Hello!

This is a yearly game jam where the goal is to make blind accessible games. It is a to of fun and also I feel very educational as some wonderful blindgamers mostly from https://audiogames.net/ give feedback both during development in our discord, and then rate the games!

So consider joining, or spreading the word! Accessibility in gaming is something I care about a lot about personally, so I hope you consider joining!

If you're curious about the history of the jam, or what methods are used to make games blind accessible, check out the wiki for the community!

Thanks for reading!

(And no, I totally didn't make that wiki in the last like week because work has been slow leading up to Thanksgiving... )

I can't see why not!

You'd fit right in on our discord server!

Not only do most of our blind community members love making jokes like that, or often times much more concerning one, you'll sit there very unsure on how to respond! The off topic channel is good fun all around!
