Yo. Or, alternatively, I could continue making my game the way I want, and continue being happy about it. You can make that game that makes $10,000.00 a month minimum, and I will be working on mine
That's good to hear that people can find the game they would enjoy
I don't think you realize just how big the accessibility problem is. I think you underestimate how good your art is. You could be sitting on a GOLD MINE of free money. All you have to do is VERY little work to fix it.
Look at the right hand side of these images. See the score? That's how many people agreed with his post. That's how big the problem is.
This thread has tons and tons of people complaining about accessibility of in game content.
Fortunately, I think the problem is VERY easy to fix, should only take you 1-2 hours tops.
Hear me out,
The tutorial in the beginning should not be auto scrolling text. Put it in the same style of window that shows when reading the book on the MC's shelf, in his house.
When the player has finished reading, they

Player reads carefully, taking their time, then they left click when they've read it.
The above information is CRUCIAL. You can't put it on an auto scrolling timer. The player NEEDS to learn that stuff by reading slowly and carefully.
[Player Left Clicks to Continue]
If player is still confused, they should be able to trigger the above tutorial again, so they can re-read the tutorial over and over again from the escape menu.
Now let's go over the quests......
Adding one extra sentence to each quest could mean the difference between retaining players who delete the game out of frustration at the 1-2 hour point.
I believe that right around the 1-2 hour point is where you'll lose most of your player base, and that hurts your revenue.
Literally adding a few extra sentences to each quest could mean the difference between an extra 5000-10000 players playing your game, of which you may gain an extra 1-2% patreon subscribers from that amount. An extra $300.00 a month, just for adding an extra sentence to each quest, and a proper tutorial accessible from the escape menu?
You could possibly earn at least an extra $3600.00 a year, from 1-2 hours of work.
Anyways, I'm glad your happy with what you made. The game has massive potential to be HUGE IMO.
If you're happy with how it is, then more power to you, but it's confusing as hell. I have no idea what to do. But like you said, I'll move on.
