Hi,
Yeah, and the wait between accessible game releases isn't the only
reason blind gamers are looking at mainstream games. For me personally I
tend to find the majority of audio games produced for the blind do not
hold my personal interest. We have plenty of card games, board games,
Space Invader type clones, but nothing really like the games you can get
for the XBox or Playstation these days. I'm not saying there is anything
wrong with card games, board games, etc but it seams to be the main
focus of audio game developers.
The main reason I have been working on a full 3D game engine for the
blind, fairly similar to mainstream FPS engines, is that I would like to
see more accessible games made like Halo, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider,
Jedi Knight, Gear Wars, etc. Those games really hold my interest, and I
will sit for hours trying to play the mainstream versions, and if there
was an accessible game made like that I'd certainly be spilling my
pockets to get it. However, at this point in time I find myself the only
blind accessible game developer creating a game engine that can make
games on the par with the mainstream games.

Wanna know why? Think about this. When in audio games did we have the
last "big" rlease? Rail Racer which, as of now was released a year
ago. Heck, I don't even know what the last big release was. Been so long.
