Accessibility in Video Games
I am an university student studying computer science at the University of Newcastle. I am currently in my third year conducting my dissertation on accessibility in video games to shed light and spread awareness of the importance of these features in video games. My focus on this assignment is on those with a hearing impairment and/or a visual impairment.

This is a quick survey that will allow me to prove my point and help me design guidelines developers should consider when creating these features and ensure they add them in their game in order to make them more accessible for users.
