You mean like Loom?

>>15969586

You mean like that game for the blind kind of thing?

>Has anyone tried making an audio game

thief,

Fuck off with your template thread.

Aureal is dead, and kikes killed it

The Quiet Man.

>blind swordsman (flash game)

Although I do remember there were five handheld games specifically made for blind people

Kaze no Regret kinda falls under that genre

Repetition changes the entire idea from, "could be interesting" to "this is retarded."

proper audio in general is severely underrated. Consider proper positional vs the typical left/right panning you get. It's night and day like a cliff racer squaking at you from a tv speaker vs breathing on your neck as it takes a bite

there's a flash game called the blind swordsman, it's based entirely on audio cues, it's kinda lame though

>>15969586

Yep, there's that adventure game for blind people. And it's just annoying.

>>15969586

I remember a game that released on steam that was advertised toward the blind, though the name alludes me right now.

I don't think removing audio from a clear movie that was muted would count. The game wasn't based around a mechanic of a deaf character, but was used as a gimmick to a failed project.

There's a HL2 mod called Blind Monk's Society.

Its just a really short proof of concept type thing, but you might want to try it out anyways.

Elude. The name isn't making a reference to you.

Yes. For a side project a few years ago, tried making a game for blind people. Used fmod and some shitty webcam mocap to track head +arm. The blind player would point their arm where the sound was coming from and open their hand to shoot.

Turns out, we all sucked too much at coding at the time to make it work well, and even then half of us had such bad hearing acuity that they couldn't play.

Tldr yes, but it's hard to do right and you'll want help from acoustic engineers instead of fellow noobs

I'm interested to see if anyone has done anything like this. There's a lot of overhead, all things considered

>>15969586

I think there was a little Space Invader like shooter game (with no visuals) where your get attacked by enemies and have to judge their position from the sound.

What if you turned off the monitor?

The only one I'm aware of is A Hero's Call, a game for the blind made by the amusingly titled "Out of Sight Games". (Don't think it had a Steam release.)

It delivers a great deal of atmosphere for being audio-only, but it's a little confusing that the game's protagonist is apparently Moon Man. It sounds really out of place next to everyone else.

Perhaps an ASMR game. No game has successfully tapped into this fetish yet. Even us blind people could enjoy a good whisper. The game could be a story with branching dialogue trees and a softspoken female narrator.

Over a decade ago I remember finding this freeware (possibly open source) audio game where you're a blind, tourist-eating cave monster. I've seen the website once or twice but every fucking time I forgot the name and no one knows what I'm talking about.

Eh, not exactly what I expected but oh well.

>OP makes an interesting unique thread

>Fuck off with your template thread.

This is why this board is complete shit.

The problem with audio games is that barring specialized equipment, it's not possible to have 3D sound, as in sound seemingly coming from sources at any point within 3 axes.

I remember a few. There was some student/indie attempt at some point that had you attempting some tower prison escape mostly in the dark, going by audio cues.

Well there are Visual Novels Audio CYOA.
