Please use text that is actually readable

[Typo]

Downloaded the demo and couldn't make it through the tutorial because the fonts you're using are dreadful and give me a headache. I encourage you to make your game something that everyone can actually read.

Clicking on Language -> High Resolution Fonts should help you quite a bit.

[Typo]

Yes, that did help. But the base font is still a crime against videogames, and only 75% of the fonts actually change with it.

[SkepticFish]

My only gripe with the game, I skipped through all the dialogue because I didn't want to strain my eyes so much, I feel like I missed a lot of the worldbuilding. I hope its fixed for the release.

I love the pixel font! It's nice that you can choose though.

[GameOverMan]

Pixel font goes great with the overall game feel but option to change it into normal one is there so I think it is perfect for everyone.

[TheFawz]

A lot of the closely wound up letters like "e" are hard to discern, and at a glance when there's a lot of text it's hard to have words stick out and not all jumble up together. I get that it's artistic and fits the overall theme of the UI, but it's really really really hard to read.

Changing the font to High Resolution obviously solves the issue, but it doesn't fit as well in the UI and it has no artistic style to fit with the rest of the game. Would love to see it tweaked or further or to have additional options of Font choice

[Zérodaim]

Sure, High Resolution fonts make the text more readable, but boy does it break immersion. It doesn't fit at all with how the rest of the game looks. It makes the game feel like a cheap chinese knockoff of itself.

There must be tons of other fonts that could fit in that middle ground of "readable, but doesn't feel out of place". But this is almost comic sans level.

I replaced the hi-res font (Roboto Bold, a great font! but a bad choice aesthetically for this game), with Fixedsys Excelsior. Just copy paste the font of your choice into the fonts folder and rename it Roboto-Bold.ttf.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Loop Hero Demo\fonts

Looks great to me! https://i.imgur.com/2K4uC51.png

Thanks - this looks both readable and fitting.

Where did you download Fixedsys Excelsior fron from? I have Windows 10 and it is not in the Windows Font folder.
And the ones I downloaded from the net don't look like the screenshot.

set font to papayrus, play an odd undertale spinoff

[Pinstar]

I dig the oldschool pixel font. That said, I had a viewer request that I switch to the dyslexic friendly font and I haven't looked back. While I don't have dyslexia myself, I don't mind the look of it and my dyslexic viewer said the font was night and day for them. I applaud the inclusion of this option.

As far as I can see, it is no longer available from the original creator anywhere online. I just uploaded it for you here: https://dropfiles[dot]org/t4Je5D86

[Tyrant]

I personally love the retro font and use it exclusively, but I'm glad there are other options for the people that like it.

Thanks for going to the trouble of finding and posting this. Looks good.
