Hey, Thomas. The reason someone should keep making games for the blind is because if you and others don't do it then nobody will. I do have to say that I am glad people like Jim who does kitchensinc.net games do it for the enjoyment of making people happy to be able to play games without

Hi Michael, Well, like Charles mentioned the really big issue is time. The lack of money may certainly be a factor why someone will stop producing games, but the time it takes is definitely a factor. It isn't necessarily as easy as setting time aside to create accessible games because I've

Short answer, no there isn't. As Justin hasn't developed gamesfor a while due I believe to a far more demanding job I'm not sure if there will be a pipe 3 ever, though bsc have recently refurbished their website so it's possible they're thinking about getting back into developement. Myself

Fair enough tom I was just attempting to be hopeful. While I understand the reasons behind Justin's decision, this is I think quite a shame, in fact this seems a generalized pattern in audio game developement I've noticed, people come, develope a game or two, but due to other commitments

Hi Hayden, Yeah, I have to agree with you there. A name like www.blindsoftware.com sounds like something APH etc would come up with to promote some blindness related software. As a company name it is lame as all get out. Justin would have been further ahead, in my mind, to rename it BSC Software
