I don’t have epilepsy but dang, it’s actually a really pleasant color scheme you’ve got going here! There are different kinds of epilepsy but when I work on games I try to keep strobing as tame as possible if I have something flashing or cycling through a lot of colors…this has me thinking more about this though, and of my choice of colors…I don’t think I tend to pick “eye strain” colors either, but as I know someone on NG with epilepsy, I want em (and everyone for that matter) to have a good time!

Thanks! I'm glad you think my color choices are pleasant! And YES, we as a community appreciate when other people take us into consideration! It doesn't happen that often sadly, so when an artist does let us factor in (even a little bit) it makes a HUGE difference! It helps with awareness too! Super cool stuff! :]
While there are multiple types of epilepsy and everyone experiences theirs differently, a general rule of thumb is that strobe lights and high-contrast rapid colors are typically a common visual trigger. Reds and blues specifically are a HUGE risk when flashing quickly, same with bright magenta and cyan. Any color combination can be a risk if they're moving fast enough, but anything blue and red are usually the riskiest. If you want to be safe about it, make the colors de-saturated and/or low contrast, and have the rotations move slowly.
If at the end of the day that's not your thing, it's nice to have a warning included as a precaution! Or if it's a bigger game/etc I've seen people include an option to just turn the flashing off. Either way, it's very nice to be considered! You're super cool for just wanting to include us! :]
