an absolutely deranged sentence from a technical blog post.
"The constructor (for non-coders, a constructor is a method executed when a class is created. Better explanations here if you want."

I am so bad at releasing but I have worked on so many pixel fonts.
- Record: A VCR OSD Mono killer
- Hamster: A 20+ font pack of different styles & sizes
- Dotto: A monochrome 12x12 pixel emoji font (yes, every emoji)
- various other display fonts

Someone shoot me! I should be finishing them!
various unfinished pixel typefaces, made by me!

Had a big brain idea of using Godot to generate new asset images for the itch store page. So glad I did this - will save me so much work down the line (as well as for other fonts!)

Working on an update for Kingdom.

New numeric glyphs to make them more readable, consistency tweaks, and *lots* of kerning updates (truly endless).

Should be out in a few days!
Kingdom - A Gothic Blackletter Pixel Font. Made by me! Excerpt from The Metamorphosis (Franz Kafka). Showcasing the font 'Kingdom'. Pangrams from English, Czech, Serbian and Russian, using the font 'Kingdom'. New numeric glyphs for 'Kingdom'. The goal is to make them more readable and distinct from each other.

hungry for more shape sender. loved seeing it at freeplay parallels. looks and (especially) sounds great - lots of fun to find "satisfying syncopated solutions".

A little while I started getting into pixel font "revivals" - taking fonts from old games and recreating them into TTFs.
Font revival from Metal Gear Solid. Font revival from Kirby's Block Ball.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid...
Wikipedia - Pyramid Scheme A pyramid scheme is a business model which, rather than earning money (or providing returns on investments) by sale of legitimate products to an end consumer, mainly earns money by recruiting new members with the promise of payments (or services).[1][2] As the number of members multiplies, recruiting quickly becomes increasingly difficult until it is impossible, and therefore most of the newer recruits do not make a profit. As such, pyramid schemes are unsustainable. The unsustainable nature of pyramid schemes has led to most countries outlawing them as a form of fraud.

smooth experience with Ooo until now - having a Super Metroid moment.
Screenshot of Ooo (Nama Takahashi). Feeling a bit stuck!

What are you doing? You should be playing LEMON-SHARK (on your phone) right now.

It's a puzzle-like PAC-MAN made in PICO-8!

KINGDOM just hit 100 purchases on itch.io! Thank you to everyone shelling out for such a niche pixel font.

New update now supports Cyrillic!
