Ubisoft released a color blind simulation tool today, called UbiChroma.

The free and open source tool enables developers to test for color blind accessibility issues in real-time. Fitting existing workflows, it can help catch color blind issues early.

Heya folks, do I have any mutual indie developers who have included #accessibility features in their released games they would be interested in letting me reference in my book on building better accessible games?

Please take the time to listen Rami's this appeal, read the campaign @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social has put together and support the project how you can.

The industry has been complicit in the dehumanisation & genocide of the Palestinian people, now is the time we can speak up and give our support 🍉🇵🇸

I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.

In case you missed this yesterday - this project is incredibly important and dear to me. The developer, @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social, is potentially in danger for insisting on making this game, but he refuses to back down because backing down would mean not telling this story.

The most common & harmful #gamedev misconception about accessibility is that accessibility = feature development, therefore accessibility = cost that must be weighed up.

If there was one single thing that I could delete from the collective consciousness it would be that.

Hi Bluesky! I have finished my article on women in videogames and I’d like to share it with you all. It’s been a real labor of love for me to write this, so I hope you enjoy it and find it useful.

The blood on our Controllers - The Complicity of the Game Industry in the Palestinian Genocide

Can we please agree that it is perfectly fine and encouraged for people to play games on any difficulty they feel comfortable with without feeling the need to judge or criticise them? Gosh, let people enjoy things.

Bsky already seems to evoke a lot of those early Twitter gamedev community memories in the first day of being here.

Glad to finally be off Twitter, I think it says worlds that people who cite it as a "free speech platform" really just are applauding their freedom to spout hate speech unmoderated.

Hi I'm Joe, a Design Director at Sumo Digital.

I've worked as a designer on a bunch of games like Horizon: Zero Dawn, Hitman 2, Sack boy: A Big Adventure and more.

I'm also currently writing a #GameAccessibility book under the working title "How to Build Accessible Games".
