erid··on My brother passed away at the age of 23 because of a design choice
That's good to know, I went ahead to mention color blind out of an assumption though (even though I know even some web sites have them in mind), I haven't read anything about an option for epileptics, I wonder how that would work because making a game safe for epileptics is not only more work but if for some reason someone dies playing your game then you would be to blame, maybe that's because it's not done by big companies?
