This is an awesome game and idea for a game engine, we definitely need more accessible RPG's. I'm sorry I wasn't able to get very far during the stream, but on my subsequent playthrough I built a full party and got into the temple where I promptly got wrecked by a vampire's AOE fireball.

Regarding suggestions, having to activate options with space instead of enter is something I have to get used to - it's messing with my muscle memory a bit. Apart from this, like I suggested during the stream changing the navigation so that you were told which directions arent blocked with sounds, with the arrow keys directly moving you and perhaps adding CTRL or Shift with arrow keys to look around the way you can now would make the game flow a bit faster. I'd also love to be able to get the status of other party members, either in battle or in the party menu IE if I press shift on a character while I'm selecting a target for healing, same goes for the enemies even if it wouldn't give me an exact health value and instead say something more vague like they are slightly injured, mortally wounded and so on.

I really hope you keep working on this engine or at the very least this game, because so far it's looking great!

There is an audience for a BVI-accessible engine to create RPGs, especially one that can handle menu UI and graphics. Extremely impressive work, not just because this is a working, feature-filled, Blind-accessible RPG built in a month. Long-term, this tool could be a huge step forward, empowering players to make the games they actually want.

Excellent demonstration of your custom engine and its features. The speech implementation is great. It would be nice to call out when an attack action is in disabled state when read aloud. By the way, it’s possible to grind undead mobs, which seems like unintended behavior; however, I can see how adding a feature to the engine to swap tiles like this could be a massive increase in scope and complexity.

Played through until I got my first additional party member - fun game and concept, but attempting to play with my eyes closed was challenging to understand how combat worked initially, and then there was some things that I just didn't know until I opened my eyes later (like how much health I had or even that I had mana at all). Navigating around the world worked well enough though and it was interesting trying to keep a mental map of where I'd been!

I tried to run this with on Linux wine because it sounds very interesting, but got “Could not load type of field ‘TTS.TTS:<synth>k__BackingField’”.

Not a reason to vote it down: it doesn’t advertise Linux support, I just wanted to try, because the description grabbed me :-)
