AbleGamers, a site dedicated toward reviewing games with regard to how they cater to the handicapped crowd, has recently launched their delightfully-titled program “Includification.”
This new program runs through a ton of ways in which developers can (and should) make their games more accessible to the over 33 million disabled gamers out there. Everything is covered: obvious things like a colorblind mode and remappable keys to not-so-obvious concepts such as speed settings and key macros. On a related note, Terry Cavanagh’sVVVVVVis one of the most accessible games I’ve ever played, believe it or not!
The website itself is wonderful and easy to navigate, but if you want a more in-depth look into the world of Includification, check out this here.PDF. I really hope that this helps developers finally realize that it doesn’t take very much to cater to a huge demographic.
