It has been incredibly difficult to find games in Steam Next Fest that have accessibility tags. Devs PLEASE if you have a demo, and you might have some accessibility options, ADD ACCESSIBILITY TAGS!
For now though AbleToPlay has a great curated list below of accessible demos to try.
Summerfall are a wonderful crew! Send in your application, what are you waiting for?
Hey gang! Are there any Melbourne/Victoria-based 3D modellers looking for short contract work right now? Summerfall is currently on the lookout for contractors to do hard-surface environment work for a new prototype, like furniture and all that. 🔨🪑
Send through portfolios! 🙂 Cheers!
I wonder what it’s like to have reliable public transport.
Several trains have been cancelled and delayed all due to an equipment fault.
Why do very few games offer text or UI scaling? Nobody ever takes into account nystagmus.
Playing Ratchet and Clank and it's been fantastic and even has a bunch of accessibility features but still doesn't let you scale the UI so I'm standing at the TV trying to read the weapon descriptions.
Ugh.
We need to keep advocating for the release of MRFF dollars to secure our future.
A pleasure working with so many great people to support Monique’s video campaign. 👌
The first edition was excellent, cannot recommend highly enough!
Anyone who is a QA or has an impact on front-end user interactions in any way (including devs)- regardless of industry- should read this.
With Games for Blind Gamers Jam 5 around the corner, the organizers publish helpful blind accessibility articles to inspire participants.
The first article is an introduction to blind accessibility, and how blind and low vision players play games.

I’m not a morning person, but something about excited puppy tail wags and the laughter of my partner makes my 6:30am wake up calls worth it <3
Good morning Dr. Shane.
I hope this holiday season is treating you well. :)
Happy Monday, may it be a kind one :)
Game accessibility isn’t niche — over 1 billion people worldwide have a disability. Accessible design expands your audience by default.
Good morning! I hope Monday is kind to you :)
Good morning, I hope you have a wonderful caffeinated day today.
Good luck, congratulations on the new role!
what legal recourse do artists and museums have against international militaries stealing and using our work to commit warcrimes, since apparently that's a conversation we need to have now.
Happy Friday, Dr Shane.
I hope you enjoyed a lovely coffee this morning and you are somewhere enjoying the sunshine too.
Times are tough for everyone I think.
Daily I have the goal of applying to a min of 3 jobs, and spending at least an hour teaching myself typescript & automated testing.
Today I’m taking the time to reset, recharge & paint in the garden. It’s amazing what some fresh air & creative freedom does.
I’m glad you made it safe, I hope you can find a coffee to make it through easier.
Enough people said they wanted to see the final slide deck, so I took the time to put it on my non-teacher github so I could share it. I didn't end up getting in trouble. I ended up being encouraged by a colleague to share it with my dept chair, and he liked it

➡️ Submit questions for our Accessibility Roundtable, hosted by @nothingwithoutus.bsky.social
We’re collecting questions ahead of time to help shape the conversation around games accessibility.
I love Kojima's creative mind. I truly do. But disabled people once again are disconnected from what will be
GOTY because it lacks most of the basics of accessibility. Too often 95% of GOTY contenders over the past decade barely have any thought to accessibility.

I’m sorry. I’m heart broken for you and the team in reading the update email and posts.
Oh this is so wrong! I’m sorry Leena. I wonder if there might be a class action soon.
Today I*
Today a took a break from job hunting to try baking GF & Vegan friendly lemon and almond lamingtons -super easy and yummy!
I’m not GF or vegan, but I think it’s important that everyone feels welcome and included in my home.
It feels good to be making something that makes others happy.
Happy Tuesday to you too, may you have enough coffee to get you through the meeting(s) of the day :)
How do you start building a community when you have nothing playable in hands?
