Well William that kind of thinking of staying in the past has hurt us as a blind community. We need to be more aggressive in all we do.
We already have a stereotype that each and every one of us have to deal with. I faced them every day of my life since I started to work. I was forced to work triple hard to move up in my job because of all the preconceived and sit back attitude. Maybe there are a lot of people who like side scrollers and such which is their right and I respect. However, it is time for game developers to try new things which may put us as blind gamers on more of a even plain as our counter parts. Just like Thomas, when I was a younger man, I was able to see and maybe because of that I want to see advancements made in games for us. If you want to spend your gaming time on or with the same old same I respect that and there are a lot of gamers who are willing to develop such including Thomas. Thomas has said he will continue to develop side scrollers and such but also to try first person games. How do you know if you will like it, succeed in it etc until you give it a try? Why is it that the blind community is so cared of new things? Look at rail racer which brought in new things. Look at the resistance Che faced until it was released. I think as a blind community we need to embrace all changes good and the unknown. -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of William L.

The ideal RPG has yet to be written, I think. If I weren't engaged in the pursuit of writing novels, I would try to fill the gap myself. All you're saying to me is that you're personally sick of RPG's. Well, that's fine, guy, but I think you're in the minority. --Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "mike maslo" <mmaslo1...@swbell.net> To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Sunday, December 27, 2009 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] The future of Blastbay Studios > Why another rpg though?
