BARE Jam 1 (Blind Accessibility Research and Exploration)
A game jam from 2023-07-22 to 2023-07-31 hosted by NightBlade & vampirebox. Welcome to the first BARE Jam! The goal of this jam is to explore technologies we can use to make games accessible to blind players. Beginners and vet...itch.io
Hi #PortfolioDay, my first on Mastodon. I'm Mane, a freelance 3D artist who loves voxels and Blender.
#Yaga #mod for the #Gothic #game status update.
Recently the Open Gothic reimplementation of the ZenGin engine became quiet stable which let me to wonder whether it wouldn’t be easier to port YAGA to this engine, instead of relying on the Union SDK which is basically a set of reverse-engineered classes of the original ZenGin engine. This way, we get macOS compatibility, future-proof support for future Windows releases, ETC. That means a lot of Yaga’s code base would have to be rewritten from scratch, but that’s with the benefit.
Tell me what you guys think, and let’s comment on this issue if you have some valuable insights

Hello everyone! This is the very first open test of my blind accessible game engine called Unseen RPG Engine, a niche game engine that allows anyone to easily make turn based RPGs, at least that's the goal! This is very early and the purpose of this is to try and start getting the critical feedback I'll need to make this accessible, usable, and fun. Learn more about it, join the discord community, and download it here! ericbomb.itch.io/the-unseen-rp…

Hello everyone, I'm super happy, and very nervous, to say that the Unseen RPG Engine now has a usable demo! Before getting into downloading and features, I want to be be very upfront with what this ve...Ericbomb (itch.io)
Hi everyone! Can anyone who depends on a screen reader read this for me and tell me if it works? I'm making a tutorial on how to make a Roguelike for my blind accessible game engine, so just wanna make sure it's in a good format! It will have informational and instructional content split up to hopefully make it easier for screen readers to find what is needed. Download .txt sample file here!
Hi everyone! A week long jam about making blind accessible games is going to be next month! It's all about testing out new tech to make blind accessible games! I hope some folks join! itch.io/jam/bare-1

So my tool that I'm making is being made with Game Maker. Game Maker doesn't have built in Text To Speech capabilities, so I hired someone to make a DLL for GameMaker so GMS2 games can now work with NVDA, SAPI, JAWS, and a few others I never heard of! If you use GameMaker, check it out since it's licensed under LPGL! Also tell the developer they did good because they did!

#gameDev #indieDev #accessibility
When designing #UI and #UX, consider the "Golden 8-bit Ratio".
Text was never hard to read on 8-bit systems. A single character, generally 8x8, was a large enough portion of the screen to remain legible at distance (ie TV).
The textmode ratio of 40 or 80 chars wide by 25 chars high is a standard on MANY microcomputers and terminals. On terminals, this ratio exists today.
Consider making your text at least this large. Tiny text is really, really shitty.
If you or someone you know were affected by the recent layoffs - or if you're looking to work at small, fully-remote studio developing an original IP - we have several openings on our jobs page:
We are seeking:
- Production Director
- Lead DevOps Engineer
- Principal Systems Designer
- Principal Backend Engineer
- Tech Art - Rigging
- Tech Art - Shaders and Materials
Fully remote, good benefits, good people.
Help us make something fun & inspiring!
The next alpha of 0 A.D. will feature an experimental Vulkan backend! It took 1.5 years of refactoring to get there but it will open new opportunities in the future!
You can test it and report bugs by downloading the development version of the game.

Vulkan - new graphics API
I was doing different refactorings of our engine for last 1.5 years. It's allowed me to add a new backend (graphics API) - Vulkan. It's relatively new API (as D3D12) which allows us to have a more predictable and stable performance.vladislavbelov (Wildfire Games Community Forums)

Hej #gamedev! Help needed💛
I'm making a #indiegame where you play as a #dinosaur to find out about your past, as well as take care of a baby #Daspletosarus. It's called Zid Journey!
It's a sequel to cozy #pointandclick #adventuregame Zniw Adventure and features charming cartoony artstyle.
I enjoy #paleontology (both exctinct and extant😉) so the game is full of age- and place- accurate #prehistoric creatures.
Any good places can promote my game? Are there any sites that can write about it?
Happy end-of-December!
I assembled a small breakout game as a Christmas present as part of a Secret Santa exchange, and they've given me the go-ahead to post it publicly. Enjoy:

If you don't know, I'm working on an open-source multiplayer shooter game called #Liblast.
There's a small team working on the game, but we're always looking for new contributors - if you're familiar with #Godot and would like to help make this game happen, check out codeberg.org/unfa/Liblast/ !
Here's one of the playtesting session we've held a couple months ago:
The game is still changing a lot and we have lots of exciting developments in the making.

Wow, it’s kind of nuts how a redraw of a character can look radically different.
I feel like I did a pretty good job of capturing a Sierra look-and-feel for the second sprite. Anyway, here’s my sad fisherman. #PixelArt
