Proposta de modo de acessibilidade para o jogo Nihilumbra: tornando o jogo mais acessível para jogadores daltônicos

Abstract

The interface of a game aims to allow the player to feel in control of their experience. However, before being able to interact with it, the player needs to be able to access the game, being able to recognize its elements in order to understand what is happening, thus being able to have control of their actions within the system. Color blindness is a type of deficiency in color vision that leads those who have it not to be able to visualize colors accurately, presenting difficulties in contexts where colors are the only communication channel. The objective of this work is to propose an accessibility mode for the Nihilumbra game. Thus, allowing players with color blindness to have control of their actions by differentiating the colors used as central elements of mechanics. For this, a system of symbols was proposed that can be used as a reinforcement in communication, allowing the elements to be differentiated quickly and that can be implemented in the game in a simple and inexpensive way.
