Accessibility in Game Design: Tools to Make Games for Everyone
Accessible design ensures that everyone, including players with disabilities, can enjoy your game. Tools and engines now support features like:
- Custom controls
- Subtitles and text-to-speech
- Colorblind modes
- Adjustable difficulty
Engines like Unity and Unreal include accessibility frameworks. Developers can also use plug-ins or APIs to detect input devices, screen readers, or special preferences.
Accessibility isn’t a constraint—it’s an opportunity to reach more players and show inclusive values.
