Inclusive design is a nice touch within the gaming industry, as it includes everyone from all sorts of ability, race and ethnicity, something that allows anyone to do anything someone could do.
Inclusive design is a very prominent feature or theme within the industry. Most games now have a color-blind assist feature, which allows the users to change the color to suit their needs. Some has audio voice over in the main menu or in the UI (user-interface) to help those with visual impairment. Some games have other subtitles, other than the dialogue subtitles, so that people who are deaf, can have a feel on how the ambient noises are. I believe that these things, the audio, subtitles and the color-blind assist feature should be included in everything, not only the gaming industry.
However, what I am against, is when developers and game companies turn away or change history to appeal to people with different opinions on different topics. Some games would go out of their way - in terms of story - to put in a homosexual or a bi-sexual people with different genders or sexual preference as one of their characters. I am not saying I have anything against them, however, I feel like putting these characters in the story, with no purpose whatsoever, is a waste of time, unless these characters play a vital role in the story. A game that executes inclusive design is the Mass Effect series, excluding the latest one, Mass Effect: Andromeda. In Mass Effect, you play as Commander Shepard, and the game features a character customization at the start of the game. The players can choose the gender of Commander Shepard, his background and even his sexual direction. Not only do they include that, but they even include other types of inclusive design features, like the color-blind assist, audio voice overs and subtitles that capture everything within close proximity of the player.

ReplyDeleteThe definition of a game of skill is a game where the result is determined generally by mental and/or physical skill, as opposed to pure chance or luck. The appeal of these games lies in the fact that not only do players revel in the challenge and the wide variety of game choices/types, but also the mention of checkers, dominoes, hangman and jigsaw puzzles brings on fond childhood memories. Most of us then graduated to rummy, backgammon, scrabble and the ultimate challenge-chess. While skill games will never replace casino gambling online or off in popularity, it is a universal internet topic with a multitude of sites offering free or tournament play. I classify 7 skill game types as follows: Card, Board, Dice, Tile, Word, Puzzle and Sports Games. Murahqq Pkv
ReplyDeleteEver since the advent of video games, there have been debates on the pros and cons of gaming. While there is no denial that gaming sharpens a number of skills of the child, it also stands for a fact that the addiction of gaming can have dire health consequences. Apart from health risks, an addiction to gaming also brings along a non-social temperament that leads to stalled emotional growth. 카지노사이트

ReplyDeleteThe reign of the Xbox is almost over. As of late the PS3 has been looking better and better. Looks like 2008 will be the year of the PlayStation. PlayStation 3 has many big name titles coming out this year and if the all games from the list are all actually released this year, all we can say is WOW. Note: The following list in no way represents the entire list of exclusive titles for each console. However, it gives us a pretty good idea of the games rumored to be released this year. ترفند بازی انفجار
