Hi all,

It was brought to my attension that games for blind gamers 3 is happening at the same time as this jam. We have spoken to the coordinator of said jam, and have agreed to allow people (that’s you!) to submit to both jams with the same blind accessible game. In fact, we would highly encourage you to do so. You can find and sign up to games for blind gamers 3 here: https://itch.io/jam/games-for-blind-gamers-3

I can’t seem to pay for this…

Hiya,

I was trying to turn on screen reader support on linux, and when typing /voice and hitting enter, nothing happened. It’s almost like it considered it an invalid command. Perhaps there’s a different way of turning on screen reader mode now? Not sure. Anyway, help would be appreciated.

Hiya,

I’m writing to mention that it seems system fault is build against a rather new glibc, causing it to not work on older operating systems, such as older debian or ubuntu, or operating systems that have otherwise not updated glibc. It would be ideal to build system fault on the oldest supported ubuntu or debian, whichever is older, so that as many distros as possible can use it. Let me know if you need any help.

-Michael.

It works great now. Thanks!

Heya,

I seem to have an issue where, when I launch the game, I go to the death screen. The interact to continue doesn’t seem to focused, and I can’t get my screen reader to focus the interact to continue to go back to the menu. Strangely, my screen reader sees the menu right past the death screen, but none of the buttons will activate (presumably because the menu screen is actually behind the death screen). I’m using orca as my screen reader on linux, brave as browser.

Hiya,

I mentioned this on discord, but I’ll mention it here so anyone looking can know. Text based instructions should work fine, just put them on the itch page.

-Michael.

Looks like it works great now. Thanks!

Hiya,

I went to unzip the latest linux zip file, and got these errors:

Any help?

Btw, in case it matters, this was with the unzip command in the terminal, void linux.

Yes, your game may use any system features that you deem necessary for your game to function, and spooky games are certainly ok, given there is no genre restriction >:-)}

I have a question that has burning at the back of my metaphorical soul ever since I found your games. I hope you don’t mind me asking :-). But considering you said ask you anything, and this shouldn’t be a rude or offensive question… Here goes:

Is your name, “shift back tick”, significantly different than the simple character ~ or the name “tilde”, beside just being a longer form? I.E. if I were to talk about tilde’s games, would it make any since at all.

:-)} All in fun.

Void Linux Rolling, latest.

Heya, I just got around to downloading the blind version for linux, and I get an important error like “error trying to load tts_x64.so - tts_x64.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory “. Just FYI.

-Michael.

Hiya,

I’m trying to run the game on linux (void linux rolling), but I get a segmentation fault right after the window loads. It’s worth noting that I am blind, so use the screen reader orca on linux and speech-dispatcher for software speech, so I’m not even sure if the game is accessible to the blind as in menues, etc, but I’m trying to give it a try. A log of the run can be found here: https://michaels.world/tt-error.log

It’s too big to post here, something like 1000+ lines.

Let me know if you have any other questions :-).

-Michael.
