Roblox is Empowering Careers Across the U.S. and Beyond Not just a platform for play — it's a powerful economic engine!

July marks Disability Pride Month in the UK, an opportunity to raise awareness of disabilities, start positive conversations and celebrate the diversity and differences of the disabled community 💛 It's no secret that accessibility can be a barrier for those with disabilities to enter the world of gaming, and there is some great work carried out by organisations and charities such as SpecialEffect and Can I Play That? to combat these issues. At Talewind, we're sharing resources with our team which highlight the work being done to improve accessibility in gaming and spotlight where there are still shortcomings. Here are some great articles which we wanted to share with our community too: 1. How Easy Surf Is Eliminating Accessibility Barriers https://lnkd.in/exn_MRds 2. A personal story from Kolo on the support received from Special Effect https://lnkd.in/eSp2EwdM 3. Double Fine Productions' talk about how the studio embraced mental health and accessibility in the development of their latest game, Psychonauts 2 https://lnkd.in/edT3SVp6 4.

In another win for parents, it'll soon be easier to judge whether a Roblox game is suitable for their child by a list of 'content labels' instead of the existing 'experience guidelines'. This means you'll be able to easily see the themes explored in a game at a glance. In addition to this, in acknowledgement of the different rate at which children develop, Roblox is updating the 'age guidelines' to 'content maturity' so that users can more easily judge to what degree the themes are explored. This change should be rolling out in the Fall of this year but we have already seen a variety of great updates to support both the players and the parents of younger users with more on the roadmap to come! 👀 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ex9CrViz #RobloxDev #GenAlpha #ParentalControl #DigitalSafety #GenZ
