Hello, we're Blind Sparrow Interactive and our goal is to create exceptional, life-changing game experiences

Hi. It’s great to see another game come out which is accessible. The game sounds fun, and I for one will definitely be giving it a try. Thank you so much for creating this game.

If you want to create a game that will be successfull create a football (american), baseball and so on. I can not believe that one has not been created. At this time there is no sport games that is accessible to blind people. One that uses sound and can be play against others on line be very successful I am willing to pay for that. Most games are not even worth my money.

hi!
I can't wait to try it or buy it!
is it a RPG with some action!
I hope we can have more games such like it!
we have too many text adventure games and text RPG games

and this one will be have sounds and voice a acting.
I think

hi!
I hope in the future we can havemore types of games.
like shooting games.
and the very populare Battle Royale games too!

are these games free?

This sounds great. I haven’t found a dice roller, that is both accessible, and so versitile. The ability to save multiple custom rolls will be particularly useful.
I dont think a lot of users who have responded understood that this is a utility, and not it’s own stand alone game. Maybe a quick few sentences at the bottom of the post reiterating that this is a tool for playing tabletop games like Dungeons and Dragons would help.

I'm sorry if it's out of topic but when I hear the Word "tabletop", I remembered tabletop simulator and Secret Hitler. I'm so sad that secret hitler is still inaccessible. it's a very popular game amung all my friends and I'm so sad because I can't play it. I hope you or another developer WHO reads it can create an accessible version of it.
And for you, thank you for all the efforts. I will try the game as well :)

Hey ya Drew. Despite the number of folks not fully reading what you posted, please know that there are many of us that understand and appreciate what you guys are doing. I think we need an easy to use dice utility like this, and I'm sure it will be appreciated by those that are both into table top gaming and those that want to check it out. I completely agree that it is important to start small and build a solid foundation. I started a commercial PC based audio gaming site with a small project 14 years ago, and it is still going strong with hundreds of paying members and many multi player games. Please don't let the vocal minority that you may have seen on other game threads here get you down, there is a ton of support from the VI community for developers that focus on accessibility with well thought out and crafted apps. The best of luck to your entire team.

Hey Drew. Sure thing, the site is blindadrenaline.com.
Feel free to email me if you like at blindadrenaline@gmail.com.
BTW, my name is Che Martin, I should have mentioned that in my other post.. :)
Take care.

İt sounds great! As a player of D&D, I'm very happy.
I hope at some point the app will come to windows an Mac, because personally, I'm a computer user more then phone.
And sorry for my grammar issues, English is my second language. :)

Hi Drew, I have never tried tabletop games but definitely intend to do so in light of your efforts. it sounds like quite an undertaking and thanks in advance for all you do.

Just my thoughts on some game ideas for the future - wouldn't it be great to win the Ashes? To recreate that awesome spectacle of Mitchell Johnson bowling to ben stokes at Perth or stuart broad's 8-15 at Trent Bridge? There have been one or two cricket games written, but all rather artificial and nothing resembling a Test match. From my own perspective I'd also like to try my hand at winning the Six nations or World Cup. Baseball and american football get quite a lot of attention on here - rugby and cricket less so. Don't get me wrong - I am sure there are all sorts of difficulties in the way of making blind friendly cricket or rugby games that are at the same time true to the rules of those sports. What brilliant games they would be if they were possible, though - well worth paying a pretty penny for!

Hi Drew,
I'm so excited to hear that there is another game developer company out there. I have always wanted to see an accessible cooking game that both the blind and the sighted could play and I offer this as a suggestion. Also, I wanted to offer my services as a voice actress. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

I would love a tool for writing text games.

There use to be one, but apparently it's no longer accessible.

What I loved about this program was you didn't need to know programming or any sort of scripting language.

All you really needed was an idea.

Take a look at http://adrift.org.uk.

If something like this was still around, I might try and push the boundries of the interactive fiction games, and try and make one openworld.

Someone tried to do one a long time ago that was like the final fantasy games, but I unfortunately ran into a bug and could no longer continue.

People like to dismiss text games because they don't have sounds, but I think if they're written well enough, and they have good mechanics, then they could be enjoyable.

I occasionally play one from time to time that a developer posts to audiogames.net, and so far that's the closest I've come to an openworld text game.

I don't think I've tried tabletop before, do the games from the fighting fantasy project count? Somehow I doubt it, besides, I think tabletop rpg's need other people to play with.

@KoolTurk do you mean something like the Adventure Games Toolkit? I remember using that in the days of MS Dos PCs and creating some adventures that people enjoyed. Back then, I had a very limited audience, but assuming I could find the time I'd love to be able to write something like that again, this time for the iPhone environment. Bereft as I am of programming skills in any remotely contemporary language I would be one of those merchants who would lap up a platform where, as you so accurately put it, all you need is an idea.

@Bingo Little, similar, there was one called TADS, which stands for Text Adventure Development System.

I think you still needed to have limited programming skills to use that though.

What this program does is have items in menus, so you'd go to the menu, incert a room, then fill in the blanks, simply by tabbing to the right dialogue box or combo box.

I don't know what the later versions had, when I stopped using adrift you were able to incert pictures, which defeats the purpose of a text adventure, and music or sound effects.

Like all text games, you had the interpreter, for adrift's case, they just called it the runner, and of course the generator, which was used to write your text adventure.

Good times, of course, we still have text games, but I can't really get into any of them.

Either I lost interest or I simply just want to make my own.

I'm thinking of a quiditch game, where the flying would be done in a similar way to the many space muds out there.

Hey there,
I haven't had a chance to try it with an actual game yet, but I bought it yesterday and have started playing around with it. I can tell it'll be easy.
Question for sighted people: Can someone describe what the screen will look like when one rolls the dice? Will it look like a regular dice tray, or will it just show the numbers?

Thanks, I think this answers my question. Super appreciated. So basically all text spoken by the voice will be displayed.

Thanks

Hello: Anyone who wants a quick and natural way of writing text games can check out this link:

This is a great app, and is available on the mac as well. You can even write text-based games with randomness built-in such as dice games and such, without coding experience.
By the way, to the Blind Spero Interactive Team: you are doing such a nice job creating this platform of accessible games. It is always with great joy and pride to the Blind community when a sighted developer steps in and wants to do this sort of thing. And plus, it's not just accessible for the Blind, but also for everyone. It's called universal design. Thanks and again and I'm sure we all appreciate this. Bravo. Yea!

Hi I have used your app before. I love it. Please continue to make more accessible content for all of us to enjoy.

Loving & enjoying this app I recommend this to my friends & they also liking it :)
