This is how it went:

After a lot of theoretical input and research, I finally get to do some game development! Yeah!

I am surprised though that although I could play the example project with screenreader functionalities, I never got a chance to look inside it. So I guess I have to figure things out on my own - or use a completely different engine than Unity, if I want to make the game accessible to the screenreader.

But first, I need an idea on what to develop. I want it to be a very small idea, so that there a realistic chance for me to finish the project at some point.

The course provides me with some genres that I could choose from and that are "easy" to do, but I already have an idea on my own.

I also always wanted to use @kenney game assets in a project. So I will do that as well. There is even a low poly food package, but it does not feature a potato! So I will have to learn how to do model one in #Blender. A potato might be doable... right? At least I hope so. (edit: typo)

Then I get some tips on how to do inclusive worldbuilding. My game will probably not feature any characters or societies, which feels a bit like cheating. But on the other hand, I won't get stuck in my own head overthinking everything, so I count that as a win.

I am supposed to set an accessibility focus, and I will go with making the game accessible for #blind players, since I did not do that before and since most games are not accessible to them yet.

👇

The next step is getting feedback on my #game idea before I continue - so I am asking you dear reader to give me feedback on my idea.

What do you think about: Minimalistic #SurvivalGame - a tongue in cheek story survival game. Can you survive on a deserted island with nothing but a potato? Let me know, I am curious!

@JohannaMakesGames love it

Edit: which is to say that I have no idea how that would work, but I'd be keen to find out
