Building On Rock - the past year's accessibility advances
The game accessibility field has evolved enormously over the past year, with many advances across hardware, platforms, middleware, resources, events, games and the continued growth of accessibility as a recognised discipline and job title. This session will take a look at how the landscape has shifted, where the industry is currently at, and where it needs to head in future.
Takeaway:
- Why accessibility matters to small companies
- Accessibility considerations that take little or no time, money & expertise
- Third party tools to do some of the work for you
- How to engage with the community without a user research team - Time saving workflow considerations

Develop always gets put in the diary. There are many reasons to be here, not just the talks, but the networking, people exchanging ideas about where the industry is right now and where it’s going to. It’s pretty essential to be here I think.

There’s really something for everyone at Develop and the experience of being around like-minded people is really useful.

Develop is a really great way to network, it’s also great for going to talks and finding that little tip that you didn’t know before and thinking – oh I’ll bring that back to the team!

It’s really nice to see some of the younger people in our studio come to Develop, interact with other people in the dev community and make new contacts. I think it’s really important to learn from other people.

Develop is a very important place – it’s one of the few developer focussed conferences we have in Europe and that makes it very valuable.
