Hi.
Thanks for the info on the game.
I've been playing a while longer now and have unlocked science and economics.
One thing I do notice access wise is that where as the screens for resource facilities and workers are very good for landmarks such as buttons and headings, the ones for assigning funding research or investing in stocks are a little more confusing, then again I'm not sure how this works exactly, eg, it seems you can only assign one lot of cash to funding, but each project has a listed cost?
Or do you basically just have to pay the entire cost of the project, then assign workers the projects will eventually complete?
Then again, I do confess I'm not sure how these aspects of the game work, and thus far my main problem is lack of credits, since I'm not exactly certain what I should do in terms of stocks and coorporations and still am only getting a basic income per credits a second, indeed I'm not exactly sure what the economics buildings such as the stock share prices and trading exchange are for.
I know the principle is to buy stocks in corporations and then sell when they're doing well, but I'm not sure what to buy or indeed whether I'm investing, and the screen is something of a wall of numbers there.
I would like to sell some of my excess resources, since I tend to have a lott, though I suppose I need to get to the point of actually constructing ships for that.
On another access front, I notice that I can use the I key, move to list item in nvda to go through all of the various tabs, as well as change the top display, however for some other odd reason I also skips between the numbers for resources and rates and the speed buttons, making it not much faster than arrowing down. Usually with a screen reader to get to information quickly you will use page formatting such as headings, tabula elements etc (headings especially), eg, to find your last post in this topic I simply hit shift h to go back to Virtuosi Media and then down arrow a few times to read.
This means that while it's generally very easy to quickly get to the info in the main tab, eg, the list of buildings by hitting h heading or b for button, it's not so easy to find the amount of resources or ratings without going to the top and either having to hammer the I key or down arrow. Since it's important to keep tabs on both amounts of resources and rates of production at all times, this is info you need a lot, and need to check sometimes in a hurry, so I was wondering if perhaps a heading could be added to the top of those displays so that they're easy to get back to instantly.
I admit this is more in the matter of a comfort than a necessity, still anything that speeds up page navigation can help.
:Lastly, You could also consider adding a ping for new log entries, as I've missed a couple going on.
I'm really enjoying the game, it's great to finally get a single player 4x style game, since thus far pretty much all accessible versions have pvp heavy online hacks of who can minimax the best, so a game like Junction gate is extremely welcome.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
