Blind, Deaf & Mute Challenge
You and your friends can now take on the challenge to work together and make the Scoutmaster proud that you did not let your disabilities hold you back!
- There are powers for each role that can be used to balance the difficulty or turned off to make things REALLY tough
- Each player gets a buff separate from the role powers
- Host Handshake and Config sync so host controls game rules
- Mute player can communicate via Emoji Menu with gestures or expressions
- Roles can be randomly given or host can manually assign Blind, Deaf and Mute to players in a menu
- Find the mod in the Peak Modding Discord under #mod-releases to discuss mod related topics like issues/reports/appreciation
- Use ModConfig mod to update configs mid-game to either set up the lobby rules as host or customize your hotkeys and UI as clients!
