Goal is a 100% blind gamer friendly #indiegame. Got a great plugin for screen reader compatibility. Reads things it shouldn't, like image filenames. Doesn't read things it should, like in-battle menus. Workarounds take time and lateral thought. #Accessibility IS important, but ISN'T always easy.

Discovered a new (to me) #retrogaming and JP pop culture store in a shopping centre I don't visit often. Decent selection. I snagged 'Parodius da!' (GB) for AU$15. Dude said he had no idea about the JP games, so I told him what this one was (a parody of Gradius) but he just looked at me blank. 😅

I wonder if sighted players will choose 'Screenreader mode' just for the additional #comic style text boxes and cute robot bat sidekick? Narrative adventure #indiegame ◀Future Ghost▶ will have a bunch of #accessibility features, including this special mode for players with impaired (or no) vision.

Been doing #gamedev stuff that isn't so easily shared, of late. Like 🧠-driven EN→JP #translation for the in-game timeline, not 🤖-driven (pictured). Improving the screen reader compatibility for greater pronunciation accuracy has been another, for #accessibility and pedantry purposes.

Dynamic timeline for #comic styled #indiegame Future Ghost now 95% functional! Video shows... • player character on a mountain + idle animation • menu opening & Timeline selected • Timeline opening, most entries locked, accessed using keyboard, then mouse • start of a cutscene, played from Timeline

Kenn @ Pinebox Games @pineboxgames.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

Simple stuff never is. This WIP in-game dynamic timeline took a weekend. Building for multiple input methods has been the real kicker. Choose from perfect mouse input with "laggy" keyboard/gamepad (press twice to move b/w active entries) or broken mouse input! Cutscene playback *basically* works.

All the PAX AU posts are making me feel like I'm missing out, as both a potential exhibitor and attendee. But then I remember my family and two jobs, and that gamedev is just my hobby. Maybe one day it will be something more. Exhibiting at TGX in March was great but so impractical and costly... 😓
