Jimsnipe.5318 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Hey. Just gonna preface, love the game, however, the picture for the noxious mushroom cap is what some might consider trypophobic. Just a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 If the game catered to every phobia, mild or severe, we'd probably have little to look at or interact with. Jus' sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 This is a fairly simple one to cater to however. Trypophobia is the 'fear' of clusters of irregular holes, (like honeycomb) although fear isn't really the right word - it tends to make people feel physically sick or literally feel itchy (or both), whereas something like arachnophobia is much more of a conventional fear reaction. So all that needs to be done to address it in this case is to change the icon slightly so the black spots/holes are removed or made less noticeable. I doubt most people would even notice if it was changed and I can't imagine it will have an impact on anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimsnipe.5318 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Yeah. It's not really a phobia in the fear way, just severe discomfort. The solution to it is to just not draw/model clusters of irregular holes. It's a pretty common thing and a lot of developers steer clear of it, either because they are trypophobic themselves, or they know how notorious of a thing it is.

Dagger.2035 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 It’s good that they do cater to Equinophobia though. Those horses are scary AF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
