A History of Game Accessibility Guidelines
June 16, 2021 | 0 Comments
This article is a follow up to a recent twitter chat, sharing a timeline of the development of accessibility resources.
This timeline is non-exhaustive, there will no doubt be things that I’ve missed or am not aware of, and there are a few internal sets of guidelines that can’t be shared publicly too.
But hopefully it will be an interesting read, and give a sense of where we have come from, how knowledge and resources have grown, evolved, built upon one another, and how many passionate people from all across the industry have helped to push the field forward.

Prioritising Accessibility Considerations
April 20, 2020 | 0 Comments
A common question around accessibility is where to start. What to concentrate on if you’re late in development, have limited resources, aren’t familiar with the topic. I’ve often seen developers paralysed by this, wanting to do good work but overwhelmed by the possibilities and worry of getting it wrong.
