Hey #indiedev! There are still a few days left to get your entries in, especially for the 'NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT IN ACCESSIBILITY' category 😁

@gamemakerstoolkit.com dropped you a DM ☺️

GAconf kicks off a week today! 🎉 Two days of talks & networking, celebrating & learning from advances in the field of game accessibility. Sept 29th-30th, in-person in Redmond, free to attend online. Have you got your ticket yet? registration & info at gaconf.com! #gamedev #indiedev #a11y

I want to make this clear, if I had been paying more attention to the Silent Hill f release date, @gaconf.bsky.social would have been later 😭

Games completed 2025 47. Prince of Persia The Lost Crown #Android A beautiful game with epic boss battles and amazing cutscenes peppered with frustrating platforming and puzzle sections with crazy difficulty spikes. If it wasn't for the difficulty and accessibility options I probably wouldn't

Same can be said about accessibility. Often I've heard of the fear of getting it perfect and if it's not then disabled players will be upset. But I often say try to make it as best as you can and then iterate on it in the future so you can get it right. You can't learn unless you try.

🇬🇧 🎮 Achievement unlocked: making your video game accessible Noëlie Roux & Yasmine Messaoudi open gaming to everyone! 🌟 400 million disabled gamers = huge opportunity ♿ Design philosophy that improves experience for ALL

In case you didn’t know, I 3d print and donate parts to help disabled gamers be able to play. I run it all through www.thecontrollerproject.com if you want to learn more. This was this weeks shipments!

It's obvious a lot of thought has gone into assembling these GAME Kits, and it was a joy to get to review one as someone quite literally across the globe from their target market, which is Canada. A huge thank you to @makersmakingchange.bsky.social, and @tjfentie.bsky.social for reaching out to me.

Thank you for reviewing the GAME Kit!

Amazing! I’m a huge fan of @makersmakingchange.bsky.social and you should be too.

The GAME Kit is a set of adaptive gaming essentials by @makersmakingchange.bsky.social. Marijn received a kit with assistive switches and adaptive joysticks for review. While only available in Canada, makers and organizations worldwide can take inspiration from it. caniplaythat.com/2025/09/18/m...

COOL as all heck!!

GAConf is in two weeks! Have you got your ticket yet? Two day dev conference on game accessibility, in-person event in Redmond, and free to attend online! Full lineup and registration at www.gaconf.com #gamedev #indiedev #accessibility

Timely reminder (for full explanation see youtu.be/sPehhHZvKE8) #gamedev #indiedev #accessibility

Interesting post spotted on Reddit. Text size too small continues to be a loud drum most developers are ignoring. #accessibility

The talk lineup for GAConf US is up! Honestly can’t recommend this conference enough, regardless of how new or seasoned you are with games accessibility. If you can go in person the value of meeting a11y folk can’t be understated. And I believe they offer free tickets if you’ve been laid off.

And I think the topic of accessibility won't truly be discussed until people manage to excise their ego from the conversation and address the topic of how the intended experience cannot be achieved by some people who struggle with specific issues rather than their own disaste for what the game is.

Full Indie Summit was excellent and I really appreciated hearing new ideas shared with enthusiasm and optimism for the future. Congrats & thank you to the organizers 👏🏻

🎮The games industry is full of people driving accessibility. 🏆The Scope Awards are open & I'd love to see us represented. ♿Nominate one of the many brilliant champions making games & workplaces more inclusive: 🔗 www.scope.org.uk/awards

It's actually a great accessibility feature for me as someone who is partially deaf. I often turn off main game volume as it feels white noisy. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers put the important sound effects in the controller and it helped out so much.

I wish more people realized difficulty settings are also accessibility settings for some disabilities. I'm autistic and there are games I've played where I repeatedly die to the same enemies over and over and have been close to and actually have had meltdowns due to being too overwhelmed.

Surprise! One more speaker announcement 📢 @tabbyrose.bsky.social will be sharing all of @mightyyell.bsky.social's VR accessibility learnings from the development of Knight In The Attic! Sept 29th - 30th, registration & line-up at gaconf.com #gamedev #indiedev

In our audio-game 𝘉𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦, we put a large effort in recognizing surface types (grass, bushes, rivers) from sound. With the help of @rainlefever.bsky.social, our main character Liora now narrates the surface that she walks on! #gamedev #godot #audio #accessibility #voiceacting #game #gameaudio

Working with a child with misophonia recently and I can’t wait to learn how we can include games too😍 PS: from low vision, hearing, to ADHD and many more, I’ve always told the husband that in another life (if I’m not an SLT), I’d like to be a game developer working to make games more accessible ✨

Speaker announcement📢 The full lineup for GAConf USA 2025 is now online, including lots of previously unannounced talks - from FC26 to the Nhuad controller, from AbleToPlay to South of Midnight! gaconf.com/schedule Sept 29th - 30th, registration at gaconf.com #gamedev #indiedev

Excited to share that I will be attending!

The Game Accessibility Conference is one of the highlight game conferences each year and I can't wait to (virtually) attend!

The lineup of speakers and talks for this year's US edition of @gaconf.bsky.social was revealed today. Take a look at what the hybrid event has in store on September 29 and 30 in Redmond and online. caniplaythat.com/2025/09/05/l...

every time a game comes out and people mod it to make it easier, accessibility advocates have to watch “gamer pros” argue how people need to just get good at games and don’t deserve to play games if they can’t just play them at their OG difficulty and I just want to say BAD TAKE

Celebrate with us! Our biggest @officialpax.bsky.social Family Gaming Room: 🕹️ 100s PS5/Xbox/Switch games ♿ Accessible Tech from Respawn 🔥 Games from @wholesomegames.com 🎯 Parental controls and @esrb.org explainer sessions ✏️ So many Guestbook comments www.familygamingdatabase.com/search/list/...

My favorite games industry conference! So happy that @abletoplay.com is there too.

SO excited for GAConf, and honored to be a part of it!

We’ll be doing a talk about Squeakross!
