Today, I wanted to take you through how Deck Nine Games and Square Enix ensured that our core new gameplay mechanic &#8212; harnessing the emotions of others by tapping into blazing, colored auras &#8212; was made as accessible to as wide an audience as possible.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<h2><strong>The Power of Empathy<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>Alex Chen, our fantastic new protagonist, can see, hear, and experience the strong emotions of others as if they are her own \u2013 a psychic supernatural power.<\/p>\n<p>From the start, the team knew this power would manifest in colored auras around non-player characters (NPCs), being able to judge a character\u2019s emotional state before diving in deeper to reveal their innermost secrets.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped\">\n<ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\">\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/making-empathy-accessible-in-life-is-strange-true-colors-available-now-for-xbox-one-and-xbox-series-xs.jpg\" alt=\"Life is Strange: True Colors\" data-id=\"159600\" class=\"wp-image-159600\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/making-empathy-accessible-in-life-is-strange-true-colors-available-now-for-xbox-one-and-xbox-series-xs-1.jpg\" alt=\"Life is Strange: True Colors\" data-id=\"159599\" class=\"wp-image-159599\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/making-empathy-accessible-in-life-is-strange-true-colors-available-now-for-xbox-one-and-xbox-series-xs-2.jpg\" alt=\"Life is Strange: True Colors\" data-id=\"159598\" class=\"wp-image-159598\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/making-empathy-accessible-in-life-is-strange-true-colors-available-now-for-xbox-one-and-xbox-series-xs-3.jpg\" alt=\"Life is Strange: True Colors\" data-id=\"159597\" class=\"wp-image-159597\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The look and feel of the game\u2019s four emotional auras \u2013 blue for sadness, red for anger, purple for fear, and gold for joy \u2013 evolved numerous times over the course of development, but never strayed far from the team\u2019s creative vision.<\/p>\n<p>But <em>also<\/em> front-of-mind for the developers was how a game that uses color as an emotive narrative device could best support and include players with Color Vision Deficiency (CVD).<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<h2><strong>An Accessible Color Spectrum<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>Worldwide, there are approximately 300 million people with colour blindness, and who have one of the three main types of CVD, so we knew a sizeable proportion of our audience would be affected.<\/p>\n<p>The solution? The team developed a suite of three specific, adjustable filters, found in the Accessibility menu, addressing those main types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deuteranopia<\/strong> (a filter to make greens more distinguishable from reds)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protanopia<\/strong> (a filter to make reds more distinguishable from greens)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tritanopia<\/strong> (a filter to make blues more distinguishable from yellows)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As they tweak, players can see examples of the filters in action across all four auras, and the strength of the filter can be adjusted to personal taste.

Every part of the game was affected, from having to adapt to distributed development at home, to finding creative \u2013 and unusual \u2013 ways to capture some of the game\u2019s most stunning performances in COVID-safe environments.<\/p>\n<p>But the pandemic affected player testing, too. Traditionally, near-final code is tested by small groups of focus testers around the world, to ensure features work as planned, and with the audiences at which they are targeted. With that option largely off the table due to strict lockdowns, the teams turned to one of Square Enix\u2019s biggest resources \u2013 its own in-house staff.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/making-empathy-accessible-in-life-is-strange-true-colors-available-now-for-xbox-one-and-xbox-series-xs-7.jpg\" alt=\"Life is Strange: True Colors\" class=\"wp-image-159592\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Developing better accessibility in our titles is a key concern for <em>all<\/em> our development teams around the world, as Square Enix West Accessibility Lead Am\u00e9liane Chiasson attests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe accessibility department is new at Square Enix West and we\u2019re still learning and working towards making more accessible games,\u201d she explains. \u201cSo, we were very excited to be involved, later in development, in assisting the team on <em>Life is Strange: True Colors<\/em>. That being said, we\u2019re well aware that work still has to be done. These learnings are very important and will help us in our mission to make our experiences more inclusive. It\u2019s a journey, and we are very grateful for our community of players, disabled and non-disabled, who are taking the time to give us feedback and report barriers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was with Am\u00e9liane and the Crystal Dynamics User Research team\u2019s help that testers were recruited and set to work.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<h2><strong>Gathering Global Feedback<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>With employees in LA, Montreal, London, Paris, and Hamburg, to name just a few, the Accessibility team on <em>Life is Strange: True Colors<\/em> reached out to staff with CVD, sharing test builds and getting valuable feedback across three key sessions in late 2020. We salute those unexpected playtesters \u2013 and they got to play the game early!<\/p>\n<p>But our accessibility options don\u2019t end with color filters. As <em>Life is Strange<\/em> is such an accessible series by nature, with gameplay drawn from exploration and conversation rather than fast reactions, we\u2019ve always endeavoured to improve accessibility from game to game. For example, we know that color filters are not the be-all, end-all solution for addressing CVD-related barriers. In the future, we hope to be proactive earlier in the design phase on our games, to avoid having those barriers to begin with.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/making-empathy-accessible-in-life-is-strange-true-colors-available-now-for-xbox-one-and-xbox-series-xs-8.jpg\" alt=\"Life is Strange: True Colors\" class=\"wp-image-159602\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/making-empathy-accessible-in-life-is-strange-true-colors-available-now-for-xbox-one-and-xbox-series-xs-9.jpg\" alt=\"Life is Strange: True Colors\" class=\"wp-image-159601\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>From adjustable subtitle and text sizes and fonts to being able to adjust the speed at which you need to make timed dialogue choices, many aspects of the game can be tweaked.<\/p>\n<p>New for <em>Life is Strange: True Colors<\/em> are toggles to skip gameplay that may require particularly dextrous inputs, and optional warnings before sudden instances of brightness or volume.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<h2><strong>Creating Accessibility Beyond the Game<\/strong><\/h2>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<p>On Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, accessibility also extends beyond what\u2019s coded in-game through the controller accessibility options opened up to everyone on the platform, through the brilliant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-GB\/accessories\/controllers\/xbox-adaptive-controller\">Xbox Adaptive Controller<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Working with the team at Xbox, we explored even more ways to build accessibility into the game and following our close collaboration on previous <em>Life is Strange<\/em> titles it became clear the options are always expanding when you think of the player at the core of your strategy.<\/p>\n<p>In talking with Xbox\u2019s Gaming for Everyone Director Katy Jo Wright, she shared her vision on how developers like Deck Nine Games can have a tremendous impact on so many avid players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we intentionally focus on those who cannot experience the joy of a game and strive to solve for them, we\u2019re often unintentionally opening a door for many more to come in and join,\u201d she says. \u201cThis inclusive and accessible design is a core principle at Team Xbox as we want to provide experiences where everyone can play.
