Hi Ryan,
Correct. By blind people I was actually referring to those people who disagree with the fact that images of any kind should be used to make our products more marketable to sighted users. I'm a totally blind person myself, but don't have any objections to using some graphics if that would interest sighted players in my products. Assuming, of course, it is within my financial means.
For example, in Mysteries of the Ancients, now Ark of Hope, I purchased some icons of Greek temples, shields, swords, spears, tablets, and so on. While it strictly wasn't necessary I think it adds a little more professionalism to the game by using professional looking icons, and just looks better than a blank program launcher with some text on it. I'm working on a splash screen that comes up with an ancient Greek temple and the logo Tomb Hunter: The Ark of Hope on it. That's easy enough to do. Just purchase a picture of a Greek temple and have someone sighted add the title to the picture using Photo Shop or some other creditable image editing software.

Okay now I understand. When Tom was saying "blind people," he was saying "blind people who aren't me." I gather that's what you're doing in the message below, because I know for a fact you're blind, too, and you don't mind a graphic in the game. Thanks for clearing that up. Best, Ryan
