7-128 Software just released a new Web site, www.blindcomputergames.com
It's an information resource that includes:
·A set of guidelines for developers who want to improve blind
accessibility in their games
·An article for gamers who are blind to help them show developers
how to make their games accessible to them
·Articles that give developers technical information, including code
samples, to help them make their games accessible.
For gamers, it gives the technical words they need to communicate
with developers at companies, big and small. It explains who to
talk to, what information the developer will need, and when in the
development cycle to communicate with a developer and to have the
best chance of obtaining the changes that will increase accessibility.
For developers, it explains screen readers and self-voicing, and
includes a blind accessibility checklist, some good example games,
technical how to's, and a short guide to blind etiquette.
It's totally free and requires no registration.
The project took three months and was done at the request of and
with the help of Dark, the administrator for www.audiogames.net
http://www.audiogames.net/ and the leading advocate for blind gamers.
He is frequently asked by developers, What would it take? Now he
has a place to send them, and a place to send his readers who have
a game or other software program that they can almost use.
Although it is focused on games, much of the information is
applicable to any software, not just games.
Check it out!
