Hi linsey.
Yeah there are not many games anymore.
There are the japanese games in general which are good and some of the
chinese ones like mist.
then there is ksre which is quite old on audiogames forum I forget the link.
Its just been redone and its a good story.
However the renpy main games page hasn't had a good load of upgrades in
ages.
Outside that, bar audiogame.store there isn't much.
And even their latest game I have reached partly through.
Its interest seems to have died down quickly so who knows.
Technically there are supposed to be a few more but not much.
Sadly I suspect that the audiogames industry isn't as rosy as it was
ages back.
In 1995 through 2010 there was great optomism for the industry as a whole.
But with some mainstreaming, the fact gaming doesn't make cash, and
everything else there are less devs.
A few games use sapi internal os voices and tts engines, a few are self
voicing and a few still exist like sbyw just ticking along but nothing
new really.
If you mean exactly for jaws that may be your problem.
Yes some games have support for jaws but not many.
With nvda about and internal support on the os pluss some self voicing
themselves, there is probably not going to be actual games for jaws if
not ever at least not right now.
Jaws has its uses but like dolphin reader, freedomscientiffic is 1 of
the last so called access business companies to still be in the market
though not really for general use anymore.
Put it another way no standard newly blind is going to buy jaws, or any
of the other comercials if he doesn't need to.
I do test for dolphin so obviously I do need to run the reader to check
things out from time to time, but even I have thought about my
association for a little.
The only reason I don't drop it as such as its another alternitive if I
ever find something that needs the extra power.
But really nvda will do almost everything any user needs.
Listen to music, write email, surf the net with a brouser, even game.
It will even do some limited to semi advanced ocr if given the right
program, maybe not that well but well enough.
The only things against it are.
1. because there are no intercepts it doesn't have as many cursers and
virtual modes for advanced work.
Of course most of us using standard software doesn't need those modes so
its largely mute.
2. being it uses mainstream languages and plugins it needs constant
security and other updates.
Thats fine and all but some users don't like it.
Though if you don't want to you don't need to load any modules bar maybe
the windows 10 and the updater if you want to keep things updated.
They do help at least for programs you use and there are a few extras
you can use to.
And if you don't need anything much more over really basic there is narator.
Its not the most advanced system obviously and its only updated once or
tiwice a year with the major os updates, but its rumored to be
scriptable, and will handle chromium in some way, not tested really and
will do simple tasks.
Its not really a screen reader but if you only need to muck about with
microsoft everything its probably not a problem though nvda gives you a
little choice.

Hi all
I feel like I am missing something here guys. Are there not any good
games for PC and windows in particular any more? I can't seem to find
anything, and when I do, it is in another language and doesn't work
with Jaws. Am I missing something here?
