Guys, I have something to brag about. After almost a year of hard learning, I finally created my first mobile game! Storiado is a board game alternative that will make you wonder what's wrong with your friends. Play by answering simple questions, mix all the answers, and generate the most twisted story you've ever read. And then read it aloud, well, if you can manage it.

Game is available for

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/storiado-twisted-party-game/id6449257650

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beakbyte.storiado

Have you ever played Consequences? It's a simple game where you create a story by answering questions and mixing up the answers. We love playing it with friends; it's a ton of fun and laughs, but the problem was that you needed several sheets of paper and pens for each game. We decided to solve this issue and created Storiado, a twisted party game that essentially follows very similar rules to Consequences, but additionally, an AI generates a story from all players' answers. The more twisted answers you come up with, the better the story will be. Of course, the funniest stories always come out when you answer using inside jokes, etc. Both the answers and the generated story must be read aloud to the rest of the friends, and believe me, sometimes it's hard. The game has a single-player mode, but to experience the full potential of Storiado, we recommend a minimum of 2 players. The more, the better.

Please let me know what you think about it. Thanks!

Could you please explain the need for so many permissions(35)?

Like why would a board game need access to:

  • Biometrics
  • Fingerprint
  • Receive Boot Completed??

Biometrics are one thing, why does this need read/write to external storage and settings, and system alert permissions?

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 7 months ago

There’s absolutely no non-nefarious reason this app would need those permissions. Gross.

The lack of response to this question by OP further reddens the flag.

OPs flag is so red shifted it's invisible by now.
