I had the pleasure of interviewing @jarvdusa.bsky.social, Head of Communications at Happy Volcano on her path from drama teacher to community manager. 🎙️ Listen (or watch) here: featureupvote.com/thecommunity...

She’s also an award-winning accessibility advocate, recently recognised at Game Dev Heroes 2025 for her work championing disabled and neurodiverse representation in games.

More showcasing accessibility focus of upcoming games. What happens with difficulty in the game? It talks about it and shows it for players to know. 👌 #accessibility www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB_4...

It's #screenshotsaturday! I'm quite pleased I could still fit in some accessibility features in my bite-sized 🤏 #metroidvania. And of course, MIGW is happening and Microvania part of the Steam Event as well: tinyurl.com/yjec6mnd WL: tinyurl.com/pac9j3su #MIGW25 #indiegamedev #pixelart

Coming soon - GAConf Awards 2025! The panel have been hard at work on the shortlist, finalist annoucement & public vote are coming on Monday November 25th! www.gaconf.com/gaconf-award... #gamedev #indiedev #accessibility

I worked with a colorblind friend to improve the #accessibility of this puzzle. Waaaay better! The lesson is you should avoid be using color alone to signify a state change. Wishlist Shimmershoal: s.team/a/3637900 #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #indiegames #cozygames #jrpg #screenshotsaturday

happy #screenshotsaturday! this is "an unplayable game?!" my first solo game, and it released for FREE on itchio YESTERDAY!!! its a short platformer about accessibility settings, why theyre important, and how it feels to play a game thats inaccessible #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame

If I can't change control settings, my hands hurt from arthritis/EDS (they hurt A LOT this morning) If I can't adjust game volume of individual sound sources, I'll likely get overstimulated & miss important (but obvious to some) info, making me unable to complete puzzles that seem easy 🧵(2/4)

If I can't resize the window or text, I can't even read what's happening! Partially because my eyes are terrible, but also I have a 70 inch monitor, so things are TINY when not full screen and HUGE when full screen. 🧵(3/4)

Vaguely-friendly reminder that when I complain about a game lacking accessibility settings, it's not because I'm a whiny little bitch who needs everything to be easy... It's cuz I'm literally fucking disabled. 🧵(1/4) #disabled #gamer #vtuberswithdisabilities #disability #accessibility #indiegame

I cannot...*ahem* STRESS enough how cool this accessibility setting in Lumines Arise is for anyone who gets a little too much anxiety in a block-dropping puzzle game, and just wants to enjoy the vibes. You can tune it to your liking!

@illegallysighted.bsky.social Hey, check your DMs :)

Man I would love to be on the panel for this one day! #accessibility #gaming

We're so excited to announce we won the category for Diversity In Games at the TIGA Games Industry Awards last night! We cannot thank our community enough for all your support on our cosy little Trash Goblin & we're proud to help make gaming more diverse. 💚

Accessibility settings don’t ruin games. They make sure more people get to enjoy them. That’s it.

We were glad to join the GAIN panel in Guildford to discuss Accessibility in Games!

In his latest review, Josh looks at what Supergiant Games achieved with Hades II. He found some changes might introduce new barriers, but overall the accessibility improved. Especially thanks to remapping and the adjustable god mode. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/05/h...

LEGO Party! from @smgstudio.bsky.social letting you filter which minigames to include in the playlist based on accessibility barriers #gamedev #accessibility

..and a mod just landed that makes the game fully blind accessible ☺️ forum.audiogames.net/post/933149/...

This is excellent!! Makes me wish we could have had this for Pokémon Stadium... my memory issues meant I ALWAYS failed at the Clefairy Says! 😭

@p0ppyfield.com Hey, you have DMs :)

Norges Beste Gamer is showing that gamers come in all shape, sized and accessibility needs 🦾 And playing with a different controller doesn't make you any less of a gamer, but if you want to be the BEST, you got to master them all! Thank you so much for agreeing to this!

Free UK game accessibility conference coming up in a few weeks! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ucl-access... #gamedev #accessibility

Started adding some colourblind support to the game today. Still have a long way to go with accessibility features but its a start. The beta is in two weeks! You can sign up here: subscribepage.io/C1erpq #indiegame #gamedev

A short and sweet game, that presents the player with just a few bits of intentional friction. It provokes the audience into engaging differently with a platformer and its accessibility settings. Worthwhile and well-considered little diversion

If you are showing something at the Game Awards, please please please make sure your accessibility teams review any video assets queued up for photosensitive triggers and appropriately-sized subtitles, pls & thank u 🥹🙏🏻

Games for Blind Gamers 5 starts Feb 2026! Our community supports developers in making games accessible through planning and research. Join the jam and the challenge! itch.io/jam/games-fo... #GameJam #GameDev #Accessibility #BlindGaming #IndieDev #AudioGames #A11y

Happy Halloween! 🎃 We've compiled some of our favourite accessibility features in horror games to prove that we don't need to forgo accessibility to achieve a killer atmosphere. Want to discover new ways to bring accessibility into your games? Learn more at www.playerresearch.com/what-we-do/a...

There's also a video about their accessibility youtube.com/shorts/uhHjI... I'm not being paid for this, I just think people should know about accessible VR Games. Because VR could be an incredible gaming experience for disabled people, but we're often shut out by inaccessibility.

Live now with a frightfully interesting #RNIB stream featuring a couple of accessible horror games, starting with Heartbeat: Regret! Twitch and youTube are SightlessKombat if you want to join and say hi! #Accessibility #A11Y

the yellow paint discourse mill has begun to spin again and i feel the need to share my sage knowledge of the subject personally i think accessibility in games is good, and getting gamers to look up is hard. sometimes it's good to know the cool thing i can do is there actually. idk man

Too many gamers are weird about accessibility options in games just because they personally don’t need them.

Yes!! If your game is going to be localized and you have text displayed in game on assets - IE posters, objects - make sure that it can easily be swapped with localized content. Likewise, make sure your puzzles aren't only solvable with colors or audio clues for accessibility reasons.

I have myopia (near sightedness) so I have to wear glasses to play video games. I love the yellow paint guides. I really don't like ppl who get mad over accessibility and difficulty in gaming. Why don't you want everyone else to enjoy the game too? Everyone deserves to enjoy games no matter what

Seeing someone's process, inspiration & journey is a real treat. Perfect illustration of how people working in accessibility are always learning from each other and celebrating each other's successes!  www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2BX... www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS4C... www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1ub...

Nintendo Direct for Kirby Air Riders had Masahiro Sakurai presenting a whole section on accessibility, inc saying motion sickness was a personal priority for him & giving specific instructions on which buttons to remap for onehanded play. Nice! youtube.com/live/_ZHYjYHHiBM?si=qEopE0J_Mz5IYa7z&t=4914

At Game Sound Con! Come check out my talk this afternoon at 3:25 on the music of the Hellblade games, and then tomorrow on my birthday I'll be participating in a great panel on Game Audio and Accessibility. Come say hi!

This is me, I'm only able to use a left-handed trackball with no scroll wheel or middle button.
