Lioden is a wonderful game, full of endless possibilities and features. From top to bottom, it is built to be enjoyable for all users. There is something I'd like to suggest to improve the accessibility of Lioden for blind users, though!

- Aria Live Regions: On pages such as decor crafting and claiming a lioness, alert the user that content has changed since the page itself never refreshes.
- Claiming a Lioness: There is no indication of the pose the lioness assumes, no alt text for the claiming chart, and no indication of flames vs. hearts. It should be noted that sometimes the flavor text helps, though. <3
- Explore: When visiting the main explore page with the map on it, there is no alt text to indicate to the user the area and level they are hovering over.
- Forms: Many forms use autofill to help the user find a marking or item. These portion is inaccessible.
Games: While there are already a few games in place that are accessible, none of them provide access to items such as Great Tit or Black Stallions as prizes like the Slots game does. Add a few small accessible games for screenreader users.

Thank you so much to those of you who read this, please feel free to punch the support button in the face! <3



This suggestion has 499 supports and 15 NO supports.

I agree, it would be nice if Lioden would be even more accessible for blind players! <3

Surprised there's people who are against this tbh why would you not support something that makes the game more accessible to others? Anyways, I support 100%

Generally people who are blind access a computer using a screen reader and speech synthesizer or a refreshable braille display. There are programs which can basically read what's on the screen and make it "visible" through other sensory means. But the programs have their limits, hence the suggestion to expand what is readable by these programs.

I have a friend who is blind and we always play together. We sit together and I read everything to her. She wishes that lioden was accessible to the blind so she could play on her own (she actually told me this). I am so glad someone thinks about people with disabilities.

I am surprised that there are no supports for this. It makes me lose faith.
Of course I will support this, everyone deserves to play the same. It wouldn't be fair if certain people aren't able to access certain things.

I read somewhere, if I'm remembering correctly, that when Wolvden is released it's going to be a pretty different layout which is more mobile-friendly, and that Lioden has a similar thing in the works for the future too. If so hopefully that could incorporate some of these ideas (if it doesn't already) to increase accessibility for screenreader users, not just for mobile users.

I'm always a big supporter of anything like this that makes everyday gameplay more accessible for everyone, regardless of circumstances!

Not stupid at all. It is a fair question. In my case, I use a screenreader and a braille display to view the site.

Support 100%
Accessibility is huge for many people. I had a friend who wanted to play on sites like this growing up but she couldn't. This would make lioden so much more fun for many other people!
