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! #A11Y

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…

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. seaofthieves.com/insider

@rwieruch @mehowte I often have forms with dynamic numbers of nested entries, sometimes optional data, and sometimes data from outside the form. I've not yet found a really nice way to handle that in FormData. Would love to be wrong!

@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? 🙂

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
Chad Michael Bouton@UnsytedParasyte

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.

@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

I feel like there's a big benefit to writing shit exactly as and when you need it if you have your own solo codebase without a team touching it

do you think there is a learnable skill to architecting code for future proofing or do you think the real skill is just writing code that's just generic enough to tack onto later and specific enough to do what you need today?
