Color blindness

Another colourblind gamer here.

I have played games for years and had these problems the whole time. Its more frustrating when your in a multiplayer fps environment and you end up letting down, or team-killing, your team mates. Not only do you get a torrade of abuse (mostly tounge in cheek) but you also don’t feel like your giving all you can.

I’ve never considered it to be a disability in real-life or gaming but it is definate annoyance.

Its very difficult to explain to ‘non-colourblind’ people what colours you see or don’t see as I have only ever seen colours from my perspective. I can only tell them that sometimes I dont see the cross-hair (which means I tend to use the scope all the time) and in some games I see the name (tags) colour as the same.

As for shading ‘in-game’ I have no clue what is seen by other people. I may think I am in good cover and I may be in plain sight to others.

As for puzzle games, I tend to avoid them as I know I won’t be able to play them, I will give Peggle a go but apart from that its just depressing knowing these games are intended for kids and I can’t play them.

I read through the article and it was interesting! I'll make sure to keep color blind people in mind if I ever create a game, and I'll try to make the devs of the indie games I'm following aware of this so everyone can play their games.

just had to leave a comment hoping maybe some dev's will see it.

I am colorblind and suffered a lot because of it, no point going into detail, but I can assure you it hasnt been pleasant.

I also love gaming, and I play on a competitive level and I perform very well, but color blindness has usualy held me back from truly reaching my potential. (Sounds a bit lame since I'm talking about a game, but I find games fun, especially when taken a bit seriously)

I would like to thank the people who add colorblind mode to games.
Some games are unplayable because im colorblind and I truly appriciate it when devs make them compatible for us with colorblindness.

Noticed Bad Company 2 have added this, I am not sure exactly what they changed, but I want to thank them for doing this.

Over 10% of all guys are colorblind, meaning probably atleast 9% of all gamers are, so it is a big crowd of people affected by something that wont take that much time developing.

Just hire some colorblind beta-testers and they can tell you what is hard to see, and what isn't.

Good article.
Got a link from Battlefield Bad Company 2 forum where we are discussing problems with color blindness in the game. I am also color blind and have similar problems in real life and games.
