Digital game technologies, that is, games and emerging game-based applications, are pervasively spread in society as a means of entertainment, education and exercise, amongst other uses. With this popularity, attention has been directed towards the accessibility of these technologies to people with disabilities to ensure equity, equal access to opportunities and realize earnings from a significant customer group. This study investigates: How is the attention of academic game accessibility research divided across game technologies, disability categories and use domains? And where is attention needed? To answer these questions, I conducted a review of research (162 manuscripts) on game technologies’ accessibility published between 2016 and 2020, inclusive. The reviewed literature appears to have a utility focus (e.g. on education and health management) that relatively de-emphasizes the importance of game accessibility for entertainment or fun purposes. Auditory, motor and mobility disabilities, and emerging gamification, exergames, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are especially under researched in the academic domain.

“…They should provide appropriate challenges so that the player's skill level can be easily matched by varying the level of difficulty [14]. The player may have difficulties in interacting with the game, in case of disability for instance [39,40]. The game should be evaluated for its accessibility [7].…”

Games and/or play are often used in educational context as mediation. The resulting teaching or training activitys are however difficult to assess. To set up a model to allow evaluating these activitys, we choose to enrich an existing grid, that was developed in 2006 by Sara de Freitas and Martin Oliver, centered on pedagogical considerations. We propose to add dimensions relating to the game, the humans involved, and their interactions with the game. The resulting grid takes into account COntext, LEarner, Course scenario, Teacher, plaY aNd Game, making the Colectyng framework. The model was then confronted to literature to see if we could complete the grid and whether all elements could fit in the model, assuming that the collecting framework would act as a meta-model. Altogether our analysis suggest that the colectyng framework indeed acts as a metamodel that could give a general view and could facilitate the articulation between more specialized models.

“…Thus, the creative units or communities of specialists [10] such as programmers and artists, need to have knowledge and skills about inclusive game design and accessibility. This in turn requires education, where useful advice can be found in [47][48][49][50]. Educational activities should also consider the occupational community [22] structure of the game industry where staff works on a project basis, for instance with a pool of open educational resources [51] that can be freely shared within the industry rather than in-house resources.…”

INTRODUCTION: The problem addressed in this work is the lack of knowledge of what inclusive game design would mean in practice within existing design processes of game companies. A pilot project was devised to involve both the game industry and disabled people. OBJECTIVES: The goal in this study was to identify activities that constitute the biggest obstacles to realising sustainable design processes for inclusive game design. METHODS: The study is mainly based on two full-day workshops with the game industry and three game studios, three organisations of disabled youth and authorities. RESULTS: Five activities were identified in the analysis of the workshops: 1) Find opportunities for inclusive game design; 2) Raise awareness about inclusive game design; 3) Handle integrity and security; 4) Recruit the right competence; and 5) Adapt workplaces and tools. CONCLUSION: The five main activities should be considered to achieve sustainable inclusive game design processes.
