Hearthstone Access. Helping blind and visually impaired people enjoy video games.

Here's something I've been working on to promote a #HearthstoneAccess community project: https://t.co/VvaSKXuBbj

Note that this is not a long-term solution, but a potential (Blizzard-approved) workaround while the Hearthstone team implement accessibility natively.

Happy to hear and very much looking forward to seeing it come to life. Feel free to reach out if you ever need my help.

[GuideDev @guide_dev]

Thanks for the support everyone. I have a lot of messages to go through but yesterday turned out to be a very tough day and I'm still processing everything.

Probably not what you were waiting for, but here's an important update regarding #HearthstoneAccess: https://t.co/yHV3kOgFSp

#HearthstoneAccess is back. Have fun!

[GuideDev @guide_dev]

@ianhamilton_ I've never really thought about it due to the whole anonymous online persona thing and all, but I'd be willing to give it a try if I could do it remotely and if you think people would benefit from it

Here's something I've been writing for the past few months: https://t.co/y9mH8aGLkT

It turned out to be a bit of an extensive read, but I did my best to keep it as simple as possible.

Hope it helps understand the effort behind keeping #HearthstoneAccess up and running.

Been working on this for a while and excited that it's finally out for people to read.
Very grateful that I got the opportunity to speak to so many wonderful people in the Hearthstone Access community while writing this feature for @Eurogamer.

Hey everyone. I'm back now and so is #HearthstoneAccess!

I noticed I have a bunch of notifications, emails and messages to go through, but figured getting the game up in time for the weekend would be a better use of my time.

Have fun!

[GuideDev @guide_dev]

Heads up #HearthstoneAccess players. I won't be around for the next few weeks which means I won't be able to keep the mod up and running when the patch lands on August 30. I'll do my best to pick things up when I'm back in mid September.

#HearthstoneAccess is back. Have fun!

@stirlock I'd love to do it but had to put new features and modes on hold indefinitely a while ago unfortunately. Keeping everything working is seriously time consuming as it is. New modes and features would only make it worse - not to mention the huge time investment upfront 🙁

#HearthstoneAccess is back. Have fun!

@TheBlindMan12V @Celestalon @PlayHearthstone My bad. Didn't run the social panel tests as my second laptop was out of battery and I couldn't find the charger so this slipped through the cracks 🙂 Thanks for the heads up - should be fixed once you run the patcher again

[GuideDev @guide_dev]

#HearthstoneAccess is back. Shout-out to @Celestalon and the @PlayHearthstone team for giving me a heads up on what changed so I could get this out in time for the weekend. Have fun!

#HearthstoneAccess is back. Have fun!

Quick update on #HearthstoneAccess: https://t.co/gcjfA4hpf3

[GuideDev @guide_dev]

The latest HS patch is quite complex and broke my normal (heavily automated) flow. I need to find a large (continuous) block of time to work on it, which is not something I can do during the workweek. This unfortunately means #HearthstoneAccess will take a while longer to be back

[GuideDev @guide_dev]

@alkali_layke @superblindman @joeweakland1027 @Divade011 @PlayHearthstone Oh, no worries. I'm not that active so I often miss things - as proven by the fact that I literally just noticed everything that went on yesterday (very busy week so couldn't jump on the home computer after work for a couple of days). Anyways, looking forward to the stream! 🙂

[GuideDev @guide_dev]

@james_malone93 I've been extremely busy lately so no plans at the moment beyond keeping the mod up to date unfortunately. They're on my list for a brighter day though

[GuideDev @guide_dev]

A new version of #Hearthstone Access has just been released. Battlegrounds is now fully accessible!

Have fun playing the first fully blind accessible auto battler - which also happens to be a great game 🙂
