Over the last few weeks I have been working on making a Sims-like game, #ParaLives, #accessible for #blind #screenReader users.

This is essentially a game with two modes: live mode, where your not-sims called paras live their lives, go to work, set their house on fire trying to cook, etc., and build mode, where you build a house, sometimes from scratch, and decorate it.

For as far as I know, there is quite literally 0 games of this type that work for this demographic, so it's a huge amount of pioneering. So far, I have that first mode mostly working, and I released a first free version a few days ago (rest is on Patreon).
Build mode is next, and that will be a great conceptual challenge to work on.
This is the kind of work i like doing. No fighting with disgruntled PMs over legal coverage, just... making shit actually work for people.
if you need some of that, consider this my #getFediHired post. If not, but still wana help, patreon.com/zersiax.
Money tight? Boosting helps.
