Скачать или смотреть FBTB 2023: Matthew Gallant – Designing games for everyone

The Last of Us Part II is considered a landmark in video game accessibility. The game provides over 60 accessibility options, including a high-contrast render mode, simplified control schemes, and highly customisable subtitles. These adjustments open the game to players with disabilities, allowing them to remove barriers that might otherwise have impeded them. Most significantly, the game includes a suite of innovative features which allow a completely blind player to play through the entire game. The Last of Us Part II won the inaugural "Innovation in Accessibility" award at The Game Awards in 2020.

This talk will outline the principles that guide making accessible video games at Naughty Dog. It will explore how these ideas can apply more broadly to design in general and how designers can avoid unintentionally excluding people with their choices. Accessible design is a good universal design, and its benefits extend to everyone.
