What program did you use to export the game files? I ask because i'm creating a tbg myself and i'm not entirely sure how to export my game for releasing on sites such as Steam or itch.io
I really enjoyed playing this game, although there is a massive difficulty spike on the third expedition. I know you probably aren't updating the game anymore but if you were to i would love to see a more gradual difficulty curve, although i acknowledge i may be misinterpreting the point of the game.
Thank you for the feedback; I have also noticed the difficulty spike on the third expedition. Some characters are definitely more viable than others, but it is definitely punishing. Whether or not the game was beatable wasn't really a concern of mine when I made it. I still enjoy making games and am glad that you enjoyed this game of mine.
Hi, thank you for creating a game like this. I'm a blind person, (i.e: screen reader user) also a fan of Warsim, and in the blind community there aren't many rpgs. I'm wondering, please could you create a version with just raw text, for screen reader users? i.e: no ascii characters. Warsim has this as part of it's settings. So, instead of having ########### it just skips that entirely and says stuff like
name: jukesy
and no #######
before the next line
It makes it much less spammy for screen reader palyers.
I've also encountered a slightly weird thing where the text is wrapping to the next line, so instead of saying you are a warrior monk
IT says
You are a warr
ior monk
Also, the help area is a bit bugged at the moment. When I go into the help option, it says, enter controls, etc. But doesn't give a proper list of topics, and if I type controls, the game just exits on me. Also, how ca I find out what each race does? I just selected human even though each race might have different stats, it'd kind of be cool if this could be added as part of character creation so you can make a slightly better choice as to what sort of character you'd like to be. Thank you very much in advance, from Aaron, a blind gamer. Also, if you'd like to try a screen reader, there is one called NVDA which is completely free on windows, and it actually currently auto-reads your game.
I am glad that this game gave you some joy. I can't promise any timely changes because of real life stuff, but making this game playable for screen readers is a great idea, and I am sorry about the state of the game. I should have realized that this game wasn't playable for screen readers. Thank you for your response.
Hay, seriously this thing is still playable for screen reader users. I'm actually at the third town, although yes I keep on dying. I still don't really know which profession or race to try though. Elf doesnt' seem to have much health, but seems to have a lot of endurance?

Okay, I've been wondering why this game has been getting more traffic lately; that must be why. :D
WARSIM sent me too
This was really fun! Great work. I died by eating too many surprise mushrooms, but such is the life of a crusader ;)
Epic lol. Glad you enjoyed it :D

A program called Py to EXE.

I would say your best shot for race is a Human or Dwarf, and your best shot for class is Knight, Hunter, or Adventurer.
Hello, I just released the raw text version of the game on GitHub. The file is called "thecrusadersquest1.1screenreader.py".
Is it compiled?
It isn't compiled. I can work on a compiled version.
I uploaded the screenreader-friendly executable. Also fixed some bugs.
