Creators... please... from a humble community manager... I am begging you to put your emails in a public place so we can contact you for opportunities. 🥹🫶 I want to help you. Sincerely, a tired CM who has to pass on several creators who have no public contact info...

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. A thread ♿️♥️

👏👏👏 Please make your business emails visible in your bios 👏👏👏 Don't be like the creators I just had to skip over for an opportunity I am working on, I don't have the luxury of time to try and reach out to you without an email address!

Before the launch of UNDERISLES this summer, we're reinvigorating the core game to reach a new audience wishing to learn sign language. Retail and FLGS copies will have a sticker on the cover to better communicate what makes INSPIRISLES so unique!

Make closed captioning a standard in movie theatres. None of that "if you go on the fourth Tuesday of April when Saturn is in retrograde, you'll have a 25% chance of having closed captioning glasses that are charged."

It is cheaper to design for accessibility than to retroactively fix and/or implement them!

I wish everyone working in games could all have stable good paying jobs with benefits. I feel like in an industry that makes hundreds of billions of dollars that isn't so much to ask.

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

Game devs for accessibility you should not rely on only colour as a signal. It may exclude folks who are colour blind. Ideally a colour signal is combined with an icon, shape, text, different FX, and/or some other visual language signal.

One of my favourite parts of this job is spotlighting brilliant indie games like @dogubomb.bsky.social — and seeing all the creative ways they approach accessibility. It’s a win-win for everyone! 💙 Go play *Blue Prince*!
