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!
