Welcome to the forum harsha.hd  and Aarush.

We do like new games, and new audio gamers on the forum from anywhere in the world, but no, we do not like spam big_smile.

Hope you  both have as much fun here as I do.

Hello,

I'm DrJedd, a musician and game developer who recently got involved with VI game development through the Music Game Jam and Weekly Game Jam.

We tried to make a game that:
- Provides non-VI people the feeling of being blind (visual feedback is faint, almost non-existant and the player's pointer emits little light leaving most of the screen pitch black)
- Provides VI people with an interesting gameplay that is similar to the visual version

It was our first attempt and we ran into poorly timed production problems (project files got corrupted as I was adding more levels for blind mode, missing a few critical audio cues too) but we're going to fix those problems and release a better version of this game soon.

We're also going to give audiogames another try by attending AudioGameJam #2, this time with 100% focus on making our game enjoyable for VI gamers.

We would like to gather actual playtest data and feedback from VI gamers so this forum is a great place to begin!

Thanks, hope to meet some of you soon! smile

Hi jedd and welcome to the forum.

this is certainly the place to get blind and V.i gamers to test the project, and as always a new game sounds fascinating.
I've now unrestricted your account, so Please post a topic about this in our new releases room and you'll likely get lots of interest, also we can see about some news on the front of site and so on.

Hope you have fun on the forum and find what your looking for.

Dark.

Hi there,

My name's Al and I'm a full-time university lecturer and part-time Ph.D student at Federation University Australia (about an hour and change north-west of Melbourne).

My current research topic is work on novel/assistive input/output technologies, and as part of that I've just spent the last 20 months writing a piece of software that adds customisable sonification cues to video games (based on changes in the games' internal state) designed to assist blind or visually impaired players. The software is largely geared towards adding sonification to fighting games at the moment, but I'm confident that it can be adapted to a wide variety of genres.

As such, I thought this might be a great place to announce the release of my software (it's not quite finished yet - but it will be very soon, think this month). When released, the software including full source code will be freely available on GitHub under the MIT license.

Thanks & look forward to chatting with you in the future!

-Al

Hi and welcome.

The project  definitely sounds fascinating and we have fans of fighting games here.
I've freed up your account so feel tree to tell us about your research in general game discussion, then post something in new releases when you have some software people can test out and play with.

Thanks, Dark.

After a long time in development I'm really looking forward to having the project ready for release, and will write up something to gauge interest and post it in general game discussion.

As this is a research project and not just a stand-alone piece of software, when it's released I'd like to invite users to participate in a usability study to try to get a handle on whether the software's effective or not (i.e. is it any good?). The trial itself will be human ethics certified (by FedUni), aimed only at adults aged 18 years or older, and come with a plain language information statement explaining all conditions of participation, so I'd hope that it would fall within acceptable use of the forums for me to ask if anyone would like to participate at a later date.

Cheers!

Hi, I'm Benjamin, a developer at a company called Virtuosi Media. I've developed a online game called Junction Gate, which some of the users here have discovered, so I'm looking to gather some feedback to make it more accessible.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
That sounds fantastic, I read over the instructions for   junction   gate myself and  it sounded amazing, though I've not tried the game yet owing to being rather busy moving house at the moment.

We have  been looking for an accessible single player  complex space exploration game for a long while, since the majority of accessible browser ones have been very  heavy on the pvp.

So it's great your looking  making the game accessible.
The junction gate topic can be found  the new releases room, and I'll be glad to try the game myself as well.

Hi.
This is Jeremy Hartley, and I am most certainly not a spambot. Grin

I have been a totally blind gamer since going back to the days of the Atari 2600. My only claim to fame for audio games is that I was the voice of the mysterious wizard in the introduction of Entombed.

I have recently purchased an Xbox, and have been learning my way around games like EA Sports UFC 2, which I was considering putting together a rough guide to help other blind gamers.

Hmmm, sounds like something a spambot would say! Lol.

Glad you've made it to the forum, and hope you have a lot of fun round here, btw, yes, this is the same Dark from the  entombed list etc.

Hi.

Apologies to both of you, I was rather busy today so didn't get to check the forum this morning, still your accounts are unrestricted now.

@tysonsylvester123, good to hear about the cyber assault fix, I've had my own confusions with the mud myself so good it's got some upgrades. There is a cyber  assault topic in new releases, perhaps you  could post changes and updates there?
@dmesg, welcome to the forum, we know code 7 well and have played the beta, hope you have fun discussing the game and trying out many other titles.

Greetings my childs,

I was lead here for a reason wink
Maybe some of you may be able to guess it - I am totally excited by the game a Heros call. Maybe I jumped onto the Hype Train a bit late... But nevertheless I want to participate in the General discussion about it and want to Motivate the devs with my verbal Support...
And I also read some very interessting opinions about the future of Audio games and want to discuss about that as well. So I finally decided to join the Forum actively, not longer as a silence gast.

I am no bot at all, so please activate my account, will you? smile

English is not my native language by the way, so please apologize some clumsy wording or bad spelling...
