I beg you, do not walk, RUN to test out the winner of this years "Games for Blind Gamers 5" game jam: Impulse Response 🫣💀
It's a sound only horror game in space, voiced by @jennissary.bsky.social , that gives massive Alien: Isolation vibes!
So excited for this trailer, and for the representation of sign language and a student with (magical) hearing aids. #mtg

First of all, thank you so much to everyone for this award. I was happy with the nomination, so you can't imagine how I feel right now 😊. Everyone who was nominated alongside me was equally deserving, and it's an honor to be among them. Thank you so much.

The best awards show to watch! So excited to see these accessible games recognized!
This is such a pleasure to watch. Jim Henson Company did such a great job on the puppets. Just loving this #mtgLorwyn
Glad you enjoyed the game!
A parody holiday card that looks like the cover of a game sleave for a game called Holiday Obscure Exmaspedition 33. Santa is shown flying through the air, his clothing puffed up as if inflated with ai. He wears a stylized mask like that of the character Esquie. Elves in peppermint striped outfits wearing red caps, and a reindeer, ride on his back. Text on the left says : Once a year the Gift-tress awakens, her ominous ornament hung on the monument tree. And everyone of that age vanishes, as tinsel adorns the tree. Each year the number decreases. Soon she will hang the number 33, and when she does we will embark on our final mission - to confront the Gift-tress and end the Tinseling for good. Embark on Exmaspedition 33, alongside incredible characters as you quest to restore joy and holiday cheer. Let the world once again watch the tree be decorated without the shadow of the Gift-tress and her ornate number. - An emotional Xmas adventure story. - Turn-based gameplay at the North Pole. -LOTS of Elves - Single Player - 50 GB Minimum - YS5 Enhanced - Quad Shock 4 SantaFall Interactive, Blueray, Yule Station Exclusive. Warning if you have a history of Candy Eating or pie baking consult a doctor before use. Mature 17
Happy holidays everyone. Each year @doomedmaiden.bsky.social and myself work on a collaborative custom holiday card based on a game we enjoyed. (We are getting pretty good at predicting the GOTY with these.) Please enjoy "Holiday Obscure eX-MASpedition 33"! (so easy to pronounce) #goty #expedition33

Congratulations to the teams at ID Software and Bethesda for winning the Innovation in Accessibility award at this year's @thegameawards.com!
I know a really good Sr/Lead character artist who would be perfect for this project if you are open to remote folks.
Let's go!!!!
