Hi all, I'm looking for programmers who want to help make games more accessible to the hearing impaired and deaf. I'm hearing impaired myself and find a lot of games to be really difficult to play, depending on the game. A game like The Last Express is impossible because few of the voices are subtitled. A game like Doom3 is also hard to play because of the sounds of enemies coming from all directions and I might miss important audio cues. That's why with the help of some programmers I created the Doom3[CC] mod which was very well received. I want to take this idea of closed captioning in games to the next level. I have ideas for creating tools and a closed captioning engine that developers can plug into their game's code base that will help them close caption their game. I can't do this alone though, which is why I'm asking here if someone would like to help? I've got a lot of ideas to share and I think it'd be an awesome project to work on. Thanks, -Reid http://gamescc.rbkdesign.com/
