Re: [blind-gamers] Brain Station is Coming in 2018

Re: [blind-gamers] No more Blindfold Games or Updates

I can't say I'm able to follow Dark's train of thought on how this is related to sighted vs blind players or the way things look. Seems to me that this is an effort on Apple's part to keep search results from being overwhelming, and also to cut down on the amount of copycat/lookalike apps in the

Re: [blind-gamers] Should video games have accessibility features?

I reckon that if you swap the word "all" for the word "more", then most of this starts to make sense. To me, it seems like some encouragement (perhaps on a legislative level) for mainstream game companies could be a good thing, but as has been pointed out many times already, absolutes are an

Hey chaps, This is exciting! I've just had a gander at the initial posts in the thread and will definitely be following along with the course. It's particularly interesting to me that Brian is tackling this stuff using OSARA, because I was involved with development of that and - to my knowledge -

Typically racing games aren't my thing, but I'll be giving this one a shot when I get some downtime at the weekend and leaving a review of course. Most likely gonna go for the Itch version here. Really excited that you've found another indie dev who's receptive to accessibility! Scott On

Re: [blind-gamers] New MLB the show will it have better accessibility?

I'd argue that the the question is far from pointless if someone intends to advocate for accessibility improvements (to take just one of many potential scenarios). The response on the other hand... what did that add? Scott On 3/1/20, Charles Rivard wrote: > Is it available now? If so, there

To be fair to Philip, I suspect he had no choice. The gentleman that owns Q9 nowadays has no qualms about whether his choices are popular. I should know - I've had to spend many, many hours mopping up the mess he makes by selling misinformation in a different field. Anyway, yeah, it's a good

Dear Mr Gorilla (it feels wrong to call you clueless) :P Great idea, and I thoroughly enjoyed your first run. I'd subscribe to this as a podcast for sure, but can also see some merit in doing these as YouTube videos. I mean, imagine if this level of narration became a trend among folks who enjoy

Well assuming your point was support for "usual screen readers", then yeah, it kinda is. NVDA has wider adoption than JAWS nowadays (see recent webAIM surveys). I think it's also worth keeping in mind at times like these that the JAWS ULA precludes a demo version of JAWS being used to develop or
