Not (digitial) game dev related, shouting out my friend's product which is a handmade Viking Chess set! Where one player attacks, and the other player tries to escape with their king. https://shopreclaimrepurpose.etsy.com/listing/1454436041/hand-made-hnefatafl-game-portable-travel

@frigginglorious Audio is the main focus, but people will usually add simple graphics if they have time and are able! To get an idea of what is made in a month, here is last year's jam! https://itch.io/jam/games-for-blind-gamers-2/results Then if you wanna know what peak blind accessible gaming looks like, check this out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/989790/The_Vale_Shadow_of_the_Crown/

Trying out a replacement for Etsy that is a co op called https://artisans.coop/ ! Let me know if any of you have experiences with it.

Are there any blind accessibility advocates that would answer a few questions for me about software/video games? I'm mapping out a bigger project based on my proto types and I wanna make sure that what I'm thinking is as accessible as I think it is.

Ericbomb,
@Ericbomb@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@jscholes Oh well it's related to a tool for making games, so any all view points are super helpful! Will message you my question!

Ericbomb,
@Ericbomb@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@weirdwriter @superblindman You know what, I really should reach out to him. I've read some of his stuff and he probably is the perfect person to help me.

Hi everyone! I made a an audio game 3D platformer where you can edit the map just by editing the included CSV files. Would love to know what you all think of it as I'm thinking of having other projects have editable CSVs!

Ericbomb,
@Ericbomb@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@dylan_the_cheetah yeah it's just a single player where you can build your own maps then share maps if you want! This is mostly a proof of concept though so I'm not concerned about it.

Ericbomb,
@Ericbomb@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

@afreytes Oh can't believe I missed this! Yes a tutorial is a very good idea, I'll have to see about that!

@Ericbomb@mastodon.gamedev.place avatar

The next jam I plan on joining! https://itch.io/jam/synth-jam

Being ran by community members from the Games for blind gamers discord!
https://discord.gg/yWn6wCtY

Since I make blind accessible games, synthetic voices and synth sound effects are super important as an indie dev. So I'm excited to join this jam! Hope more folks join as well!
