Voting closes tonight, last chance to decide the winners of the GAConf accessibility awards! Voting form and finalists' info here - www.gaconf.com/gaconf-award... #gamedev #indiedev #accessibility

@gaconf.bsky.social Pls share -I am a special education teacher. I have launched an Inclusive Video Game Cafe. Some students face mobility challenges and can only participate using adaptive switches, which facilitate movements or actions within the game. www.donorschoose.org/project/incl...

in addition to all this stuff, I've recently added: - an alternate font to help with visual readability, and... - a specific sound toggle for sound sensitivity! I'm really committed to improving playability, so if you had any concerns regarding readability or sound, i hope this helps you out!

Time to vote, y’all! Let’s celebrate gaming accessibility together! www.gaconf.com/gaconf-award...

This has been a great year for innovative resources in accessibility. If you’ve enjoyed seeing AbleToPlay come to life this year and are excited about the future, please consider voting for us! 🙏🏽

I'm deeply honored that I am once again nominated for the Best Journalism Award for GA Conf! Especially honored that the story chosen was my AbleGamers report, a difficult investigative piece. Feel free to vote below, as well as read the nominated story: www.ign.com/articles/for...

Very proud that the studio I work for is nominated 2 years in a row! And @ubisoft.com once again for most dedicated publisher! And Outlaws again, for the accessibility updates we released after launch!

This is such a huge honor to be recognized for my work and the work of my colleagues on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle & DOOM the Dark Ages! Now I get to spend my first few hours of vacation making sure my dev teams know about the 10 nominations we received. ❤️

Huge congratulations to every single developer, consultant and team member in the nominees. I hope you’re all incredibly proud! It’s great to see my boss, Tülay, nominated for the incredible work she does and the Stumble team for their wheelchair cosmetic. 🖤 And to my old family on Atomfall 🍻🖤

OK prepare for the quote-pocalypse because EA have had a good year!

So proud of the EA Sports FC 26 team for this nomination! A lot of hard work by many people went into getting the High Contrast mode into the game on a relatively short turnaround, and ensuring it is available in all modes! Well done FC!

I am beyond happy to see both @wildebrut89.bsky.social and Paul nominated for their incredible work with FC's accessibility!!! They've really knocked it out of the park this year, so really glad to see those efforts being recognized! ❤️

What a great list of games showcasing incredible achievements in Physical/mobility Accessibility! Shoutout to Dice/Criterion/Motive/Ripple Effect for their work on Battlefield 6, ensuring a large amount of flexibility for control inputs.

Great news to see two EA games nominated in this category. Shoutout to @bobmorate.bsky.social for his tireless work supporting F1 driving audio assists!

And more nominations! F1 25 has also been selected as a finalist for their audio driving assists feature included this year! Super proud of the work the team has put into this feature and how many players it has helped ❤️

Super excited to see FC make this shortlist against so many great communications and marketing campaigns ❤️

IRIS is a great resource for anyone looking to ensure their game does not reach dangerous levels of photosensitivity triggering behaviour. Great to see the latest update being recognised.

And more! Besides of the incredible work the FC team has put into the high-contrast mode in competitive gaming (it being a first!), I love to see representation of the work the Madrid team has put into developing the IRIS tool and its plugin to detect potential photosensitivity risks!

EA is in great company. Thank you @gaconf.bsky.social for the nomination!

Proud and a little bit bashful to be included on a list among so many great people. Shoutout to Paul Parsons for being such a great advocate for accessibility in FC 26!

WHAT

Wow, I can't believe I am nominated along such amazing advocates I admire and respect so much. It is an honor! And 2nd time? 🥲 I found my calling 7 years ago and I'll continue as long as I can. Our will for a more accessible gaming space is unbreakable. Vote link in quoted post. #Accessibility

Seeing my work nominated is so unreal. The list contains excellent fellow writers and friends, whose work has always inspired me. The privilege of being amongst such titans is already a win for me. Public vote link in quoted post or directly here www.gaconf.com/gaconf-award... #Accessibility

Every update to @seaofthieves.com is a chance to include more pirates! Wonderful to be alongside other phenomenal improvements - the stronger the competition, the more all players can enjoy themselves. Looking forwards to the results! #accessibility

so... i'm in this?? or specifically, my game is! "an unplayable game" is my first solo game + it came out last month, so its SO surreal to see it nominated for ANYTHING, especially considering how incredible the other nominees are thank you to #GAConf for the nomination, this is such a huge honor!

Vote Vote Vote! 🗳️ Just found out that I'm nominated for the #GAConf Awards 2025 - In 3 categories!! - Indie excellence - Mental health accessibility - Aaaand most dedicated studio, together with freaking childhood heroes Rare and id Software Public votes are open here:

I really loved the physical accessibility options in Trash Goblin; it made the game wholly enjoyable as someone with limited use of one hand. Having to not constantly slam a button for a mechanic was a game-changer!

For the third year in a row I have the absolute honor to be mentioned next to these incredible people in our industry, who use all their time to make the future of gaming accessible! These are people working tirelessly to make sure you can enjoy the best hobby on earth! ❤️
