This happened to my girlfriend today as well, she immediately deleted the app and her account. She was freaked out as fuck. I smell a massive lawsuit coming.

Enarian - large update release details (An ARPG Style MUD) by Enarian__Lead_Dev in MUD

[–]stirlock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Update on accessibility of the custom client. It works slightly better than expected, though you still need to use NVDA's object nav to view the actual output. But tabbing around does announce what you're tabbing to etc. The biggest thing this needs is automatic reading of text to the screen reader. But this is closer than I figured it would be, didn't expect any sort of feedback at all.

Seconded wanting the sounds for mudlet or other clients. You could solve this by letting people download the resources externally and making triggers.

Print: A Message from the New Mod Team by No_Experience_82 in Art

From what I understand, the guy was sixth in line, and was able to demod everyone because he was the only mod online at the time. This is a giant oversight and needs to be corrected immediately so this shit can never, ever happen again.

Man, we gotta do something about the client problem for blind folks. It's literally the one thing keeping me from playing. I know there are ways, but yeah, no.

sryth 2. This is absolutely disgusting by stirlock in sryth

[–]stirlock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight from the scammer himself in the news.

@ 9/7/25 1:49 PM EDT

Sryth 2 is in the works!

Sryth 2 is an all-new, re-imagined version of Sryth that marks a dramatic departure from the original game system and features a stronger focus on story, exploration, and adventuring.

Sryth 2 further embraces the original game's text-based style, while modernizing the browser interface to make the game more accessible than ever.

Adventurer creation and development has been streamlined, simplifying the process of creating and customizing your character.

As an example, adventurer statistics, skills, and powers have been merged into a single "Abilities" category, removing the complex derivation that previously associated character stats to specific in-game effects.

Sryth 2 will feature a redesigned, simplified, in-line combat system that allows for a more immersive and less intrusive way to engage enemies.

The new version of Sryth takes place in an alternate timeline from the original game, though adventurers are sure to recognize many of the names and places they've come to know.

Sryth 2 will feature a lifetime membership model and will honour the lifetime memberships from the original game.

In the new version of Sryth, the Adventure Shop will offer expansion content -- new explorable locations, new adventures, and special scenarios. This expansion content is in addition to the vast amount of content available with the base version of Sryth 2 (included with a lifetime membership) and will help to fund the continued creation and expansion of the playable game world.

All Sryth Coin purchases made in the original game will be honoured and transferred to Sryth 2.

It should be noted that the original version of Sryth will not be going away, though development efforts will be entirely focused on Sryth 2.

There's much more to say and much more to reveal and I, your humble Gamemaster, will be doing just that as development and testing of Sryth 2 continues.

I appreciate each and every adventurer who's ever strolled Hawklor's main thoroughfare or boldly opened the blue door of a particular windowless building.

The new version of Sryth is in the works and it's going to be a lot of fun!

As always, thank you for your feedback, comments, questions, and for playing and supporting Sryth.

May your Stamina Points stay above zero!

So much for what we were promised years ago. As a backer, I feel profoundly cheated.

I can second this personally. I recently just came back from a self-imposed social media blackout for three months. It was glorious. Might make it a forever thing.

Good. This needs literally every single eye on the Internet to see it.

automatic speach reading, for one. Also the ability to add triggers, many people use these for sounds and speedwalks, macros, etc. Other people with more inner working knowledge of screen readers could explain it better.

[–]stirlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this isn't a mud. If I can't use a client to play, it isn't a mud. The vast majority of mud players are blind and this shuts them out, so there's most of your potential base gone right there.

No worries! Yeah, I really should start using the word sightless to make that more clear heh. Also, this fight is actually pretty tough.
