Hi John. Your absolutely correct on quick responses to say game play questions, technical problems or even coding assistance, however that's not the sort of cooperation I was talking about. As I said, I was thinking of developers actually requesting script writers, managers and sound designe

I think the best way to really get games out there would be to attend the ACB and nfb conventions and bring them to the attention of many many blind people and agencies. follow me on twitter @joshknnd1982 On 6/15/2015 2:33 AM, Thomas Ward wrote: Hi Mohsin , I can definitely understand where

Hi Josh, I agree that going to blind conventions is probably the best way to market accessible games to the blind community. Unfortunately, we come back to the problem of money. A lot of audio game developers are blind themselves, are probably only getting SSI for income, so do not have a lot of m

Hi Tom. Conventions might be problematic, partiuclarly sinse they only cover certain geographical regions meaning even if the money was raised to send someone the return on new interest probably wouldn't be worth it. I do wonder however if there is an alternative approach. As I have said bef

An alternative is to set up contacts with resellers around the world who go to the conventions already but often they take commission. > On 15 Jun 2015, at 16:17, dark wrote: > > Hi Tom. > > Conventions might be problematic, partiuclarly sinse they only cover certain > geographical region

hey I would like some tips for playing bg chess. I am totally blind so cannot see the screen. I start by moving my pawns out first d2-d4 c2-c4 and then I try to move out the nights g1-f3 and a bishop c1-e3 after first moving a pawn c2-c4. But then it seems to get complicated. Do I have to exami

Hi Knick. that is an idea, though reselling is also quite a pain to setup as well, particularly sinse in the past when it's been tried with audiogames it hasn't worked out well. All the best, Dark. There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is vast and wondrous stra

Hi Josh. Effectively your asking how to play chess and that is a complex thing. Short answr, should you examine the hole board and try to predict what your opponent will do? yes, that is how to play chess. This is why I personally cannot play chess examining the board square by square on comp

Hi Dark, That might work assuming a game developer can get the blindness organizations interested in promoting their games or allowing their clients to see the article on audio games. The problem is I find NFB and other organizations like it very institutional about various things and may not be a

Hi Dark, The organizations here probably wouldn't come out and say blind people aren't interested in games, but I have a feeling it would go against their self-image. I could be wrong about this but it seems like a lot of organizations here try to pass their clients off as professional blind men a

Oh ahhh yes! I recently got told that too. Odd in my opinion but it is okay for sighted folks to play games on their PC tablet or phone, also sometimes used for work. I don't understand.
