Re: [Audyssey] help finding games for deaf/mtion impaired
Hi Sharon, I've been wanting to make the blind adrenaline card games accessible to Braille readers, but the couple of folks that volunteered to help me with this that had Braille displays flaked out on me. If I could get someone to test it out, I think we could incorporate Braille readers fairly easy, and I know the deaf blind community would certainly appreciate it. If you know anyone out there interested, send them my email address if you like.

I have a suggestion for hard-of-hearing folks like me who have a hard time with surround sound. Maybe there could be a conversion alternative for an action-packed game that could use time reaction challenges instead of knowing directly where the sound is coming from. For example, if a monster is chasing you, you would normally dodge it knowing which way it's headed. But in my conversion, it would be just a matter of timing, like I have to decide quickly what action to take before time runs out and I get killed.

Re: [Audyssey] help finding games for deaf/mtion impaired
We should invent a vibrating platform, kind of lie the old optacon. I've noticed on Independent Living Aids' site, a game system that can give you bumps or some kind of tactile experience, but it seems that it's an aid for hearing sound. It was very expensive. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] help finding games for deaf/mtion impaired
Hello. Well I should know from first hand what playing as a Deaf-blind gamer is like. For one, the game would have to be able to use the braille display, second it can't be too complex. Mainly due that most deaf blind folks depending on if they ever seen or hear will not hve the clue on the concept of most games. For me, I've seen, and heard in my lifetime which has been short. *grin* I'm only thirty two. Anyhow. I've play games since the commador days up to the 360 xbox. i've even did some basic programming for a time as well. But, ever since I went deaf and lost all my vision, I've had to rely on braille to play games. Only games I've been able to play is Srwith, Kingdom of Loaf and all in play. Not tried Chee card games yet. Far as action goes that would be a hard game to even get a person who never seen or hear in their life to understand. Luckly I have hearing once in a while and found out I wil be able to get those copular implants I might be able to play more sound type games. though I enjoy playing Dominos, paper card games, and several other type hands on games as long as you got good communication with the person your playing it can be fun. But that is just me.. I understand what alot of game terminologys are. So a RPG that is all text that uses the braille display would be your best bet if you are to make a game for anyone to play. I know the VIP that GMA games came out with is not any good for me to play. Mainly cause of the fact you have to type every little thing to do something and no blind deaf person I know of is going to sit there for hours doing that.

Re: [Audyssey] help finding games for deaf/mtion impaired
Sounds a cool idea. There are a couple of deafblind mailing lists, but not specifically related to games.

Re: [Audyssey] help finding games for deaf/mtion impaired
Hi Chastity. Unfortuantely, the best place for this would've been the game accessibility site, --- but it's no longer working sadly. oneswitch.co.uk I know is basically the audiogames.net for motion impared gamers, but for deaf gamers I have no idea I'm afraid. Other places to try might be the links on the 7-128 site, sinse they have considderable information, and indeed links on audiogames.net in the links section. hth. Beware the grue! Dark. - Original Message - From: "Chastity MORSE" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 10:28 PM Subject: [Audyssey] help finding games for deaf/mtion impaired Okay, I know this is a gaming list and it focuses on the blind and if this is out of place, please let me know. Does anyone know of any games that are accessible for the deaf like with lots of graphics, colors, and captions? Is there any top 10/20 lists around or archives of such gaming sites? Also does anyone know if there are any games accessible by people with motion impairments like ones where single-switch, head-mouse, eye movements and such can be found? I think, as far as I know most text-based games like RPG and games from the if-archive are accessible by the deaf since those are all text based, but many motion impaired people need to use single-switch mouse or some sort of other device so typing isn't that easy.
