I've been involved with a few video game #accessibility events in the past month, talking to kids, young adults, and game developers about accessible video games and the changes that allow blind people to play. Looking forward to doing more this year hopefully. :)

Great day! Hailey Austin and I spent the day down at @rnibscotland.bsky.social in Edinburgh 🏴 testing our accessible VR Abertay University project work with blind and visually impaired people. Huge thank you to @jameskyle.bsky.social for organising this! Very informative session!
Outside Hillside Crescent (our main office in Scotland), on a sunny day, a large group of RNIB Scotland community members are wearing bold pink RNIB t-shirts and waving. There are two guide dogs amongst them, and some friends from VIE Velo, a tandem cycling club, with their tandem bikes.

I made a starter pack with accounts and people involved in game sales, events and showcases.
That way you'll find out as quickly as possible when these people are planning something. 👀
Please share the pack so that as many indies as possible can benefit from it. 🥰

I played the arcade version of this just last night at the Game On exhibition in Edinburgh's National Museum of Scotland. I remember when the game first came out and seeing it in person in Bournemouth. It amazed me them and I still love it now.
Rando Sunday Coin-op: Virtua Fighter
Yu Suzuki revolutionized beat 'em ups with this, the first full-on 3D game in the genre. While looking rather blocky these days, back in late 1993 this was a sensation. And while it may look dated, it still plays extremely well. Classic!
Are you curious about Astro Bot?
I'm hopping on Twitch now to play the opening hours, and answer people's questions.
Come hang out for colourful platforming fun.
