Font hard to read

[Jippen Faddoul]

The light font on the white windows in game is pretty hard to read, especially on a high-res monitor. You should make the font darker, and the shadow less drastic to make it easier to read.

Agreed

I had to stop playing after the tutorial, best they make the font just black letters not outlined like they are now.

Funny, I was going to say the exact same thing. As a web and graphic designer, I was horrified to see white font with a drop shadow on a white background being used as instructional test. I'm struggling to make it through the tutorial as a result.

The game looks nice, interesting from what little I've seen so far...but it is quite clear that whoever decided to use a decoration to style the main content text had absolutely no background or knowledge of design theory.

If there is a way to edit the styling, it would be quite helpful.

*edit*

I had to take a break early in the tutorial. Too difficult to read with my old eyes.

Is the text like this throughout the entire game, even after the tutorial? If so, I think it instantly just turned into a virtual coaster. =(

[Spill]

Dont recall, stopped reading :)

Made it to the second or third screen of the tutorial before I gave up and moved on to a different game. That said, if you do want to read the tutorial text, you can find it in the game's data directory:

Steam\steamapps\common\Post Master Simulator\DATA\text\eng

(Other languages are also available from the DATA\text directory.)

Yeah, the devs have given up on this game. If the devs don't have confidence or passion about the game, then players shouldn't, and obviously don't.

Interesting premise for a game, but horrible follow-through.

I had a hard time witht he text, so i also stopped trying to bother.

Sure, I was tired, grumpy, and looking for a release from my day.... so I thiught I would try something I 'had control over'. Turns out I can't read.

Another 'came here just to post this' post. What were they thinking? A basic design mistake that is ruining an otherwise unique, if middle-of-the-road, sim.
I'd see if I could hack something more legible in, but they've lost me.

I personally wouldn't be bothered doing that anyway, those who have persevered with the game say it's only mediocre at best.

Yep, finally decided to dust this one off after picking it up in a bundle years ago, and that white-on-white with a light grey shadow is a killer. Would be willing to give it another go if anyone can suggest a hack.
