well they have only just started, they are on holoday for a few months. they will be back. If they wern't I'd aggree with you that compaired to the rest of us their stuff is a load of low level crap. The sdm game is simple, but then it is the first. In their defence even if sdm crappy that it may be in the big scheme of games like sod and other games is, it is that no one in their right mind has actually put arcade, side scroller and 3d together. Ryan found it hard, so even if he closes for good, and his game gets shoved over by something like the flight sim bpc is working on, I still feel that another stepping stone has been achieved in gaming in general. Not just blind gaming but actual gaming. I have yet to see a sighted game that can pile all those into 1. The next steps will include the following. 1. stratagy, adventure if style gameplay, 2 multiplayer, etc. I think the next hard leap in the industry will be to put what we have together. We can run multi, strat, sport and a few other things, some in pairs but never in 3s. Next is the step to multiplatform, linux, mac, etc games, I know some of you are already doing it or at least thinking about it. Another thing is to move into the cellphone market. I'd also like hybrids, graphics and sound type games. I know these are real hard to produce, but this is one reason the sighted don't seem to want to play, doesn't relate to them. One friend is generally intrested about sightless games but the other wants graphics. And while It used to be the case that blind users had to run because of cost on sower computers for extended periods longer than their sighted counterparts, it is getting cheaper and cheaper to get a faster than light system. A pc desktop can cost from 600-3000 with all software, 600 for the system with nothing in it. I payed 1300 for this duel core system, it included extra ram, high definition audio and video, wireless, network, usb bluetooth and a modem. Not to mention free coppies of vista and xp along with norton internet security, granted I won't use that stuff but thats quite pricy software. The point being is that programmers can now afford to say this games needs a 1 ghz cpu, 1.2g of ram and 10g of hard drive space. The only drawbacks are video cards, however as long as you work in the ratio of 64 to 128 with no 3d exeleration you are still ok.
I am shocked really, about how much things have changed since the last systems I have had. The previous one cost 3000, it came with the system, xp home, office nero and that was about it. 2 usb, a network and a modem and the system. The one before that cost me 6000, and came with the low grade home os, a modem, and a faulty main board. Before that I had a broke usb port, ended up doing an install of a system not designed for the system, and started out with no internal synths. Before that I was on a specialised system, costing me about 8 or more grand, with wordperfect, and dos and keynote software. Not much else. Things have changed since then. My system thanks to usb has an array of modules surrounding it. A dvd writer, net hub, usb hub, external drive, this may be 2 drives soon, floppy drive and speaker set. I could never dream of having anything like that when I first started. My first system could have extra keyboard, a mouse, a modem and a printer or external disk drive. Rs games is only resting. Before someone decides to go at me, this is not a flame against rsgames or anyone else. sdm for what is is real chalenging, and a good game. However I have not heard such a depressing message as the one below. will you may have not thought it depressing but it sort of sounded like, well rsgames is gone, they have only produced one game that is really not much, quite crappy and so, so and they probably will not come back, etc. Yeah I know that may be an exaduration but that is what it sounded like on this end.
