There were a few challenges I faced when developing this game. The two major ones were the sound and the level design gameplay.
With the sound, I constantly needed to get the right sounds and needed to place and adjust the sound cues correctly. The narration also needs to be adjusted. Some sounds need to be dietetic and some need to be removed.
As for the second level, I needed to add a new mechanic that complements the existing gameplay while not adding too many sound cues for the blind to remember. It was also difficult as the game is one-dimensional. I thought about taking the predator idea where the mechanic is still the same as before. If the player goes near it, they lose a fish. The problem is implementing it. With the game being one-dimensional, it is very hard for the player to avoid it. If both the fish and predators are on the left, then the player cannot get across it and will have to wait. There were 2 solutions that I thought of.
The last challenge I faced is pretty common and that is the code.
