Don't want the GAAD goodness to end? Why not keep it rolling by getting tickets to the next US Edition of the Game Accessibility Conference? Available Now! 🎮 GACONF US 🗓️ Sept 29th & 30th 📍 Hybrid: Archer Hotel, Redmond, WA and Online www.eventbrite.com/e/gaconf-usa...

I’m going to be updating this soon with the latest round of speakers - stay tuned!

This year's Access-Ability Summer Showcase will be airing Friday June 6th at 4pm UK, 11am Eastern, 8am Pacific. Expect 20+ trailers for video games making efforts to be playable by a wide range of disabled gamers. Available with ASL, BSL, and Audio Descriptions. Twitch and YouTube @ LauraKBuzz.

Back from @gaconf.bsky.social and it has been a *blast*. I have never been more full of Mexican food and Battenburg. The work everyone there does to improve disabled people's access to games and bring joy to their lives is so inspiring. Every little improvement counts and adds up to greatness ✨

Now that things have settled down a bit, catching up on sessions from @gaconf.bsky.social. What an incredible gathering of #GamesAccessibility advocates and experts.

Highly recommend this @gaconf.bsky.social talk by @theslasherchick.bsky.social!

Home, processing everything @gaconf.bsky.social related, will sleep very good tonight!

day 2 of #gaconf! you can catch me on the UX panel at 12:30 <333

Watching the second day of #GAConf in person, having met so many great people both yesterday and today already. Would highly recommend, if you can attend either physically or online, that you do so… It’s schdda great opportunity and event! #Accessibility #A11y

Day two of #GAConf — accessibility is cool 😎

Goodness of any conference this one always feels like such a homecoming and community. Had a wonderful moment to finally speak to the lovely @sightlesskombat.bsky.social today over breakfast. So so nice to speak to you. #GAconf

Proud boss moment of @hfrayling.com & @thewobblygamer.bsky.social in their staff hoodies for #GAConf. What an amazing event to be our first one as a team. 💪

Just got back from my second year at #GAConf. I love coming here to learn and be surrounded by people who care about making games more accessible.

On the train back from #GAConf in London, feeling revitalised after so many great talks by great people (and delicious food to boot!).

First batch of @gaconf.bsky.social #Game #Accessibilty conference talks are now up www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I'm still on holiday but wanted to share the @gaconf.bsky.social panel I was on, which is now up on YouTube! also ft. The amazing, infallible, fantastic @thewobblygamer.bsky.social @thecaringllama.bsky.social and Amy Kavanaugh youtu.be/DsDYsMNULEM?...

Learned about this yesterday during @gaconf.bsky.social! Ubisoft have made their #Colourblind Simulator available (open source) so other devs make their games more accessible to those with colourblindness news.ubisoft.com/en-gb/articl... #GAconf

Bouncing into my day. Hearing is kinda off in both ears now, but it’s probably better overall. Yay for otovent thingy. Bloody weird + kinda painful, but it seems to be helping. Mix of game accessibility stuff with @gaconf.bsky.social and nerdy stuff for ERMI today.

What a deep talk on Motion Sickness by @aderyn.bsky.social and @hereliesstacey.bsky.social from Ubisoft. It affects 1 out 3 people in different ways. So far my favorite talk, and the rest have been amazing too. @gaconf.bsky.social is food for the brain and soul! #accessibility

Been kinda intense being back at @gaconf.bsky.social in person for the first time in 6 years… So many new faces, but a bunch of old friends too. Lots of good chats, and the BANTER no one does the bants like the British

So many great learnings from today's @gaconf.bsky.social, some of it definitely needs re-watching with a non-foggy brain. This quote from the talk Selling Progress has stuck with me though: "Patience is the acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind."

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. caniplaythat.com/2025/04/14/u...

Love seeing more open-sourced accessibility tools in gaming! Congrats Ubisoft team 👏👏👏

This is a big deal. A lot of games have colourblind options that are just filters and don't work as intended. This new testing tool allows you to simulate properly in real-time, and highlight where you might be missing areas early enough to potentially fix these issues before it's too late.

Doing more accessibility strategy/action plan stuff today; hoping to be inspired by having @gaconf.bsky.social on in the background

I’m attending the @gaconf.bsky.social Europe today & tomorrow. Thank you so much for allowing those of us who can’t travel to London at the moment to join remotely, it’s an incredible opportunity! Very thankful to have this event to talk and share about accessibility in video games 🎮🩷

Super busy today with work, but I'm going to catch up on @gaconf.bsky.social later! #Gaconf

Got my Supporter ticket for next week's @gaconf.bsky.social ! I wish more conferences were so dedicated to create an accessible event with both online and in person attending. This weekend full rest to prepare for the 2 amazing days ahead of us. #accessibility

Ready for @gaconf.bsky.social 😃

Will be lurking in the Discord for this one on Monday 👀 If you dig games, accessibility, and colourful square consumable arrangements of sugar then definitely come hang out!

Suitcase broke at the airport but that can’t stop me from making it to @gaconf.bsky.social ✈️

Will be there online, remotely from northern Finland!✨

I always forgot I made this video for @gaconf.bsky.social last year. It’s about gaming, but the underlying model works for almost any skill. A way to analyse things that go wrong & then the types of solutions that might work.

❤️I'll be there

You can catch me speaking on the UX panel alongside three other brilliant designers next week! Come hang out, learn about accessibility and make some friends <333

If I don't remember you, I'm not being mean to you... Next week is @gaconf.bsky.social, one of the highlights of the year for me and for the game accessibility community. Finally I get to meet all the wonderful humans I spend so much time talk to online. But it is also scary...

It's a week today 🎉 Looking forward to seeing you all there! #gamedev #indiedev #accessibility
