Braille does seem to add ridiculous cost of expense to things. I do not
know if this is actually true, but it certainly the excuse I've been
given all my life why things with braille on it costs so darn much, and
things without a lot of braille are so much cheaper.
And, nothing, particularly technology, is made to last long in today's
environment, not even things for the sighted.
I don't think he really expected this little system to garner nearly as
much interest as it did. So, unless my system dies tomorrow and I get
radio silence when I report this to him, and I learn something to make
me feel otherwise, I will give the man many hundreds of benefits of the
doubts for now, and I will give him many chances to smooth over the
rough patches.

Hi.
Well this is what I was sent
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3vxdkeenpgnyaz18hbzeh/truman-toys-Instructions-v1.pdf?rlkey=36pce1xaytwr96eirzn1qyz03&dl=1
Its on my cloud for personal backup but I guess if people want this
they can go have it.
Its a basic print document straight from the printout.
I am still perplexed on the reason that stuff is not downloadable on
the website.
I also enquired on the dev system and was given the game dev page with
youtube videos which is all its got.
There are no software downloads, no downloads of documentation just
those videos.
I was told after looking I have to make up a storyline with 3
episodes, etc.
Its interesting but for me it was a turnoff.
I don't understand why there are no manuals or documentation for the
dev stuff or software downloads or anything.
Its really strange.
I suspect that while the system is made to be played by the blind the
development is meant for the sighted only.
With documentation not readily previded I do wander if this guy
actually means to develop long term.
I mean I will buy all his carts and stick them in a bag I found for
everything but this could be a short term system.
It doesn't seem that this guy has even attempted to load text
documentation online and that should be reasonably easy.
I also got back a responce on braille dots on letters and aparently
his responce was expense again and that the blind had no trouble and
that sighted people pressed the lights instead.
I do wander to be honest if this guy is actually serius on
survivability of the system.
Maybe he is just starting out so I will give him the benefit of the
doubt here especially as this is v1.
But if he doesn't buck up his ideas I suspect the only reason he will
survive is he is the only one but eventually as things update he will
go the way most do and I think thats a shame.
The fact he is active is because old gens like myself still remember
the old systems.
It will be interesting what will happen after we jump dimentions.
I suggest those that want it enjoy it because I suspect the way this
is set its life isn't that long and its got so much potential.
