Key art for Keeper "Noir" Mode The "Back in Black & White" Update.

Keeper update!
▪️Noir mode!
▪️Ultrawide monitor support!
▪️New accessibility features!

You would think a colorful game like Keeper would loose a lot going black & white, but this version has been tuned by @leepetty.bsky.social himself so it really highlights the drama. (As well as his love for AC/DC.)

I agree that not every game should be made for everyone, but the reason I won't play Resident Evil should be because I don't like horror games. Not because it makes me nauseous, is too difficult, or it gives me sensory overload.

I believe that accessibility in a videogame should only be limited to your tastes. Not your capabilities.

@arevya.bsky.social as you appreciate humour in accessibility announcements, here's @leepetty.bsky.social announcing Keeper's new high contrast settings

#Accessibility takes a little bit extra effort - but it’s time well spent. For this #screenshotsaturday we show you a little update of our demo, with improved accessibility. 🙂

I just used vision accessibility options for the first time
Am I officially old now

Isometric view of a derelict kitchen with worn walls and mismatched cabinets. A character stands by a table under a dim light. Next to the lamp, a stylized “CLICK” onomatopoeia floats in a comic-like style, showing the new visual sound cue feature.

Recently added early visual sound cues to the game and tweaked CC.
Captions can be resized and recolored, and objects can now display written sounds like “CLICK” when they make noise.
Still rough, but a small step toward better accessibility nonetheless.

Do I know any game developers working on a game that has a fair amount of accessibility features that would be up for a quick chat with me for an article?

@stevesaylor.net

Are there any press/Youtubers or accessibility folks who want a copy of Rhythm Doctor?

We can talk about whatever you want, including:
- Roughly 10 year journey from Flash Game to Steam
- One-button design for a rhythm game
- Screen reader support + audio cues

Yep 100!

BTW that is a screenshot of the finalists page for the GAConf accessibility awards, the best indie effort category specifically.

...choices that the devs make. If you are piling on loads of complex systems and mechanics and controls that leaves you with a load of inaccessibility that you then have to spend money trying xxx to implement workarounds for. Indies by necessity often avoid quite a bit of that.

Indies have a few advantages over AAAs. Freedom to do what you want without having to fight against a mountain of other people's priorities. Being able to react immediately to player feedback. And also usually less inaccessibility by default - games only become inaccessible through the design...

Here are a few nice recent examples, outstripping most AAAs -

To be fair that doesn't happen very often

A man with a red cape stands in the center of the screen overlooking the development of Rome. Mt. Vesuvius and the Coliseum are in the background.

Mouse and keyboard controller menu with remappable controls, game speed setting, and camera tilt settings.

Anno: Pax Romana is a detailed city-builder with equally detailed accessibility options like color contrast, text resizing, UI resizing, gameplay pausing, colorblind mode, and more! The wealth of features make expanding your empire and shaping the future of Rome super fun!

Never happened. The well was in fact poisoned by ragebaiting demagogues making shit up in order to engagement-farm gamergaters.

Not a hot take at all, it's a bad take, wholly inaccurate. Indies have always been at the forefront for accessibility. Sounds like you may have a misconception that accessibility is measured by number of options.

It literally is accessibility though

No

Your theory is in fact, thankfully, entirely wrong. The category has its own expert jury of accessibility specialists, most of whom are disabled. And Xbox are well repaired because they're almost the leaders of the industry for accessibility.
