Visual and audio alternatives in video games
summary
Prototype action RPG Robin Tech showcases concrete accessibility choices and working features: adjustable dialog timing, subtitle visibility, background opacity and outlines, large/localizable text (English/Italian) and Atkinson Hyperlegible font; color‑blind filters with severity slider (including deuteranopia/protanopia/tritanopia and achromatopsia), Windows contrast checks; adaptive HUD that expands in combat, lock‑on auto lock on toggle, separate invert axes, camera sensitivity, motion blur and bloom off switches, cutscene skip/pause, remappable controls and sprint toggle, per‑channel audio sliders and spatialized attenuation so music, SFX and voice change appropriately during fights — all demonstrated working in gameplay clips.
