Re: infini crawl, text dungeon crawling rpg similar to the wastes.
I'm wondering, have you thought about using Aria for your info text box... Making the Stats Traits Prestige Heirloom, have shortcuts might be nice...
You could also use aria live regions instead. That may require a little more work to implement
I will look into aria regions. Keyboard shortcuts were a planned improvement already. Are there some keyboard shortcuts that I should avoid that might conflict with screen reader shortcuts?
At the moment as I said you don't seem to be able to look at the stats of the gear individually, but that might change in the future, though the names should tell you what is what, personally I always went with the highest level stuff I could find.
This should be fixed in the newest update (might have to do a hard refresh on the page to see it).
It might also be nice if the examine button had a label, since most people using screen readers have punctuation turned off, so when I first found the button I didn't realise that it had a question mark on it.
It actually has a magnifying glass emoji in it. It might be rendered as a question mark for you though. I'll get some better labels on some of the graphical things (the inspect icon, trash icon, etc). I had hoped that by using emojis is would be more compatible, since its not an image at all.
You can try the open source screen reader NVdA at https://www.nvaccess.org/ which should give a good idea of what works how.
I'll definitely check that out!
Hi,
I am experiencing a bug. After having a lot of fun with this yesterday, I've just gone back into the game, and absolutely nothing is showing up in the events textbox. I am not sure what's happening. This means, that at the moment, I can't really play the game at all at the moment. Also, the scene is no longer advancing when I click explore, but it's saying that my health is at 20.
I simply clicked easy to start a new game, although I did notice a save in the box. Also, everything is saying NaN, instead of damage and such, under trates.
I'm trying to play via Itch.io, which worked absolutely fine yesterday. I've tried forgetting the website, I've tried putting nothing in the save box, and I've even tried switching difficulties.
There is also no progress bar for next level. This read fine yesterday.
Interestingly, I've launched the game in Chrome and it seems to show the events dialogue, but no progress bar. Then, playing the game in Firefox no longer works, as said earlier, there's no events box, no advancing scenes and you also can't fight enemies.
I'm not able to reproduce this, I've checked on Firefox and Chrome on the local version, on my website, and on itch.io they all work the same for me. This may be due to some local setting that you have. I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this. The only thing that I can think that might be wrong is if you have a security setting that is disallowing _javascript_ either partially or fully. It could be a browser plugin/addon conflicting with it. There was an update to the game yesterday though, is anyone else experiencing similar issues? A hard refresh might fix them, or trying to play in an incognito/private tab. Let me know if any of that works for you.
I knew about, and have always known about the search feature, but still have never found gear. I find potions, food, and gold, but have never found anything else at all while playing. And Yes! I do search every single room.
There is a bug with the message window that occasionally happens around searching though. Sometimes after you search, it won't actually say what you've found or that you haven't found anything until you go to another scene, at which point it will catch up. A minor annoyance, but just thought I would share it.
I haven't experienced that bug yet. The "catching up" portion seems like local latency, it may be due to a browser plugin slowing down _javascript_'s responses. Since there is no networking or internet connectivity to slow things down, it has to be simply processing speed. I can try to work on optimizing the code to run more efficiently (which is something I'm always working on, but I can target it to that specific mechanism), but if there is something specific about your setup I likely wont be able to fully troubleshoot it.
For the searching, I guess it is slightly possible that you are just very unlucky and haven't found any gear. It's never happened to me after a thousand or so times playing through, but it is theoretically possible. Do you have a way to copy/paste your events tab here so I can read the log?
EDIT: Also, I downloaded NVDA and am using it to optimize the layout/controls and feedback from the game. I added a "polite" alert to the event box so it'll read it to you as it updates, so you don't need to keep going back to it. BUT, the reverse order that it logs the events makes it read weird, so I'm going to reorder that. Hopefully it makes the game a lot more enjoyable.
