a question for blind gamers (self.Blind)
submitted by Leon_noco1
I'm making a horror game that unique because the blind can possibly play as well as those with full vision...possibly. It's a top-down 2d game that involves navigation by sound and your movements, there's almost nothing displayed on the screen. My question to this community is "Can most of the blind community understand the idea of an aerial/bird's eye/top-down view?". If so, great! you can join in on the horror no problem :) if not, I'll try to edit my game mechanics to suit the blind.

Have you played any audio games? They can definitely help inspire a method of navigating that's very intuitive.

I would probably understand cardinal directions, if that's what you mean, vs like, you turned left so now up is right instead.
