Accessibility Jam Report

So, my Accessibility Jam game is more or less finished. The jam is not really a competition, but I actually have a few friends who’re blind (and they’re all Linux experts, a pretty geeky blind bunch IMO) so I really wanted to finish it. My game is completely audio based, so that any blind person can play it with a screen reader + standard browser. (There’s a visual so deaf people can play it too, although it’s impossible for deafblind people.)

Game “Arpeggio”:

The overall experience was quite fun. Since this was a long jam, I made a couple of generic library/functions for audio and keyboard based games. Also the feedback was generally positive. I still have a couple of ideas of audio-only games. I think I will continue this line of project.
