Hey AudioGames.Net, I wanted to let the community here know about a project I've been working on with a bunch of veteran game devs. Our team includes Dave Grossman, who worked at LucasArts and Telltale Games, Eddy Webb of White Wolf/The Onyx Path (he wrote for Vampires: The Masquerade), and Jonathon Myers of Zynga and Disruptor Beam. (I'm the Earplay comm director - not a game dev vet, just a longtime PC gamer nerd-type.)
We're excited to announce that our new platform for interactive audio stories - like a choose your own adventure book, in audio format! (Website: https://www.earplay.com/)
Earplay is available on smart speakers and voice assistant-enabled devices, for both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. There's also a standalone iOS app on the app store. Enabling the Earplay platform is free, and all of our demos and preview content are free as well. We'll be adding purchasable longform content, stories that will keep you audio adventuring for HOURS, in the next couple of months!
We're just getting started, so feedback from people who're longtime enthusiasts of audio games would be truly invaluable. If really engaging, roleplay-style narratives are your jam, try out a new kind of audio game with us, and let's build a brand new medium together!
Here's our website URL again: https://www.earplay.com/
We're also trying to get a reddit community started for interactive audio fans, so feel free to head in there and share links to your other favorite audio games. The rules are pretty lax so far. http://reddit.com/r/earplay
If you're having trouble getting Earplay launched just reply here, or email me at [email protected], and I'll help ya out! Thanks for listening. <3
