Game Design and Accessibility: Using Stem Stumper as a Use Case
- 1. Game Design and Accessibility A case study using Stem Stumper
- 2. Who Am I? Born and Raised The Bronx, NY CMU SCS 2008 Interned at EALA on MOH:Airborne Demiurge Studios – Engineer Founded Ananse Productions November 2010
- 3. What I’m Playing Portal 2, Mass Effect and Bejewled!
- 4. Stem Stumper
- 5. Sonar Mode
- 6. Accessibility versus Usability Accessibility: Taking into account physical and mental impairments Usability: Making interaction with the game as intuitive as possible
- 7. Accessibility leads to Usability A lotof overlap
- 8. Starts with Design Needs to be a priority from the start
- 9. Overview Hearing Touch and Mobility Sight Screen Readers Resources
- 10. Hearing Approximately 36 million (17%) US adults report a form of hearing loss (NIDCD) Uncharted 2 sales = 3.8 million worldwide Includes unilateral hearing loss (loss of hearing in a single ear)
- 11. Hearing – Visual Cues Using multiple channels for information reinforces it Mobile players aren’t always listening to your game
- 12. Hearing – Stereo Papa Sangre uses binaural audio Have to hear with both ears! Avoided stereo on Stem Stumper
- 13. Touch and Mobility 14.5 million (7.1%) of Americans report a severe motion impairing disability Modern Warfare 2 Sales = 10 million US Interesting repercussions for motion gaming
- 14. Touch and Motion – Time Allowing playing at own pace
- 15. Touch and Motion - Controls Chording: require multiple button presses at the same time Virtual D-pads Stem Stumper only requires one finger! Beware of time-sensitive controls! Double tapping, not in Stem Stumper* Remapping wasn’t an issue for Stem Stumper
- 16. Sight 25 million Americans with serious vision loss (AFB) Gears of War 2 Sales = 2 million worldwide Only 10% are completely blind! Biggest concern on Stem Stumper
- 17. Sight - Symbols Helps children, those with reading disabilities, and can be more intuitive overall Still need text substitute for screen readers. Not a localization sliver bullet.
- 18. Sight – Legible Text Make sure font is always easily distinguishable from background In Stem Stumper we created a black outline around text to help it pop out.
- 19. Sight - Colorblind 10% of US men are red-green color blind (rare amongst women) Photoshop magic versus silhouettes and texturing
- 20. Screen Readers New to gaming Not supported on any console! Apple has VoiceOver built in to newer iOS models
- 21. VoiceOver Captures and preprocess input Requires multiple taps with multiple fingers Handy API
- 22. UI With Screen Readers Don’t make items disappear
- 23. UI With Screen Readers Stick with conventions
- 24. UI With Screen Readers Information (like a meter) isn’t instantly visible!
- 25. Test, Test, Test! Find testers in your target group and test Also great for building buzz!
- 26. Resources www.blindcomputergames.com 7-128 worked with audio gamers to come up with clear guidelines to present developers IGDA GASIG A lot of high level things to keep in mind WCAG 2.0 Web standard for accessibility that covers more impairments

- Game devs use accessibility to mean usability. Make the terms clear in context of this presentation
- Even if every button and label was setup for screen readers, the core concept of Photoshop can be hard for someone who’s visually impaired.
