I want to share a small story.

A while ago, I posted my indie game on Reddit to get feedback.

Among many comments, there was one that really stayed with me. A blind player, from a country very far away from mine, asked if I could add VoiceOver support so they could play the game.

At that time, my game was still messy. A lot of things were unfinished, and I couldn’t add it right away.

But I didn’t forget that message.

Later, when the project became more stable, I thought about it again. My game is still very small. Maybe only a few hundred people play it regularly. Maybe that person is the only blind player who will ever play my game.

But somehow, that made it feel even more important.

So I added VoiceOver support.

A few hours after the update went live, around 5 AM where I live, I got a private message from that player. They told me they were happy that I had listened, and that they were able to complete the first stage of the game.

Honestly, that message made my day.

Even more surprisingly, that player later shared my game on AppleVis, a website for blind and visually impaired users. Before this, I had never even heard of AppleVis. I didn’t know there was such a dedicated community helping each other discover accessible apps and games.

Seeing my small game appear there was something I never expected.

As developers, we often look at numbers: downloads, reviews, revenue, retention.

But sometimes, one real player is enough to remind you why building things matters.

So I just want to say thank you to the blind and visually impaired gaming community. Thank you for your feedback, your patience, and for reminding me that accessibility is not just a feature. For some players, it is the difference between being able to play or being left out completely.

If you are making an app or a game, and you have a chance to add accessibility support, please consider it.

Someone out there may really need it.

P/s: I wrote this in my native language and used ChatGPT to help translate it into English. If something sounds a bit strange, that's probably why.

Thanks for understanding.
