Hello,

Our game Scream`N`Run would be a perfect addition to this site. Here it is: itunes.apple.com/us/app/scream-n-run/id448137031
In this game you must help a little zombie to evade the evil pink bunnies by jumping over them. The louder you scream the higher the zombie jumps. Great fun, try it out. It is the first voice controlled Jump`N`Run in the world. I think we have a few promocodes left, so if you want one just drop me a line.

Regards,
Sebastian Mecklenburg

It is interesting but it is not the suitable place to post it here. You might try the general game discussion forum instead.

Sebastian, I've checked out videos of Scream`N`Run being played and unfortunately it doesn't seem to be accessible.  Perhaps you could add in some type of sound cues to let people know when they should be jumping and also how high they'll need to jump in order to clear the obstacle?  I'm worried that the main menu would also be difficult to navigate without voice commands to help the player know what was being selected.

Moderation!

I took the liberty of moving the topic, sinse the site feedback room is for questions about the site itself or the forum.


About the game, Aprone is right. While a game with voice control is an interesting idea, sinse this is a site about games that output! sound rather than in put it and are thus accessible to blind and visually impared gamers, all the concerns about access to the game still apply even if it is voice controlled.

If you'd like to make access changes to the game to create audio output however, we'd be very glad to help.

Well... Is this another spambot or just a random guy? smile

Hi.
i think it might be spam.

I'm gone for real :)

2012-03-21 18:16:48

Nope, I'm pretty sure it's not a spambot, sinse there aren't many sites about sound based games, I think it's the games' actual creator. However I believe she/he missunderstood the purpose of the site, and assumed "audio games" meant games with audio in put, ie voice control, clapping etc, not games that output to audio and are thus accessible.

As I said though, if the developer is interested in making access changes we'd be very glad to help indeed.

Btw, might I suggest people do not accuse others of being spambots on the forum, sinse it's not exactly friendly, especially to a potential new developer.

Spambots are usually far more obvious than this, and will not mention audio games. if you believe something is spam, it's probably better to report it if it is over 24 hours old and hasn't already been deleted. and it is even less likely to be spam if myself or one of the other moderators has already replied to this topic and thus has certainly read it (if we thought it was spam, we'd have deleted it). While we're not infallible, it's unlikely we'll have bothered writing a reply to a spam topic without just deleting it first.

so, bottom line, please don't accuse others of being spambots. It'd be dire indeed if a developer turned up on site, was accused of being a spambot and left in disgust.

This isn't an official moderation warning, sinse obviously both Brad and Alex are trying to help, just a word of advice.

I'm gone for real :)

Well, I'm sorry... I was just wondering why he hadn't answered...

There could be lots of reasons he hasn't answered. On the positive side it could just be that he's been delayed in some way and will get back to us later. On the negative side it might be that he's actually not interested in discussing the game, just turning up and effectively advertising it, or still worse, turned up, read the replies and realized that this is a site who's principle audience are lacking in eyeballs and left.

Either way we'll not know unless he turns up again, which I do hope he does sinse a voice controlled game where you scream at zombies could be rather amusing, provided it were accessible of course.

One thing, there would be no problems locating or activating game controls if you just need to yell big_smile.

Hi,

This reminded me of the game BJGino, a voice controlled BlackJack game for iOS. It's free even.

I'm going to check this Youtube link out later. However, a game where you shout at zombies sounds fun, and I think I'll add something like this to my list of projects, too. big_smile

If more voice controled games come on pc, I might actually have to buy another usb mike. I used to have one for skype, but it sort of died, and I was never a big skype fan anyway, ---- indeed at one point I had to remain invisible sinse if I was online random people would contact me.

If however voice controled games start to get made I'll have to look for another one, ---- and not one of those crummy headset jobbies either, a streight out usb mike with a stand so that the games sounds can come through speakers or headphones as normal.

This sounds like a wierd version of swamp, just screaming at Zombies in stead of shooting them, and on IOS! LOL!
I seriously hope more voice controled games come to PC, indeed I would love to scream at zombies and blow off steam. LOL I can hear myself now:
You bloody zombies get out of my way or you're gonna get it!
But then again I already do that when playing left for dead.
