Hi Hayden, Yeah, that is easy enough to do. When i release Mysteries of the Ancients 1.0 as a side-scroller I can install it to a directory like Mysteries of the Ancients 1.0. Later if and when I decided to upgrade it to an FPS I can install that version to a directory like Mysteries of the A

Hi tom. I fully agree with you to an extent and distinctly see your position. I first became interested in audio games myself because games like Shades allowed me to play game genres I normally do not have enough sight to, sinse 3D games are far too complex for me to visually cope with.

Hey Tom, Definitely a good call IMHO, makes a lot of sense. All I can say now is I'm looking forward to spending a vicarious Christmas as Angela Carter... which isn't something I've ever had to say before lol. The FPS navigation issues, though I don't seem to have those myself at least with the

Tom, 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 game that raises the bar for some than keep it low so that some can

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. What I

Hi Bryan, Understandable. When I wrote that first post I was pretty much at the end of my rope you could say. I was pretty frustrated, clearly upset, and just sick and tired of being nagged by this group or another. Now, however, I feel much better. I had my say, and we have embarked on a cou

Hi Shaun, Well, I don't think a true 3d FPS would have to be that tough once you and others get use to it. Most of it would come down to being able to describe it accurately for the player. Let's say there was a trap door high up in the ceiling. If you press the view command it would say some

I think those are some good thoughts. I'm glad you won't be limiting yourself to side scrollers, not because I'm good at FPS type games, though I like both types of game play, but because, in my opinion, we already are limited dimensionally as blind people. Our screen readers give us info on a
