Accessibility for disabled users

Hi, I just pre-ordered the Forced Induction Edition. Have you done any accessible testing?

Mostly this is having multiple means of input to a control (mouse and keyboard do the same thing) and color contrast testing for low vision disabilities.
In my situation I use the windows 7 onscreen keyboard and a mouse. Others may only be able to the keyboard.

I am very excited about Automation!

We haven't done any Accessability testing, no, but if once the demo comes out you can have a go and suggest any changes that could make it easier to use for you, that'd be great, and we'll do our best to help where we can

I am actually a software tester by trade. So, if you gave me a beta I would gladly give an early test pass now. It would give you ideas on the undeveloped areas.

Re: Accessibility for disabled users

This is quite a good point and certainly overlooked by major developers for get little ones :shock:

My issue is colours, mainly shades or similar colours.. I can't play team shooters because red and green are a nightmare lol :oops:
