So, I’m thinking of letting the user change the color of UI elements in the game, such as backgrounds of UI, Text color, etc.
But I think some users can actually ruin the aesthetic of the game if they choose some dull colors, So I am not entirely sure about this idea. (Maybe I can provide readymade color palettes to choose from instead of letting the user choose individual colors.)
What are your thoughts? Should I implement this?
i think have set fonts and colors to pick
I generally wouldn’t provide any such options unless you have reason to believe your default colors may not be usable by some users (e.g. due to color-blindness), or are likely to just really, really hate the ones you chose.
And even then, you might consider making your game moddable to that extent, i.e. load the colors from config files that can be modified, rather than making these options in the game UI. That will keep most users from mucking with them, but if somebody really wants/needs to, they can. (And it takes your first step towards making your game moddable in general, which I always think is a good thing.)
I don’t really see the point to this outside of the already mentioned color blindness. But if I were going to do this I’d probably go the route of making several themes you let the player choose from instead of individual colors. As least in the game interface. You could give more control in a mod system.
