They're looking for input from all gamers, including blind

I've gone and filled it out. This is awesome, and it givs me a lot of hope that I'll soon be able to enjoy all the games mainstream people keep raving about.

I used to be a knee like you, then I took an adventurer in the arrow.

I've filled it out too! I also said it's really hard to seemingly get stuff started when it comes to asking devs about the text to speech api, especially ones who are contracted by others. I feel some devs are on a ridiculous leash sometimes, but there's still hope.

@1
This isn't actually correct.  They talk about colourblindness/contrast and don't have a section that works with those who can't see at all.  I had to interweave my knowledge throughout other fields just to get my points acruss.  I clarified as much on the ending of the questionnaire, that accessibility to those with no sight should be tackled just as much as requirements for other disabilities.

Hi.
I've just filled out the questionnaire, and I'm very excited for this. I hope as many people as possible will fill this out with blind gamers in mind. This is very important for accessible games in the future...

Best regards SLJ.

@Sightless: there's a section that specifically mentions text to speech now, but it's a bit buried, so I ended up interweeving knowledge too then discovered the text to speech question (and it's a question), and also the audio feedback is intermingled with the vision section as well it's really weird but at least they're making an effort and have, it seems, done some research about this.

Yep there's a bit on text to speech but only for in-game communication, so worth leaving a note explaining any value it might have outside of communication

Guys, there are multiple sections in the  questionnaire where you can add more comments. So please leave as much feedback as possible. smile
