Fantastic #Accessibility news for a favourite game of mine:
Whilst logging into #SeaOfThieves to check the game was up-to-date, I discovered that... The Pirate Emporium Now Reads!
I couldn't find when this happened, but thanks so much to @Winwardo and colleagues!

Hi @RSPBMiddleton, please can you help identify this bird we saw from the northern lookout on Sat 14th? We're thinking Snipe or Jack Snipe, not sure how to tell apart, it was standing very still. Thanks! #birdid #birding #birdwatching

Our music team need to stay in tip-top condition to keep churning out the tunes you enjoy listening to all year, in game and out. So here's a little video to prove their dedication and say a little thank you for listening.
Have a listen now, why not? open.spotify.com/artist/5zbAdSK…

@victordimanet We've got some ideas for totally blind players on the horizon :)
English
@Winwardo I’m here when you want to test features for totally blind players. Thank you for improving accessibility continuously!

Are you a partially sighted Sea Of Thieves player, or otherwise have trouble reading in-game text such as the Riddle Maps?
We're testing a new #accessibility feature in our Insider program and would love feedback. Some (but not much) vision is required.

Please check the Insiders forum for guidance on how to enable the new feature, and for sharing feedback:

@LogicalG In the Insiders build for the next few weeks, yes. Please go to the Insiders section of the forums for instructions on how to enable, and how to give feedback, thanks :)

@mehowte What speaks these days against keeping the client lean with only native HTML form validation while having most of the heavy lifting validation on the sever with Zod only? 🙂
English
The tech stack I'd use in 2025
⏭️ Next.js
⚛️ React.js
🔗 TypeScript + Zod
❌ No Form Library
🎨 Shadcn + Tailwind
🎯 React Query (optional)
💎 Prisma + Supabase
🔒 Lucia (Oslo + Arctic)
✉️ React Email + Resend
📁 AWS S3 + IAM
💤 Inngest
😎 Coolify

@victordimanet @UnsytedRadio @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd One day we'll get there! There's a lot to untangle and improve, but we're hoping incremental improvements can get us there piece by piece

Extremely happy to see my friend @UnsytedRadio recognized for his work towards Blind accessibility in @SeaOfThieves from @RareLtd. I’m super excited that one day I will be able to play this game as a totally blind individual. Also thanks too @Winwardo #Accessibility #Blind

Writing this post right now with tears in my eyes! Thank you to the amazing team over at @RareLtd & @Winwardo for everything they do to prioritize blind accessibility in Sea Of Thieves. Totally shaking right now, because I still can’t believe my name is in the credits among all of the industry leaders and consultants I have looked up to since the day I started my career. This really helps to validate all the sacrifices I have made, and all the struggles I have been through to get to where I am today.

💖 Hire disability consultants to make your games as #accessible as they can be!
Poppy was an absolute star during consulting and her insights are helping us understand how to keep making @SeaOfThieves as inclusive as possible!
English
@AlexRoseGames My general rule of thumb is "write shit quickly as needed, but isolate it behind clear boundaries"
Unfortunately those boundaries get very blurred, very quickly in gamedev
