I know nothing of programming etc. but it sounds like a wonderful and
immersing project. I am confident when the game gets out, which ever way
it'll be extremely playable to the layperson. It's always nice though to
know a game is made by and for blind people. It give me more confidence
that the game is fully accessable and that the programmer cares where I'm
coming from etc.
That's just my uneducated thoughts on the matter. *grins self-depricatingly*
Have a good night or morning or whenever you read this.
