Thanks for this! Im hyping myself up to start work on a graphic novel ive been wanting to make since 2007, and i need all the advice i can get lol

Hello,

I've made in the past a game that was compatible with my phone's screen reader, more or less (this one here:  https://lizziesmithson.neocities.org/FSEGame ) which I tested on my phone's screen reader and which seems fairly functional from what I can tell albeit with some irritating flaws (I wasn't able to get a tutorial working and the instruction sheet for the card game it's based on that I included is not screen reader compatible, which is frustrating), and I was interested in making another game like it and hopefully getting some feedback from players who use screen readers more regularly in hopes of improving my technique at designing these sorts of things...

Would it be inappropriate to use solely the screen reader tools I have available at my disposal to make a game for this jam, or is it required to design unique audio for our games? 

Thanks in advance!

Ah, no--you can play the card whenever you want if you're holding it. Excuse me, when I have a minute, I'll clarify that in the rules.

Wow! Thank you so much!

I found this game very moving--weirdly, the part that most horrified me (even moreso than the job hunting in Hollywood part!) was hearing about how Sears compensated its workers--as a retail employee who does art as a hobby, that sounded incredibly dark and not something I would be able to tolerate either lol. Congratulations on surviving!

thank you haha-i want to branch out so that I'm not just a one trick pony but also I find it very easy to get excited about these kinds of games, lol

This game made me laugh good job

I want to help out but I need to ask first:

Tabletop games are permitted to be submitted, correct (I don't see why they wouldn't be, but it never hurts to ask)?

Is it okay to submit a game that's pay what you want, or is it required to be a paid project?

Thanks in advance

thank you!

I love this

Stumbled onto this while browsing around--I know this game is a bit old (I mean, one year--I guess that's not that old lol), but it sounds really interesting, and I look forward to playing it when I get a minute!

Just wanted to let you know I like these comics.

Fun little game. I played it four times, but only won on my final try, with a score of 2. I don't think I quite understood the strategy with the white die--it seems like it's just never a good idea to trade it? I enjoyed the game, though!

thank you!

I laughed pretty hard at the first story haha

it says on the jam description that it's fine to do a game about your experiences with disability, and I had an idea for a hyper-small kind of abstract physical game I could do about my experiences with my neurodivergence, but I wouldn't really call it accessible (game involves physically walking around which is kind of inaccessible imo)--would that be acceptable or is that a problem for this jam?

thank you!

if you ever get money I'll bet you can find better things to spend it on than this.

Glad someone liked that one lol--Thanks!

hey! Well, if we're sharing things we've already made, I make hyper-simple little, I guess they're ttrpgs although they tend to be a little light on the roleplaying aspect, paired with illustrations--in terms of size, this here is probably the smallest one that's actually any good (twenty-something words--i counted the # of words, but then I forgot while typing this comment >_<): https://lizziesmithson.neocities.org/Zines#135

game jam sounds fun! I already have some vague ideas of stuff i'd like to submit, I hope that doesn't count as cheating lol

Very good. My psychosis has never been as severe as your character's, but I definitely related to some of the imagery. deltarune comic was good too.

This zine rules. Anyway, I don't want to alarm you or anything, but I think you might've gotten shadowbanned on twitter. I deleted my twitter account a year ago (cause it was giving me brain damage), but I check some of the accounts I used to follow from time to time, and your tweets haven't been showing up when I've searched for them. If this is a false alarm, good, but I know you rely on twitter for income and I wanted to let you know just in case you didn't already know. Sorry if this is old information, my bad if so.

Just found this--I really liked it! Lovely story.

How do I get the game to start? I can't get past the title screen.

Very sweet! Also, I like your art!

Very cute comic!

Hey, thank you!

Just played--got 16 points! IT Worker! Almost got zapped too many times, but I placed all the components, lol

I think the rules could be a bit clearer--it took me a bit to figure out that "movement" means the number of spaces you are allowed to move and "direction" determines the direction--I initially couldn't figure out what movement meant in this context, because the rules barely clarified. I was able to figure it out, though!

I played it on a drawing program on my computer, and I drew and erased my position each turn--I definitely feel I would've had a better time actually printing it out and using a penny or some kind of marker to mark my place. I think the latter might have been your intention, so I won't hold that against you lol.

I also think it would be better if I'd played it with friends, instead of going solo--i think you intended it as a multiplayer game, haha or that's the impression I get anyway

Good game! Keep going!

Nice visual novel! Better than what I could make lol

Pretty good masocore game--I don't play these too often, so I wasn't the best at it lol--I got to the part where the canons double as platforms. Couldn't beat it. Pretty good!

I wish it got faster a little faster lol--I had fun, though!

I like the visuals! Very stylish.

Pretty neat in my opinion. Took me a couple of tries!

Pretty good! Collision detection on the boat is ruthless lol

This is a very nice one! I enjoyed the lunge mechanic, I've not seen that on a game like this before.

Neat driving game!

Couldn't beat it lol I am bad at bullet hell type games X_x

Fun maze game! Had a good time.
