Everyone should think about the boss all alone this week. 😢
No @thewobblygamer.bsky.social to sing the morning song.
No @hfrayling.com to complain about her knees, the NHS, Gen Z, children having fun outside, her bus pass and mostly accessibility in games.
All alone as staff wanted to have their "legal right" to annual leave.

It's International Women's Day, so we have to highlight the talents of @hfrayling.com at Many Cats.
We had to carefully select what image best represents them.
So, we went with a robot that knows its the one.
Harri would be happy.

Screenshot of web page with Chris headshot. Workshop description: Understanding Accessibility In Games Get a working understanding of accessibility and how that is applied to making games. Take part in the Inclusive Design workshop activities to start adopting accessibility to real game design options. You will come away with an understanding of applying this knowledge to your own game projects or in your work. Chris is the CEO of Many Cats Studios, an accessibility studio supporting developers like Amazon Game Studios (Tomb Raider), Day Off Interactive and more to make their games as accessible as possible. He is disabled, hard of hearing and has multiple sclerosis (MS), so the importance of accessibility is important to him as a player.
We are heading to the Yorkshire Games Festival on Thu 12th Feb to run an exciting workshop about accessibility!
Hopefully we inspire the future accessibility devs of the industry!
