Hey Campers! ????
We’ve got a very exciting update to share with you today ????
We recently organised a behind-the-scenes day for creators with various needs and understandings of the importance of accessibility options in games to have a hands-on experience with Pine Hearts!
Safe In Our World ambassadors therealpengy and Phoebe Hesketh, and content creators psykit and mousewastaken, advocate for and are involved in supporting accessibility and mental health awareness in games. We wanted to give them a hands on opportunity to test our accessibility features and learn more about the game's story and themes and why building something inclusive was so important to us at Hyper Luminal Games.
They got to chat with members of the team including Creative Director Rob Madden, UX/UI Designer and Accessibility Lead Searra Leishman, and Social and Community Coordinator Melissa Cocker about all things Pine Hearts. As well as testing various accessibility settings and our accessibility hardware set up for events, we chatted about the origins of the game's stories and themes.
You can see how the day went and hear more from everyone involved in the video below!
