☀ 🎮 We’re giving away 2 free mini accessibility assessments to celebrate GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day) Foundation on May 16, 2024. 👉 In collaboration with our partners at Games Accessibility Hub, we’ll select and conduct a mini accessibility assessment of 2 video…
I have been REALLY struggling this week, ever since I came back home from GAconf ❤️ Some personal stuff, some work stuff, nothing I'm comfortable talk about. But after todays stream I'm going to bed smiling! Thanks for bringing joy to my world when I need it the most ✨
Hey, can you do me a favour and go give this episode a view? For some reason, it's been stuck on a very low view count than normal, and I don't know why.

@rpgoblin When my fingers give out. So keep the accessibility options coming cause I want to be able to keep playing my whole life.
Accessibility Update: The booth was so full yesterday that we didn’t manage to get a chance to set up the accessibility equipment until late in the day, but we’re all set up and ready to go this morning! 🎮

Another Crab's Treasure Accessibility Review: Access-Ability Proof that Dark Souls could have an easy mode without it breaking the intended tone. A beautifully accessible souls-like, with one dimly glaring issue. Text: access-ability.uk/2024/04/24/ano… Video: youtu.be/-OwKh-oqI4c

This week on Change Makers, it's all about accessibility! Hear from a Paralympian about her athletic career and accessible sports and a Professional Video Game Accessibility Consultant about how he helps make games accessible. bit.ly/3UxgkuD
Another Crab’s Treasure is already my favorite soulslike game. It’s nice to have a developer car about accessibility options for disabled gamers like myself. I can actually play and enjoy this game #AnoCrabsTreasure
@upwvideogame I would say the most important thing for me would be a wrestling game that is fully accessible for blind and low vision players. So blind and accessibility is what is important to me.
I’d like to refresh our list of podcast guests for The Game Informer Show. If you have a solid microphone, camera, and are free during weekday hours, drop me a reply below! No guarantees, of course, but it’s good to know. :)
we love accessibility in games ❤️🔫
@MylesOfGaming Of course not

Every soulslike game should have an accessibility option that gives your character a one shot kill pistol @AggroCrabGames
Ok so I haven't even started Stellar Blade yet, but I'm already loving what I'm seeing from the accessibility options. Really helps me actually see the game I'm playing.
Tales of Kenzera: ZAU launched this week, with accessibility information already available on EA's accessibility portal. Refreshingly it doesn't just tell us about options, and what's included by design, but it also tells us what limitations are present. caniplaythat.com/2024/04/25/tal…
I'm so far having A BLAST with Tales of Kenzera: ZAU @ZauTheGame. I will have my accessibility thoughts in a review soon. But for now, want to see how I play the game? I have the first two hours up on my second YouTube channel. youtu.be/VdUHtwedHek
Wow. I just looked at my LinkedIn and realized that I've done over eight years of video game accessibility consulting and advocacy... and looking back at all of the things I've done, I still don't feel like I've done enough. LOL😅
Hey Xbox, did you know that you can use the new technical features filters in my games & apps to find games that support touch controls while in Remote Play from a touch device? Other new filter categories include accessibility features and available languages.

@ianhamilton_ @SleepySavior @TheMobOtter I‘ll just blame English not being my first language 😅
@ianhamilton_ @7Green7Guy7 @ZekkoFin @SilverAyaji When you first replied I thought maybe you were another Twitter random but checking your profile and blog it's pretty awesome what you do just wanted to say
@ianhamilton_ @SleepySavior @TheMobOtter Thank you for correcting me. I admittedly assumed this out of a place of hoping that it would be easier to have some kind of influence on a topic as important as accessibility

@KGLordofhollows @rad_crew @GenePark I’m not ignoring it. I’m happily in the camp that good game design has accessibility considered from the beginning of the project. I’m in favour of difficulty and accessibility options. More people experiencing these stories, worlds and gameplay designs is a good thing.
@TheMobOtter @mweis200 @ChuBeatle Oh my. You know absolutely nothing about game development. Lol
@TheMobOtter @ChuBeatle Ah there we go. You don’t do even the slightest bit of research before you decide to be angry about things. And that, my friend, is why you are mocked. Keep crying :)
I lost my headphones sometime during my trip, so I bought a new pair at the airport. When it announced “Power On” in an English when I used it the first time I started dying laughing. Look, it makes sense. I know. I’ve just never experienced this before.
I have been REALLY struggling this week, ever since I came back home from GAconf ❤️ Some personal stuff, some work stuff, nothing I'm comfortable talk about. But after todays stream I'm going to bed smiling! Thanks for bringing joy to my world when I need it the most ✨
Hey, can you do me a favour and go give this episode a view? For some reason, it's been stuck on a very low view count than normal, and I don't know why.
PART 4 - Reunion & Revelation IS NOW AVAILABLE! After escaping from their cells and releasing Prisoner 13 from her cell, the task is clear, get what they need and get out. But fate has other plans and the party may not have all the information. youtu.be/GtVVllc5eaY
@ianhamilton_ @jwac4780 Right, I would love to see a wrestling game and a soul like that would be fully accessible for blind and low vision players. That would be awesome.
@rpgoblin When my fingers give out. So keep the accessibility options coming cause I want to be able to keep playing my whole life.
I absolutely love @AggroCrabGames newest game another crabs treasure. And I absolutely love the inclusion of difficulty settings, it makes a genre with very little accessibility very accessible!
@JayRPGaming1 It's "Another Crab's Treasure", a soulslike with some great accessibility options (one which gives you a gun)
Accessibility Update: The booth was so full yesterday that we didn’t manage to get a chance to set up the accessibility equipment until late in the day, but we’re all set up and ready to go this morning! 🎮
Accessibility Update: We had a slight issue getting our accessibility hardware equipment delivered in time for set up, but it’s arrived in the building and we’ll get it set up ASAP for folks to check out soon! Check back here for an update 💚

@ianhamilton_ @jwac4780 Right, however, me and some friends are going to stream some games together that aren’t so blind user-friendly and collaborate together.
