Chrysa Bika
At GodotFest 25, Chrysa will explore the critical role of human-centered research in making game development more accessible and inclusive. This session will advocate for co-designing with players at the center, presenting approaches, methods, and practical guidelines for incorporating accessibility and DEI into game development with Godot from the start.

Session
This talk explores the critical role of human-centered research in making game development more accessible and inclusive. In both everyday life and leisure activities, people with impairments, as well as underrepresented groups, often face exclusion—sometimes unintentionally, but with lasting impact. Leading a self-determined life is a fundamental right for everyone, and this is not only a moral imperative but also reflected in legal frameworks demanding equal access and participation.
