Hello  Donald_Silver.

Great that you want to join this forum. Just to check, you were aware this forum is for the discussion of audiogames, ie games based on sound accessible to blind and visually impared people?

Hi Golden eagle, a house with a roof? How strange big_smile.

We also love muds and audiogames around here, so hopefully you'll have fun hanging out on the forum.

Hello everyone!
I am Ethan and I am an amateur developer.
I have mainly been using Unity3D game engine to learn and have been taking a few classes.
To be honest I am not a big time coder and I did not major in computer science to know a lot about coding either.
But recently I have taken a liking to game development and I am here hoping that you guys can solve any doubts that I encounter.
Glad to be a part of this forum!
Cheers people!
Have a great day.

If there were no humor, life would be tragic.

Introducing myself and hoping to be able to post. Most of my reading effort on here have been on the swamp forum. I'm player Hunk in-game.

I've been following the swamp thread for years, just never really tried to post- personally, I dread forums of any kind cause I'm not very good at navigating them lol!
But now I figure it's time to stop "stalking" and start contributing when/where I can.

@ethanscott hello and welcome. I'm not sure about unity for audiogames, though I believe some recent updates have made it better in this respect, still hope you have fun on the forum.

@privatetai, the swamp topic is giant! still always nice to have another audiogamer, I need to get back to swamp myself as I've not played in some time.
Hope you have a good time.

I don't really want to introduce myself! tongue I don't have anything I prefer to say of myself and don't like to be forced to post in a specific place to prove I'm human. I created the account for a specific reason and I'll post that in another place when appropriate.  For the skeleton of intro I'm willing to offer, though...
Some of you will know me from one mud or another since I've spent scads of time on CR and SC and Prometheus and Miriani -- well I quit playing SC and Miriani years ago. If any of you play harshlands you might have seen me there, or laketown/SOI, or the two towers mud. My taste in muds goes from one to another in cycles unless and until I get fed up with a staff and justw alk away. Was on ZoneBBS a long time ago, too.  I also play sryth. and way back in the day I used to play AllInPlay, too. No I'm not telling you my characters on the muds. In some cases I've played the same one for years and in others I have several alts. In all cases I'm largely a loner, though that's not to say I'm opposed to doing something with people IC. I just prefer not to mix IC and OOC because I've learned that for both better and worse, most can't separate the two and try to carry over relationships that shouldn't exist, be they a romance or an enmity.

Hello drumforever and welcome.

Actually, what you've said is more than enough for purposes, ie it proves your actually a human being and interested in this forum, so your account is now unrestricted big_smile.

Sorry that you don't like making introductions, but its unfortunately a necessary evil given spambot problems since we don't' want a capcha or similar.

Hi.

I am a software engineer based in Nantes, in France.

On my free time I recently started working on translating an existing Twine 1 game in French. At the same time, I'm trying to improve the "web accessibility" of the game engine, so that this web interactive story could be played only based on the audio (and hence by visually impaired people).

I want to join this forum in order to ask for feedback and advice on how playable  the game is with a screen reader.

Hello Lucas and welcome to the forum.

Great you'd like to make your game accessible, we certainly enjoy  gamebooks, interactive fiction etc around here as well as games with full audio. Twine can be somewhat variable in terms of access, but if you post about your game in new releases and give a link, myself and others will be glad to provide some  feedback.

Looking forward to  giving it a try, any questions either see the site and forum faq in general game discussion, or just ask.

Hello all. My name is Clarissa, and I started playing audio games a few years ago, when I was introduced to Entombed. That was the first game I played, and I have since downloaded loads of accessible games. Right now I am being challenged by BK3. Although my true passion is music, I am fascinated with anything to do with sound in general, so audio games have become a favorite pastime.

Hello Musicjunky and welcome to the forum.
There's certainly lots of interesting stuff sound and music wise in audiogames, and I'm glad your enjoying bk3 etc, I also always have a soft spot for entombed myself since I was on the early alpha testing team for it.

I would also highly recommend rhythm rage if your into music too, any questions about games or the forum feel free to ask.

@Bigbeast greetings and welcome.
Thankfully we have a good few online games now, from crazy party, to social hubs like Quentin C, RS games and Huboodle on Ios, and of course lots of multiplayer doomy fun in Swamp and redspot, so hopefully you should find something fun.
I personally enjoy a good few muds myself when I'm looking for a multiplayer experience, though I admit I'm an rpg fan.

As again, any questions feel free to ask.

Hello everyone that reads this. My name is Alun Knight and I'm from the UK. Currently doing a masters in computer game design and working on my dissertation. I've been interested in UX design for a while now and I've ended up finding myself drawn to "accessible" game design recently. Hoping that my dissertation proposal for accessible turn-based tactics game gets approved soon. If it doesn't I'm probably going to try and see if my university will let me work on some plugins for Unreal Engine 4 that will help other developers implement better subtitles and screensaver comparability more easily. I've been lurking around this forum for a while now and I thought I would finally take the plunge and make an account.

Hi Alunnite and welcome.
Sorry this approval has  come so late but you'd certainly be very welcome to join this forum, we'll be glad to share whatever your up to game wise for your dissertation, or indeed get your thoughts on other matters concerned with accessible games.

@vittadavid8, could you please say a little more? EG are you interested in the subject of this forum, that is audio based and other accessible computer games? Sorry to be draconnian but we have had spambot issues, hence the need to ask for at least enough of an intro to make sure your actually a human being.
