Recently, Diana Hughes, who is with Psychic Bunny, the makers of Freeq, posted a wonderful article about the five things they learned while making the game accessible. The article is at http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/DianaHughes/20131120/205346/5_Things_We_Learned_About_Developing_An_iOS_Game_for_Blind_Players.php I'm posting the entire article below because, mainly, four out of the five times I tried accessing the site

The Last Wizard!
It’s a regular Tuesday evening when you are pulled from the Earth and sent to a place where magic still exists. You are given a wizard's tower filled with arcane knowledge that you are expected to learn. Thrust into a war between two nations, it's up to you to save the kingdom where you now live.
"The Last Wizard" is a 185,000 word interactive fantasy novel by Mike Walter, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

I would briefly like to discuss these three apps and give a few thoughts and tips on each.
My hope is to enccourage others to try and to enjoy these apps as I do.
Please note I have tried Swag IQ and Cash Show and found them to be inaccessible at this point in time.
Also. I will not be submitting apps anymore as for me I find it extremely more challenging than I can handle. However I can put up informative posts like this to help people struggling with said apps in hopes it might clear up some confusion and make the app easier to use.

Do I get a certain number of crystals for free when I start using time crest? If I don't how many crystals should I use and how many should I buy?

Hi everyone. I was wondering if any of you playing timecrest, have got up to the point where you can go with Rodger or stay with the other girl. To do that, 200 relationship points are required and I was wondering what the best way to do that is?
Thanks.

We've just submitted to Apple a major update to Timecrest which is the culmination of us focusing on VoiceOver support over the last couple of months. We turned on screen curtain, put on our headphones, and played through the whole game using VoiceOver. As a result, we've added a ton of new features and improved a lot of UI for our VoiceOver users.
We'll update this thread again when the update is out, probably in the next 1-2 weeks. Below are the detailed patch notes so you know what's coming.

Hello everyone.
As a big fan of CoG and choose your own adventure games I wrote to TMG to see when will their games be accessible on IOS and this was the reply I got.
Hello!
Accessibility for the visually impaired is actually something that we are very interested in providing, and we have been trying to get it built into our various systems since the very beginning.

Hello. I was looking for a pet game on app store.It is called Tiny Sheep and I think it could be made accessible.

I've discovered that by playing Wordle on my phone using the desktop site, I can review my entries with the help of image description. There's also immediate feedback once the enter button is pressed. The desktop site can be enabled temporarily in the root menu of page settings, or permanently in the page settings/settings menu. Of course, I also use the bookmarklet Make Wordle Accessible. HTH :-)

When you start a game, do not leave the (waiting for a player to join) screen. Stay there until someone eventually joins your game or until you get tired of waiting. The game seems to have connection, as well as notification issues when the app is left in the background. At least that's how it appears to me. Also, do not leave the game during gameplay, as it often causes the game to freeze. Sorry if I sound like a gamer dictator lol, but staying on the appropriate screens seems to be the workaround for these problems.

Hi, me and some of my blind friends really want to play Town of Salem but we think it's inaccessible. For me it's inaccessible at internet Explorer, I haven't tried safari yet.
Do any of you know if the game is accessible or not? If not, do you have a similar game suggestion that's accessible? If no to both, I think it's really good game and we can contact the developers for accessibility. Sorry for my bad English, admins can edit my post if they want to.

If you saw me, sporting my pink dress and Apple wand covered in flowers and topped with a crystal, you would know something about me; namely, that I’ve never grown up and don’t plan to.
I have played a lot of games on the iPhone but nothing I have come across has anything to do with the kind of heart warming, sugary endorphine rush that I would like to play. I just saw a cute game on the App Store called tooth fairy sweet princess. And you guessed it, it’s not even remotely accessible.

I'm an indie dev from Lithuania. I just released a huge update for my game Traffic Brains 2. Added many new gameplay features.
In this game, you will have to solve traffic problems to increase traffic flow quality.
It is a puzzle, not a real-time action game.
You will have to place road signs to divert or block traffic. Setup traffic lights patterns for best intersections throughput.
I'm looking forward to knowing what you think!

Hi all,
as the subject says a trailer for papasangre2 is now available on youtube.
However from an audio point of view its a bit rubbish, I know its a mainstream game that is going to be accessible, but all the trailer is is a bit of whispering and a guy saying hello.
I will probably buy this game when it comes out because I played the first one and enjoyed it, but I certainly wouldn't buy it just based on this trailer, its only about 50 seconds, and quite a bit of that is silence so I presume its showing some sort of creepy video.
Anyway for those who want to listen the youtube link is below,

Someone suggested this game as an audio game that I could play. I downloaded it and, it doesn’t seem to be accessible. I do not find any way of turning on a mode which voiceover can use or where it voices the menus. Was someone completely incorrect in suggesting this game? It does have wonderful sound effects.
