Yeah it looks that way, a lot of the big blind gamer companies well
not all of them obviously but a lot of them are either concentrating
on the msmartphone markets or simply not releasing anything pc related.
The ag forums team of opensourcers and hackers did keep things going
but thats stopped to.
Most stuff is for android or the i devices mostly the latter.
This was part of my rants a bit ago, it feels like just about
everything has died or stopped for an extended length of time.
I can't name who has stopped but as a whole its stopped.
Its just possible that with the rise in access especially for the ios
devices the blind community is seriously having second thoughts about
where to go.
Right now myself, the next revolution in gaming for the pc needs to
be the touch screen and in particularly even though this will
probably disadvantage a large percentage of the community at large
for some time the windows8 system.
A lot of stores are pulling out of pc gaming in general for cds at any rate.
Mostly because the games now are all cloud based web games or simply
using things like steam, etc.
I think the market is switching from a lot of standalone games to
multiplayer games of large size.
I still like the pc games but that market is getting smaller and
smaller as pcs well focus is shifted to handheld devices.
I'm not suggesting that the pc game market is totally dead and I
don't think it is the end of gaming for the blind or gaming for pcs
in general but its quiet out there.
Even when I go online these days bar the occational security update,
virus or hacker attack on the network or news article the net is
slowed right down for me at any rate.
I can't explain it but thats what it is.

Hi all,
Okay, I am looking at the Audiogames.net website for something new to
play, something interesting, and correct me if I'm wrong but it seems
the only accessible games that seem to be under active development and
are being talked about these days are games for iOS. It seems the
accessible PC games have just stopped or are rapidly being taken over
by games for smart phones and tablets. The only PC games I can see
that I haven't tried are the Japanese audio games like Bokura No
Daibouken which I have no intentions of trying unless a fully English
version is produced that doesn't require translation from Japanese to
English. Otherwise I don't see much new I haven't tried. I can't go
for iOS because I don't as yet own my own iPhone or IPad so that's an
instant out, and the game has to run on Windows or Linux.
So have any suggestions for me what to play? I don't want to play
Swamp or Road To Rage because I am not really into player verses
player games. I want something I can download and play solo. I've
tried Jim's new Press Your Luck, and it was good for what it is, but I
want something more with exploration, adventures, etc. I don't really
see anything like that for the PC these days. I'm sure there is
something out there be it a mud, web based RPG game, or an audio game
that will suit but I just as yet don't know what to try.
Cheers!
