Dear Joel and Pixlriffs,
I thought about writing in a few weeks ago, but after this past podcast I knew I had to do it now. I am a visually impaired player of Minecraft. You can imagine my surprise when I heard you read mail from someone else who is a visually impaired player of Minecraft. I can only assume we are a tiny population of people, relatively speaking.
I don’t know how impaired Chefman75 is, but I am fortunate enough to not need magnification when playing Minecraft most of the time. I probably miss some details, but I get along pretty well. I will say I am happy one can adjust the print size of menus. It is interesting to me to hear you two talk about textures and shaders in the game. While I do pay attention to how good a block looks, if a particular texture makes it more difficult for me to play the game in some way, I’m not going to use it no matter how much I may want to otherwise. Function always trumps looks for me. Also, I find that shaders make seeing the game more difficult for me, so I don’t use them.
I have to say that my favorite change coming to Minecraft is that we can change the color of text on signs. That will make for much easier reading!
I look forward to all your future podcasts, especially anything to do with game accessibility.
Keep up all your great work!
Melanie
