Inclusive games: Accessible game design for the visually impaired

Abstract

Accessible game design is a key effort aimed at creating games that transcend physical and cognitive limitations. By carefully integrating a series of functions and strategies, designers empower players with various abilities to participate in the interactive field. Resolve visual barriers through high contrast visual effects, scalable fonts, and alternative color dependent information. Auditory elements are accompanied by visual cues or subtitles to ensure that the game narrative can be understood by auditory impairments. By utilizing customizable controls, motion sensitivity adjustments, and optional input methods, motion challenges are overcome. Recognize cognitive diversity by providing clear explanations, intuitive interfaces, and adjustable rhythms. This inclusive approach promotes innovation and encourages developers to explore new paths in game design, resonating with a wider range of users. As the gaming industry places increasing emphasis on usability, it emphasizes the industry's commitment to equal participation, while enhancing the creative process of each participant and enriching game gameplay.
