OlegNew Accessible Game Test Incoming! 🚨 Throughout my life, I've explored several <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/AccessibleGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AccessibleGames</a> designed or modded with accessibility in mind: 🎮 <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/WorldOfWarcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WorldOfWarcraft</a> with <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BlindSlash</a> Mode 🌾 <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/StardewValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#StardewValley</a> with <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/StardewAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#StardewAccess</a> Mod 🪓 <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Minecraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Minecraft</a> with <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/MinecraftAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MinecraftAccess</a> 🃏 <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Hearthstone" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Hearthstone</a> with <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/HearthstoneAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HearthstoneAccess</a> Now, I'm absolutely pumped as I prepare to dive into a new game... 🔥 <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/DiabloIV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#DiabloIV</a> 🔥 I've heard many claim it's one of the most AccessibleGames out there for people with all kinds of disabilities. That's a rare compliment for any game, but hey, you never know until you try! I had to open a ticket yesterday about the DiabloIV trial, and they mentioned BlizzardAccessibility email. Not sure if I'll end up writing detailed Accessibility test cases (knowing me, I probably will), but will <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Blizzard" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Blizzard</a> actually pay attention? Time will tell. 💬 Got thoughts on DiabloIV or <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/BlizzardAccessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BlizzardAccessibility</a>? Drop them below! If I see that they're really responsive to <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/AccessibilityFeedback" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AccessibilityFeedback</a>, I'll gladly test the game and share any bugs or challenges I encounter! I'm completely new to <a href="https://dragonscave.space/tags/Diablo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Diablo</a>—never played it even when I was sighted—so let’s get the ball rolling! What should I expect? 🎧⚔️

Joan AlbrightMade some final revisions and posted the <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a> user guide up ... uh, on my AO3 account since I'm broke and my blog is down.<a href="https://archiveofourown.org/works/54340738" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://archiveofourown.org/works/54340738</a>New version is also in the Discord, of course.

Joan AlbrightHow blind accessible is <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/WoW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WoW</a> natively, exhibit 47 - an excerpt from the <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a> guide:"While some of the elevators in World of Warcraft have safety features like railings and make noise when they arrive, others are silent platforms of death. Where possible, we have left instructions in the waypoints beside each elevator with how to navigate them, but some will require a leap of faith and a corpse run."

Joan AlbrightSomething over 2/5 done revising the new <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a> guide, but I think I will succumb to this headache now.

Joan Albright<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a> user guide first draft is DONE. Yeehaw! Now just need to do some revisions.

Joan AlbrightIn case you were wondering how blind accessible World of Warcraft is natively, I have written 14k words for this guide to navigating Exile's Reach using our 3 core addons and a login helper program.I'm only halfway through the zone.<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/WorldOfWarcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorldOfWarcraft</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a>

Joan AlbrightAnd DONE! Legion artifact quests for all *checks notes* 36 specs are logged and mapped, pending the next major version of <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a>. Next up: getting 9 alts (3 are already done) to level 45 so I can complete the entirety of each order hall's campaign. Again. (I already have that achievement, lol.)<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/WorldOfWarcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorldOfWarcraft</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a>

Joan AlbrightOnly two Legion artifact weapon scenarios left to map and record for <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a>. I'm probably not halfway through the rest of the order hall quests yet but that will be a big milestone.

Joan AlbrightI think that just leaves 2 classes to do order hall starting quests for. I still have tons of spec quests to map, but not really sure on the count for those. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a>

Joan AlbrightMy brain is melty, but I mapped a whole chapter of the Emerald Dream quests tonight. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a>

Joan AlbrightHey guys, I just noticed that the Epic Edition of WoW: The War Within includes beta access, which would be great for getting in early and mapping the new zones for the <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a> addon to help our blind community start playing on day one. If I had any money at all I would be mashing that pre-order button right now, but since I don't, I thought I would see if anyone else was interested in lending a hand.<a href="https://gofund.me/324aedae" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gofund.me/324aedae</a><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Warcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Warcraft</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/WorldOfWarcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorldOfWarcraft</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Accessibility</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/GofundMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GofundMe</a>

Joan AlbrightI did the WoD intro on an Alliance character so I could map paths for <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a>, and oh my gosh is that music annoying. Also there's a Warden in my garrison, ugh.

Joan AlbrightFeel like I mapped half of Azsuna today. I'm sure it was way less than that, but I'm pretty sure I more than doubled what I had done already. Did get stuck on one obstacle-filled quest area, really need a couple more levels so I can fly and see the layout properly without getting mobbed. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a>

Joan AlbrightI have spent two days mapping Stormheim and I'm not even half done. Most of today was spent on Hrydshal and those crazy narrow wall paths. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a>

Joan AlbrightMaps. So many maps. Alas, the priest's order hall is flagged noscript and can't be mapped, but at least it's basically just an open room. So far none of the other order halls I've done have been flagged, which is lucky since they're all twisty and criss-crossed. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a>

Joan AlbrightJust mapped the entirety of Legion Dalaran in one day. I am. So. Tired. And I haven't even done the order halls. 😆 (Except for rogue, which is actually in the city. And has no fewer than 4 secret entrances. Guard your purses, folks.) <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/BlindSlash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlindSlash</a>
