I think that the best thing to do would be to put optional subtitling, so everyone is happy!

Becky -- In a couple of days. We just have to decide on a title.

I also think subtitles are very important, in game and during the videos.

A related topic is deaf gamers. See DeafGamers.com for example. When you´re working on subtitles you could extend your effort a little bit to make sure your game can be solved without audio.

Well, I'm trying to go one better with my next game - no words at all! This is proving to be an exciting challenge! Before you get too excited ... the finished product is at least 2 years away!

Hi

How did I not find this thread till now ????

I am a great believer in the need for subtitles and am very disappointed when there aren't any

Cheers.

Hi!
I need the subtitles, too! I can't always understand the sound so the subtitles help me. Being able to turn them off for folks who find them distracting is a good idea, too!

Hi Peter -- well, I DO like this thread. Any additional info about your new game?

That sounds ideal, Alan, with the option to turn them on or off.

Hi Becky,

Nearer to release there'll be HEAPS of info - for the moment, suffice to say that we're very excited about it and aficionados of Peter Smith's article will be well pleased.

Peter

Looking forward to the HEAPS. Thanks!
