I can't believe I'm responding to a post so lacking any resemblence to
meaningful thought....
If anything James is rising from the ashes like the phoenix. He hasn't
released anything for quite some time, and now he finally has something
particularly unique to share. Just because you're too much of an ass to
appreciate it when somebody takes a huge financial risk in creating games
for the blind that require more than basic reflexes and an elementary school
education, doesn't mean you need to complain at every turn. The world is
going toward a multimedia sort of world, if you're not willing to do what's
necessary to ride the wave, that's your problem. Don't drag somebody's name
through the mud before people have a chance to try something which is, as I
said before, fairly revolutionary.
Give me the example of one game for blind people that will enable sniper
firing in a multiplayer environment like the demo indicates is on the
horizon.... Oh wait.... I guess the only one is Max Shrapnel.... I forgot
that James has been working on something that has yet to be done within
audio based gaming.
My advice to Sean, and to anyone else, is to try the demo yourself,
listen to the comments of people who have actually played the thing, read
the documentation, think, think some more, and then offer something
worthwhile of the attention you desperately want from anybody who will give
it to you....
In other words.... Sit down and shut up.
