Hi Damien, Well, it all comes back to what I said earlier on list. What you call advanced is what most mainstream gamers would call normal. As I’ve said many times there is a huge difference between accessible games and mainstream games that is like the difference between night and day. For a lot of you some of the things I’m adding to MOTA beta 18 are new and novel concepts. Maybe advanced considering there haven’t been many accessible games introducing some of the new features I’m about to release in the next beta.
For example, as I was just telling Dark one of the new features is the ability to aim up, down, left, or right to shoot enemies attacking from above, below, left, or right, etc. Not too many accessible games have used this form of combat in even relatively simple 2d plat formers. Yet I can point out a number of mainstream games from the 1980’s and 1990’s that featured exactly this kind of multidirectional combat for years. Why has it taken so long for accessible game developers to begin introducing some of these slightly more advanced concepts? Well, anyway, I don’t think it will be that hard for you or anyone else to begin playing games using some of these more advanced styles of game play. It is simply something new, and will take a little practice to get use to. I certainly hope introducing a number of these concepts doesn’t put anyone off from trying my games, because my only aim here is to introduce other blind gamers to the styles of games I use to play before I lost my sight as well as provide myself the gratification of owning and playing some more sophisticated audio games in the process.
