  1. Happy #screenshotsaturday ! I love pixel art but it takes me a long time to make, so I often look for ways to mass produce pixel art with minimal hand editing.

    Here is a technique I used in my most recent prototype, a SNES style brick breaker called ooOoo.

  2. 🟦 EXTRA RESOURCES

    One of the best resources you can find on accessibility is "Game Accessibility Guidelines".

    It includes tips and examples for motor, cognitive, visual, hearing and speech impairments.

  3. If you have already built your own custom game controller, I highly suggest you to have a loot at alt.ctrl.GDC! 🕹️

    This is the most popular exhibition of custom game controllers, and they are accepting submissions right now! This year this is particularly relevant as alt.ctrl.GDC is putting a spotlight on devs making controllers that have accessibility in mind. ♿️🎮

  4. And companies like Arduino, Raspberry Pi and makey makey made custom electronics approachable and affordable. 🕹️

    If you want to create your own alternative controller (but have not idea where to start!), I'd suggest having a look at this guide! 👇
