Hi Tom.
Well while I take the point about redundency, between Phil's fantastic games
list on Pcs and Applevis, there are already some quite adequate resources in
terms of letting people know what games are available aside from
audiogames.net, and bare in mind these days your probably talking aa good
500 or so games ((audiogames.net currently has 470 or so games in the db and
there are still many to add).
Given that you already have a lot on, I'm not therefore quite as certain
whether a full scale audeasy database would justify the massive amount of
time and trouble it would take to create, particularly sinse I can certainly
confirm audiogames.net is very regularly backed up and thus will be back
sooner or later, hopefully sooner, ---- heck given that the site survived
the fire that happened at the gameaccessibility sig offices a few years ago
I don't think your getting rid of us quite that easily :D.
One suggestion I do have however and one thing audeasy could definitely do
would be some assistance with games news.
I remember that the audeasy magazines used to have a section detailing news
on what developments had been made game wise in the preceeding couple of
months. Even if we're not at the point of reviving the audeasy mag, a
quarterly roundup of game news anddevelopments on the audeasy site would be
a very helpful thing, especially if audiogames.net goes down, though iit'd
probably be nice to have anyway.
Another really useful function which an audeasy website could perform could
be to have some "introduction to audeaiogames" type faqs or articles, that
detail a list of important titles, where people should start, explain need
for headphones etc. As well as a general introduction, such faqs could also
cover historically important games, games for specific devices like Ios or
android, what games exist in genre x etc.
That sort of specific guideance would be a great service, and also a unique
thing not currently provided by audiogames.net or pcs or any of the other
sites.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
