That's the point Josh. Mainstream game designers have enough clout to see
that, barring more or less divine intervention, the law won't be changing
anytime soon, and certainly not without more money than we can afford to
fork over. As for the standard programming language, that's also not going
to happen since each developer has the language that he or she is most
familiar and comfortable with. So as much as I hate to say it, this probably
isn't going to happen.
We are the Knights who say...Ni!

Subject: [Audyssey] drastic change for audio games
Hi,
As I said before, first we gotta change the law. second, decide on a
standard for audio game programming. third, make a good solid game
company, made of multiple people, assigned their own task or tasks to make
game creation more effective. perhaps collaborate through skype and
dropbox. next change the law so games in a specialised format for people
with disabilities may include sounds story lines plots music and
characters from video games as longg as the game is in a specialised
format for people who are blind visually impaired or similar disability
that prevents them from playing that brand new accessible video game
console.
now, when the company has enough money, the company should save some. now
use that money to develop your own game console, or take a standard
console, re-flash and modify it for accessibility by disabled people. now
go to game conventions and show off your new game console. eventually my
brother and sister's generation, and even my generation will get old, lose
eye-sight, and won't be able to play their favorite video games. so lets
make a kind of national library or international library service nls for
video games in specialised format. Sorry guys I'm not a programmer, just
putting out ideas. now to make a great game, lets compare it to a book. a
sighted person can go out and read a harry potter book, get it in print, I
can sit down beside that person with my audio book or braille book from
nls and read it, talk about and enjoy it along with my sighted friend. so
lets incorporate that into games. first, lets put games on instead lets
put them on blueray disks, lots of space, or maybe 32gig flash drives,
read only flash memory. lots of room there to store data. when a blind
person wants to play a game with his or her sighted friend, the person
plugs headphones in, the game turns on accessibility mode when the console
detects headphones plugged in. Point is we can't have one guy here and
another there trying to do it on their own. a company, an organised
company has to be started with both short and longterm goals. laws gotta
be changed so we can make and sell good high quality games, we gotta take
our games to the conventions and really mount a presence there. weneed the
nfb and ACB both involved in this. who cares if you like them or hate them
point is they're a big big organizations and they can help!
but will they?
Josh
