Hi Thomas,
I know that a beginner won't do highly complex games from the start.
That is true.
However the ones like Justin or Liam or Dan had some rather complex games
compared to simple board or card games.
Look at the unlockables in Judgment Day for example.
But after that you heard not much from Liam in terms of big projects for
whatever reasons.
The last commercial project was Super Egg Hunt Plus.
But if he supposedly still sells it, then there is at least in theory no
reason to drop Super Liam or Judgment day.
I know that real life can get in the way and that this might be the reason
why we had some people leave permanently.
But this did for example not explain why Justin did not make his originally
paid games free if he was not going to give further key replacements to
previous customers.
While his final special offer was good for me personally, since I didn't buy
his games up to this point, for people who already owned one or two games it
was not an ideal option.
And if he generally said he wanted to drop all support for these titles,
then he could simply have released his unlock code generator like Dan did
with his legal unlock patches and no one would have screamed foul play or
something similar.
And of course you are right when you say people born blind might not know
the difference between Entombed or Warcraft.
However there are such things as anime, movies, TV shows or fantasy books.
And such large fictional universes nmight not be used in audio game
development due to copyright issues, creating a similar setting than
described in such media might be legally possible.
You atempted the same in basing your Mysteries of the Ancients around Tomb
Raider, even if you couldn't legally use Lara.
This doesn't prevent you from creating a fictional tomb hounter named Anna
with a gun and a magical sword just as an example.
On the other hand, I know of at least one German gamer (I know him
personally) who wants to try Final Fantasy 13 on Steam and owns a PC edition
of Injustice: Gods among us Ultimate Edition.
I don't know how playable it actually is for blind people, but if blind
people partially can play it, then it means that some blind gamers who were
born blind want to expand their knowledge by going mobile or by trying such
games.
If you know what the following mainstream titles are, I'd really like to see
an accessible or audio version of Fate/Stay Night or some more Japanese
games.
I also wonder if we'll ever get something like Star Trek Bridge Commander,
since that should be partially playable in its mainstream form as well.
