The community of Games For Blind gamers invites all developers to work on their accessible video game project during July 2026 and share their progress!
Check out our wiki at Games for Blind Gamers Wiki and our Discord community! There you'll find links to our past games, resources to get started and helpful support!
What: A month-long jam to start, continue or finish a game or tool, work on its accessibility and share your progress! You can: make an inaccessible game accessible; start a new game; make a accessibility plugin for an old project; or work on making accessible tools!
Why: Use this as encouragement to work on your awesome project and collect feedback! The core of accessibility is getting feedback, and we're excited to give it!
How: Work on your project, share it here and in discord, get feedback, and celebrate everyone's hard work!
1. Blind-friendly: Each entry should be (or try to be) playable by completely blind gamers. This is our community's main focus, so it is a main requirement. Check our past jams for resources on making blind-accessible games.
2. Working towards Accessibility (visual, motor, auditory, cognitive, etc): If you don't finish your accessible project, that's okay! But it should be obvious you are working towards it.
3. No GenAI content: Output of generative AI should not be present in your project, except if it's required for an accessibility need.*
*EXCEPTIONS: Usage for your own personal accessibility need (e.g.: Your game engine has a portion that is inaccessible, so you use GenAI to modify it and make it accessible for you.) Note: even if it's used for accessibility, make sure to comply with Itch.io Rules on AI disclosure. If for whatever reason you are unsure on anything relating to this rule, please contact the team on Discord.
