That was very well stated Brian. I could not agree more.

Michael, whe it comes to something like this it's est, even if the
developer seems interested after your initial comunication, to let him
or her come to you with their own questions at first. Andlet them
update us as to the progress should they choose to do so. After all
the developer can't work if he's constantly got to answer Email. Mario
probably felt pressured and nobody likes that feeling. Sometimes it's
best to leave well enough alone. After all it hadn't even been a week.
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

Here is the email that I had wrote and send to Mario and then you be
the judge about it.
Hello, Mario.
First how is everything going with you on this Christmas holiday? I
am wondering how the progress is going on the accessibility for the
game? Is there a new version going to be release?
I would be happy to beta test the new version for you if you are
going to try to add more accessibility support.
I know there are ways to fix the accessibility issues where the game
don't have to be change and both the sighted and blind gamers will
like the game.
It's like I was saying on the forum the other day if you was to give
the audyssey gamers list a try you will meet game developers who are
totally blind and low vision.
The web address is http://www.audyssey.org
It is free to join the list and we would be happy to have you on
there! We disguss gaming for the blind and low vision people.
We talk about accessible games and games that was not meant to be
accessible but can be played by a blind person.
And we also talk about games that are not accessible to the blind and
low vision people.
I feel that we can work togather to improve your wonderful game for
both blind and low vision and sighted people alike.
I just got done working with another developer who had never knew
about accessibility for people who are blind and low vision.
When we put to together my first ever IOS app he said that he would
like to work with me again to make unaccessible items into accessible
for the blind and low vision people.
He also stated that he would still be making things for the sighted
aswell. The reason I share this with you is for the reason to show
the importance of accessibility and working with people to help to
improve this on your game.
If you would like to talk about this further please feel free and
give me a call my number is.
706-979-0275
While talking to you on the phone I can play the game and show you
where and how you can adapt it for the blind and low vision people.
Look forward in hearing from you thanks for your game and your
