For those who don’t know, Misophonia is a disorder where you have severe emotional reactions to seemingly insignificant sounds (such as snoring or eating). I suffer from this, and it can make it very hard to enjoy the game at times, because people sometimes intentionally use the emote mechanic to make a lot of sounds at once, and I’ve had to step away from the game at times because of this. I was thinking there should be a menu that allows you to mute certain sounds (like slurping, chewing, snoring, etc.) to make the game more accessible for people like me.

I do hope that the feature freeze doesn’t include accessibility features. It’s always a nice thing to add them for players that need them.
I’d also like to mention autism in the discussion, since that also affects how people react to sounds. (let’s be honest, a disproportional chunk of the community is most likely autistic)
Also, please let us mute or cooldown all the scream noises. Or plushie noises in general. Because spamming the human scream sound seems to be an oddly popular passtime.

My misophonia is most likely caused by autism actually but I called it misophonia mode because some people are affected by it while being allistic.
Maybe have a pop up at the top of people’s heads who have this turned on “you hear a scream” or something as there are legitimate gameplay reasons to scream. It happens as much as it does because there is a button for it.
Hm. This request seems pretty doable. I’ll see what I can do.
This would be good to have for general hearing accessibility, and could probably work the same way Minecraft does.

Don’t worry, accessibility is fine in the feature freeze and strongly encouraged

Something like this would be great. I really hate the sound of the squishing emote in particular, and people love to spam it.
this is 2/3rds of why i wrote this, ive never come closer to mass rdm then being in a room with a slime who constantly squishes

Technically speaking, it’d be optimal to instead of mute a sound, you replace it with a sound of your choice, so you can detect snoring/eating/slimeventory events. If you have this on, how are you going to know if someone is incapacitated from Nocturine and in the walls? Or what about a slime stealing things and putting it in their slimeventory? Or a mouse in a kitchen eating all the ingredients?
