So happy to be on the list and thrilled to see so many big studios putting #accessibility up front. #diabloIV

When talking to my UI designers, my answer is always, “no, this is not large enough”. They respond, “really?” And I respond, “yep”

Sorry. Yes. We should always be aiming larger. Current Microsoft rules require no smaller than 18px. I prefer sitting at 22 as the smallest allowed.

It means 13.5pt font. We typically round up to 14 which is 19px. This size is readable on a switch handheld screen. :)

Shouldn’t be going below 18 pixels for the smallest shown font! Let players scale up to 26-28 pixels! Make assumptions about your target platforms. Console on a 40 inch TV 10 feet away, 7.4 inch Steam Deck, 6.2 inch Switch Screen.

We won some Shorties for our Hell Welcomes All video! #accessibility #DiabloIV

Guilty!

I highly recommend this list of folks. :)

So with the nominees announced for Innovation in Accessibility at #tga2024 I have to say that I am once again humbled by being nominated and also be thrilled that there is so much competition in the space with critical features enabling our players. We win when we all win. #accessibility #diabloIV

Innovation in Accessibility let's gooooo! #diabloIV #TGA2024 #accessibility

The Xbox adaptive controller is a go to for me along with one of my children. It’s really a game changer.

Big shout out to everyone potentially getting nominated for TGAs on Monday. Remember that, regardless of who’s nominated and who wins for Innovation in Accessibility the fact that there’s competition means we’re on the right track in the industry. #accessibility #tga2024

Doing the same thing man. It’s crazy but also probably time. 😅

Posting this event though its a bit old now. Was really proud of this video. #accessibility #diabloIV

With the recent events I’m actually going to start posting more here, though I’ll need to still handle twitter as the volume there hits. #accessibility #diabloIV

Blizzcon is coming up fast. Going to be some great talks. I’ll see you folks there. :)

Inside Activision Blizzard’s Efforts To Make ‘Diablo IV’ Inclusive Of And Accessible To All Ga... Letta, who’s been at Activision for a decade and has a background in art and engineering, said he’s "always had an interest" in accessibility, diversity, and inclusion...

Myself and the wonderful Adrian Ledda were interviewed by Forbes. #accessibility

What’s up vampire themed season 2 for Diablo IV?!?! Let’s goooooooo! #diabloIV

Not going to lie. Miss #’s working. Let’s step up the game BlueSky. Gotta compete with… X? Or something.

I know right? Kind of blown away.

Hot take. FF16 is a fantastic game with an engrossing story and subpar accessibility options. But it is also a bad Final Fantasy game.

Naw it’s cool. I literally did this while being recorded for a Walking the Talk podcast on accessibility at work this week. You’re fine. 😅

Boom! *high fives Microsoft*

Oh man. New world. New hellos. If you’re a #blizzard #accessibility or #diablo type of people let me know!!!!

Zaven!
