Hi everyone,
I just backed this project on Patron, so yay for me. Anyhow, I'm one of the few people playing these games with a screen reader--possibly the only one now because a friend of mine quit.
Anyway, I have both a general question and an accessibility inquiry. My question is, how do I properly start the story after the intro? I've been going into Anon's having fun with Celasy and just messing around on M'enga. The first quest I encountered was to capture a Zill. Cool, but are there any good weapons I can get at this low level to survive that? First time I encountered one I didn't do too well against without some sort of weapon. Also when I played in those other saves I couldn't get the quest because Zenotech wasn't open. Now that I have it, at this state I probably can't capture one, and Peggy's Zill doesn't count right? I suppose even if it does, they're worse than the ones in the jungle if I chose to fight them Lol.
And now for my accessibility inquiry: In the latest build I got from Patren, most actions are labeled with a tag, such as the Inventory, Crew, Sleep, Fly etc in your ship. Most traveling directions are also labeled. This is great. There are some buttons that are not, however, and this is what I'd like fixed if possible.
The first button that my screen reader comes to but doesn't say what it is is the Menu button. This button appears when in a scene and I don't know what the button is properly called, but it takes me back to the main menu.
The second, also appearing in a scene is the save/load screen. I can get to this screen by clicking the menu button, and then clicking "data" but why go through two steps when an easier method is available?
The third I believe when outside of customs at M'enga is the boards button where you get the quest for the Doctor, but elsewhere, like my ship or at Tavros is the Mail system. Strangely, when I clicked to go read the board it wasn't labeled at all. When I was done with the board scene it was labeled. When elsewhere however to get to the mail system, the mail button isn't labeled, and everything for the mail screen isn't labeled.
There are other unlabeled buttons too, such as some buttons in the storage equipment interface, etc. I haven't used those yet though.
I hope to see these fixes, but I could deal with the problems until they are. I just want to know what to do on M'enga, how to unlock the other planets, etc?
Thanks everyone.
