Can you send me the contact off list and I will ask the team to see what broke?<br><br>Mark<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, Jan 27, 2019 at 4:25 PM Austin Seraphin <<a href="mailto:austin@austinseraphin.com">austin@austinseraphin.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p>Interesting. I'd love to see these tools become more accessible.
I agree about Inform on Mac OS. I tried it on Linux as well and it
had a clunky interface even for those standards. If they have
received an update in the last two or three years I could give it
another shot. I didn't think to test it because it never came up.</p></div><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

I’m processing the requests from the volunteers that Zack rustled
up now, and wanted to share this one in particular, coming from a
member of the blind gamer community who wants to use IF creation
tools, Twine and Inform included. I of course stand by our
decision to drop that facet from our testing, but I think this is
a nice reminder that the interest is out there.

<div>Hello,<br>
<br>
Despite me being involved in the Able Gamers Player
Panel, I had no<br>
idea you were looking for testers for Interactive
Fiction. I just saw<br>
the blog post but, upon seeing that the player
panels are involved, I<br>
was shocked. I haven't got an email from them since
October.<br>
<br>
Despite this however, definitely consider me very
interested in both<br>
helping accessibility of IF both as a player and as
an aspiring<br>
author. I say aspiring author at this point because
it appears that<br>
only the Sugar Cube Twine option is accessible when,
perhaps, I'd like<br>
to use the default easier option. Adrift 5 is
completely inaccessible<br>
and the developer doesn't seem to want to figure out
a way to change<br>
it, even if suggestions are provided. The Quest
desktop client is not<br>
too great either.<br>
<br>
Inform is the closest to being accessible, but
testing/debugging games<br>
in the default parchment runner internally in
Inform... it needs work,<br>
as does being able to read errors and jumping to
those lines in the<br>
code the errors reference. It may be easier on
Windows... there are<br>
several blind Inform authors, however it was too
slow and clunky on<br>
macOS using VoiceOver.<br>
<br>
So yes, I'd love to be a tester even if we're only
at the playing stage for now.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
