Tonight, something amazing happened. Two representatives from Out of Sight Games stood up at the IGF Awards to be honored as one of the ID@Xbox Gaming for Everyone Awards. This award is offered to developers who are using their games to speak for an underrepresented population. We're absolutely humbled, honored, and amazed to have been selected, and to have been given this opportunity to advance the conversation of accessibility in gaming. We also owe a huge thank you to those of you who backed this campaign, as it was directly through the Kickstarter campaign that we came to the attention of ID@Xbox to begin with.
So, what's next? Tomorrow, we'll be showing off the game at Microsoft's booth at GDC, and talking with anyone who wants to know more. We're so grateful to have this opportunity to share what we're doing, and to get people thinking about the needs of blind gamers, and the opportunities available for creating games that a diverse range of gamers can enjoy together. And then after GDC, it's back to work finishing the project, and pushing towards a release that will make good on all of the faith that has been placed in us.
