More accessibility improvements

Space to Grow
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

In this version, we made lots of changes to improve experience for visually impaired users, such as alt text for cutscene graphics, reading speaker names, a shortcut key to auto-place crops ('p'), and more alt text. In the game, the 'v' key toggles self-voicing (text-to-speech), and 'a' brings up the accessibility menu which allows you to change the size/font of the text.  Thanks to @renpytom for making these features part of the Ren'Py engine!

I found these pages very helpful in showing exactly how to do this with Ren'Py:
