forum - but that is exactly the very essence of what I am thinking of the Audio games community and AHC in particular.
Video games developed during the last two decades into something much bigger than only a stupid and escapistic past time activity. You can almost call them a form of art - well, at least some of them. This is a development Audio games still have to make.
AHC might be one big step in this direction. Although we all can't be sure if it meets our big expectations, the theory sounds great. You guys might just be the fire Starters for the next badly needed audio games Revolution.

Fun fact: I am a german and in your Audio demo for the Translation plugin it translates "I like to fight with the bow" into the german equivalent of fighting not with the weapon bow, but with the bow you make as a polite greeting. That is a hilarious Thing to say! I might just Play it in the original language

LordLundin: It's funny you say that, because that's actually my fear as well—not specifically with story length, but just in general. I think that what we've done with AHC shatters a lot of the current glass ceilings in the audio games world. But I'm still a little worried that, because of the hype, people are going to have this all-surpassing super-game in their minds that nothing we could make could ever possibly live up to. Hopefully people will be content to compare AHC to the other games on the market, and not to whatever game they might imagine in their minds, and will judge us favorably. Time will tell.

Honk: First off, welcome to the community! I agree with you that video games have really turned into a powerful artistic medium, particularly for storytelling. Personally that's where my passion is in games. AHC barely scratches the surface of the kind of narrative artistry that games can do—I'll be the first to admit that. But I think it will be a step in the right direction, and will hopefully be a springboard for us and for other devs as well.

As for the translation, thanks for mentioning that. We are working with a few human translators to improve on the foundation laid by the Google translation, and hope to do more of that in the future. If you're fluent in English, we'd definitely recommend playing in English. The translation is really to make the game at least basically playable for people who speak no English, just as a Japanese translator makes JRPGs playable for those of us who speak no Japanese, even if you do get occasional strange "lost in translation" moments.

Abdulla: This is probably a question for Apple support. We didn't place any territory restrictions on the music, so if it's not available in your music it's because of something on Apple's end, not ours.

hey
I m happy
