[Audyssey] Ticon blu was: Re: Audiogame in developing
Hi Anouk. I have just bought Ticonblu's games on Ios with the release of their bundles so was interested in your comments. Thus far, from their games I've played the main problem I've found with their interfaces is a lack of explanation, and an occasional freezing bug, but nothing I'd describe as horrible. It is true that the finger tap system to cycle objects and actions is slow, but I didn't find it any worse than something like Chillingham or Time adventures on the pc, and the main problem is the use of a single command to cycle menue objects and another to accept. While there are certainly better things you could do on Ios particularly, like letting you run a finger across the screen to scroll the objects faster and double tap to accept, the slowness I didn't find too bad, and I actually quite enjoyed the object finding in She Noire sinse it was far more interesting than just scrolling through stuff, although I do wish the objects you found related to the inventory and connected the story a little better. Lack of correct instructions is a problem, for example in Inquisitor's heartbeat it seemed to move in the four directions you actually need to swipe with one finger in the corresponding direction not touch the screen, but I suspect at least some of this could be a bad translation issue. I'd agree that The bugginess and occasional freezing is more of a pest, though I noticed that the first inquisitor game became less buggy after the update, so hopefully it'll get a fix in the future. The only game I have a really major hassle with the interface of is audio speed, which to be honest I would not have bought had it not come with the bundle along with She noire (which I did want), and worked out cheaper, sinse the tracking of tilts doesn't seem good. I've heard though the mechanics there are sort of a universal problem whether on pc oc, mac or Ios, and more fixes are planned, so I'm willing to reserve judgement there or at least to believe that the control issue is more a problem with the game over all than one specific to Ios, plus Racing games are hardly my favourite anyway even space themed ones. Any thoughts?

Re: [Audyssey] Ticon blu was: Re: Audiogame in developing
Hi Dark, I was a big fan of the original inquisitor game (I loved the voice acting) havent played the others yet. I personally never got it to work on ios although it worked okish for me on the mac. I have she noire on ios and GUESS that i need to disable vo with this one, this is never mentioned. Some audio gets chopped off. I can get to the first place in the game where you need to interact you need to seem to find objects but for the life of me i am stumped at that point, i tap with one finger with more fingers i double tap but nothing really seems to happen or change. I had also bought it on the mac but had some major problems with htat system at that point maybe i should try it there.

Re: [Audyssey] Ticon blu was: Re: Audiogame in developing
Hi Anouk. You need to turn vo off with all of the Ticon blu games, but they all self voice so that shouldn't be a problem, it's easy enough to tripple click home. I just finished She Noire on Ios earlier today, so I can help with that. When your told to find objects, what you need to do is track around the screen with one finger until you hear the object and then tap once to get it. You will hear a tone change from left to right and low to high as you move around the screen. This is part of the gameplay and I personally rather liked it sinse it made you feel much more a detective, going around and looking for clues and then having to look closer, although there were some parts of the game where it got a little weerd with the plot. You will also sometimes have to select objects to combine, but this you do with two fingers to cycle and then a single finger to select. The game does have instructions, you need to three finger tap to hear them, but I agree they should be available in the main menu, also they could be a little clearer on the object finding process. Also, the audio doesn't actually cut off, it's just the way the files have been edited from what I can gather. Still, the game was fun even if a little lose in the plotting in parts, and I love the phrase "Wait there, I might decide to arrest you later" :D. I'm not sure why Inquisitor isn't working for you, it went fine for me. I have an Iphone 5 with Ios 7 (I'll upgrade to 8 when the next version comes out and I can be sure it's less buggy). You just need to tap with two fingers to cycle and a finger to select. I suspect the main problem was you running the games with vo, sinse you really can't play these with vo running. Hth. I've just bought all the tincon blue games sinse their bundles were on offer and I look forward to playing through more of them.

Re: [Audyssey] Ticon blu was: Re: Audiogame in developing
Hi, No i ran it without vo but I will try it again toorrow. It was not really clear to me that you had to move your finger over the screen in order to home in on objects. Well I ran inquisitor on my iphone 4 when it was first released in English and that did not go so well, the mac version went ok but that is all a long time ago. I will try she noire again tomorrow and see how that goes now.

Re: [Audyssey] Ticon blu was: Re: Audiogame in developing
Hi Anouk I don't know about why inquisitor might not be working. once you start you should be told to tap with two fingers to select from the menu and just go from there. Hope you can get it to run, it's a fun game and with the bundles on sale now is a good time to pick up their other stuff. Hope you like She Noire. it had some holes but was over all more fun than not. All the best, Dark.
