OpenDyslexic Thousand Rooms
Hello everyone!
The latest version of Thousand Rooms isn't a translation perse, but an English version with a typeface designed by Abbie Gonzales against some common symptoms of dyslexia. The font is called OpenDyslexic, it is open-source, and available for download right here on itch.io!
Edit: We're open to producing more versions with different fonts. Let us know if you find the OpenDyslexic font challenging.
In Abbie's words, "OpenDyslexic is created to help with some of the symptoms of dyslexia. Letters have heavy weighted bottoms to indicate direction. You are able to quickly figure out which part of the letter is down which aids in recognizing the correct letter, and sometimes helps to keep your brain from rotating them around. Consistently weighted bottoms can also help reinforce the line of text. The unique shapes of each letter can help prevent confusion through flipping and swapping."
Enjoy!

It’s maybe worth making versions with a few other dyslexic-friendly typefaces like Lexend and Atkinson Hyperlegible as well. OpenDyslexic isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for dyslexic readers because it was designed for a specific type of dyslexia that its creator had, and for a lot of dyslexic people with different types it can actually make readability worse than something like normal fonts like Helvetica or Comic Neue.
Again, there is no one-size-fits-all for dyslexia as there’s different types. But it would be nice to have different dyslexic-font versions in regards to that.
Apologies, we could have phrased that better, we certainly didn't mean to imply that it was indeed a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. If anything, we wanted to see if people were interested in it.
We're 100% open to making more versions, especially if someone reads the OpenDyslexic version we released and finds it challenging. We'll make more versions as time permits, although we've got to limit it to English for now because we make these mods by hand(and it does take time).
Thanks for your message and recommendations :>
