One of our greatest joys as a charity is enabling human connection, and this #ValentinesDay we want to share with you how we were able to do this in a big way for Mark, helping him to take part in his best friend’s wedding! www.specialeffect.org.uk/news/thank-y...

switchgaming.blogspot.com/2025/12/joys... Fun little adapted Megalodon Monster Truck for single joystick access. Uses an OAK compact joystick (github.com/makersmaking...) and a bit of simple hackery. @tjfentie.bsky.social

Dans la série "gaming avec une seule main" Il est possible d'intégrer des sorties jack 3.5 sur la manette et ainsi déporter certaines commandes aux pieds.

2026 is going to be that year. I've mentally established this foresight, so now it's time to physically manifest. We're continuing our sweaty games using adaptive controllers, our quest to bring accessibility to the TCG community, and maybe we'll knock out some side quests...

Been doing a bit more tinkering on this. Does anyone have any accessibility data examples not listed here? Perhaps usage data from your own game that you haven't shared yet? ian-hamilton.com/game-accessi... #gamedev #indiedev

Otto's Basketball Game, version 1.0.0, is now done :--) The game is freeware, and you can play it on (or download it from) Itchio. ottoojala.itch.io/ottos-basket... It's a simple one-button basketball game with lots of silly details and a good kind of homemade feel to it. #godot #solodev #gamedev

Accessibility Tags on Video Game Boxes - Access-Ability If you buy a Digital game on PlayStation, Xbox, or Steam you can find out what accessibility features it supports. Could we bring those tags to physical games? Text: access-ability.uk/2025/11/28/a... Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PASB...

It’s your last chance to vote for SpecialEffect in Riot’s Charity Voting Campaign! Your vote will allow us to provide entirely free, lifelong, support for more physically disabled gamers like Ceyda, enabling inclusion and fun! Please vote for us and share today: charityvote.riotgames.com

YOU CAN NOW BUTTON REMAP the Game Boy and NES app on the Switch and Switch 2 👏 In the newest update to the system we have got access to button remapping via the overlay menu when in-game ❤️ This is a huge step forward for Nintendo, and makes retro game accessible for a whole new generation!

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

Consider joining the 5th annual game jam dedicated to blind accessibility starting this feb! If you can't participate, you can help by sharing, or just reading the page and giving feedback! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns based on reading the page! itch.io/jam/games-fo... #a11y

Very sad to see QEF and MERU are winding down: www.merushop.org - 90 years of Disability services for QEF. They did some brilliant work.

I'm breaking down what each of the games nominated in the "Innovation in Accessibility" category for #TheGameAwards had in terms of pushing accessibility forward. Today is all about @doom.com DOOM: The Dark Ages youtu.be/zUV8NU6q980

Otto's Basketball Game's v0.9 is now playable on Itchio! Help me get this to a v1.0 by giving it a try and leaving a comment here on Bsky (reply or dm) or on Itch! ottoojala.itch.io/ottos-basket... I made hours' worth of last minute changes, so hopefully I didn't totally break it :--) #gamedev

You'll get to play version 0.9 of Otto's Basketball Game (yes, that's what I'm calling it...) tomorrow! I'm still adding a few details, but the game is close to being done. And no, there's no more to the game than what you see in the video - it's just about pressing one button and scoring points...

WIP, and just with placeholder text, but maybe something like this as the idle animation/statistics view? Any other stats I should keep track of? Bank shots perhaps?

It has been a long, long road finishing this project, but MORSE, my strategy game that teaches telegraphy, finally releases on Steam November 11th. To those who've waited, thank you for your patience. #hamradio #morsecode #gamedev #games #indiedev

switchgaming.blogspot.com/2025/10/univ... Some early universal communication symbol use in games. Captain Blood was something quite special from 1988. I wonder what others there have been.

Had to get this one out of my head

Very enjoyable one-button / one-switch game PinBol from the brilliant Sensory Apphouse: switchgaming.blogspot.com/2025/10/pinb...

Polished things up a bit for #ScreenshotSaturday ! This is my one-button basketball game side project - looking forward to finishing this in a week or two. Still lots of things missing, but this is what the game will mostly be like :--) #Godot3

Cool, Otto's Tennis game is now in the #PortMaster games catalogue :--) I made a special pixel perfect version of the game for these devices, and with proper gamepad controls. portmaster.games/detail.html?...

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.

Worrying from Sony... Are they about to kill off all alternative accessible input devices / wired controllers that are not officially approved? Will that be "Gaming that is accessible for all"?

Is anyone else having trouble with drift through the X1 port on the XAC after updating? I tried using a few of our 3.5 mm trrs joysticks (oak, spruce) and finding drift only in X1 port and not X2. There is no microcontroller or board between the joystick and trrs cable on the joysticks I have.

Ever wondered what it's like to have a Votrax Type 'N Talk hooked up to a BBC Micro via the RS423 port?
