This is legit amazing! The principles doc is great and super well-rounded. Love to see it.

This week we kick started an accessibility-first game jam with the University of Staffordshire. Central to the students’ game jam challenge is a focus on using our principles document produced specifically for the jam. These principles have now been made public! 👀 www.tencent.com/en-us/media/...

The best thing I’ve read today: ”Accessibility isn’t a spell you cast at the end of a sprint.” - @annaecook.com

It has been incredibly difficult to find games in Steam Next Fest that have accessibility tags. Devs PLEASE if you have a demo, and you might have some accessibility options, ADD ACCESSIBILITY TAGS! For now though AbleToPlay has a great curated list below of accessible demos to try.

Accessible games!? Yes please!

It's that time of the year again! It's Steam Next Fest! 🎮 We'll be sharing demos of games we're excited to play with amazing accessibility features until March 2nd! 🎉🎉 Share and repost to help shine a spotlight on these amazing games and their developers!

Glad I made time to add a #HardOfHearing mode. One of the clues is a quiet knocking behind the doors. This would have been an #accessibility problem for a lot of people. So I added a toggle that replaces the knocking with a visual effect. :) #inclusivegaming #ablegamers #gamedesign #BrackeysGameJam

A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

ah this is awesome

The developers behind one of our favorite super-accessible games, Lil' Guardsman, just announced their new game TODAY. We took an early sneak-peek and can confirm, we think it's *great*. Really excited for what's to come for this game!

Hey there! I'm writing an article about C-PTSD and puzzles. I would love to speak to creators who have C-PTSD and how puzzles (video-games, TTRPG, or physical ones) helped YOU navigate it. 🧡 Please DM or email me at [email protected] to get in touch!

We're stoked for another year of talks from our the accessible games community! We'll be tuning in to learn and support our peers. 🧡

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

We sat down with Ben “./yemáko” @badgameszip.itch.io, the creator of an unplayable game?!, to talk about the importance of accessibility, and how he approached designing a 15-minute game where turning on accessibility settings is required to, well… actually play the game. 😉🎮

Johannesburg’s Nyamakop Studios turns African artifact repatriation into a bold heist game. Protagonist Nomali and a crew of ordinary citizens reclaim 70 real-life artifacts taken during the colonial era. The 30-person dev team includes people from Zimbabwe, Ghana, Nigeria, Ethiopia and Tanzania.

"Every UI designer working today owes the Okudas. Myself included. I've been in UI/UX for over 30 years. I watched this entire trajectory unfold—from DOS terminals to VR. Michael and Denise contributed more to Apple's design language than any designer who ever cashed a check from Cupertino."

We sat down with @okomotive.ch, the developers behind the multi-nominated Herdling, to talk about their development journey and how they "herded" accessibility into the game! 🦬
