I find it a bit odd that a game with one of the characters being blind and there is no support for the blind. The most obvious way and probably the only way is a full cast of voice actors, which would add 100+ hours onto the creation of the game which is the last thing we need. I'm sure there are many fans who would love to be the different voices of the characters (me being one of them haha). Just an idea but with the amount of stuff on the devs plate, I doubt it would even be considered.

Didn't the devs already say that they're not going to have it be voiced? Hold on...

Yeah, it's in the FAQ. Not trying to sound like a douche, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just lock this thread.

yeah probably should have read the FAQ before that. I had a feeling the were already deciding not to. Oh well cest la vie

I know nothing about text/text an image in Ren'py, but I imagine it would be waaay easier just to allow assistance for the blind narration programs to read the script out than to actually voice it.

Voices have been addressed before; suffice to say, there's no chance at all of them being added.

There's a slim chance AGTH (Anime Game Text Hooker) may be able to hook into the displayed text... but I haven't tried it personally.

Wait...how about an option for people without arms? The game features a girl without arms, so I hereby demand that the full version of KS supports control through spoken commands. For the burn victims maybe we should add a feature that sends your system's cooler into overdrive.

Rin can use the mouse and keyboard with her feet.


Now we just need a way to accommodate conspiracy nuts.

Yes....yes.....YEEES!

I approve of this idea.

Well, since the game prints text by letter by letter rather than by area, it seems like it would, unless the system interaction is somehow heavily encoded.

Edit: could just be me using it wrong, but all I can get is all the threads spitting out "Katawa Shoujo" or "Katawa ShoujoKatawa Shoujo" whenever text comes up.

100+ hours

Try 100+ DAYS, and that's still very optimistic. For Act 1.

Nice double post Delta.

I really don't mind the lack of voice actors. I can imagine the characters sounding however the hell I want them to.

Screen reader support is something that's reasonable to add to Ren'Py. I'm not sure if or when I'll get to it, though.

Do we have anyone that's actually waiting for this, or is this just a request out of principle? I'm more motivated to do things when actual, rather than theoretical, people will benefit.
