The AbleGamers Charity has launched Accessible.Games, the charity's new website to connect progressive game developers and gamers that share a passion for bringing accessibility to game development.

AbleGamers seeks to break down the barriers of economic and social isolation for people with handicaps. Whether it's modified gaming equipment or advanced control settings in video games, AbleGamers' primary mission is bringing accessibility to all.

Accessible.Games features two core components in its goal to connect developers with the community:

  • Accessible Player Experience Portal (APX): The APX Portal is a user-friendly hub for developers to learn what it means for a game to be truly accessible. Visitors can study the “APX Triangle” and the 22 design patterns that serve as tools for developers to fine-tune their design choices and help them create highly accessible video games. 
     
  • AbleGamers Player Panels: Player Panels place a direct one-on-one bridge between gamers and game creators. The panels give players with disabilities a way to have their voices heard within the industry by testing games and directly providing feedback, while developers are able to bring an idea or an in-progress project to players with disabilities to gain deep insight and valuable accessibility feedback.
