Of course we'd need sighted help with that part, but I have a valid point,
at least my own experience would suggest so. Sighted gamers tend to lose
interest in audio games because of the fact that they tend to have few if
any graphics. I know it would be impossible to do the graphical part
ourselves and it would be time-consuming to get sighted help (and probably
expensive as well), but everything's graphics these days. This XNA studio
thing does have some potential. We just don't know how much yet.
It ain't pretty when the pretty leaves you with no place to go.

but how would we be able to do graphics, surely this would cost us
more unless someone did graphics before the games were put on the market.
ANd then, hello, no resources for audio at all, just graphics.
I've not seen many hybrid games on pc working nicely though.
