Generally the major lack in accessible games can be somed up in one word, complexity!

We have lots of very good arcade style and quick reaction type games of the hear and react type, ---- though Rithm rage is the first legitimate rithm action we've had with more complex gameplay than boppit, however there has been a propensity of space invader games where a player hears a ship on the left or right sterrio, center and fire, arcade run around closed arena style games, and also adaptations of traditional games such as blackjack, solitare, hearts, monopoly etc. Same in effect goes for sports games.

Of course there are a few more complex games such as first person shooter or adventure, rpgs, a few more complex vehicle sims, military stratogy or civilization building, however those are areas where we badly need more representation, indeed to get an idea, you can use the "search games" function of the database to look at games of different genres and you'll see how many of which type there are.

I personally would love to see a huge complex rpg with a massive world to explore and detailed combat system, (though Manamon has gone somewhat to redressing that balance), or a major single player civilization building game where you could make and manage things in extensive detail, however both of those would be pretty huge projects.

If you fancied going the Rpg route you could look at adapting a none traditional board game, possibly with a fantasy theme and enough randomness to be replayable. I've always fancied games like talisman or dark tower but have been quite unable to play them due to lack of an accessible version.
Similarly, lots of people including myself would love to see a ccg, complex card game of the none traditional sort too.

If on the other hand you wanted to create something with more of an action flavour, you could either look in to creating something in either the action or adventure genres as a first person game, or if you wanted to go heavily into arcade action consider something that could be done with the Ios analogue control. After all, games like Guitar hero, dance dance revolution etc are not accessible, and the potential to use a hand held device for more complex manipulation tasks is always a great way of raising a game's challenge.

Just avoid the "hear it, hit it" type of gameplay and you'll probably be okay .

Thanks Dark.

I have an itch to write a single player space based RPG. Its also a challenge to develop efficient, non-visual interfaces, that add to the game.
I think I can do complex too.

Hello I'd like to see more fps multyplayer games.

@Freeman69, a space based rpg game would certainly get my vote, particularly since thus far mmorpgs and space based muds are about the closest we've got, I've always longed for something space based with a real exploration feal and alien galaxy to explore. indeed I loved the 2D metroid games like Metroid fusion, zero mission  and super Metroid which my level of vision could just about handle.

Are you thinking more action or turn based? and which platform?

Depending upon what your considering mechanics wise you might want to look at some previous offerings to get an idea of how certain mechanics have been represented previously, eg, movement in first person if your thinking that way, and the best way of mechanics like audio map overviews and menu review if your considering something more turn based.

That sounds awesome. I'm afraid I've not tried cyberdine since       I couldn't get the google drive download to work, (it winjed about me using xp).

oh, and yes I will be getting the so called upgraded windows machine later this year now that there are actually interesting things that require it rather thajn just because "microsoft don't support it" and prefer to break backwards compatibility and bugger up the interface than actually make something as good as what we had previously.

either way I'll be looking forward to seeing the game.

@Aaron, crytically the problem and the major difference between Streets of rage, golden axe, final fight, alien vs predator, and even more modern games like dragon age as compared to audiogames like superliam or the zompocalypse demo is one of perspective.

Audio 2d games have mostly worked on effectively a one dimentional plane, ie you hear it on the right and move up to it. Even the jumps through the air have been effectivelygiving your character the property to move along that one dimentional plane whilst not effected by ground based dangers such as pits for a short time while the bup arrow is pressed.

A true 2D game like street fighter or mario would as we've said before make far more of the second dimention, indeed in games like guilty gear or night stalkers, character's movement through the air can be a deeply complex thing.

What made the walk along beatemups difficult, is that they were, as one person described, 2.5 dimentional. I'll try and explain.

If you imagine your keyboard as the playing area of a game like final fight, and your character always facing either right or left, with enemies appearing on the right or left. If you begin on the letter a you could attack right to an enemy on the letter s, or you could move upwards to the letter q, and attack enemies on the letter r, or downwards to the letter z and attack enemies on the x key. You could not directly turn either up or down, you are always facing left or right and can only attack left or right. when you hit jump, you would move up into the air above the a key and could say attack an enemy on the s key with a jump kick, but you couldn't attack an enemy on the q key above you.
Now however is where things get complicated, and where the tactics come in.
suppose for example you are on the a key and see an enemy coming up the upper row above you, and one just above you on the q key. Well what you might do is hit diagonal up and jump, and jump from the a key to the w key, then use a special attack that hits on both sides to take out both the enemy on the q key, and the incoming enemy on the e key. Now however your at the top and enemies are coming up from the bottom row, from the x and c keys, so you need to move down and get to one side to hit them.

This is what made the walk along beatemups so challenging. both you and enemies always had to maneuver into a position where you could attack effectively, using jumps which would sometimes put you temporarilly out of danger. R bear in streets of rage 2 for example is a tough boss because though he has a very short reach, he runs in small diagonals around you, plus has the ability to jump from somewhere above or below you right onto you in a diagonal pattern when he uses his body splash move.

I'm not saying this would be impossible to do in audio. It's possible you could use pitch changes for the steps of enemies coming in above or below, though whether audio representation would be fine enough for you to be able to track as many enemies as some of those old beatemups had on screen at once, especially when your talking about enemies with different ranges of attacks  or charge moves I don't know, however bare in mind when your saying "The audio beatemups are lacking" your raising a far more complex problem than just "where are the combos"

Indeed I actually wonder if for an audio brawler, we'd be better with something in full first person view so that you can more easily distinguish all the sounds and positions of enemies around you, their distances and likely range of attacks as compared to your own, something like a more complex form of a blind legend though with mouse movement aiming and controls like those in swamp as opposed to the swipe method.
