Please make the game more accessible for the deaf (Sharks)

[Bartrack]

I'm deaf, and I just picked this up because it looked fun. However, I ran into a problem, there's no visual indicator that a shark is attacking my raft. I'd have to constantly scan my raft to ensure that it didn't latch on to a tile. But often, when I was in middle of doing something such as crafting something, the shark attacks and breaks a tile before I even notice.

This is a game-breaker for me. Yes, I could play it on easier difficulty, but I just need an visual alert of some sort that informs me that my raft is under attack and I'd be able to respond in a timely manner. Thanks

Don't see no problem adding such feature, though it probably should be an option that is off by default.

In the meantime you could use mods to make shark not attack your raft. There is also a mod called SharkAlarm that adds an icon fades from white to red when the shark gets near.

Thanks, that mod looks like it'd help with the problem. However, when I try and download the modloader, Chrome blocked it, saying it's a dangerous file. This despite they saying they bought a certificate and signed the files. I'm a bit leery about this.

I am deaf as well. This is frustrating for me. I can hear a little bit on my left ear. I use the following for game sounds and music:
Sennheiser HD 700
Schiit Vahalla 2 AMP
Schiit Biforst Multibit DAC

All games/music I always set them to max but on my AMP, I always set them to between 50% to 65% for comfortable hearing. I don't have any trouble with it in all games except this one.

This game's volume is ridiculous. I have to turn my AMP to max to be able to hear seagull/shark but that only work if they are very close to me.

As a deaf guy, I would prefer to have visual indicating of shark and seagulls on my raft. Volume in-game definitely need to be fixed, it's ridiculously low.

Accessibility should be in the game already not from mods.

This is a great idea! I may not be deaf, but I rarely manage to actually hear the shark, or sea gulls for that matter. A visual indicator would be great!

I have deaf friends and this actually come across my mind as I wondered if I invited them to get this how would respond to an attack? Visual for shark attack would be great
