What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’ve decided to launch Early Access because, overally, we want to get feedback from our players before the final release, to make the game as good as possible, both in terms of performance and gameplay features.
The gameplay is for many parts experimental, and we have a lot of things to understand with our players on how to better balance.
More easy? more challenging? How much complex?
We need your help!

Moreover, we want to add also a 'story mode', where you start a galactic race, but things gose wrong as an alien fleet attacks while starship racing. We want to create an additional, more linear, gameplay (always based on speed) with additional bub-gameplays where you have also to fire to destroy enemies, avoid obstacles, collect objects, repair your ship, decide where to go on a space map, and other things.

We don't want to define these things now, because we want to develop them with the community, asking to our player what they would like to find in the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Till early 2027. It could mean also spring 2027!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Eventual bugfixing.
Additional features discussed with our players
Balancing

Story Mode (as described in "Why Early Access).

We will evaluate, if the game will have a bit of success and we will have enough resources, the multiplayer mode PvP.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“100% playable and complete. As you can read in the Game Information.
Single race mode
Tournamento
7 starships
7 tracks
3 levels of difficulty
Audio options
Video options for visual impaired

Demo available.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We are not sure about the final price!
We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.

As told above, the game is experimental, also under a commercial point of view (audiogames are a small niche), so we want to keep ourselves flexible!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We hope to have feedbacks from our community for eventual bugs, desidered new features, balancing”

About This Game

AudioSpeed is an audio game centred on high-speed races between spaceships. Totally accessible for blind players

In the far future, pilots race not cars, but starships on a number of orbital tracks.

With high gravity, hyperspacial acceleration and hazards such as nebulae this is an extremely dangerous sport.

The main tournament of the game takes place on 7 tracks, culminating in a showdown at the system Hydra, where only the toughest pilots will survive.

Players select from various starships, each with unique stats for

  • speed

  • maneuverability

  • armor

  • acceleration

  • robo-navigator efficiency.

Options include practicing on the first five tracks or competing in the tournament. Because the tournament requires achieving specific, challenging times to avoid disqualification, strong racing skills are necessary.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

We use AI to generate the voices of Robonavigator and Narrator.

System Requirements

    Minimum:
    • OS: Windows 10 64-bit
    • Processor: 64-bit dual-core 2.0 GHz (Intel Core i3-2100 / AMD equivalent)
    • Memory: 2 GB RAM
    • Graphics: Any DirectX 11 compatible GPU, integrated graphics included (Intel HD Graphics 4000)
    • DirectX: Version 11
    • Storage: 500 MB available space
    • Sound Card: Any DirectX compatible sound card. Stereo output required, headphones strongly recommended
    • Additional Notes: AUDIOSPEED is a fully audio-based racing game: it can be played from start to finish without looking at the screen. Stereo audio output is required (headphones recommended) because track orientation, opponents and hazards are conveyed by stereo positioning. The 3D graphics are purely illustrative and very light. No screen reader is needed: the game speaks every menu entry and every race event and also prints the same text on screen as a subtitle.
    Recommended:
    • OS: Windows 11 64-bit
    • Processor: 64-bit quad-core 2.5 GHz (Intel Core i5 / AMD Ryzen 3 or better)
    • Memory: 4 GB RAM
    • Graphics: Any DirectX 12 compatible GPU
    • DirectX: Version 12
    • Storage: 500 MB available space
    • Sound Card: Stereo headphones, or good quality stereo speakers
    • Additional Notes: Closed stereo headphones give the best results: the position of the track, of the other ships and of the hazards is read entirely through stereo panning.
