Hi Al.
i've had a word with the developers. The bad news is they can't change the
capture, sinse it's a standard google one and it's google who've changed
their system. I've attempted to contact google about this, sinse while I
found their old captures doable with decent headphones, their new ones
aren't, and an accessibility option that is utterly unusuable is no good at
all.
it was a pain in the kneck to track down google's contact address though,
and their phone number wasn't working at all so i don't hold out great hopes
there, ---- quite ironic as I rememb er at one time E-mailing google support
was incredibly easy.
As to Godville though, the developers are willing to invite people to create
accounts, which avoids the capture, so that's a good way around.
As to the game, i think I see the problem, sinse rather than using standard
controls on the pages they've simply got text that can be clicked on, so for
instance to encourage you literally need to just mouse click on the word
"encourage" it's not a button or a link or anything. With Hal this is
doable, but I can see why it would be a problem with other programs.
i suggest you just tell them in as honest a way as possible what is not
working, and suggest a fix, ---- particularly if you've seen a similar sight
that does the same thing and so can give a reference.
In general the game sort of reminds me of progress quest, but a more serious
version.
All the best,
Dark.

Hey Dark,
I got trimmed (I am so ashamed) so I just wanted to say that I agree with
you completely on that score.
I am also thinking about contacting the game developers about certain
things on the web browser side of the game about some of the controls,
although I have no idea how to tell them the proper way to fix it to make
it more accessible. Any hints on that?
