[games_access] question about Point & Click Games

[Sandra Uhling]

Hi,

ok we have it, my topic of my bachelor thesis will be:

"Analyse von Barrieren in Point & Click Adventures und Entwicklung von
Empfehlungen zu deren Vermeidung in Form von Interaction Design Patterns"

"Analyze of barriers in point & click adventures and development
of recommendation how to avoid them as Interaction Design Patterns.

I hope the translation is ok.

@Tim, maybe your contacts are interested in this?
Maybe I will need some point of views of a company?



The wintermute engine has already inbuilt support for people with
low vision.


Best regards,
Sandra

Additionally I might add that you could probably make a version of them that
uses voice narration to describe the scene, actions, etc. for someone who
was deaf.

	I was just talking to some people at work about accessibility for
graphical adventure games and whether we could use a scanning switch setup.
The only problem we could think of is that you can't have "hidden" items in
the game with a scanning setup, since the scanning would reveal all the
items.

	They strike me as potentially a great kind of game for accessibility
since there often aren't any timing issues (e.g., player has to click fast).

		Eithers fine within the correct context. So if you're
talking about a point and click "spot the difference" game for instance it's
a point and click game. If it's a graphical adventure - then point and click
adventure game is fine too. There's no hard and fast rules though.

			Hello,
			
			I do not know the right term. Is it
			
			Point & Click Games or
			Point & Click Adventures ?
			
			I am looking for the main term.
			
			Best regards,
