I don't like this font
I really don't like this font, I cannot find a way to change it. I really really hate it. It's needlessly bold and I hate it.
Prototype implementation:
So far the prototype has been used to test the implementation and functionality of certain accessibility features that I thought were hard to implement and make it work. those features are the dyslexic font implementation and the outline for crucial objects. To further broken down the progress for these features:
Dyslexic font:
The font chosen to address the accessibility of those that are dyslexic is called OpenDyslexic and can be found here. The reason why I chose OpenDyslexic are two, the first is that it is under the SIL-OFL license, which means that it is free to use for personal, educational and commercial project; the second is that from the literature review that I did, there was no unified consensus on what font was the best to use to help those that suffers dyslexia. According to the British Dyslexia Association, there is no consensus on a single optimal font to use, but the guidelines are " use sans serif fonts", which is not really helpful nor clear. Due this, I decided to look at font made for those that suffer from dyslexia and what font they use and prefer. OpenDyslexic was the most cited, hence I decided to go with it.
The final implementation is showcased in the video below
In the following weeks I will create a new blog post where I will describe how I implemented the font in the game.
Outline:
So far the outline is implemented as shown below, but I am still working on it.
The way the outline is implemented at the moment is fine, but since the aim of it is to helps those that have visual impairments to see important objects to the gameplay. To achieve that, I am trying to modify the material so it can highlight the object in a less subtle way, with the colour changing when the colourblind mode is active (red to blue for example).
Schedule
This below is the Gantt chart for the first semester.
This schedule was quite relaxed and the various sprints helped with the whole Covid-19 situation.
This below is the very very early schedule for the next couple of month, with the most important dates highlighted. I aim to have a more detail schedule for the middle of February
