Games for the visually impaired (self.Blind)
submitted by Ankayuko
Hello! My name is Anca and I was wondering if you guys would be ok with answering some questions in a google poll. I am a PhD student and my thesis will be on games for the visually impaired people. I could really use some insight into what you would like, what kind of games you play etc. In the next few months I will start developing and your perspective is crucial for this. I will write my questions and be back this week. Will you help me? Thanks! Have a wonderful day/night!

Many people post surveys here, so people should be happy to answer your questions.

I have a friend who's totally blind and is a Mortal Kombat God. He's memorized all the moves and the sounds the game makes and I'm pretty sure he uses the vibration from the controller too. Personally I just have to get closer to my screen for games (not too much closer, and it depends on the game)

Wow, that's amazing! It's awesome that he has developed this skill to play without needing the graphics. Does he have a youtube channel where he posts his gaming sessions? I would love to see him play. So for you, most games are accessible. Would it help if the game included a way to magnify an area of choice?

He doesn't, though I think he's thought about it. Like I said, it really depends on the game for me but for most first person shooters it would help me if enemies stood out more (brighter colors/contrast) which is why I like games like overwatch and paladins, the graphics are simple, the maps aren't too dark, and the characters are visible.

THERE are quite a few gamers here and I think you'll get some good responses. :) I'll certainly answer your questions.

Hi. I really like word games. I wish there was more multiplayer word games.

Here is the survey, as promised. Thank you in advance! I've made a separate post about it. If you have the time, please share it with other visually impaired/blind people you know that are not in this community. Have a really nice day!

I mainly play on consoles like the PS4 and switch, as long as I have a zoom function, I'm able to play most games that I'm interested in. I mostly play J/RPGs.
