If a lot of people write to a developer wanting an app to be made
accessible, this is not pestering. If one person continuously writes
repeated requests, and sometimes demands, for accessibility, that would be
pestering. If several people write with constructive suggestions and well
worded intelligent requests, that will show an interest from a larger gaming
community, showing the developer that it just might be worth his time and
effort to modify the product for accessibility.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Star Tradors
Hello Richard.
You have actually preempted me here. The other day I mentioned talking to
a developer about game access, ---- well that developer was the lead dev
of Trees brothers and the game was star traders (I've also at least begun
exploring the question of their other games but let's not confused the
issue).
Yes, now the updates have been made to the Android version of the game to
make the starmap accessible, and that is good for Android devices, however
with the Iphone it is not the case that the developer is refusing or
stalling, it's simply that they happened to work on the Android version
first as that is the one which has sold most among their sighted
customers.
Apparently the financial situation of the company is not good at the
moment, so they had to focus their efforts first on what will help their
business, and since the access changes also include changes bennificial to
sighted users that's fair enough.
I personally would be against people mailing Trees brothers and pestering
them for Iphone updates. I'm as eager as anyone for a complex Iphone space
game, however the last thing we want is to irritate a developer who has
already shown themselves capable of access changes and has agreed to make
those changes in his own time.
If there is no news on the Iphone version I'll certainly discuss matters
with the developer in a few months myself, but irritating as it is for now
we'll just have to wait, ---- though I do encourage anyone who plays the
game on Android to try the access changes and mail the developer with any
encouragement.
Hope this makes sense.
All the best,
Dark.
