So! I decided to try my hand at Devtober again. And this time instead of like some big, major project, I’m just gonna do a weird little experiment. So this is Untitled Cyberpunk! A highly experimental TTRPG that I’m making for Devtober!

So I’ve still been working on Falling Leaves in the background - I’ll have some announcements there eventually - but I developed a D12 based system that I wanted to test. Combine that with a very odd little mechanic I’ve been playing with on and off for a few years now that’s inspired by the Swashbuckler and Gunslingers of Pathfinder, and you end up with this weird little concept!

i understand that some games are designed to be as frustrating as possible and im perfectly fine with that. but singleplayer splatoon 2 levels shouldnt be making me so frustrated that i wanted to bite my fingers off. its advertised towards kids.

colorblind modes: if your game relies on different colors to convey information it’s absolutely essential to include accessibility options for those who are colorblind.

screen readers: is there text on the screen that includes crucial information? provide a screen reader as an option for low-vision people.

adjustable ui size: this is very helpful for anyone who is low-vision and needs things to be larger!

closed captioning and subtitles: and not just for dialogue! do it for stuff like footsteps and guns shooting! and if you can make it so the direction its coming from is indicated.

font replacement/adjustment: dyslexia is a thing that exists! consider that when making games!

ability to turn off motion controls: self explanatory, i have occasional hand tremors and dont want to deal with that sometimes.

button remapping: it seems minor but its actually incredibly important to anyone who may not be able to use all their fingers or both hands or even have hands at all. 

options to automatically button mash or just eliminating the need to repeatedly click the same button quickly: i think thats just bad design and i havent met a single person who enjoys that in a game. anyone with arthritis, general joint pain, or limited mobility in their fingers will tell you that its not fun.

unambiguous warnings: this one is important. too many times ive seen horror games try to be cute or quirky with their trigger warnings. if you’re worried about spoilers then make the specific trigger list something you need to click to reveal, but for the love of god just. give us unambiguous warnings. 

minimizing flashing or bright colors/giving options to turn off flashing or bright colors/adequate warnings for flashing or bright colors: this should be a given but im shocked at how often this is ignored.

bonus if you really want to cover your bases. an arachnophobia mode: while arachnophobia isnt really a disability ive seen multiple cases of people not being able to play games due to their arachnophobia. this one is something that ive never seen a game do, its always 3rd party mods that deal with this. having a mode where you can replace or disable any spiders in the game would make games way more accessible to players who have arachnophobia. as common as arachnophobia is i think it would be a useful implementation for many people.

most of all: research accessibility options and get feedback from disabled and neurodivergent people!
