Godot Accessibility Suite

An attempt at making it as easy for you to follow as many of the guidelines from gameaccessibilityguidelines.com as possible in your Godot 4.4 games.

Installation

Download it from GitHub, place the addons/gas folder in your project's addons folder, then in Project Settings enable the plugin. If you're on Godot 4.3, just find the typed Dictionary properties in the addon and make them regular dictionaries.

Usage

Run full_example.tscn (the default scene if you press F5 to run the project) to see all of the Suite's features. You can also view the source of each example page to see more usage details.

Current Status

This was originally written for Godot 3.5, and while certain parts of it have been maintained over the past year as I've worked on my main Godot 4.x project, most of the rest of this suite has fallen behind. My hope is to have it in a presentable state by the end of November 2024.

Implemented Features

• Three different ways to adjust game speed.
• Vibration/haptics intensity scaling.
• Default theme with spacing added to several container nodes.
• Control remapping utility methods (example page in progress).
• Support for providing alternatives to holding down buttons.
• Support for input cooldowns.
• Support for adjusting mouse and joystick sensitivity.
• Scalable font size for Label and RichTextLabel nodes.
• Helpers for highlighting important words.
• Utility for saving the game screen to a file.
• Saving/loading of accessibility settings.
• Accessibility Audit Tool that programatically scans scenes and scripts for some accessibility issues (still in progress).
• Configurable virtual gamepad and keyboards.
• .srt resource importing and a CaptionedAudioStreamPlayer node that syncs captions and audio.

Remaining Features

See the Issues list, but the main things are:

• Resizable/rearrangeable Control nodes.
• Dark, light, and high-contrast themes.
• Separate volume controls.
• Full subtitle/caption support.
• Improve the Accessibility Audit Tool.

Contributing

If there's a feature you want included in this suite, whether you're a game developer or a game player, create an issue for it! My goal is to make a tool helpful for everyone, so the most important thing you can do is let me know how!

And if you would like to contribute to the project with code, please do! All contributions must be made with a permissive MIT-compatible open source license to ensure as many game developers as possible have access to this code.

Other Add-ons

The following add-ons are developed and maintained by other developers, but have a comparable license (i.e. if the Godot Accessibility Suite's license is okay for your project, theirs should be, too) and may also help with various accessibility needs. We have no affiliation with the developers of these add-ons and are not endorsing them or their creators; this listing is purely informational.
