Re: The rapidly changing landscape of accessibility for blind gamers
i THINK YOU'RE MISISING A KEY POINT iAN, IN THAT IT'S UP TO PUBLISHERS AND DEVELOPERS TO USE WHAT'S OUT THERE.
iF ANYTHING, MY CONCERN IS A BIG PUBLISHER OR HARDWARE MAKER WILL BUY UP....SAY....tOLC NOW WITH THE EXPOSURE IT'S GOT THROUGH THE ARTICLE, AND MAKE IT PROPRIETARY AND LICENSE IT ONLY TO ONE SYSTEM, A LA ms VOICES AND FONTS, A LA sONY'S COSED SYSTEMS AND THEIR tts ENGINE.
tHAT BEING SAID i DO THINK YOU NEED TO SPREAD YOUR ARTICLE OUT MORE, TO THE rOCK pAPER sHOTGUNS, THE tOTALbISCUITS AND jIM sTERLINGS, THE eSCAPISTS OF THE WORLD, THE HIGH TRAFFIC SITES. tHAT MAY WELL GET PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT AND IF THE GAME PUBLISHERS SEE IT'S OUT IN THE GENERAL CONCIOUSNESS THEY MIGH* CONSIDER IT.
* aSSUMING OF COURSE THEY'RE INTERESTED IN IT TO BEGIN WITH AND NOT ANOTHER GENERIC mANSHOOTER xcvmi fps dudbro TYPE GAME REALLY...i DON'T THINK EVERY DEV WILL BE ON BOARD WITH MAKING THEIR GAMES ACCESSIBLE, AT LEAST INITIALLY, BUT SOMEBODY HAS TO BLINK FIRSTAND TAKE THE PLUNGE, RIGHT? i MEAN, sKULLGIRLS 2 HAS AN ACCSSIBLE MENU. dIVEKICK IS A SIMPLE TWO BUTTON FIGHTING GAME THAT USES SOUNDS FOR MOVES SO YOU CAN EASILY LEARN IT...AND IT'S ENTERTAINING TOO, AND THERE'S INDIE STUFF LIKE tHERE cAME AN eCHO.
bOTH OF THE LAST TWO ARE INDIE GAMES, AND BOTH ARE NOT COOKIE CUTTER MASS MARKET GAMES.
