I agree charles.
And its actually not that hard to multidevelop for screenreaders now,
with the screen reader api its easy enough if you know how.
Out of all the readers, nvda is the one I'd go for being opensource
and non restrictive.
And to be honest outputting text on screen is fine to.
there are console apps to.
I don't know where you got that idea from darrin but its not as bad
as that at least not for a couple years or so.
It costs a lot to get into development of an i device and the device
costs a lot.
Android is another thing but still it has its own requirements.
the pc is still the market for now.

The fact that there are so many screen readers is why most audio
games either use sapi or have their own voices, isn't it?

I think though sooner or later a lot more games will be developed for apple
devices over windows because voiceover is built in. which is going to make
it easier for finding the relevant information in order to make it work.
With windows the developer not only has to make it work with the os but also
with third party screen readers and it's the fact that there are multiple
screen readers which is the problem.

The only game I know of under development for Windows is Three
Monkeys. It's going to be an audio action roleplaying games using
binaural sound. That should be pretty awesome. News of accessible Game
development has always been very slow in coming for numerous reasons.
The only area where I think this has really changed is with games for
the iOS devices like iPAD or iPHONE. Some developers have gotten a lot
more hesitant to post news about games they're working on since people
are inevidably disappointed when things are delayed.

Hi Lindsay,
Yes, there are still accessible games for Windows being developed.
Although, you don't always here about them on this list there are
various new games available that have been written in the last few
months or so.
From Draconis Entertainment we have their Silver Dollar game for
Windows as well as for Mac. Draconis has also released Change Reaction
2.0 for Windows as well.
From Blind Adrenaline we have Rail Racer 2.0 in beta, and should be
made available as a full version sometime in the next few months.
On the Audio Games Forum someone has recently rewritten Hack by
Daniel Zingaro in BGT and released it as freeware for Windows.
Then, of course, I myself am still developing games, but do to time
and circumstance haven't been able to bring any of my projects to
release just yet. However, I can say there are more games coming from
me hopefully in the not too distant future.
In short, while games for the PC are seemingly few and far between
that doesn't mean nobody is developing them. they are still under
development even if it seems like they aren't.
Cheers!
