Knights of Guinevere episode 2 is out at last! Hope you're all enjoying 'Wolves Around The Corner'. I'll post some of my environments soon; in the meantime, I couldn't resist drawing the princess to celebrate. 🔵💙🔵
Black and white drawing- Princess Guinevere walks in the woods away from a tower. She looks a little lost! On either side of her path, wolves watch her progress with interest.

Shared this on LinkedIn, but had to bring it here too! More than 100,000 players regularly use High Contrast Mode in EA SPORTS FC 26 😱🔥 This is a cool benchmark. I’m proud of the team behind this, and we’ll keep improving our designs so everyone can enjoy football and all our other games ♿✨

Love that we get to hear different language dubbing for Reina from Tekken in the upcoming Fatal Fury: CotW DLC! It’s good accessibility for those with visual and text-processing disabilities who don’t understand the original spoken language.

The accessibility settings for me (I have low vision and slow reaction times) were what pushed me over the edge to buy and play the game! I was already excited just to see LEGOs take on those mechanics, but WB publishing their list of settings before release was got me to actually buy the game

I was interviewed for @outinjerseymag.bsky.social about being lgbt in the games industry and representation in games :) thanks for the opportunity @majesticgaming.bsky.social ! You can get it for free in NJ, or here’s a pdf link: outinjersey.net/wp-content/u...
Out in Jersey magazine cover. A lady in a suit is on a red background. Jeanne Hengemuhle - State police boss on what makes a leaderRawb Herb, 32, of Pittsburgh, who uses he/him pronouns, is a gay solo developer and freelance concept artist and character designer with experience as an art director in the independent game industry. He is working on a solo project called The Tennis Academy. It is described on the Steam online game store page as a story in which the fate of the world is decided via tennis battles. This game allows the player to
engage in LGBTQ+ dating as well. Speaking about the experiences LGBTQ+ game developers such as himself have had in their field, Herb said workplaces have more workers who are LGBTQ+ and have become more accepting of those with that identity. Despite the accepting environ- ment, he continued, he's needed to advocate for that same representation in the games made. "If you believe enough in doing the right thing, it's possible to convince others as well. Sometimes it takes a lot of patience, but having queer coworkers to back you up definitely helps, so definitely look to build those
relationships when possible," he said.For those interested in getting into LGBTQ+ gaming, the developers
recommended games to get new players started. Herb recommended Tell Me Why, which he described as "a great story featuring a trans protagonist that takes place in Alaska." He warned that the game "has some heavy themes, but it's beautiful and not physically demanding to play." Two others on Herb's list for gamers to check out are Undertale and Deltarune. He describes them as "challenging retro- style action games with charming stories and an assortment of queer
characters." Both Herb and Blundell recommended Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, with Herb describing it as "a silly life [simulator] game with
inclusive gender and sexuality options for the characters you create."Looking ahead, Hero is hopeful about the state of LGBTQ+ video games:
"The future is definitely pretty gay."

Been really enjoying playing Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. An accessibility thought I had while playing - I can't name another AAA budget kids / family game that supports audio described cutscenes and high contrast mode. Some indie examples for sure, but very little in AAA.

@sabergames.bsky.social I'm really enjoying the Hellraiser Revival demo, BUT as a motion sickness prone player I'm really struggling. If nothing else, I'd REALLY appreciate an option to turn off "head bob" when walking as an accessibility option, otherwise I probably won't be able to play.

Making excellent navigational aids less visually accessible to appease a vocal minority of Gamers™ is not the way. Unlike the scent trail, this stinks. If you can adjust the visual intensity, by all means allow players to do so. But give them the choice to keep the most accessible option for them.

I like that there’s a choice between watching the Directs dubbed or subbed. The dubbed version allows people who do not know Japanese with visual and/or text-processing disabilities to still be able enjoy the Direct. I wish Nintendo labeled the difference between the Directs properly, though.
