Iโ€™m diving into accessibility consulting with a focus on autism/neurodivergence, and the overlooked world of trophy/achievement accessibility. If your game rewards players, letโ€™s make sure everyone can earn them. check my website cameronkeywood.weebly.com (alt text on website in progress)

After years of applying, building a studio, and pouring myself into the games industry, Iโ€™ve decided to stop chasing employment in it. Hundreds of rejections later, often for not having experience I was never given the chance to gain, itโ€™s time to pivot.

The state of accessibility in games?
It has been a battle to get dedicated roles, I worry with the current industry culture of "cut back" and "get rid" that it will have lasting effects for the future stability of #accessibility in games.
Can't grow future talent if it can't start learning now.

i recorded a really big video set to release later today, it's my unfiltered thoughts on the games industry, layoffs, accessibility and AI

would love if people give it a listen/signal boost and happy to chat to anyone who has a different viewpoint
