Games for Sighted and Non Sighted

Posted by on April 4th, 2010 · Uncategorized

With the major requirement that a game be created for the sighted and non sighted, my previous games are debunked.

I have thought of other games;

  • Beach Scavenger in this game the player will have to scour the beach for anything of value and with the items that have been found the player can sell them and buy upgrades for their equipment. Whilst looking for buried treasure, the player will have to be mindful that they do not get sunburnt.

    The player will be using a mouse to look for the valuables (or not so valuables) and as the cursor gets closer to the hidden item, a sound will go off, like a metal detector. The level of sunburn on the player can be reflected by a sizzling sound that will get gradually louder. I am trying to keep the number of resources to a minimum because I do not want to overload the sounds in the game.

    The visual will simply be a beach background, with the mouse being a metal detector and when the player clicks a location then the digger will walk to the location and start digging.

  • Eavesdropper – this game is esesntially a “Where’s Wally?” game with audio. There will be a lot of white/background noise and the player will have to find the sound they are listening for.

    This type of game can be applied to many game stories, like an espionage/spy game.

  • Fighter Pilot – You will be a pilot, and your RIO will be telling you where the bogeys are; like “Bogey at 12 o’clock”. Then you will turn your plane and then you will have to try and locate the plane, not sure if this will be a good game for the blind
  • Magic Combat – You have energy, and with this energy allows you to manipulate a sound frequency and/or amplitude. Then the two combatants will fire their sounds at each other and then there will be a resultant sound which will cause damage to one of the combatants.
