As a designer, it is important to ensure our game experience is usable by as many people as possible. Our experience must be easy to use, with minimal, extra adaptations; ensuring all players feel welcome and are able to engage with the game as intended.

Accessible design features can be broken down into six different categories: motor, cognitive, vision, hearing, speech and general.

Adaptions required for design:

Motor

• Controls are able to be remapped
• Support multiple input devices
• Interactions that require accuracy will be stationary

Cognitive

• Simple, clear gameplay structure
• Clear indication of interactive elements
• Ensure music/sounds are distinct

Vision

• Distinct sound/music for all objects and events
• Use surround sound
• Option to adjust contrast
