[games_access] Big red barrel gaming for good series

[Barrie Ellis]

Maybe it's time to make that elusive game? http://www.auntiepixelante.com/twine/ - And that process in itself may be the engaging game, and do more than just mark time? I'm tempted (plus to make a two-switch accessible Twine game using TAB and RETURN, and accessibility guidance).

On a different note, I liked this unusual game featuring a paralysed man: http://switchgaming.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/the-world-is-in-your-hands.html.

Terrific article and I look forward to the future articles in the series covering AbleGamers and SpecialEffect! 

Interesting to read about the author's social anxiety and gaming. I must say that I am still trying to find that game that will match up with my anxiety and depression that is engaging when I am struggling rather than ending up making me feel like all I have done is mark time. A very tough thing to crack open and potentially very individualistic. I'm wondering if the type and severity of these things lend themselves for certain games but not others. I imagine that some of the social causes of these also play a great role in what will work for some but not for others.

  Nice angle on the benefits of gaming from someone with social anxiety. First in a series of articles too, others to include Ablegamers and SpecialEffect:
