'As a level designer, I keep accessibility at the forefront of my thinking from the start of my design process. I like to find seemingly small design choices that can make a big difference for players with accessibility needs. For example, to help players with motor accessibility needs, can an area that has multiple jumps be just as fun if we change it to stairs or a slope? Recognising and making this decision early in the whiteboxing stage means we don’t need to make retrospective changes. I recommend that other developers think about accessibility in their games as early as they can. I believe that designing with accessibility principles in mind leads to overall better design decisions and an improved game for all players. A stand-out moment for me was when I had a go at playing Minecraft with technology that allowed me to use my eyes as the controller. I was blown away, and thinking about how much joy that technology could bring someone really stuck with me.' Chris Palmer, Junior Level Designer #GAAD

'I run an internal accessibility Expo for GAAD at Rebellion, where we invite charity guests like SpecialEffect and RNIB, showcase our own work, and other things to be inspired by. It’s a fantastic event for our team, to get them interacting with subject matter experts and seeing some of the things we’re up to across our projects! These moments of talking to experts, getting hand on with accessible hardware, and testing features and tools in other projects helps us get a more rounded understanding of accessibility inside and outside of Rebellion, and helps inspire us to innovate. I am inspired when the teams are inspired, and this is why events like this matter. It helps us all think about accessibility in our work and drives us to create games more people can play.' Cari Watterton, Senior Accessibility Designer #GAAD

'As a sound designer I try and consider accessibility in the approach I take in making sounds. For example, where possible making unique sounds rather than anything sharing the same audio, or by using sound to help signpost an area or item of interest, like a recognisable gust of wind that plays near gaps you could sneak through, or a subtle hum of a special loot crate. An example I enjoy is in Ghost of Tsushima where the archers vocalise to their own men that they are about to fire their bow, but it’s also letting you know as the player that you need to roll out of the way, which is something a sighted and non-sighted player can both benefit from, as well as signposting to you the direction that the archer is in. I continue to learn about the ways audio can help with making games more accessible, and I would encourage everyone to do the same because I think there shouldn’t be barriers to having a good gaming experience and we can all learn how to make games more accessible from each other.' Lottie Wade, Intermediate Audio Designer #GAAD

As part of our GAAD celebrations, our Senior Accessibility Designer ran an internal expo at our offices in Oxford 🕹️ Giving a bit more insight into some of the barriers gamers with disabilities face 💡 Special thanks to RNIB, SpecialEffect & Abertay University for joining us 👏 When we design with accessibility in mind, we all win ✅

'Designers always need to be considering the experience of the player on the other side of the screen. Part of this process is asking ourselves questions about the unintentional challenges that players may be facing when playing our games and how we could solve them. This is accessibility at its core, so naturally it weaves itself into all the design work that we do. Encouraging this mindset is invaluable when creating any kind of experience for another person. Our enjoyment of something is very obviously filtered through our ability to interact with it, so a well-designed product must at some level accommodate what these abilities may be for as many individuals as possible. In nearly every case, a good design is synonymous with an accessible design.' Edward Waterhouse-Biggins, Designer #GAAD
