Help us improve accessibility of our game Idle Crafting Kingdom

Hi, I also find that the "Sell 50" button is enabled even if you don't have 50 of the currently viewed product. so, It seems as if the button actions are reversed. If you have, say, 35 logs, it enables the sell 50 button, and disables the sell 10 button.

Ok, I flick very fast, the game could not keep up at all, I could not reproduce the focus bug in the lumber yard, but here.

hi how do i get that audio share to work? sounds a great way to record iphone related podcasts direct from the device.

Hi Michelle, I have a couple things to report, and some request for the game.
First, it seems like the Princess bonus is not applying to the sale price of the products.
I was selling leather strips for $135, then I got a 2 percent bonus from the princess, but my leather strips was still selling for $135.
The leather strips was originally $120, so I should have at least gotten a $1 or $2 increase in my sale price, right?
Also, I tried using the system voice for a little bit today, and I noticed that it doesnt lag so much as the voice over. It still loses focus like the voice-over, but it doesn't lag as much. So I was wondering, is there a way that we can get something to adjust the speed of the system voice?
Another request, if it's possible, is there a way that you could put the automation timer with the title of the slots?
What I mean is, for example, when I flick down, we would hear "production Slot 1 logs 5 minutes remaining". Is that possible?
I think it would help with navigating the page easier since we don't have to flick twice to hear the time, and flick back to the "produce" button.
It's just frustrating at times when the focus jumps around so much, and I can't seem to find which ones I did already, and which ones I didn't, especially when you have 10 to 15 slots in one place.
On a side note, why do we make pots in the jeweler? smiles
I'm still enjoying the game very much, even when I'm ready to pull my hair out because the focus just won't get to where I want it to be smiles.
Thank you very, very much for all the hard work and dedication you give in making this game accessible for us.
I do appreciate it very, very much.

Hi. I have a request for automations. Is it possible to have either VO or the system voice tell us on the main world screen and others that the automations you are currently running have ran out. so, it would say something like, automation for Lumber Yard slot 1 logs has run out I do understand that it could get quite hectic the more automations you run. But, I think it would help if you are doing stuff in another screen such as the main world map, or the city or other places. The reason I bring this up is that my wife says she can see that her automations have ran out anywhere she is in the game.

Hi.

I did the update last night and each time I click on the boost most of the time I don't get the video and it goes back to the castle. If I tap my way around the screen very occasionally I find a back button that takes me back to the castle. Before I did the update there was an L button that took me back but that seems to have gone.

Does anyone play this game without boosts is it possible to do that?

Another suggestion I thought of maybe if the videos are problematic unlocking a boost with either gold or a mini quest either sell so many items etc.

Loving the game still Cheers.

hi all, once i have accumilated quite a bit of storage space, can i do anything to maintain its currenj state even when i reset my game to earn rewards? thanks, Will

I like that idea. especially as the cost for the amount of storage space you gain gets quite costly. You have to pay quite a lot for other things which isn't a problem, I just think that a good balance would be that your storage space stays at what it was when/if your reset the game for current rewards.

hi again, i note that i can make and combine products to make more useful materials later on is this correct?

Hi, this is correct. You will also need certain raw materials and/or to combine products to expand your Estate. You also need to sell a certain amount of raw or combined products to complete quests.

Hi.

I have got the second estateexpansion done and I have got lumber, logs, and my farm is doing grain and meat.

How many production slots do people normally have on each property? Should I get the quarry next?

Should I look at going for the sales man boost and the quick study one?

Cheers.

You actually get all of them in slot 1. I use the sharped axe a lot. Lol!

Quick observation. Has anyone else noticed when using the system voice the game still lags and loses focus? I'm wondering if this has anything to do with some accessibility element put in. I can't code, but that's just a theory.

I believe they are still working on things to help the lag. We also have to remember that the accessibility plug-in for Unity or however you spell it is still in beta and most likely still being worked on. It being in beta could be the cause of some of the lagging and focus jump issues.

Someone mentioned when you tap on l the video closes that is true and I could still find the button. I don't know how its not showing up for other people. If I had known that from the start instead of going to the ap store I would've done it that way.

Oh yeah I didn't actually think of that. I wonder why this was coded in Unity? Swift I think has all the hooks in it already so one only needs to do what ever to implement them.

Hi:
What happened to the "Sell 1" button? I have 301 meat and I need 300 for my next expansion. I am using the latest update on an Iphone 6 running the latest IOS. I see the sell 50 and 10 buttons but not the sell 1 button. Thanks.

Hi, I've mentioned the sell one button missing in a previous post. What I do is make my estate expansion, then sell the rest with the sell all button.

HI. I see the close video button, but then I hear v voice over say, you will loose your reward. So if I close the video when it'[s done will I lose my reward? Do I have to go to the app store in order to get my boost?
Thanks.

Hi Michelle, Did you get my post about the sell 10 and sell 50 buttons having reversed actions? If I have 32 items, it says that the sell 10 button is dimmed. and the sell 50 isn't. the same is in reverse if I have 63 items, and the sell 50 button is dimmed, and the sell 10 isn't.

Hi. Could someone tell me how to close the video from the app store please?

I'll go back through the posts to see if it was mentioned earlier.

Thanks.

Hi Michelle, I have a question about the quest.
Does it give you random quests to do, or is it based on the things that you do in the game?
A friend of mine and I started playing the game together, but we don't do things exactly the same. He has different list of quests to do, and I didn't get the same ones that he got when I did the previous quests that he finished.
So, just wondering if the quests is given randomly or not.
Also, his "sell 10" button is disabled most of the time. Sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not, even when he has way more than 10 products to sell.

Also, it seems like the Princess bonus is not applying to the sale price of the products.
I was selling leather strips for $135, then I got a 2 percent bonus from the princess, but my leather strips was still selling for $135.
The leather strips was originally $120, so I should have at least gotten a $1 or $2 increase in my sale price, right?
Also, I tried using the system voice for a little bit today, and I noticed that it doesnt lag so much as the voice over. It still loses focus like the voice-over, but it doesn't lag as much. So I was wondering, is there a way that we can get something to adjust the speed of the system voice?
Another request, if it's possible, is there a way that you could put the automation timer with the title of the slots?
What I mean is, for example, when I flick down, we would hear "production Slot 1 logs 5 minutes remaining". Is that possible?
I think it would help with navigating the page easier since we don't have to flick twice to hear the time, and flick back to the "produce" button.
It's just frustrating at times when the focus jumps around so much, and I can't seem to find which ones I did already, and which ones I didn't, especially when you have 10 to 15 slots in one place.

I like the idea of having announcements when your automation has ran out.
Adding another level of navigation to get to the bottom of the page would be awesome.
I really didn't want it so I can get to the treasure chest quicker, but it would be helpful if you have 10 to 15 slots going and you want to add another slot, you can get to the bottom fast enough, and most of the back button when you are selecting a product to make is at the bottom of the page.

Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication to make this game accessible for us.

I'd ditch the sell 1 button. I just let it expand and play with the items I have left over. Not a big deal really. They have helped me restart my autimation after I expand and if I'm gone for a while.

Hi Applefan thanks for the help its much appreciated. So if I do tap the get button cancel the download and look at the top left to go back to crafting kingdom and two finger swipe up and bob's your uncle etc.

Cheers. I am enjoying the game finally got the quarry built now its time to build up the funds and prepare for the next estate expansion.

Fantastic game look forward to hearing a few Podcasts on it.

hi all, could this game be made to run under windows and mac in the future? i assume not? secondly, i am upgrading my iphone to a 6s or 7 not sure which yet, and was wondering will my progress be saved in the cloud for me to continue? or, for now, could i pick up my ipad mini now, fire up crafting kingdom and have my current progress as 9 thousand coins 275 storage and 4 production slots in progress? thanks.

Another poster mention that they use the Sell All button after they have completed an estate expansion to handle single digit items left over. I like this suggestion and would rather not lose the Sell All button just to have the Sell One button added again.

Great suggestion, @Sean Terry.

Hello Michelle,

first I would like to say thank you for taking in to account blind players when making this game. Normally this is not my type of game as I don't really like games where you have to work on things slowly in order to do well. However this game really got me interested and I am really hooked on it. I find the game really nice to play and enjoy the different things you can do. They only thing that I find a negative is the restarting game option. I would find it really frustrating if I was somebody like Sean who got his estate up to level 3 and if I had all of the buildings or at least most of them. Would really frustrate me then having to restart in order to get my rewards as then I would be starting again from scratch and would have to do the whole thing again. However the game is fantastic and I like the fact that you don't get things over night and really have to work hard to get what your kingdom improved. I would also be interested in being added to the tester list if there is still space. my email address is.

Hi Michelle and Everyone.

I've been away from the game except to collect my Princess gift each day, but today I'm back with a vengeance and I've just got the update, and wow! It's so awesome! I love the sell all button, having the produce button right by the production slot so I can refresh so quickly, being able to see how much of everything I've got in city without having to swipe too much. Having the sell fifty button right after sell all, the lagging on my phone is practically gone, as is the losing focus.

There's only one thing I'm having issues with, and if this has already been mentioned please excuse, there have been a mountain of posts since I've been away which I haven't had time to read. Videos are not playing properly unless I touch the center of the screen, and I can't get them to close at all unless I close the game altogether and reopen it.

Having said that, everything else so far is incredible, my three properties are all in full production, well, as far as I've unlocked the third one so far anyway, and my hands are not hurting anymore from swiping too hard. Thank you thank you so much for all your hard work and for this glorious game where I'm having fun, de-stressing and not having to kill or fight anything!

hello everyone, i want to do my first applevis fodcast on this title. do people recommend i record direectly on my iphone as i play the game to make the game audio clearer? some tips welcome please to assist me.

hi all was only playing the game for hour and used 61 percent in audio from my attery! is this normal?

No it is not. I hardly go through my battery. This might be a battery dying on you..

hi. i'll have to switch playing this to my ipad mini since my battery on this iphone 6 needs servicing. least on my ipad mini, 4 should last a while.

I think that using a two finger swipe Down gesture would work out best here. This is the opposite gesture to the one that now brings focus to the top of the screen.

Hey to all, I did a podcast on crafting kingdom. It was a bit longer than I'd planned but here you go.

http://tffppodcast.com/crafting-kingdon-demo/

In it you will see all the issues that are present in the game.

I wanted to say that I think This game has a bit of a battery hogging issue. I unplugged my phone last night, and played for about an hour, when I looked at my battery status, it was at 38%. When I unplugged my phone, it was at 90%. So, just something to check.

No issues for me. My battery is quite new though I went from 100 to 90 in about an hour.
