Small point, if you want to know about deaf gamers you really need to ask deaf gamers. Most of us here are blind or otherwise visually impaired, thus "audio games" - games which use audio to replace graphics. I don't think many people if any here are qualified to speak on behalf of people with substantial hearing difficulties.

Hi,
sorry, I still do mix both.
I am interested in both: deaf gamers, low vision gamers and blind gamers.

Not a problem, I just felt we can't do justice to the issues of those with hearing issues.

If you wish to hear how music games can be improved for people with low or no vision than we can answer that instead for you wink

It is really very hard to adapt the "GameOver!" rules to a specific game.
(GameOver! Game is a very inaccessible game, they have 21 rules)

But I learned something very important:
Never try to imagine something you do not have any experience with.
I was very surprised to read that blind gamer can play also 3D games.

So before I think, this will be impossible, I ask you.

I hope that I can adapt the rules to a game like "Dance Dance Revolution".
For this, I asked some communities for their opinions.

I know that I need a really good documentation to explain, that some maybe stupid and funny things are important. For example: one button for all four arrows, when you press it, it respond to all arrows!

But I have confident that when I work hard, it will be possible.
Maybe also to get this things in a real game.

I like this motto: "Because everyone wants to save the Universe"

Indeed nothing is impossible, I firmly believe most if not all genres of visual games can be converted even if not outright adapted for the visually impaired.
