Love seeing shared posts of disabled developers making games using their own viewpoint to shape gameplay and design. This one incorporates ASL into the world. It will be interesting how it turns out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jus...

Good morning!

International Dog Day. Wobble-Dog a.k.a Luna. Many Dogs?

International Cat Day! Show us your kittens.

Honestly, I was disgusted to learn my Junior's true nature and views. But he can grow and learn better ways. #ProudBoss

The recorded version of the Many Cats team chat from Impact Day is available for those that missed it or would like to listen again. #DisabilityPrideMonth #accessibility youtu.be/PkdS-64N6Y0?...

Am I allowed to make this the company song? youtu.be/sP4NMoJcFd4?...

Needs to be hotter 🤌

Watch my Impact Day talk where I chat about securing a junior programmer role from bootcamps, internships and mentoring to failures and redundancies Forever thankful for @manycatsstudios.bsky.social 👇👇 youtu.be/XQK9Y-xtT6M?...

In case you missed it yesterday I gave a talk for @manycatsstudios.bsky.social Impact Day to celebrate #DisabiltyPrideMonth. My talk is about being the change I wanted to see. youtu.be/Mtmi6U6Ryq0?...

A plan that doesn't come together? @holliepage.bsky.social talk reaffirms the neurodivergent resilience and getting the right people to understand you and your needs creates a better experience at work to develop. #ImpactDay

It was clear how strong an advocate of others @jarvdusa.bsky.social was from their talk. Be the meaningful change if its not there. #ImpactDay

Kathryn is the person to advocate for disabled and neurodivergent voices in voice acting. Against all the challenges she has a disabled person she knows the education you have to bring to others and why being the 'wildcard' helps you stand out. #ImpactDay

Not only does @shazshanghari.bsky.social have the coolest set-up, but they were so good at expressing the challenges and joy of discovering themselves in their early career. It really helped shape them for their career today. #ImpactDay

Thank you to @gaconf.bsky.social for teaching us the importance of a food legacy at a conference. You have the Legend of the Battenberg. We bring you the Fable of The Yorkshire Pudding. #ImpactDay

Thank you to Sky of @safeinourworld.org for doing the amazing talk on resilience, disability and self-advocacy! So many attendees really loved that you taught them about understanding themselves. #ImpactDay

Eagle Eyed viewers will have noticed DJ's work history behind him with OlliOlli World and Rollerdrome posters. He spoke so well on a lot of shared experiences of neurodivergent folk going through diagnosis and understanding. Check out the QAuDHD podcast he does! #ImpactDay

Mikey did a great way to hook the interest of developers. Style his talk as a game! Clever man. #ImpactDay

Mikey talking about inclusivity in studios means you get amazing talent. Not set up for disabled staff? You lost out on valuable workers and creativity. #ImpactDay

Great opening talk from Jade Fern-Gadd. Her top tips: 1 - Seek and use help 2 - Be a Bother 3 - Plan Ahead She will have an amazing studio with Medieval Snail. #ImpactDay

Jade is an amazing speaker for the disabled experience shaping inclusive studios. #ImpactDay

A day full of great disabled speakers, the chat is already filling up with some recognised names and faces! ❤️💛🖤

Impact Day is now Live! Come join us on Discord to watch. All talks will be on YouTube after the event.

Last Announcement for Impact Day! We are bringing a Live 'Fireside Chat' as a team, to chat how we came together and work together to provide accessibility services to projects ranging from Indie to AAA. Catch the time at the end of the day, it will be a good one. 😸 #ImpactDay

Lunch has been lunched! And now we're back and learning all about post-launch community management with the absolute legend that is @jarvdusa.bsky.social #ImpactIndies

Was great to talk about this topic and I'm interested to see how things work out at launch.

Impact member @sightlesskombat.bsky.social chatting about the Switch 2 and what it could mean for accessibility on launch. Interesting stuff!

I believe it's essential to find anchors of wonder and positivity to build and innovate forward, so for Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2025, I want to share with you all some of the wonderful things I've seen in the last 5 months that make me excited about working in games accessibility! #GAAD

This year Impact are bringing you a digital conference 'Impact Day'! Hear from disabled and neurodivergent individuals in professional games industry roles and network with our disabled community. Thanks to @kepler-interactive.bsky.social for supporting this year's Impact. #disability #GAAD

Every day I feel more and more lucky to work at @manycatsstudios.bsky.social where not only am I working with other amazing folks on the team, I get to work directly in co-dev with studios as an equal, and there is honesty, growth and accountability at the core of it all.

We are always happy to support an amazing event. Especially if it makes it more accessible to everyone! Are you excited for the showcase like us?

There is no substitute for the feeling that I've had over the last few days, to be finally in the role I was meant to be doing, with the people I was meant to be doing it with 😍
