Inaccessibility for colourblindness is caused by design choices. A design issue, not an engineering issue. The fix is design choices, not engineering workarounds. Filters are inherently exclusionary, they aren't the answer. Fix the design instead of trying to fix people's eyes.
100% this, if your approach to colourblindness is to slap full screen filters on then you're *doing it wrong* and causing more problems that you're solving. The fact that Unreal included filters doesn't mean they should have, or that you should use them. Don't. #gamedev #indiedev

With Xbox Ambassadors shutting down soon, are there any @Twitch stream teams who might be interested in an accessibility-focused streamer without sight? For me, collaboration is at the heart of #accessibility advancement, especially in #videoGames. I want to continue that trend.

This is top tier, and for reference, I am number 1 today. I am the formidable a11y foe biting the legs of the gamers who criticise devs including accessibility features in games.

We're back! Autumn has graced the first day of the new academic year with lovely hues my protanopia eyes struggle with but enjoy nonetheless. Rocking my #ProjectForAwesome tee, trans and queer love badges and a big ol' cheesy grin. Please send me badge recs as I've lost some
