Ah good point, it would be interesting to know how much detail will go into the graphics since it seems quite a big and deep game and I imagine coding graphics to it would be a seriously big task since it was designed for the blind in an audio setting. The interesting thing will be the role reversal of what is often talked about on here which is how difficult is it to convert a sighted game to a visual game, as now this company is trying the exact opposite and trying to make an audio game accessible to the sighted, I wonder if that in itself is just as big a task. Either way it will be interesting to see the final result and I'm seriously looking forward to trying this game

This company is doing what I consider to be an amazing thing in trying to include blind and sighted gamers at the same time, and the focus on graphics is a good step in bridging the gap between the two. Inclusive gaming is an amazing idea, and is long overdue in my opinion. I will pledge as well, next week, after I'm able to pay again. lol On 1/14/17, Paul Lemm <[email protected]> wrote: > Just listened to the trailer for this and it sounds amazing!
