Hi Josh, It is true a lot of blind gamers do tend to like side-scrollers more than say first-person games. I think a lot of that has to due with the fact some have poor spatial orientation skills and have problems playing games like Shades of Doom, Sarah, and Technoshock. Those aren't even full 3d first-person shooters which does raise the question how many would have an even harder time with a truly 3d level and grasping the more complex environment. I guess we won't know until someone creates a full 3d FPS game.
That said, as you are a new programmer creating a side-scroller would be easier to develop. there is less math involved and you can use simple equations to calculate the distances moved up, down, left, or right unless you intend to add some physics into your movement system which would be harder, but much more realistic.
