[Suggestion] The "Red on Black" UI is invisible for visually impaired players. This needs a fix

1 votes

I am a legally blind player with Achromatopsia. I enjoy Icarus, but I am hitting a wall that makes the game unplayable in multiplayer, and it is a problem that should have been solved years ago in game design.

The game forces Red text for player names on the map and Red icons for players on the compass. Red is used throughout the game for various indicators

For anyone with normal vision, this might just be "hard to read" at night. For those of us with vision impairments, Red on Dark Grey is mathematically invisible. It has almost zero contrast value. Because of this design choice, I cannot track my teammates. I cannot see where they are on the compass. I am effectively playing blind in a cooperative game.

To the Devs: Please stop using Red as a default indicator on any background. It is a known accessibility violation. The Fix: Give us a simple option in the settings to change Player Icon/Name colors to White, Cyan, or Yellow.
