Has Kickstarter added the ability to put in alt-text yet? So many pages look beautiful with their images of text, but it's so inaccessible it breaks my heart.

It's been possible for a while! I've added alt-text to the @plotbunnygames.bsky.social Kickstarter campaigns for 2 years now.
That said, the alt-text only shows up when you go into the "inspect" mode from the right-click context menu (so screenreaders can read it, seeing people can only do partly).
I've also seen publishers like @evilhat.bsky.social provide links to easily-readable docs for Kickstarter pages with extended text in images for pledges, add-ons, and such.
Unfortunately, KS has a character limit for their pages (at least they did 2 yrs ago), so such images can't always be avoided.
