Hi all,
My name is Felipe Oliveira, and I'm the developer behind Dungeon Scoundrel.
Some of you played Dungeon Scoundrel in the past and had a great time. I spent some time making it 100% playable with VoiceOver so blind players could face the 12 dungeons.
I recently launched an update with a few new features, but mostly focused on the new art style for the cards.
If you're new to the game, you can download it here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dungeon-scoundrel/id6756222423
I'd love feedback on the new changes, but that's not the reason for this post.
I'm working on a new game with blind players as the main audience. Soon I'll have a playable version on TestFlight. It's a game like Wordle, but for musical notes. I'll share more details later, but let me know in the comments if you'd like to help test it.
I'm also looking for ideas for new games for the blind community:
- Is there a game you'd like to have with 100% VoiceOver support?
- Is there a game you used to play but can't play anymore?
- What about multiplayer games? I was thinking of an asynchronous, turn-based game where each player makes a move and passes the turn, then the other player takes their turn when they're ready, and so on until the game is over. Would that work for games like checkers or chess? What else could it work for?
- What about a "choose your own adventure" type of game with narration and some RPG elements?
Tell me what you all think!

Hi! First off, I really enjoy playing Dungeon Scoundrel. Thank you for making it accessible, and for planning to make your future games accessible as well! This Wordle with musical notes game sounds intriguing, I'd love to test when it's ready. As for other game ideas, I really like your idea of multiplayer games where you can take your turn in your own time, I think this could work for lots of game types, I've seen word games, card games, trivia games and board games that work this way but I bet there could be other types of games like this as well! Maybe even combining the choose your own adventure idea with multiplayer, where players alternate making choices to keep the game progressing? Just a thought. As for other types of games, I think it would be cool if we had a game like Pokemon Go where we aollect creatures, level them up, trade and battle with our friends. We used to have a game that was pretty accessible called Mobbles that was like this, but unfortunately it's no longer available. Overall I think multiplayer games, especially those that don't need to be played in realtime and those that can be enjoyed by both blind and sighted players, are what I'd be most excited to see at the moment.

Hey Paige,
The musical notes game is being reviewed by Apple and should be available for testing in a day or two. I'll let you all know when it's ready.
I loved the idea of a multiplayer "choose your own adventure." I'll think about how that could work. I think I have an old project in an old notebook that could fit, and I'll get back to you once I sketch it out more.
US Football
If you want to be very popular do a game not managing them but playing it. There was one for windows a long ago. I had not seen OK listen to any game that is playing football. I miss playing it.
Re: US Football
Do you remember the football game name or how it used to play?
To be honest, I never played American football game before. I’ve played soccer games like fifa.
I have a soccer game on Reddit, but it is hard to play with voice over because you need to drawn a path so your soccer players move in that direction to kick the ball
