Hi all. I have been interested in discussions about Mac vs Windows and iPhone vs Android for quality and quantity of games. I have been meaning to contact the list for a while with this game and a question. Star Tradors is a game where you take command of a space craft and crew and have to complete contracts for various factions often against each other. The game involves resource management, exploration of the galaxy, and balancing the feelings of various warring factions towards you. It seems to be a very deep game with a lot to do and good replayability as you can play as a number of charactor types with varying advantages and disadvantages such as bounty hunter, merchant and pirate. Also you can choose different ships with different charactoristics making each game different. However the game has been made accessible on android but not on iPhone. A friend of mine who is an android user was in contact with the developer to help make it accessible so I have followed his lead by contacting them about the iPhone version hoping that it would be relatively simple to port code over or make similar changes to the iPhone version to make it similarly accessible. The developer seemed positive on initial communication but has been quiet over the last 3 months since I contacted him. So I emailed him again yesterday and got a quick reply, as I always have from him, but not saying much other than that he is working on it. The thing I found very interesting about the whole thing is that he said they focus on their android version of the game as their android sales far outweigh their iPhone sales. I told him that if the game became accessible I would imagine he would see a reasonably large influx of purchases by blind iPhone users as we are always looking for good deep iPhone games that are accessible. I was therefore wondering if any other iPhone users would drop him an eMail to enquire about the possibility of making the iPhone version accessible in the same way as the android one. The problem I have is not having an android device I cannot see what has been done on there to make the game work. the developer is Trese Brothers, and the eMail address is cory.tr...@gmail.com Thanks to anyone who can be of assistance in making this game accessible. Richard
