From Indie game accessibility advice

What was said about Inertial Drift

  • Inertial Drift gave players a volume slider for each sound source. The racing game has an audio page with near-independent volume control for every sound source. This is one of the accessibility options that indie games offer.

    It is cited as an example of an indie game doing more than Riot's Valorant, which ships without subtitles despite annual revenue of a few billion dollars. The advice is to add the barebones baseline, such as subtitles, whatever the budget: "Don't be like Riot - be like these cool indie devs."
