Ooooooh these are really great, thanks. Did you find timed button releases were doable (as opposed to to timed button presses)?

Hi everyone. I like your game jam! I might not be able to join because of time constraints but I will be watching and trying the games. I like your ideas so far. I have something to just throw out there IDK if it will work or not. How about game mechanics that reward shaking? One example would be Wario Shake it on Wii. When Wario grabs a money bag the player has to shake the controller to make the coins jump out. A platformer game probably is not the best example but this game mechanic could possibly be used in other genres.

I don't have time to join, but I like this idea for a Jam!  It looks to me that it depends on the game.

My ideas were something like:

• Platformer/hack'n'slasher: if multiple buttons are pressed, then excellent - it just means your character does more attacks!  Basically what we called "button mashing" when playing Tekken back in the day.
• first person: voice controls, to control the character, it would probably need to be a bit slower and give time for the voice stuff to happen.

While my hands work fine, I know that my wife has small hands with limited range and can't use a game controller or keyboard properly, so any game with too many buttons won't be good for her.  She can't even press W and Space at the same time.  But, the theme is "hand tremors", and interesting to consider these once you start looking into it.

I've been working on an Accessibility Suite for Godot that addresses some of the points mentioned in this thread; a custom is_action_just_pressed function includes a customizable delay, so a player with hand tremors who might accidentally press the same button multiple times in a short time period will only register as the one original intended press. There's also functionality to convert button holds to toggles; so if your game normally requires players hold down a button/key to crouch, for example, you can easily surface an option to allow players to press the button once to crouch, and a second time to stop crouching. If any Godot devs are participating in this jam, hopefully one of them can find this useful!

I don't think I'll have time to participate in this jam, but I'll definitely be monitoring it to learn what other ways us developers can work to make games more accessible for everyone.
