Thank you for your response!

About the accented letters: I can't even type them in. When I press any of them on my keyboard, they don't show up in the input line and are treated as though they were missing when I press enter.

As I mentioned for the ß, it's not that much of a problem because it is commonly known for German-speaking people that it can easily be replaced with ss, especially since the capitalized ß (= ẞ) is not used at all and all inputs are displayed in capitalized letters. Swiss German doesn't even use ß (plus, Swiss don't have it on their keyboard) but the alternate spelling instead. However, it would be more flexible for the players to have both options. I guess I'd have to tweak the RegEx for that? I usually try to avoid anything with RegEx, but I guess it can't be helped here.

About the compound words, I've also asked an acquaintance of mine. If he finds something that could help, I'll also post it here.

I've checked and it seems to be an issue with the machine you are currently using. Maybe try working on a different computer to pinpont the issue? For specifically

-Setting my keyboard in German, all accented letters diplayed correctly on the input line
-The game engine parsed them correctly (provided that they are encoded without accents like we said)
-Whenever I pressed ß it got automatically replaced with SS, sidestepping the issue entirely (but you can set the game to recognize both as shown)

Hope this help, have fun




It is indeed an issue with the software I'm using, thank you for that hint.

 I've just checked it, not with a different computer but with a different Internet browser. My default browser is LibreWolf, which is a Firefox derivate, but when I've just checked it on both Firefox and Brave, the input worked. I hadn't thought that that could even be a possibility because the inputs work on all other websites – so why wouldn't they work with a text adventure? (rhetorical question)
