Developer questions for you all
Hi everyone, I'm new here, and not visually impaired. I enjoy making text games and have recently been introduced to your community and have been enjoying updating my games to be more accessible. I have a few questions for you all to help guide my development efforts and hopefully make my existing and future games more enjoyable and accessible. First off, if you aren't familiar with my work already, there is a thread going on in the new releases board for my game Infini-Crawl. Heres a link
So a few questions, if you don't mind:
First off, do you mostly play games that have audio built in, or games that require a screen reader? In other words, is it preferable to you to be able to turn off the screen reader and have the game speak to you? or is it all the same to you because you usually have your screen reader on anyway?
When you're playing browser games, what browser do you typically use?
Which OS are you usually using for games (windows, mac, iphone, android, etc)?
Do you prefer browser based games, or games you have to download and install?
Are you using NVDA, or do you use Jaws or something else? If you use something other than NVDA, what features do you use with your screen reader that justify the expense? Do these features help with gaming?
If you could have one type of game converted over to a completely accessible game, what would it be? In other words, what type of games do you feel the VI community needs to have that they don't right now?
Lastly, and don't feel like you need to answer this one if you're not comfortable, but, what is your level of visual impairment? Do certain features in screen readers and/or games not matter to you because you have partial vision?
