Over the last 3 iterations we as a community have created over 70 blind accessible video games, and we would love if you all signed up and helped make this the most successful jam yet!

Also I will say programming accessibility for a game is an interesting challenge for anyone thinking about it. I had to learn a lot about API and screen readers to make my games usable for my entries!

That name doesn’t roll off the tongue too well!

You’re not wrong! Alas I am an admin, not the host. Also we wanted it to be very obvious that it’s a game jam about blind accessibility. Could he have picked a different name? Probably, but at this point we’re kinda committed!

I think it being the 4th one is more the issue really.
