[Accessibility-testing] Fwd: Accessibility playtesting

[Jason McIntosh]

This attached email from Ryan Tan has one surface question and one hidden one.

First of all, if anyone on the committee wishes to help Ryan directly with his project, please feel free to get in touch with him.

More generally, his question of finding blind IF playtesters is a very good one that, if anything, we should expect more of after we deliver the report.

“Go ask on intfiction.org <http://intfiction.org/>” is one obvious reply, but I don’t know how effective it is. I’m tempted to suggest audiogames.net, but… it doesn’t necessarily feel right to just redirect every project, whether amateur or professional, in that direction. I don’t wish to lean too hard on that community, of which I am not a member, as a free resource.

Other ideas? (And “No, send em all the audiogames.net, it’s fine” is an acceptable answer, if indeed it is. :) )

> Hi Jason,

> I'm Ryan, a student from Singapore. I've written a game in Twine that features a blind character as the protagonist and was wondering if it's possible for you to connect me with some blind playtesters, both for playability and to get their perspective on the story. I'd be happy to show you the game first, if you'd like. It's called Summer Night City and it's a dystopian piece revolving around the theme of alcohol.
