Lacus Opportunitas was amazing! shiftBackTick always does an amazing job showing how super unique and fun games can be made universally accessible. Ladybudroll though is my favorite for "so many more games can be made more accessible".

Hello! Are there any #accessibility or #Gaming content creators that I could hire for a small accessibility related project?

The Games for Blind Gamers Game Jam has ended! A number of our blind community members this year volunteered to be our judges and choose the best "Game for Blind Gamers"

This is a new thing we tried this year so would love feedback!

I find it weird it doesn't hide games that have a 0% score. It's a great start though!

Hi everyone! The Games for Blind Gamers Game jam can use a little help!
Itch has this annoying thing where after a rating period any games with like 2 below median number of rating gets semi-hidden.
It'd help a ton if you could rate a few games! #GameDev #Blind #Accessibility

The rating period for the accessibility jam is still ongoing, but I am always so blown away by the dev shiftBackTick. If you play one game from the jam, I hope it's his.
He is always proving that making a game accessible is not a limitation.
