Hey folks, while working on the prototype for our next big game project (stay tuned for that), we found a little time to partner with @AdjectiveNounGD to make a blind accessible kids game for @CBCKids. Check it out when you have a few minutes to kill. cbc.ca/kids/games/all/echo-h…

Something I should add. The game was not designed to be blind accessible like The Vale. But a successful launch, clears the path for @FallingSquirrel and @CBytesStudios to begin work on our follow up to The Vale. More details to come!
Really happy to be part of this panel and wonderful discussion!
