Hi, I was wondering if certain visual effects in particular can be bad for the player's eyes? I know that flashing lights can trigger epilepsy to some individuals and staring at a screen for extended periods of time can be bad in general. I'm thinking about effects that can be tiring or give a heachache after short sessions (10-15 mins).
The game I am currently creating involve a blurry screen effect that is often active. I don't really have an issue while testing the game myself beside the fact my eyes seem to force a bit more than usual when trying to focus on the action, but I am worried this might affect some other players and turn them off from the game.
Regardless, if I stick with keeping the blur effect in my game, I will have a warning at the beginning of the game that suggest to the players that they take short breaks every 15 minutes and look away from the screen occasionally.
Thanks.
