See all- Accessibility Awareness Month Interview Series: Mark BarletLink visible for attendees
Did you know that 20% of game players identify as having some form of disability? Accessibility isn't just a feature – it's fundamental to creating truly impactful games. We kick off a series of events for Accessibility Awareness Month as we sit down with Mark Barlet, COO of Access Forge, to explore why accessibility matters in the indie space. Discover how inclusive design can enrich the player experience, broaden your audience, and contribute to a more welcoming and diverse gaming community.
Join us on Twitch, YouTube, and LinkedIn for this insightful conversation as we delve into the crucial role of accessibility in indie game design.
There will be time for live Q&A during this discussion so come prepared with your questions.
