UIUX as its own branch with dedicated UX Designers, UI Artists, UI Engineers (and tech artists), and Producers.
UIUX often works across multiple features and needs to be managed accordingly. It needs the agency to set a schedule and push back, which is hard to do from the shadows of another org.

A thread on colourblindness & #gamedev -
If your approach to colourblindness is full screen filters, you're *doing it wrong*, and causing more problems that you're solving.
If you see a game that has filters, they're doing it wrong. If you see a game that has a 'strength' slider - don't copy it.

That's perfectly okay, I had to learn as well. There's this amazing graphic floating around bluesky that gives a very good intro on how to alt text. A more extensive guide can be found here: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

So congratulations to everyone whose game got announced tonight ❤️ You are getting closer! You're doing great! Get to that finish line!

Today, I learnt what was an infinite switch and how to replace it, thus fixing our oven burner. I'm very proud of myself.

Who's cutting onions
In 2012, AbleGamers gave SWTOR an award for our accessibility. I was sent to accept the reward, and just now I found the notes from my acceptance. It... felt important, so I thought I'd repurpose the high points into a thread. Please join me for a bit.

Hi I'm Clara. I design buttons for video games and when I'm not designing buttons I bother game developers about the importance of accessibility in video games.
