One Life Left -- s11e18 -- #259 -- Gin and (grapefruit) juice

For the final time this season all of Team OLL was in the studio
before we broke for our summer holidays. This meant we didn't
have to wear our uniforms and we could even bring in board games
to play. Ann nearly didn't make the show on time as she was
waiting upstairs and wondering why she was hot. Ste was back from
Finland with tales of gin and grapefruit, Placebo and Finland's
answer to Justin Bieber. Simon was still developing his next game
after Bang Man! took the gaming world by storm.


And thanks to our Super-Special Guest Ian Hamilton, Simon will be
thinking of accessibility for gamers with disabilities. Ian was
on to discuss the issues in improving accessibility and it seems
that the little things matter a lot to most gamers. Annoyingly
there's no actual legal enforcement to make games more accessible
so most of the appetite to improve things is coming from the
smaller companies. But we did find out which was the first AAA
game with a dedicated blind accessibility option.


Ann had a very important Ann-nouncement, we talked tactics for
the upcoming GMAs and Marioke makes more steps into invading
Germany (which annoys the Caretaker as he prefers Monchengladbach
to Koln). GameUnder continues to work undercover and Sega Badawi
has some more local news. And even though we're on holiday you
can still contact us via the usual methods and even finish making
our game for us.


Cheerio!
Team OLL x
