Entombed
Hello! I really like Entombed and I have not come across many audiogames like it without microtransactions that I'll just say is unreasonable. I have two questions. 1. Are there any updates after entombed 1.2K?2. Is there a difference between 1.2k and the 1.2b test version?3. How do you get trade coins to buy stuff in the online shop? Oh! That's 3 questions.

Orca to behave like NVDA when reading web
When I hit CTLR+DOWN/UP arrow NVDA reads a paragraph or if it is not a paragraph (button, checkbox, label or some other sort of element) it still announces it in its' own line if "Use screen layout" is off, so this way I read forums, articles tutorials, documentation etc. But can't find similar way of reading things with Orca. I read docs and found the way to read character by character, word by word, line by line, paragraph by paragraph and last thing - up/down arrow k... [read more]

a request regarding the accessibility of peach clicker
Hello, Last year the game peach clicker was released on steam. Because I'm obsessed with peaches recently, I decided to ask the devs if they could make the game accessible, because it was made in unity so the accessibility plugin could work. I've opened a ticket on their discord and one of them got back to me, saying they have tried to implement it but that didn't work. He told me there is a discrepancy with how the plugin works and the clicker genre. Sadly They didn&#... [read more]

Home Menu On Citra
Hey guys!I am posting this topic here because I do not know if it is allowed to say this in the General Games Forum.In the end, I registered my 3DS keys on Emulator Citra and wanted to understand how do I activate the Home menu, since whenever I click to start the program displays an error message that the ROM I'm using is incompatible, even though I run a .3DS ROM.I know this emulator is already down, but I'm curious to know how it works.

Those of you who MUD on Mac, any advice?
I had one of the users on this forum somewhere, and I can't quite remember who, reccommended something called Mudrammer. This seems to work for sure, but the issue that I'm having, is that it seems to only be reading about one line at a time on my VoiceOver. So in order to read the entire output, I have to navigate up tot he table, and view the text that way.Is there some way I can get it to read the entirety of the incoming messages without doing this? I'm not sure i... [read more]

ToyMania, my third standalone game.
Hello everyone! I just made the toy mania game a standalone project.I know this game may have been a part of my other main game cooky craze, but I decided to make it a Separate game entirely.

In this game, you must collect toys, find keys, and defeat enemies before being able to escape the st... [read more]

Some questions for Mac users
After my most recent windows laptop crapped out on me, I'm seriously considering buying a Mac because I have an Apple giftcard lying around. I'm curious about a few things, though. My only Mac experience is from almost a decade ago and I'm wondering how much some things have changed.Word processing and productivity: a decade ago it was hell to try and do any sort of complex formatting on Mac. I remember footnotes being a major pain, getting voice over to announce bold... [read more]

Has anyone used Soundly?
Hi, I felt tired and discouraged while searching for royalty-free sounds for my project. The websites I visited were clunky and made finding sounds difficult. When I found a sound that seemed interesting, I had to click on it, locate the "Play" button, listen to it, and only if I liked it could I download it, load it into my DAW, and edit it. With Soundly, the process is different. I press CTRL+F, type what I want, hit Enter, then use Shift + Tab and the a... [read more]
