Feature Request: Blue is too close to cyan #296

Closed jimr1603 closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I find the blue tokens (villages) too close to the cyan tokens (outsiders).

Describe the solution you'd like

A bigger difference between the blue for villages and the cyan for outsiders. Consider also running the system through some colour-blind simulators to check everything's good for different types of colour-blindness.

Hey James, what exactly do you mean when you're talking about the townsfolk and outsider colors? The icons on these tokens should all be the same shade of blue, while the outlines are mostly just there because the app always had them. Originally, there shouldn't even be a color difference between Outsiders and Townsfolk (or Demons and Minions, for that matter), because color only denotes the side you're playing on (Good vs. Evil), but not the character "type".

Hi Steffen,

Hoping that reply from email works here.

Screencap from the game:

The Outsiders have a cyan outline on the token, the townsfolk a blue outline. I ended up claiming the moonchild was a townsfolk. Compare with the orange/red that's pretty clearly different between the demon and the minions

The screenshot you've tried to attach didn't load unfortunately, but I think I get the idea. On the role selection screen, the outline was more of a nice touch rather than a visual aide - throughout the game you're supposed to use the character reference sheet anyway (shortcut R), which clearly separates Outsiders from Townsfolk. With all that said, development for this app has been stopped unfortunately, and since this is not a "game-breaking" bug, it's something that will just have to stay this way. The official app (https://online.bloodontheclocktower.com/) is superior in pretty much most regards anyway. :-)
