I am not about to read 40 messages, so I will just comment on this first one. I agree with Thomas on his points. While I don't play many audio games mainly because I don't care for the content when I have other games on my ps2/ps3 that I play more, I see it all the time with this community that people aren't happy, that they bitch and moan about keys/cracks of games all the time after a game is released, and even after it's been released. However, you can't put the blind community at 100% fault. The same thing goes on with sighted gamers. But since we are a relatively smaller community it hits a lot harder. If you don't have a thick skin and can just let comments roll off, you're going to quit. This is why I don't develop. One reason is because I don't have the time to do it, the other reason is if I did and started to get a whole lot of complaints, I know I'd explode on somebody. I've said it before. These debs go through a lot of work to create a game for everyone to enjoy. It takes a while to code and find bugs and get rid of them. I'm glad Jeremy has not quit his work because right now, he's the only one that is making modern games for us. If he wasn't here, I doubt that TRTR would've been made or any of the other games that are starting to come out. The same thing happened with Entombed. That was the closest that I've ever seen an audio game come to final fantasy. I'd like to see more like that, however I know that that starts to get harder because with more complex things you want happening, the more code you need to put in/the more time you need to put into the game. Another person who has been working with this for a while is Dentin. He's actually put in code for us to make Alter better and easier to play. Not only does he put up with sighted people bitching at him because equipment gets dented or things are really hard, but he's putting up with the blind community complaining when mush-z doesn't work. Hopefully most of those messages get sent to the right channel but who knows. I don't know if I'll read this thread after I send this message. But I'll repeat what I said at the beginning of this reply. While we are a smaller community, we can not put all the blame on the blind people. This kind of thing happens on a much larger scale with the sighted players. However, if we keep this up pretty soon you're going to have no one left who wants to make games for the blind and then you all will start complaining about how you all have nothing that matches up with what todays consoles have. And whose fault will that be but your own? Not everyone can play todays games on the ps3 or Xbox360. I know I'm having trouble with the little amount of vision that I have. It's almost impossible for me to play anything new that comes out because the print is to small for me to read or I can't see what is on the screen. I know it's way harder if not completely impossible for totals to play anything but fighting games which I can not stand whatsoever. They just bore me after about 15 minutes. As I said, keep it up and see what happens. Mike. On Jun 22, 2013, at 10:00 PM, "Charles Rivard" <[email protected]> wrote:
