Hi Ron, As a game developer I am always interested in what styles and genres of play are most in demand by the gamers at large. I hardly if ever see any good articles on the matter. I have however seen comments about gamers wanting to play sighted quality games, but that level of game play is extremely dificult to reach on more than one level. The programming is difficult, and as I am discovering with my Tomb Raider experimental project true 3D environments are almost impossible to relate to in an audio only format. How exactly do you signal to the new player look up because the exit out of the room is in the celing, and you will have to find a way up there, pull yourself through, and continue on with your adventure. It is tough to design and describe such an environment. Then, there is text adventures. Allot of folks like them, I wouldn't mind writing some, but I am not clear how many folks would pay money for such adventures. I can create them easy enough, make them multiplatform, etc but unless there is financial interest in text adventures there isn't much sense in producing them.
