<div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;">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>
