[Font] Dyslexic Mode

Feedback/Suggestions
#1

Similar to “colorblind mode” that other games offer, I propose adding something I’d affectionately call “Dyslexic Mode”, whereby people could click a button to change all displayed text from its usual typeface into a dyslexic-friendly version.

The open-source version of this font is called Open Dyslexic, if you’re interested.

Since Throne of Lies has a lot of text, I think this could be a really good option, though I have no idea how hard it would be to implement. I don’t personally struggle with dyslexia, but I know my husband, who does, would be much better equipped to keep up with the flow of the game if there were a dyslexic font option.

After all, colorblind mode is meant to help with visually-heavy games. It makes sense that there should be a similar option for text-heavy games as well.

Thoughts?

I was thinking a toggle button, similar to this:

You can google “Dyslexie Font” and their page has a bunch of explanations on how it helps.

Would appreciate some more opinions here. I feel like this is a perfectly reasonable suggestion, what with all the font discussion going on lately.

I actually like the suggestion.
Personally, I have quite a lot of friends who are “suffering” from dyslexia and that leads to many vocabulary and reading problems on their side. Hopefully, along with the Color blind mode, dyslexic people can have the chance to play a game without having a hard time reading.

Hope it gets implemented!

This seems like an excellent idea. I can imagine playing throne of lies with dyslexia would be very daunting.

from what i fcan tell, its a font that has letters that would otherwise be similar, like b and d, and makes them drawn to be distinctly different than eachother, thus making it harder to mix them up
