Audio Forager

[h1] Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers [/h1] Neat little music app. Tons of fun can be had just exploring the game. Each experience will be different with the sheer amount of sounds available to play with. Hear a sound you like? Just grab it and bring it close to you. Then pick another and mix them all together. You don't need any musical acumen to create your own unique musical mix. Creating awesome beats is fun and easy, although it can be overwhelming. Unfortunately, there are some issues on the Oculus Rift with Touch. Your Touch controllers will show visually as HTC Vive wands. I think there may also be button mapping issues. I definitely experienced some funky things happening when I pressed trigger buttons, at least they were inconsistent. I had to press trigger usually more than once to grab items. Navigating my way through the play space was frustrating. At least on the Oculus Rift, there is a cube behind you that you can reach out and navigate to the spot where you hear sounds you like. But navigation was cumbersome and I'm still not sure how I was able to move about other than by pressing trigger on both wands and it would sporadically happen. But worst of all, the cube disappeared several times in my playthroughs and I wasn't sure how to get it back (if you can). In any event, I had fun. This is a cool app that is almost a must download for even Oculus Rift users. Thank you devs for bringing this to VR land. Amazing work! Rating 7/10

I picked app up because the developer's other games are so very amazingly creative examples of what can be done in VR that we couldn't have done before. I thought I'd just check it out for a few minutes to see what it was about, solely because of the developer, and I'm legit surprised at how cool of a concept this is 'live.' I have next to no musical talent, but It was *really* cool to whip up a beat made up entierly of random sound samples pulled from the internet, and arranged in clouds of bubbles I could nagivate, touch, and manipulate in 3D space. You wave our hands through a cloud, and when you hear a sound you like, you pull the 'trigger' to mark that sound for easy re-use. Within a minute or so, you have a whole soundboard of random sounds from all over the place, and you can play each one just by waving your hands through the icons you made. It's friggin' awesome! This concept is cool as hell for non-musically inclided folks, but I could see musical folks using this software for some *really* cool sample gathering.

Audio Forager is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, Audio Forager is a software application that uses a bunch of sounds from Freesounds (hopefully every single one is credited or it's still effectively plagiarism) to allow you to make garbage noise and pretend it's music. I wonder why this was a complete and utter failure with only 9 users using it at the same time. Anyway, it's not a game. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played". This has misleadingly been launched in the "Games" section of Steam instead of the "Software" section. This is a common mistake for developers who are new to Steam, or don't understand the difference between games and software which isn't a game. It seems this software published incorrectly as a game is simply lack of experience/knowledge of the correct process. Here's a link for the process to publish non-game software on Steam: [url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPublishing?issueid=925]Steam Developer Help With Software Publishing[/url] It's unfortunate this process was not known about/followed, resulting in a software application being published in the wrong place. Publishing things which aren't games on Steam in the Games section as games is misleading to gamers and somewhat harmful, because it pollutes the Steam marketplace and takes away visibility and market exposure for genuine game developers who do the right thing and make games for gamers. There are no gameplay loops in this software, no "gameplay", no meaningful game like interaction. It's a software application and as such has no merits as a video game for gamers. Because of this, I cannot recommend this non-game software as a game to gamers.

Audio Forager is a free VR experience where you explore all the sounds of Freesound dot org. It worked on my HTC Vive and Index system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. Puts you in a universe of sound points that you can link to ball and then touch the ball to make the sound. The problem i saw with program was: No instructions, explanations, help and no deletion of balls. Try it, you might like it.

Oynaması ücretsiz basit eğlence tarzında simülasyon oyunu yani ücretsiz olduğu için bence denenebilir. VR denemek için bile oynanabilir yani.
