@Super_Crip1994 I've just been made aware of this due to a twitter hiatus, it's left me numb - I referenced a lot of Bank's work when I started advocating for accessibility at work, and followed Coty's work too.
Thank you for investigating and sharing, it can't have been easy.

There's been an update to the @AtomfallGame accessibility page, including some images of the accessibility menu and some FAQs (link at the bottom of the page).

Updates include: Melee Assistance, UI Colours, and Motion Sickness support!

In a couple of hours, I'll be doing a presentation about the role of a Designer to probably the largest audience I've ever stood in front of at the @StaffsGamesDev Let's Talk Games event.

Excited and very nervous. And with my sore throat I'm probably gonna sound like a robot 🤖

[Vicky B @Designer_VickyB]

I'm preparing a talk for a local games conference for students, and decided to dig through some old blogs for some materials.

Here's a real throw-back: How did I become a Games Designer?

It was our honour to sponsor #WarwickshirePride in Leamington Spa over the weekend! 🏳️‍🌈

🌈 Our team loved being part of the parade, representing the local games industry, and feeling the love on the day! It’s a genuine honour to work with such a brilliant and diverse team, and Third Kind will continue to champion the rights of the LGBTQI+ and continue to support our LGBTQ+ colleagues, friends and family as a studio 🏳️‍⚧️ 🎮

Tor (one of our TKG pet mascots) also came runner-up in the Pride dog show — look how proud he is 🥰 🐶
