Our latest project, Minesweeper, launched today in partnership with Netflix. Congratulations to the team on achieving this milestone and we are proud to continue our collaboration with the streaming service as they grow their gaming platform. In this new take on Minesweeper, players traverse the globe to disarm mines in a variety of scenic locations, collecting stickers and posters as souvenirs of their Journey. Our players can also build win streaks and earn emblems in our Daily Challenge mode, which features three new puzzles each day of varying difficulty; the most dedicated Minesweeper fans can also challenge themselves to Custom Games, where they set the map size and the rules. Players with an active Netflix account can download the game on both Google Play and the App Store. #gamedev #newgame #gamedevelopment

If you want more people to love your game, have you thought about making it accessible to disabled players? Players with accessibility needs are part of your target audience. 🦾 There are millions of them worldwide. Disabled players account for 31% of US gamers and 29% in the UK. Consider all the budget, time, sweat, tears of despair (and joy) you've already put into your title. Why would you keep it unplayable for thousands of players among your target audience, leaving real money on the table? We've identified some 💡typical low hanging fruits💡 if you don't know where and how to begin but agree that game accessibility should never fall on the back burner. 🔹Allowing players to skip or pause cutscenes ensures that those with cognitive or attentional difficulties can enjoy the narrative at their own pace. It’s a small change which can make a huge difference in a player’s experience. 🔹Ensuring all dialogue and important audio cues are accompanied by subtitles and closed captions helps players who are deaf or hard of hearing to fully engage with your game's story and mechanics – even more so when the text size, font and background opacity can be adjusted. 🔹Allowing players to customize controls to suit their needs can be a game-changer for players with limited motricity, or lack of fine motor skills, providing them with the flexibility to play comfortably and independently. 🔹A colourblind-friendly design ensures that your game does not rely on colour to convey information, which is key in including colourblind players in your experiences. Alternatively, allowing players to customise the colour palette is a great way to circumvent this barrier. 🔹Providing audio description for cutscenes, on-screen action and narration for menus will greatly help your visually impaired players navigate and immerse into the game’s story and its interfaces. 🔹Being transparent with players about which accessibility considerations are present in the game is a great way to build trust with the community, by allowing them to make informed purchase decisions. You can add this information on your game’s official website and share via social media posts. These are just a few starting points. There's so much more you can do to make your game accessible. Let's talk about how we can collaborate to make your game a shining example of inclusivity and accessibility in the industry. Reach out to us to get started! P.S. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a game offering plenty of accessibility options. Check out the video below to get a better idea of the above. #AdvancingAccessibility
