Hi Yohandy, Sigh...Weather you realise it or not, not every accessible game out there is just another space invaders clone like Troopenum or Aliens in the Outback. Have you ever tried Entombed, Rail Racer, 3D Velocity, or Time of Conflict? All of these are newer accessible games just coming onto the accessible games market and while they are not mainstream quality they are certainly better than games like Troopenum. I think you need to look at what is available instead of just assuming every single game is just another Space Invaders clone which they are not. However, you've convinced me we need to do something about this all the same. How about you put your wollet were your mouth is and do something about it for a change? Okay you say you want games like Street Fighter 4 if you agree to fit the bill for sounds, music, and pay me a yearly salary I'll go to work for you bright and early Monday morning. I'm absolutely serious. If you can give me a reasonable income, cover my medical, plus provide me the software and tools I need to create the next great Street Fighter 4 for the blind I'll do it, but I can't do it without money and an income to keep a roof over my head and cover living expenses. I'm not going to do it for free. You say the sounds in accessible games aren't good enough for you. How about purchasing the community a sound library of royalty free sounds from Sound Ideas. Last time I checked a cd costs $$300 to $500 a pop. You can easily put $5,000 into a reasonable sound library jjust to get started making games. If you purchase them for me I'll use them. If not then you'll just have to put up with what I can afford on my budget. Basicly, I don't want to shoot your ideas down, be a wet blanket, but you have to get realistic. Just because you want something to be a certain way doesn't mean it is realisticly feasable no matter how much you wish it to be otherwise. If you believe that is feasable all I'm saying is put your money were your mouth is and make it happen or stop complaining about it. If it truly means that much to you personally then start by purchasing sounds, learn to program, and make a contribution rather than blaming us for failing to reach your quality and standards.
