Posted July 17

Hi, everyone! My name is Kayla (or K as deemed my title at work by my coworkers and the kids I work with). I am a youth care worker and looking to hone in my ASL skills. I have a basic understanding of ASL. I love sign language due to how expressive it is, and I have a cousin who was born Deaf. I want to strengthen my skills in order to communicate with him better. In doing so, I will be able to commincate with anyone in the Deaf community and understand what is being said to me.

Nice to meet you all!

- Looking For Friendly Humans to give Feedback on ASL Dialogue Lines in a Video Game Project

  Hi everyone! My name is Zein, I'm hearing and are working with a few other people on a sci-fi action-platformer VR game that features a deaf main NPC that uses ASL to communicate with the player. The player can sometimes respond with single-word answers by picking up a word bubble that changes the hand shape and then making the corresponding gesture (e.g. pick up the fist for YES, then tilt the controller up and down) I am currently learning signing myself and I'm reaching out to communities to get feedback for authenticity and inclusion. I have some dialogue lines for the character but it would help a lot to get feedback, because I'm sure, a lot of lines / signs, are currently weird or out of place. I already got feedback from a discord community for the first line. I can share this here so you can get a better picture. Randy: Oh my God! There was an earthquake at the excavation site, and some sort of lightning storm. I'm not sure... are you okay? ASL: WOAH! Earthquake there mining place do-do. Loud lightning! Why no-idea. You alright you (eyebrows up)? Here's me trying it myself but it will be hand-animated once it gets into the game. Would anybody be intereseted/willing to give their input and feedback? I would share more of Randy's lines here to improve, fix, or correct them. It would be a great help! Thank you for your time, Zein
