WORKSHOP: Create for Everyone: An Introduction to Accessibility and Inclusive Design
Join accessibility consultant and disabled gamer Elisabeth Sivertsen (Arevya) for a workshop on accessibility in games, inspired by Microsoft’s Inclusive Design principles.
This workshop will explore how to identify barriers, brainstorm accessible solutions, and understand how inclusive design can enhance both player experience and creative vision. You’ll leave this session with concrete tips and practical tools for making every part of game development more accessible.
The workshop fits for designers, programmers, artists, production and QA teams, and social media managers. This session is your chance to learn how small accessibility choices can make a big impact for both players and your studio.
