I do my best to advocate for accessibility but I'm embarrassed to say I'm, well... Embarrassed to talk about one of my own biggest accessibility issues.
It's fairly niche and I worry that people won't take me seriously. But I probably need to have more faith in A11Y folks 😅

AAA devs, I can't say it enough, Accessibility is vital to the community. This is as important as anything in your game. If a player can't play due to a blocker then all that work is locked out to them. This is worse than your worst bug. Plan accessibility now, period, before it's too late.

If gamers want more games like BG3 and TotK, here's the deal; developers need the stability of staying at a studio long-term. And right now, least in the U.S., that is not typically how the ecosystem works.

Still on the lookout for my next senior+ or leadership role in UI/UX. I'd love to find a highly collaborative, mindful, people-first kind of studio space with diverse leadership and the right project fit.

Hey so... if you've done an art test for a fairly big developer, how long would you expect to wait to hear back from them?
