In the creative gamemode, it spawns the Deku Smash attacks every roughly 20 seconds, and you get three. And since there's roughly 16 people in each lobby, it goes off pretty much constantly.
The Deku Smash has a very strong strobe light effect. And *no* warning. Nothing, at all, has indicated that it causes these strobe lights. No toggle, no pop-up, no alert. Nothing.
As someone with photosensitive epilepsy, who still has absent seizures pretty much weekly, this isn't only a huge oversight on the dev team and accessibility team, but it's dangerous. People forget that seizures are life threatening. If I hit my head on my desk hard enough if it triggered a seizure, it could kill me. I could also have lifelong injuries from brain damage, or say I broke a bone, or something else. If I was home alone and I was eating something, I could choke on it and die.
I am BEGGING the developers, please. Do something about these flashing lights. The fact I can't play the game until this event is over to protect my real life safety is completely insane and unfair. I don't care if it makes it "less canon to the anime," because I feel like the life and safety of the player base is more important, no?
EDIT: This post reached the devs who have now put a warning both on Twitter and when you inspect the mode in Creative. Thank you all so much for getting this to the right people and having something done about it. It means so much.
