Announcing the No Video Jam

An audio game jam without graphics

Please join us on Friday, August 14, for the No Video Jam, an audio game jam featuring accessible games without graphics. Participants will create blind-friendly games of any genre using audio and accessible text. Submissions will then be judged by the public based on criteria like accessibility, fun, originality, and sound.

Since I began making audio games I’ve learned that it’s a niche and neglected market. Gamers who are blind often feel isolated from the mainstream gaming community and have few games made specifically for them. My hope with organizing this jam is to give them visibility by normalizing audio games with sighted developers and gamers. Then when it’s over they’ll have more games in their canon to enjoy and discuss.

I’m looking forward to hearing what everyone creates!
