Re: [Audyssey] Star traders 2 support for a game development project
Hey Dark! Thanks a lot for that update. I have never gotten al that far in star traders, found the interface a bit confusing, and were you ever able to navigate without missions to get out of deep space? The devs are also not always that responsive to emails. But still this game seems really awesome so i will certainly check it out and pledge a few bucks (especially since it now finally seems to be possible to use paypal with kickstarter(!) Perhaps its good to spread the word to applevis forums and audiogames.net as well.

Re: [Audyssey] Star traders 2 support for a game development project
Hi Dark, Well i just backed the game. Perhaps if more blind and vi people do this at a sufficient level to unlock alpha testing then there will be accessibility from the start.

Re: [Audyssey] Star traders 2 support for a game development project
Hi Anouke. There is certainly news about this on audiogames.net, though if someone who is a more regular applevis user could pass this on there that would be very helpful, sinse I'm not even registered on their forums and other than dropping the odd comment on a game's entry haven't really used the community features of the site at all (too much on other communities like this one and audiogames.net). About Star traders 1, it did used to be the case that you couldn't navigate without a mission, however that has very much changed in the last few updates. There is now a navigator planet list, which lists all the planets in order of closest first. Also, if you go onto the cargo screenn in your ship's status, you can navigate to positions of any rumours you've found or indeed missions, which is very useful for checking out important information you find in the spice hall. I will admit the game is not easy, but that is because it is a complex and highly intricate game more than because of any access issues. The only major problem I have with the game at the moment is there is no way to know what faction a given planet belongs to other than going there, or if it is a capital, civilized or fringe planet, which makes planning routes across space somewhat tortuous, but it's by no means a total put off. I'm looking forward to what I read of star traders 2, particularly what they say about npcs and quests. I should see about a podcast about the game at some stage. All the best, Dark.

Re: [Audyssey] Star traders 2 support for a game development project
Hey Dark, yes the information about the ne wgame has me extremely excited as well more rpglike and more character/npc/crew interaction and ability to develop, VERY cool. We certainly dont have access to anything like this at this point. I will post htis later today at applevis (dust off my account there). I dont use facebook or twitter at this point but hopefully applevis will give this some attention as well.

Re: [Audyssey] Star traders 2 support for a game development project
Hi. I am hoping there will be access whatever eventually, but certainly it'll speed up the process. I am not sure if the first alpha will be fully accessible or if we will have to wait for things to be added, but according to the developers on the audiogames.net forum it will come, even if they're not exactly sure when. I do agree though, this is a perfect chance for Blind and Vi gamers to step forward and show a developer we're serious about accessible games in a very real way. All the best, Dark.
