what i'm currently doing is making an accessible version of millionaire, but me and steve both had a discussion offlist and we both decided that it might be better to do one just for our own personal use, as celadore or eidos aren't going to allow such measures as the format is so big nowadays.
so maybe if someone who could develop wanted a complete accessible remake of a game they could do it for themselves, but then there lies the question that, ok, it's out there, why aren't we getting a go at it. it's a really sticky situation for all of us. regards, damien ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 4:30 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Illegal activity was: star wars sounds > Hi Che, > > Quote > I respect the work and artistry that folks like Thomas have put into games > like the Star Trek stuff, but I just don't see the need for it, as for one > thing, this type of game has been done with Star Trek sounds, and why risk > getting your development company in trouble with copyright lawyers? > End quote > > I think it is not so much a need, but a desire to see such games.
