I think the fault was mine. I think that, usually, when you come across a
game that is not playable by blind people, your first step would be to
contact the developer, explain the problem, and maybe give suggestions on
the solution. Michael has asked questions on the list that had very simple
solutions if he had looked just a bit farther, or that he would have been
able to resolve by applying the obvious first steps. I saw his post about
this game, and it was just like all of the others. No details are given
about what his problem is. I had not heard of the game, and he said nothing
about it other than the fact that a blind person cannot play it and he wants
to. I sent my post based on the fact that he probably had not done the
obvious before asking list members. That was my mistake.

Charles,
There is no effective way to make minecraft blind accessible without
changing the game into something entirely different. A good way to
think about it is to compare swamp to the original unreal tournament;
they are both FPS games, but that is where the similarity ends. There
is no way whatsoever for a visually impaired person to be competitive
in UT, and no way to change it to make it so without destroying the
game.
Don't bug the developer. You'd be better off grabbing the relevant
concepts and trying to make a new game from the ground up.

Subject: [Audyssey] MindCraft for the blind.
Hello.
I have notice that everybody that I know is playing this very popular
game
call MindCraft.
I would like to give this game a play, but sadly enough I am not able
because I am blind.
So I am wondering if there is an accessible version of the game, or a
game
simular to it?
Thanks!
