Today I'm designing for Arachnophobia accessibility! A member of our community, @LadyIrene requested this and it's a great challenge for us given one entire creature family in our game is spider themed!

A recent accessibility feature I enjoyed was turning off Mom texts in Boyfriend Dungeon. As someone who lost a parent at a young age, parents in video games have unintentionally cut me deep for years.

What accessibility features have brought you the most joy?

@drmikachu @LadyIrene Now I don't suffer from Arachnophobia, but I really like how handled this by replacing its spider protagonist with a cute little fur ball. Also, in there's a setting to gradually remove features from spider enemies, leaving only two floating blobs and a pair of red eyes at the highest level.

I'd say the House Rules in have brought me the most joy personally. Without the ability to half the enemies' HP, I'd probably have just stopped at NG+.

@njamster Very cool! I knew about the Grounded one but not about Webbed! I'll have to check out Rogue Legacy 2 also, thanks for sharing
