So it turns out there wasn't a bug in my text renderer, I'm jsut bad at counting parameters. So now I can work on other features. Here's a text box that covers only the left half of the screen.

I was AFK for a week, should have something to post about soon.
In the meantime I highly recommend playing Dread Delusion.

The way C++ enum values automagically assume cardinal integer values means you can tack a "total" value at the end to get the number of defined values. Here MAPLAYER_TOTAL is equal to 3. This will update if you insert more values before the "total" value.

Implemented custom collision bounds for characters, e.g. making only the feet collide. Really sells the forced perspective when you can partially overlap tiles "behind" the player! Makes you less likely to get stuck in narrow, horizontal gaps too.

1 blocks left, 2 blocks up, 4 blocks right, 8 blocks down. Adding these together lets you combine (15 blocks all directions).
So what keeps you from walking off the cliff is actually collision from the tiles "below" the cliff edge.

Managed to keep the glyph size under 8x8px, just needed to focus and draw some grids
