Audiogames, Audiogame Jam and making games for the blind
James Kyle
31 Jul 2016, 13:31Hi there, I'm running a game jam event - Audiogame Jam - to raise money for the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB). As interactive fiction is very accessible to blind computer users I thought I'd come here to promote it.
I'm also very curious of whether any devs. here have experience of making their game blind accessible through screen-reader support or OS-level speech functionality, or what proportion of your games' user base has sight loss.

Also, you might be interested to know that the IF Tech Foundation has "measuring and improving IF accessibility" as one of its planned projects:
