Hi
I'm also blind and from Finland.
I once Had the chance to write a song with Mikko. He's a really nice guy and a pretty good teacher too. :)
I'm currently studying sound engineering for visually impaired people in Sweden, so I'm not the guy you're looking for. but I'l share this with some of my visually impaired friends.
Tell Mikko I said hi! :)

Hi David.
I've shared the info with my vi friends, but don't get your hopes up. I don't have that many friends :(
Jokes aside. I Might want to get in touch with Mikko again. thanks for sharing. I've been interested in taking up programming lately, so it might be nice to ask someone how accessible programming has become since the time when my dream was to become a game developer.

Hi Raf\_Al
Sure thing. Get in touch with Mikko! He might however not be able to answer so much about accessibility for programming, but on audio engineering, since he has been working as a freelance on that field for already 20 years. So he knows about that a lot.
Programming, e.g. coding, I think is pretty accessible nowadays. Game implementation is bit different, since game engines might not be perfect yet.
Perhaps if you have read some of our other posts on $1 and $1, we are also working on developing our own game engine, called IMAGE, which should be fully accessible once it is ready. And I know we are not the only ones working on those kind of things.
