I think games are fundamentally different from other software in many ways. For example, games tend to revel in selectively sharing information (Tunic for example) in a way that regular software doesn't. It's hard to apply lessons from one to the other.
- TomatoCo 2y agoI can't recall which standup comedian it was, but he had a bit about games where they're the only form of entertainment that tests you. A song doesn't make you dance along to continue. A book doesn't quiz you on its themes and slam shut if you're wrong. For some games, being hard to play is their point. That's why accessibility is great to make games where that isn't their point more, uh, accessible. And maybe even those hard games should have accessibility, I haven't given that front enough thought yet.
