Master’s student Adam Henderson and his game studio, Adjective Noun Studios, built alongside Agusia Kryzwinska, are changing the way people (especially children) with disability are playing video games. Many of the games on the market aren’t accessible for people who have low vision or with disability, Henderson stated that “in a lot of cases, it’s up to the player to get a controller that works for their needs, or to download software that uses screen readers”
Adjective Noun Studios is working towards the development of innovative and accessible gaming content for CBC Kids. Such as Echo Hunter a game specifically developed for children who are blind or with low vision. However, they have continued to develop more games with different accessibility needs in mind such as Fisher’s Meadow, created to cater to the needs of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, Henderson describing the game by stating that “If there is a cricket chirping, you can both hear and see it”.
Through his current studies, Henderson is focusing on game developer and the impact of considering accessibility at the beginning of a game’s creation. He continues to remain excited about the future of accessible games. To find out more, read The Brock News’ article on Adjective Noun Studios.
