Hi guys, This year I'll be attending the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, where I'll be participating in a Panel Discussion on the subject of 10 years of game accessibility. Here's a description of what it will be about:
*quote* In the ten years that the IGDA's accessibility group has been running we have seen many advances in the field, with awareness growing, and more and more developers considering accessibility for gamers with disabilities. But there's a long way to go, with work still needed to remove barriers in areas such as hardware, software, third party tools, online communities, education and policy. We will be taking a retrospective of some of the key achievements and developments over the past ten years, and with your input, also look at the next important areas to focus on, providing a roadmap of how all of us can help the industry move towards greater inclusion, allowing the entertainment and quality of life benefits of gaming to reach even wider audiences. *quote end* For this Panel session we would love your input! We have designed a tiny survey (just 4 questions!) on your view of the past 10 years of accessible gaming, as well as a possible way forward. We kindly request everyone to please take 5 minutes to fill in this survey. The results will be presented on the 5th of March during the Panel Discussion, as well as in a printed hand-out. Of course we will share the results through this list too!
