We’re on it!

The best neurodivergent inclusion can be kinda invisible. It’s going somewhere and seamlessly being able to use my AAC. It’s being given time to process options, or make a decision. It’s spaces with careful lighting + noise design. Solving little day to day barriers so everyone can thrive :)

Turning 39 today. Surviving the games industry, caffeine dependency, so if you feel like upgrading my inventory with a small birthday buff, my ko-fi’s open ko-fi.com/nazihfares

Happy birthday to the Microsoft Kinect, a device I dearly hope to never write about again. For @theverge.com, I recounted the history of its hacking and the echoes of an older, now unreachable, internet that resound in its story. Also, AI, because… 2025.

Have a good week 💗

Really proud of the team for this update!

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula

On Saints Row we had a debug npc named Skinballs (lol) that was literally just four spheres wrapped in different shades of skin texture so we could test lighting for different skin tones during development. But teams need to plan for that kind of testing with intentionality, and not enough do.

How I met your father

How I met your father

As a person who cannot travel and meet people face to face, it feels painful to hear things like “you can never really know someone if you haven’t met them” or “you can’t be friends with someone who you haven’t met IRL”. I have friends that are very close and been that for years despite —

I met this guy and he said nothing

Every game I make had one big Sacrifice and one big Insanity. October Panic's sacrifice is that you can't save and have to play it in one session. It's insanity is that its five levels are absolutely packed with unique enemy types, movie references and halloween party goodness! #halloween

October Panic is now only 0,99€ on Steam!! 🎃 Super cute, hella challenging but so much fun, go go go grab it!!! store.steampowered.com/app/3165420/... #IndieGame #IndieDev

For a report for Access Granted, I'm looking to speak with accessibility consultants who HAVEN'T been credited for the games they've worked on. I'm aware of this impacting future opportunities, so I can assure anonymity. Feel free to send me a message if you wish to speak about your experiences!

I’m so proud of you.

Back at @theverge.com to point out that, cool as the suite of accessibility options in Kirby Air Riders is, suggestions floating around that this might be a turning point for Nintendo on accessibility are not only premature but ignore the weight of recent history – which is significant.

We got to sit down and chat with @stevesaylor.net, a Blind accessibility consultant who's worked on The Last of Us Part II, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Call of Duty, and more! Steve shares candid insights about the industry, games accessibility, and his amazing TTRPG show, @dndisableds.com!

I’m so proud of you.

I’ve worked on 5 AAA games that I can’t still talk about, and I’m sure 4 of them haven’t credited me. One is still uncertain. (All those consultations lasted over 6-7 months, if someone is curious)

Not all disabilities are visible. In my case, they include eg chronic heart condition with pacemaker, autism, hEDS & dysautonomia. Most of the time you might not notice anything because I’ve learned to mask, to pretend I’m okay, or maybe I’m genuinely having a better day or moment. It varies a lot!

It's Invisible Disabilities Week 🫶🏽 Not all disabilities are visible and that doesn't make them any less real. Chronic pain, mental health conditions, neurological disorders, autoimmune diseases & more deserve awareness, respect, and understanding ✨

Also, you don’t always have to “understand” art. Just view it. Experience it. Explore it. Let art meet you and move you if it happens to have that impact. If not — still an experience.

Pssst! 👀 Are you a disabled content creator OR a creator passionate about accessibility? DM us! We’re working on something new and exciting at AbleToPlay to help inclusive creators grow their audiences and connect with game studios and publishers for sponsorships. Reposts appreciated!
