Accessibility and Graphic Design (Mork Borg) with Marc Muszynski
About this episode
It’s a bonus between-seasons Dice Exploder! Wowie!
As promised back in my episode with Gem Room Games about Mork Borg, today I’m talking about accessibility in game design using Mork Borg’s graphic design as an example. My cohost is Marc Muszynski, a friend and screenwriter with low vision, and we talk in detail about his experience with Mork Borg. Is this game, with all its important and loud art, accessible to people who can’t see? Like with most accessibility questions, It’s Complicated™!
