nick, I don't value your game because it needs expensive hardware
braille display thing I can't afford.
I don't have the cash to donate anyway, but still because I can't
afford a braille display it may as well be a pile of crap.
You may be better served making something that will support the
general computer user to be honest.
There isn't even a demo of how it sounds.
I don't mean to be harsh but the fact that generaly most users don't
have or can even afford a braille display is probably your problem.
Even if its the best game in the universe if people don't have the
hardware its junky crap because people can't play it.
I admire you for trying to make something for a braille device, but
if no one can play or hardly anyone then it makes no difference.
If I was able to even afford a display then I'd actually probably
find this game good.

Hi all.
Well N A Soft released Dotris, our game for Braille displays about a
month ago and today we had our 100th download. Something which seems
quite hard to Believe.
As I'm sure your all aware that Dotris was developed to publicize
Braille, something I've been doing with a small UK based charity,
the ClearVision library who I chose to support with Dotris.
ClearVision have been really pleased with the amount of publicity
they have had through Dotris and have told me there pleased to be
involved with a project like it. If you've no idea what Dotris is
check out www.ndadamson.com.
I was also hoping to raise money for ClearVision as well as getting
them publicity. I've been really disappointed that no users have
made a donation. Its quite clear on the website and in the game that
its not free.
There are 3 reasons I can think of why users haven't donated.
1. They can't afford to. I'm well aware that money is tight and that
there isn't a lot of spare cache in peoples wallets. If this is the
case then how about asking for it as an alternative Christmas gift.
I'm more than happy to send out emails to users stating that someone
has made a donation on there behalf. Just get in contact with me via
the website and we can work it out.
2. I'm not sure if users know how easy it is to make a donation.
Remember that you don't need to register to make a donation and your
details are completely secure. I never see any account details and
all payments are handled by a large trustworthy company. If you have
concerns in this area which have stopped you donating then again get
in touch and I can answer any questions you've got.
3. You don't value the game. If this is the case then I'd love to
here from you to find out how I can improve it.
I can be contacted through my website or twitter, @n_a_soft
Thanks.
Nick.
