[Audyssey] Unity Game Engine - Accessible
Hi guys. As you know Unity is an incredible multiplatform Game Engine. If it could be accessible, both blind designers and developers could use his most advance features, for 3D sound and audiogame development. Unity has a web section called feedback, where anyone can post ideas about future features of the software. In this link I've posted the need to make Unity accessible to visually impaired: http://feedback.unity3d.com/suggestions/screen-reader-accessibility If you think that the big lack of an accessible advance game engine can be solve in this way, I ask you to register in the Unity Community, and to leave a Vote to my feedback.

Re: [Audyssey] audio games leaflet
Hi Charles, That's a good question. I'm not sure;. I believe the primary means of setting up a distribution list for the magazines was through the mailing list and by personal request to Michael Feir via e-mail.

There are those that don't use a computer. The easiest and lest expensive is audio mp3 or cd. I don't think tape decks exist now but that was also an easy way to handle it. I am not sure if anyone really reads braille these days. I remember I used to get material stapled together news letters etc. However even the old braille books for me are getting the chop over electronic. They are just to heavy and to take a single book to travel is like up to 6 bags, who can be bothered with that. Yes you still can get normal braille but there is a cost in doing that. Pluss just before I finally quit the braille scene all braille paper was changed there are 3 types. 1. the a4 type in most printers. 2. the a3 used in older braille units and the last is the 3 page junket thats used in embossers but who knows what it is now. When I started testing the unified code there was talk of making everything use a4 in fact there was talk of just using standard computer paper for braille. At 05:52 a.m. 20/06/2015, you wrote: I would like to see such advertisements made available to blind people in formats other than electronic for a change.

What made the computer gain popularity with businesses was a killer application--the Spreadsheet. Once their value was realized, we've never looked back. Gaming could be the killer application for the blind, and you've got to find out about the gaming field from somewhere. Maybe through a friend or something, but nothing beats reading about it unaided in any way, browsing a catalog or advertisement pamphlet at your own pace and leisure. Braille is the way to go.

To begin with a lot of these resellers now offer their catalogs electronically. Either as a download on their website, sometimes e-mailed directly to the customer, or shipped to them on CD. As a result if Auddyssey or Audiogames.net wanted to put an informational advertisement in one of their catalogs they could probably do so without incurring any cost to either the reseller or to themselves since the catalog is already electronic for the most part. Therefore all this talk of embossing pamphlets and so forth could be rendered mute as there might be a less expensive way to get the word out to customers without involving huge startup costs or involving organizations. So that should answer two of your questions. A reseller can or should be able to send out a free pamplet because it is electronic and would be of no cost to them. Merely a few bites of info inside their monthly catalog. Thus there also would be no need to sell it since there is no cost involved for anyone to get the word out. Cheers!

This just occurred to me: Before Audyssey magazine went totally online, it was distributed on a 3.5-inch floppy. Does anyone remember how a distribution list was obtained?

One of the things we need to do once we have a draft in hand is then organize how we're going to accomplish the goal. There's parts of this, that like you, I'm not sure exactly how to pursue, but, given the knowledge base we have on list, I think we either have the knowledge somewhere, or have enough people, that if we spread it thin enough we can learn what we need to. A lot of my job with VGA has been learning how to do things that needed to be done that Aaron didn't have time to do because he (cough) does the real work. As to the expenses, agreed, we should try to spread this so that no one individual or company is in for a lot. We want to make this as economical and as high return for the investment as possible. If it seems to succeed in a first run, we can always expand beyond that point. Also too, we'd want to get more supporters as well. A direct email to developers is probably a good place to start. Even if many are connected, they might not read all threads.

Re: [Audyssey] Audiogames leaflet planning
FYI: My embosser brailles on both sides of the paper and I've probably got almost 2,000 sheets available. I've got Duxbury translation software. --- Be positive! When it comes to being defeated, if you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished! - Original Message - From: john jpcarnemo...@gmail.com To: gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Friday, June 19, 2015 8:09 PM Subject: [Audyssey] Audiogames leaflet planning Changing subject line as requested. Jeremy: I'll do my best to fill in my resources/abilities in accordance with the order you mentioned things in your message (or at least roughly according to it, anyway). Writing: I'd be happy to proofread/edit things if needed, though I'm no PHD. I would also note that, especially if we're intending to distribute this in multiple countries, that we should have somebody from the target country read through and make suggestions/corrections to match the local style of writing and spelling. Content: I've really got no clue on this one, mostly due to lack of serious dedicated thought on the subject. Perhaps we should focus first on determining exactly what our goal would be: a definition of audiogames, a description of different types (expecting that the reader already knows what games are), a list of the different games available, etc. Finances: Personally, while I'd rather not spend hundreds of dollars on this, I've got no problem with dropping something in the mid double digits on postage or whatever else is needed. Creation supplies: my embosser prints on only one side of the paper, but (at least when it was last used) seemed to be in pretty good working order. I expect it'd probably be happy to spew out a couple thousand pages if we want it to. I've currently got somewhere close to 2000 pages of paper available, and doubt getting more would be much of a hassle (though it might take a while). We may also want to consider having a large print version available. I believe there may be a monochrome laser printer somewhere around here, and (if its still sold, anyway) I could probably find toner for it. I've no clue what font is usually used for large print, but that printer can spit out 20 pages per minute, and I've got well over 500 pages of 8.5-11 within easy reach. splitting up the work: I feel that it might be beneficial if we were to offer our leaflet to multiple organizations. Thus, it might be a good idea to have each person with brailing resources handle the work for a single organization. We may also want to reword the writing a bit, depending on the organization, its goals and beliefs, etc. Developers: Most of the devs seem to be on this list already, but a direct email to them probably wouldn't go amiss, if we wanted to ask for quotes or something like that. The only group that I've never seen on here is BPC. I'm not quite sure what their status is - maybe somebody else knows? International work: I'm passing the buck... absolutely no clue how best to handle this one. ---original thread--- Dark, If others are game, I'm totally game for trying this. I can't promise that our company can contribute a huge amount to the cost, but we'll do what we can if others are interested. I also can help with the writing/editing of any material: got to put this almost PH.D. in English to use somehow. One issue would be to figure out the best large general categories of play style for audio games to discuss, how to present the information in an ordered fashion, and how to economize the language to reach your goal of 1000 words or so. I think that's a good maximum length and it makes things as stripped down as possible. The next step, as I see it, is first see who of the currently connected developers would be interested in such a project. Find out if others, not connected, would be interested. Work out a central point for collecting funds (if a list member were embossing, I think the majority of the funds would be going for paper and shipping). Find out who would do the embossing since we've had several lines on that. Find out which organizations we would want to talk to, and figure out the best line of attack on each. I'm sure there are organizational, logistical, and administrative details that would have to be worked out all along this chain. I think Thomas' suggestion of talking to resellers is a good idea as well. Further, I know some of us are more familiar with one nation's organizations more so than others. We'd need to decide where and who we would be starting with. While it's easy to think in terms of home country, I've noticed from our own sales and from watching demographics on Alter Aeon and in other venues, that the composition of the audio game community is rapidly expanding, so we might run into the issue of possible translation necessities in future. It's way too early to go there, but it's something worth
Re: [Audyssey] braille/large print/other media for audio games (was info games game engines)
I just responded to a post you sent that said that you don't think that anyone uses braille anymore. In light of that post, this one makes no sense, because you seem to show interest in braille.

I have one that cost around that much with full network functions and with updates to its firmware wireless eprint which tablet users find really good. I also enjoyed the discussion on the canute. Heck if this works I will get one. One thing I have been interested in is a braille display of some tipe and a good braille keyboard to use the computer with so I can keep my braille going. Ever since I started using a computer in 1995 I gradually stopped typing with the old clunky and heavy braille units. aparently from a friend in the industry they are starting with the electronic units with simple functions and graduating to full computers. However I find it faster on a querty I just wish I could read braille on the screen without spending a lot of cash to get one.

Buy an embosser? that is way more overkill than I am thinking here. In the Uk at least there are braille transcription services that will spend their time on printing, it's one way that say a local theatre can get braille programs, sinse you are correct that braille embossers are stupidly expensive. I don't have a clear idea on costs, sinse it's not something I've looked into but I don't believe it's that much, particularly as regards reproducing the thing once you've got one printed and then are making copies. As to people who don't have much to do with the blind community, well to be honest I fall into that category marginly myself simply because I don't find blindness events or organizations that helpful or that I have much in common with a lot of other blind people, though i still do look at the news letters just in case anything vaguely interesting comes up, and would probably pick up a leaflet on something like games. of course there will be some people who literally don't have anything at all with any blindness organization, but you can't cover everyone! my suggestion of an intro leaflet was just to let more people know who normally might not.
