A good system for describing a game could also be used to help create narration of movies for visually impaired people. Or even descriptions of audio for those with hearing loss.
- filiph 5y agoHi, I'm the author. One of the coolest things I learned after releasing the game was that it's played by folks with visual impairment. It's "playable with issues" (meaning I have work to do), but playable nonetheless.
- pugworthy 5y agoHey very cool! Glad you've had a chance to try that. If you've never done it, find a TV and movie or show that has audio descriptions of visuals for visually impaired audiences. It's kind of an interesting experience to hear a voice over describing the scene. One of my favorites was the description of the opening Paramount logo animation. Something like, "Stars flying from a dark sky skim across the surface of a calm lake towards a distant mountain, then circle the mountain as the name 'Paramount' appears"
