I just don't aggree with asabat stuff being what the blind game
should be represented as such.
Now don't get me wrong, they may be a good company, its just that I
feel that they portray the blind as simple people that have no hope.
I have seen the games out there here and on the forum and it disgusts
me that there are people that do not look at what is clearly in front
of them or at least in easy reach.
It disturbs me that some will think that all blind can play is card
and board games when we have clearly gone past that, well we still do
play them but they are not our ownly source of entertainment.
I think organisations for the blind should have more choices.
Is it that they don't know or don't wish to know.
I wander sometimes if they even try, I am sure that its not the case
sertainly I hope its not.
It is still a worry I guess of what other think of me something I
really shouldn't be bothered about but I guess I am bothered.

Whose fault is it that what is produced for blind people in Britain
are produced for the older people? It is the fault of those who
produce the stuff. As for Shades of Doom drawing your attention to
it, and getting you into playing games, this was a good thing,
wasn't it? Why take a negative attitude toward games geared toward
people who cannot see to play mainstream games? I see it as being
positive. As for what is produced, the producers should listen to
the potential customers rather than the stick-in-the-muds of ancient
stereotypical history of ignorance.

Hi Charlse.
when it comes to games like swamp, shades of doom etc, I disagree
they are! designed for "the blind" as you ubiquitously put it.
In britain anything designed for "the blind" is automatically aimed
at the over 70's more often than not, and frankly though there are
some games with that ethos they're not the ones I play or am
interested in, indeed had shades of doom struck me as being aimed
at "the blind" I likely wouldn't have got into audio games at all.
Plus, with how companies like somethinelse, choiceofgames, the
developers of codenamesignas etc work for the Iphone they frankly
don't! just make games for "the blind"
Indeed to be perfectly honest charlse, I rather resent being
grouped myself into a big "the blind" category.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.
