Wonder Wheels?

My name is Amber I am 35, and I have been a gamer since the days of Atari 2600. Well, at least on the inside. See, I have a disability known as cerebral palsy, and once they invented the thumb pad controllers, I was kind of screwed because I don't have fine motor control of my fingers. So now I play mostly on the computer, but I can't really play all the cool games everybody loves, because I die too quickly. I have safe with the turn base

d things. Sigh.

But I found this place today and was so excited. I have had this idea for a game my whole life, but never the ability to create by myself. What about a protagonist/hero in a power wheelchair like myself? It could be first or third person, but in order for disabled players to be able to play, it would need to be turn-based fighting. But you could have power ups for your wheelchair, shields, weapons, etc. And a customizable service dog as a pet. I have many more ideas if anyone is actually interested in trying to create this. This would be amazing for me, as when I was younger, I saw very few positive representations of myself in the media in general. And none in video games. And I'm sure a lot of people in this segment of society would feel the same way. Does anyone think it's a viable idea?

    My Dragon NaturallySpeaking made some errors that I did not notice at first because they are word errors, not spelling errors. "I have safe with the turn-based of things. Sigh." Is supposed to say "I have to stick with the turn-based offerings. Sigh." Because I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking and it makes these kind of errors sometimes, just ask me if something you read does not make sense.

    Hi Amber!

    I think it sounds like a really fun idea. One idea I've always toyed with was Stephen Hawking as a game avatar. But, anyway, I think this could be a really cool idea. I wonder how it could fit into Puzzle Clubhouse?
