Hello,
I'll write to him to ask if he would be willing to implement his games for
android (as he did it for the IOS already). I am aware that here on the list
most people think that IOS is more popular in the gaming comunity, but
believe me, Android has more and more users among the blind in Europe and
Asia (I'm not sure for USA, Australia and Africa though). I would like to be
one of his international helpers, not only as a gamer but also as someone
who knows and can do good and thourrow historical researching.
So yes, I was impressed more than most often when I see a new game or
developer come out on the audiogaming scene.
Best,

Milos, well this was essentually a tech demo.
more will come out at some point.
From what the developer told me this morning over email, there are some
local prototypes to test first, probably with local testers like myself
before others get them outside new zealand.
both on touch and pc.
Right now thats about all I know, as I have only just dumped to him my
contact for international and local since he is in my country.
I will try to keep people up to date.
smeveriss.wordpress.com is the blog I use for most updates.
If I get another project or so or enough to warrent where I get enough I
may create another blog for all that.

Hello,
I think that the question I am going to ask can spoil the game, so please,
read on only if you know a little more about the game or want it spoiled.

Is this all? I get the message that the story will continue soon in the
next part: 1812 the sole of Russia. It's obvious that it is another title,
but there is also a continue button that brings me again the ending
dialog. Is the other title out, or it is included in the game? I ask this
also because the title is a little strange when compared to the Korwin's
diary entry, that is, the 12th of joon and it is not winter time. So I
understood it as a kind of a prolog to the actual game when suddanly it
ends... And if this is the only part available, is it possible that it
took the developer 2 years (or even more depending on when in 2012 he
started)? Not that I am blaming him, I only liked the game! But still, I
remember when Jeremy did Castaways in only a few weeks, and Castaways is
way more complex than this one. And although much time was spent on acting
and sound here, which is not case with Castaways, the actual programming
didn't seam much complex as everything is in lists and menus. Again, I
don't like to sound rood here, so please don't understand my message in
that manner. We didn't have until now a game with this particular
historical setting. Even in the mainstream market you won't find much
games that involve russian-polish conflicts since 15th sentury through the
napoleonic wars as here the case is. So I liked it and probably will
contact the developer at least to congratulate him on this.
Best!

this just came in my inbox.

I am Jarek Beksa. I spent several years developing a computer-based
audio game called 1812: Heart of Winter. I have been delighted to find
that this has been highly entertaining and stimulating to non-sighted
people. And I am also very enthusiastic to carry that work on through
doing a PhD at AUT in supervision with Dr Philip Carter. I want to build
on what we learnt from Heart of Winter and further the development of
audio games. This could include ways to involve users in the
development, identifying the attractive features, creating content,
developing interfaces for blind people, and so on. We are very keen to
meet up with interested people who want to contribute. This involvement
may just be in using the games or it could be more. 1812: Heart of
Winter can be downloaded for free.

I am looking forward to meeting with you and learning how we might work
together.
