I found this resource on inclusive game design:

> ## [Game Accessibility Guidelines](http://gameaccessibilityguidelines.com/)
> 
> Supporting the industry since 2012, through award winning guidance and examples of how to cater for gamers with disabilities and other impairments
> 
> _“A collaborative effort between a group of studios, specialists and academics, to produce a straightforward developer friendly reference for ways to avoid unnecessarily excluding players, and ensure that games are just as fun for as wide a range of people as possible.”_
> 
> ### [How to work with the guidelines](http://gameaccessibilityguidelines.com/why-and-how/)
> 
> These guidelines are in three categories – basic, intermediate and advanced. These levels are based on a balance of three things:
> 
> - Reach (number of people who benefit)
> - Impact (the difference made to those people)
> - Value (cost to implement)
> 
> They are then grouped in sub-categories that relate to types of skill / impairment: motor, cognitive, visual and speech, and also some general considerations that apply to all areas.
