I thought it was a diverting afternoon, and it does some things
differently enough that I have high hopes for more games made
using the same engine. The setting has a pretty original flavor. I
think it could be longer and possibly more challenging but that's
just me.
I played it with Voiceover. The game seems to have good music but
I had to turn it off to hear VO better. No sound effects, it's
more text-based. And I don't want to overpromise on the a11y, but
I did finish it with Voiceover. I do have some residual vision,
though not enough to rad anything, and I'm technical, so you r
milage may vary, but I'm happy to answer questions if you're
getting stuck.
Best,
Patrick

Having just bought your game, I was wondering whether you
needed any more beta testers.

Hi blind gamers,
Hope you're all well today. The below game, Knights of San
Francisco, is coming out
today. It's a text-based game with exploration, RPG, and combat
elements. It's on iOS and
Android, I only played the iOS version. I've been in
communication with the developer
(copied in case you want to bug him, sorry Filip) and he has
made some improvements for
access on iOS. I'd say the game is pretty playable, it's not
optimized for Voiceover like A
Dark Room or similar but I got through it without many issues.
There are some
annoyances, but no show stoppers.
If you try it, and I recommend giving it a go as it's pretty
original, here's a little advice for
Voiceover users.
1. When you make a choice, Voiceover will often start reading
from the prior choice, so
you'll have to be patient and scroll a bit.
2. In combat, the combat options are nested under elemenst that
sound like statuses. Like,
if you select the enemy's stance, you get options to throw the
enemy off balance. Direct
attacks are under the enemy's health status. It makes sense but
it took me a minute to
figure out.
3. Keep checking the map for new locations. You may need to
scroll up and down vertically
on the map to show new locations as the map is tall (not wide)
and not all elements may
appear from left/right swipes. I did sometimes feel like I was
teleporting around a bit since
I wasn't really seeing the map, but I can't say that was a huge
issue except maybe for
immersion.
4. The game is a bit short. It took me a long afternoon or so.
Might be relevant for the
value-conscious.
I've played through the beta so happy to answer questions. You
