I really do hate the term 'metroidbrania'. I think so do many of you. Let's nip it in the bud before it becomes something people are financially invested in.

We first reported on Steam's accessibility tags in April, when it was available for developers to add to their games.
Now, Steam users can filter their search results by accessibility features. The tagged features are also visible on a game's store page.

Given recent conversations in the industry, I wanted to highlight some amazing organizations, resources, and community-driven groups working hard to advance accessibility in gaming. There’s a lot of great work happening — and it deserves more visibility.

One of my mentorship fellows @percivalkish.bsky.social pitched their capstone project: Accessibility Dungeons. A ttrpg dungeon crawler where making the dungeon more accessible (via IRL accessible design) is how you escape!

Note taking for games is something I've been fascinated with for a long time, both as a copious note taker irl, and a UX professional who has worked at studios making video games inspired by their more note heavy tabletop RPG cousins.
