Hi Dark,
Yeah, I do see your point as well. There are plenty of games out there
that aren't very accessible to us currently but could be if we had a
decent engine to create them with. I'm working towards that, but it is
not yet in a form a non-programmer could use. At this point I still do a

Yeah, that is easy enough to do. When i release Mysteries of the

I would agree with that assessment. I'll admit I've largely noddled my
own engine after the GMA engine for the plane fact that it is familiar
to me, it has some very excellent features, and it seamed like a great

The one comment I'd make in response to your post is that, though there are
blind people out there who have difficulty navigating 3D environments, there
are also those of us who don't have that problem. I'd much rather have a

Hi Dark,
As I said in my message several people impressed upon me how much easier
side-scrollers are to play, how much more accessible they are, and I do
think it has enormous commercial potential. Therefore it makes sense in
releasing a handful of side-scrollers at some future point.

Hi Shaun,
Well, I don't think a true 3d FPS would have to be that tough once you

Would disappearing passages and a homing signal be useful, say, only at the
