Oppidum has won the 'Best Accessibility' award at the 'Iris Games Awards' organized by Polo Digital Málaga! 🏆 It goes to anyone who has ever wanted to play a video game and felt like they were not made for it. Thanks to everyone who made it possible! It means the world to us. 💖

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!

I've been breaking down why each of the games in the "Innovation in Accessibility" category at #TheGameAwards deserved the nomination. Today is the last one focusing on EA FC 26! youtu.be/Lzd1MYLU_aE

The Plants vs Zombies: RePlanted team has been working hard on making this version stand out from the original, and one of those aspects is adding new accessibility features! Kudos to The Lost Pixels team, thrilled to see their advocacy and efforts pay off!

Update 1.4.0 for Plants vs. Zombies Replanted adds a high contrast mode to the game, as well as game speed options which can lower or increase the game's speed. Other accessibility improvements include a screenshake toggle and a Sun Vacuum feature. caniplaythat.com/2025/11/24/p...

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

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 ❤️

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!

If you are curious as to why the games in the "Innovation in Accessibility" category for #TheGameAwards was nominated, I'm breaking down each game and what it did for accessibility. Today's video is focusing on @assassinscreed.ubisoft.com Assassin's Creed Shadows youtu.be/lb-aSRkbrB4

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! ❤️

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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

La verdad es que da gusto ver. Ojo los equipos se implican con la accesibilidad, toman en serio tus sugerencias y van más allá de hacer un simple port. The Lost Pixels se lo ha currado y se merecen éxito ❤️

What a hard life eh

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

I'm breaking down the nominations for "Innovation in Accessibility" at @thegameawards.com. Yesterday I talked about Atomfall, today is @compulsiongames.bsky.social's South Of Midnight youtu.be/NrBcdAWBvFU

Over the next few days I'll be posting clips of my main video doing a breakdown of #TheGameAwards Accessibility category to help explain why each game was nominated. First up today is #Atomfall youtu.be/QB6gh77RwR4

If any press or media wants to talk about this to help give a more general idea to their gaming audience as to why these games deserve to be celebrated and what they did to innovate for accessibility, I'd love to talk about it with you. DMs/Email is open.

#TheGameAwards accessibility nominees are here! If you're curious as to what Assassin's Creed Shadows, DOOM, Atomfall, EA FC 26 & South of Midnight did to earn their spots, I have an extra large breakdown for you. youtu.be/mU-EiiPq3Io

tedious to see "the government don't actually believe in what they're doing, it's political strategy to neuter Reform" doing the rounds. it doesn't matter! if I stab you to impress some people watching, while assuring you that actually I like you and wish you no ill will, you've still been stabbed

Awards season is the best time of the year. So much blood sweat and tears goes on behind the scenes from so many people to make accessibility a reality, it always makes me so happy to see people publicly recognised for it.

Anyway, don’t forget to vote and check out this nice write up showcasing how each nominee championed innovation in accessibility!! (page is temporarily down, it’ll be back soon) thegameawards.com/nominees/inn...

To quote @wildebrut89.bsky.social, so many amazing people were involved in bringing the High Contrast Mode to life and ensuring it was available in competitive modes. If you’d like to learn more about the what & how for FC 26 accessibility, watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhtR...

FC 26 is nominated for the Innovation in Accessibility Award! Congrats to everyone at EA SPORTS for this major recognition. Ubisoft, Rebellion, Bethesda, and Compulsion are champions for accessibility, and to be amongst them is an honor. But real winners here are gamers with disabilities ♿️✨

Wooooo! The nominations for Innovation In Accessibility are in, and it is an amazing group of games. But biased as I am, fingers crossed for EA Sports FC 26. So many amazing people were involved in bringing the High Contrast Mode to life and ensuring it was available in competitive modes. 🤩

Congratulations to the nominees of the accessibility categories of this year's @indiegameawards.gg and @grandgameawards.bsky.social!

⚽ Congratulations on the nomination EA Sports FC! Fingers crossed for Dec 19th. There is a public vote element to these awards so be sure to check out the nominations and have your say in this and all the other categories!

I'm rooting for FC26! High contrast mode in a multiplayer game is a cornerstone for our industry and will hopefully pave the way for much more to follow. Congratulations for this well deserved nomination.

With yesterday's HUGE Valve news about new Steam Hardware, in today's video, I break down everything announced, plus my thoughts on the accessibility of these devices, where I speculate they might be accessible from day one. youtu.be/4morRkLCnD4

Xbox Controller Assist allows you to combine the inputs from two controllers, so that two people can play as one player in-game. Check out our GameAccess articles on Xbox Controller Assist on: Windows: gameaccess.info/xbox-control... Xbox: gameaccess.info/xbox-control...

Morning nap. Can't say I am not jealous tbh.

Screen Reader and text size support now on the PlayStation Portal!

If you are showing something at the Game Awards, please please please make sure your accessibility teams review any video assets queued up for photosensitive triggers and appropriately-sized subtitles, pls & thank u 🥹🙏🏻

Nintendo Direct for Kirby Air Riders had Masahiro Sakurai presenting a whole section on accessibility, inc saying motion sickness was a personal priority for him & giving specific instructions on which buttons to remap for onehanded play. Nice! youtube.com/live/_ZHYjYHHiBM?si=qEopE0J_Mz5IYa7z&t=4914

Train Sim World meets Need For Speed? SIGN ME UP.

Do this today, the nominations process is already underway! You can't win awards if judges don't know your game exists & what you did. This is a good way to ensure they do. Especially if you didn't already have huge market awareness & a big marketing budget. #gamedev #indiedev
