Hey blind folks on Lemmy!
I’m an ex-mobile game dev, and noticed while searching today there’s about 45 million fully blind people in the world, but I couldn’t find much about games targeting blind folks.
It seems like there’s mods on existing games to assist blind people, but in my quick search there’s no dedicated groups to making games for blind people as their top priority.
I have a few questions:
First, do you think lots of blind people would be interested in playing games? Think for like an hour or two a day.
Second, what sort of games would be good for blind people? Are there any games you think would be fun if someone made it for you?
Third, how would blind people like to play games? Would they prefer a phone with like one big button (i.e jump) with haptic feedback and sound, or would they prefer something like on a laptop and a screen reader?
Forth, right now I’m thinking about making a competitive math game; you have one minute to answer as many questions as possible. I was planning on using audio/screen reader to output the question, but similar to the third question, I’m curious on what’s the easiest way to input the answer.
This seems like a great resource, thanks!
