SightlessKombat: Audio Innovations in Game Accessibility YouTube video by Sound Without Sight

Last year, I had the great opportunity to be a part of an episode of Sound Without Sight, talking about auditory innovations in game #accessibility over the past few years.
If you want to see the presentation, it's now up on YouTube!

#Accessibility #A11Y

Live now, with Gecko, for more Black Mesa! Didn't think we'd be in an office on a weekend, but here wea are.
Join us on Twitch and YouTube to see how this level goes!
#Accessibility #A11Y

Legislation aside, I'd love to play more multi-player titles alongside friends regardless of our levels of vision. I'd be more than happy to discuss how to make that happen for current and future projects if people are interested, just reach out and let me know!

For anyone curious, I found @marathonthegame.bungie.net 's server slam build does not have menu narration and also uses free-cursor menus, thus making it inaccessible to gamers without sight.
Full DPad navigation and menu narration would improve things, as well as help with CVAA compliance. #A11Y

Live now with my latest #RNIB stream, joined by Jenna for some #Fallout 4 Access!
Join us on my Twitch or YouTube for a demo of this work in progress mod!
#Accessibility #A11Y

Live now, with even more #MetalGearSolid V with DB!
Can we figure out how to complete the mission we started last week?

#Accessibility #A11Y

I'd personally love to know what #accessibility will be in this title, including of course elements/features that might be useful to gamers without sight like me.
I pre-ordered Spider-Man 2 because of accessibility hopes, I may do the same this time if there's even greater accessibility. #A11Y

This week's schedule, UK date format, times GMT:
24/02, 19-22:00: MGS 5 continued W/DB
26/02, 19-22:00: #Fallout4 #accessibility mod demo W/Jenna!
28/02, 19-22:00: #SightlessStories More Black Mesa W/Gecko
#A11Y

Can't believe I'm saying this: Thanks to yet another mod, I'm in the early stages of a Fallout 4 playthrough!
The mod is still in development, but I'm glad to be able to engage with this universe and hope future entries have native #accessibility for gamers without sight. #a11y

Live now, with some more Black Mesa with Gecko!
Will we have the same gremlins as last time?

#A11Y #Accessibility

Always good to see and be able to be a part of more #accessiblity discussions!
Looking forward to continuing to expand my knowledge with this event. Will you be joining?

I would love the 30th anniversary year for this franchise to be the year where gamers without sight are fully included, being able to play the latest game start to finish without help or assistance, should I or anyone else so choose.

Many gamers without sight are still hoping for dungeon navigation cues to come to Diablo IV.
It's great sighted players want this to happen as well though. To quote a regular wanting to run the expansion with me:
"I’m not spending $40+ for it until dungeon nav assist works"

(1/)
Whilst I'm glad to see all the cool new #Diablo content, I am saddened by the thought that we've had no #accessibility news on Diablo IV or any potential updates to allow more players to enjoy D2R (in spite of the latter apparently being listed as "playable without vision" through Steam).

Live now, joined by DB for more stealthy action in MGS 5!

Just as reminder, there's no stream today as it was replaced by yesterday's efforts to play Black Mesa, which we did manage albeit with some unexpected gremlins.

Live now, joined by Gecko for a long awaited playthrough of Black mesa!
Let's see how I get on as a complete Half-Life newbie!

#Accessibility #A11Y

Excited to say that tonight, I'll be starting a playthrough of Black mesa with Gecko at 7 PM GMT!
Never played a half-life game before so this will be interesting on multiple levels.
#Accessibility #A11Y

Thanks to a review code, I'm looking into the #accessibility of #GodOfWar Sons Of Sparta!
Haven't seen menu narration, but great to see an audio glossary and various other elements of Ragnarok's setup carry over, with new audio cues!
#A11Y

Entry window is now open for the Develop:Star awards, includes categories for in-game accessibility, EDI initiative, and supporting star.

Full calendar of all award shows that have an accessibility category - docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I will not be attending RNIB's Tech Fair in Northern Ireland (which I had planned to present at in person.
Always happy to chat #accessibility as a gamer without sight if anyone's interested though of course!

As a reminder, there's no stream today.
However, if all goes well, next week will see me playing an iconic game that I've heard so much about over the years with assistance from a channel regular...
What do you reckon I'll be starting?

Live now, joined by Jenna for Episode 5 of #BaldursGate3!
