I can attest that windows 10 has made ridiculously amazing improvements.
I haven't touched internet explorer since 2017 - google chrome is my go
to browser.
Hope everything gets sorted for you, Phil.

I love Windows 10 especially on my newest computer. Two completely separate
hard drives in this one which means I can and do use the bigger one of the two,
which was completely empty to begin with, which means no more annoying
permissions errors that I ran into a lot on Windows 7. All my computers now
run Windows 10, and everything works pretty darn well. Learning curve, yes,
but now I can zip around quite easily and do things.

dude, why use windows 8.1? Go get windows 10.
Windows Vista was the worst, windows 8.1 is slightly better, but windows 10 has
gone from really bad to being ok.
cheers

Damien,
I am Phil Vlasak and have been doing all my games on a Vista computer.
It has been slowly breaking down, not allowing me to use Internet
Explorer and email as I was used to.
I am in the process of switching to a Windows 8.1 laptop, but this
requires me to switch to FireFox, Thunderbird and NVDA screen reader.
I switched my web site to:
http://www.pcs-games.net
adding a dash btween PCS and games.
I also dropped using p...@pcsgames.net <mailto:p...@pcsgames.net> for
too much spam reasons.
I now get and respond to messages at, philfv at sign bex.net I will
be attempting to update my web site which I have been ignoring for
over a year.
I do check out the audio games forum and post comments.
I was part of the A Hero’s Call beta team which took up a lot of my
time in 2017.
I can still send out new registrations for the Sarah game so just
send me your computer code and if I have you as a purchaser of the
game, I wil send you a new key.

Hi there,
Here is what I know of.
I unfortunately had to close X-Sight down in 2014 due to a massive
hard drive crash. I am now thankfully recovered from that (meaning I
was able to reobtain my sound and music libraries etc) but
unfortunately I can never get my old code back. I never quite had the
motivation to make new games after that, especially since I want to
make a move away from BGT and am struggling with that to such a
degree that it has lowered my confidence considerably.
BSC Games disbanded a fair while ago, leaving the keygen and several
games available for download via the Audio Game Archive. DanZ also
has his own website with old games and patches, but his programming
skills have far surpassed the games mark now and so I wouldn't be at
all surprised if he has a full time job as a head programmer or something.
XLStudios closed down a long time ago.
Lighttech Interactive seems to be active in so far as the website and
downloadable games, but we haven't heard from them for a while now.
Philip Bennefall has his website still up at Blastbay, but again his
endeavours are concentrated a lot more now with Elias, a dynamic game
music engine which PsychoStrike, the Gate and a few Leasey games make
use of.
I believe Draconis are still active in their own way, though again we
haven't heard from them for a while. I think we can also safely say
the same for Phil Vlasak of PCSGames and David Greenwood of GMA.
I have no idea what happened to Che Martin (his cardroom is still up,
RailRacer is down, and he seems to not be getting his emails). The
same can be said for the guy who made Entombed, and Marco Steinebach
of Mardy, who made Mississippi. I am especially interested to contact
him, as I legitimately bought the game but can't play it on my
current machine, thanks to machine-based registration.
BPCPrograms have closed the doors, but have made 3D Velocity open
source. Same goes for Playing in the Dark and TopSpeed.
On the other extreme, people who have disappeared off the radar
without so much as a tiddly doo are such as James North, Jeff Gibbons
of Bavisoft, and Igor Khmelevtsov of VIPGamesZone. The latter is
another one which causes quite a few issues for people who have
legitimately purchased their games but can no longer play them any
more with the online registration whose servers are now nonexistent.
The only developer of the early games era who I know to be still
actively developing and maintaining games, albeit to a lesser degree,
is Liam Erven of L-Works.
Other than that, we are now moving forward with new enthusiasts such
as Aaron Baker, Nick Adamson and Jeremy Kaldobsky, people who I
believe are still testing the waters like Sam Tupy, Mason Armstrong
and Colton Hill, and then the Japanese crowd who have gone and taken
audiogames to a whole new level.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Damien.

Hello.
Earlier today me and a friend got talking about all the developers
of games that blind people can play.
So it made me wonder this.
Where is all the developers at?
I know about Jim Kitchen and Thomas Ward.
However what about those developers who are still alive?
Thanks.
