Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay! Hi.Ah yes this is good news. I can understand how development takes priority over podcasts and things like that. Since this is still going, I'll definitely give it a try. If I like it, I'll consider giving it a vote!

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay!
Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay! Hi.Well I just found this topic today. I figured this is how the story would end. I don't like when things like this happen, but projects like this, which are not well thought out, usually go down sooner rather than later. Really this is just choice of games with sound. It would've been more compelling if they had tried to make an audio game, instead of making audio text adventures.

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay!
Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay! Hi.I have just tried the latest version, and here are my opservations:1. Voiceover don't read what title of the game you are pressing play on. It just reads "Play" so you don't know what title you are choosing. I don't remember seeing this issue previously.2. When I have to speak the very first command in Path, the game crashes. Voiceover don't even read the buttons on the screen, but jumps to the status line at the top. That means I can't play the game, and I'm forced to close the app by the app switcher.It would be very nice to make the choices directly on the screen instead of being forced to use the voice commands. I look very much forward to see what's coming in the future.

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay! Hey everyone! Really glad you're reporting back - I've let our dev team know about the bugs and crashes. We're always working on making the platform more stable, since everything is hosted in the cloud it's still a little temperamental.By the way, Orko, Half actually does have an ending! You just have to figure out how to get to it. Try taking different items with you into each "half" of the world.

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay!
Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay! There were a couple of times while I was playing with it that it seemed to just disappear and my background music resumed playing. I wasn't sure what happened but they could easily have been crashes.Such as one time while playing Half, I responded that the glass was half full, then with no firther word or comment from Earplay my music resumed playing and I had to ask Alexa to open Earplay again to continue.And now that I think about it, that's probably why my play of Code Name Cygnus ended so abruptly after I was extracted from the card game, it crashed, though I didn't realize it at the time.

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay!
Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay! I finally had a chance last night to sit down and have a nice chat with Earplay on my Echo. The demo was great in that it showed some of what was possible. Hafl was strange, it took me a couple of laps before I realized this story had no ending, but it was fun. And Code Name Cygnus though short left me hoping that the rest of its chapters or episodes would soon be available.In all I thought the whole Earplay platform was a great idea and look forward to playing more of the stories that develop. Keep up the great work.

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay!
Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay! hi everyone, I have ever played codename cygnus but never got in to all episodes of the game, I just played the prologue and I think the first episode.I'm looking forward to play more stories in the future, especially as a telltale fans that we have finally got something similar to that the telltale stuff.I aggree to SLJ, all of the telltale games are actually beatable, but most of the parts are a real hard, especially for explorations and some puzzles which take some hours to complete just one of the puzzles. I've just beatten 2 of their series and I'm still quite satisfied until now.can't wait to try more of them when they release the games here, especially for the wolf among us (which I'm hoping that this series will be recreated in earplay) :lolanyway, a suggestion: for future stories, it would be better if the story is played through several chapters in one episode, which can make the story a bit longer. also, it would be bette r if you add a tracking system through some servers or such things. this way, you can see your choices and compare it with others as well.

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay!
Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay! I never played Code Name Cygnus because I don't use my iPhone for game or media playing because with my kind of luck, when I really need it as a phone I will have burned up it's batteries with games and music.So it really doesn't matter much to me whether Cygnus is continued on the Earplay platform or not, as long as it can be picked up without relying on the player having already played part 1, unless of course part one was also offered on the platform.

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay! Dearest Orko, and Dark, Chief Defenestrator (please do not defenestrate me!) - WOOP! So glad to hear so much enjoyment. We have many blind and visually impaired users already - the iOS app is Voiceover compatible and we're always looking for ways to make the VUI more friendly. As for UK users - Earplay DOES already work with the Alexa Devices in the UK! Google Assistant has just recently started rolling out support for en-GB with third party actions like ours, so UK users with Google Homes should be able to start Earplay without a problem very soon.Thank you for pointing out the online Alexa sim, Trenton! We use it as a testing environment. It's a free tool. Lirin & crashmaster - you can use echosim.io to play Earplay from your PC. We're actually planning on having a full-function web application sometime down the road, so you can run any Earplay story from anything that can load a browser and connect a microphone.Orin - we're so thankful to our Cygnus fans, who've been incredibly dedicated to our team and the medium over the past three years. "Reactivated" is only going to be a revamped Mission 1. We DEFINITELY have plans to create a Mission 2, but we've got a ton of other partnerships lined up that will be taking precedent at the moment - I'm most excited for Pugmire (DOGGOS!). In the future we'll be helping other writers and audio creators use our platform to create their stories.Really glad you're liking the Committee!! I'm the Rachel that shows up in it. ;P We'd love to see more people voting every week!

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay!
Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay! Will the "reactivated" Codename Cygnus actually continue the story from where the iOS Cygnus app left off? Or will it just bring the currently released Cygnus episodes to the Earplay platform. I want Mission 2 that we've been waiting 3+ years for!On a side note, I'm liking the weekly episotic comedy with the Earplay meeting on the platform. I'm hoping that "reactivated" is one of the stories released in August at some point, especially if it gives us what should've been mission 2 after we get through the new revised content.

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay!
Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay! Hi and welcome on the forum.I'm a huge fan of Codename Cygnus. I have known about your new project for quite a while, and have played the demos. It's really cool. My only complaint is to be forced to use the voice to play the games. I'm often at public places, where I don't wanna talk with my devices. I have also contacted Telltale games regarding to making their games more accessible for blind people. I didn't got ignored, but got a reply back saying that they might look into this in the future. But nothing has happened so far. It's a huge shame because their games are beatable by blind people if you have extremely much patience. But exploration is very, very difficult and takes many hours, where sighted people just point and click to interact with people and objects. So I'm really exciting for this project...

Re: Interactive audio fiction with Earplay! Sorry to say that we don't. We're focusing our development efforts on the voice assistants since it's Amazon's speech recognition API we're using to interpret player responses. We're looking forward to Google Assistant being integrated with all upcoming Android releases, and hopefully backwards compatibility with older Android devices too.If you don't have an Android that can use Google Assistant yet, you can still get a taste for our games! Earplay emerged out of our first experiment in interactive audio, Codename Cygnus, which is about 7 episodes long. The Cygnus app is still on the Google Play store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta … namecygnusWe're not supporting the Cygnus apps anymore, but we're releasing Cygnus "Reactivated" with updated lines and voice prompts on the Earplay platform very soon.
