A lot of game devs ask us “how do I design my game for the Xbox adaptive controller?” The answer is pretty simple: you don’t. We don’t design games for hardware. We design them for the diverse humans who are enjoying them. Catch my keynote at #FDG23 on #gameaccessibility 🙏🎮
.@KaitlynJones_' incredible summary of the last decade of game accessibility is also online. I thought this was an amazing primer that covered so much ground in one talk - really amazing examples of impactful work too. #fdg23
