Darren, You raise a good point: "How many people outside of this little community actually know about audyssey and said games?"
We're 7-128 Software, a small company (more a small orchestra than a "one-man band") that makes mainstream casual games that are accessible. We've just published our third annual Top 25 Web Sites for Gamers who are Blind. Audyssey.org is number 2 on that list. A number of Audyssey folks also have sites on that list. For three years we've been sending this list to a range of blind-related institutions (for example Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired), organizations, forums, blogs, and other media. And we offer free demos. And our ALERT project offers free help to educators using accessible games. And our detective games, puzzle games, and word games are (for the most part) not "rehashes" And guess what: we have the same problem that Thomas, Che, Liam, Jim, and the others do in making ourselves known. I'll bet you never heard of us. Publicity (which means "advertising with minimal cost") is tough, really really tough. This year we're being much more aggressive with our publicity. Hopefully, this will make more people aware of Audyssey.org as well as ourselves. Oh. BTW. Not to critisize at all; but some of those "rehashes" are very popular in the blind gaming community. I suspect because guys like the above really know how to add their own "gameness" to their products.
