The point of a font sheet is to work well together. These letters only go fit with the one in front and behind it on the alphabet. This would not work at all if you had to re-arrange to spell something.

Cool! I was going to make a font set for my game.
I will post here the WIP. Cya. PS: Normal fonts must have ASCII chars from 33 to 126 plus special non-printable chars 32(space) and 127(line break). ASCII 33 to 126: !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~ |

If you want to win it might be better to make a font. If you actually think about the word font, you would assume that it would merge together nicely. |

What would be interesting is a font with animation, seen as its not against the rules.
Ndsfreak, id go with the first one, i dont really like the bigger one. The first one is more "pixel" to me.
I've dicided not to enter this as i suck, but i got some ideas for anyone whos stuck.
Isco font
moving font
font on small pixel guys t shirts
tree shaped font
but i guess no one will really be stuck as you can do anything, oh wellz ![]() Edited by jamcob - 01 July 2008 at 2:51pm |

balls01, its a nice font and its not against the rules. FlyGuy has a good point but as these arent going to be used as a font (most likely), so no one should care. Go for it

Wait! I thought we could post multiple images for a challenge. Therefore, you could post both, right?

You can enter more than one font right? Just making sure before I go ahead and do it. lap1994's is the best I've seen.

I guess it would be a good idea to add that you can enter multiple times on challenge threads in the future...since there's always someone asking.

Originally posted by lap1994 Sorry for double posting. May I post multiples submissions for a challenge? Yes you can make as many entries as you want. For most challenges it's a bad idea since you'll be strapped for time. But this is the kind of challenge where you can easily sneak in a dozen entries or so. Speaking of which... it's been far too long since I've entered a challenge. This seems like the sort of thing that's just right for getting back into the pixeling groove. ![]() edit: Originally posted by jalonso Originally posted by Talos I'd assume so, seeing as jal has done it. hell, pain has won 1st + 2nd in the same week...pixel on.

Hi Zi, none of your letters have AA.
The no outer AA rule is so letters will look nice on every background.. EXAMPLE: ![]() You see? The lower image looks better on the white background but worse no the black one. To avoid this you are just not allowed to use AA on the outside of the image. If your letters look fine on every background (maybe they are not very readable on some but that doesn't matter that much) than you are most likely following the rules. AA itself is this: ![]() |

yep you are right, but somebody can say that I have 3 colours for
outline - they are in dark area and use them partially to show thin or
thick parts only ...
OK I'll continue with letters and hope to finish them in this weekend. Hope to look fun, but they aren't be so usefull ![]() Edited by zi-double - 04 July 2008 at 5:57am |

Nice stuff blink! Upon first quick look, i think the F-man's chin should be smaller, and maybe a lighter hair colour? Grey could work. Keep it up. :)
