Demystifying accessibility – identifying best practice and simple implementation for (almost) every game

Considering accessibility of your game may seem like a huge and at times overwhelming task – but it doesn’t have to be. If you want everyone – including disabled gamers – to enjoy your game this talk will provide you with a starting point. I will go over a few simple and straightforward implementations of accessibility by design and accessibility through options or settings that I like to see as a disabled gamer and accessibility consultant. I go over some basic guidelines and point towards resources that are already out there to help you make you games more accessible. I use best practice examples to illustrate some possible solutions for different genres that work for different disabilities. Finally, I will offer some advice on how to plan for accessibility implementation throughout the development process, regardless of studio size or complexity of the project at hand.
