How to increase text font size?

[WallStreetJesus]

I was wondering if there was a way to increase the size of the ingame text? It's completely unreadable, since its so small. I looked through the threads here and the support guide, but couldn't find anything about it.

Been looking through game files because most of the times it's just to edit font sizes in the files when there is no ingame option for text sizes. Not possible, and a search at reddit gave nothing.

So this game is unplayable.
To bad, the 15 seconds of gameplay i got at the start made me really want to play this.
gotta go take care of this godawfull headache now. Kind of incredible someone in 2019 forgets to put in options for text sizes... in a game that relies heavily on text. Just, wow.

How is it "entitlement" that a very basic function which is available in low cost indie games, is not
in a major release?

And, if you care to enlighten me, how is it "entitlement" that a product which cost quite a large sum in my currency, does not work as it is supposed to?

If you buy a car, and the car stops working as you are driving out of the shop, is it then "entitlement" to complain to the seller?

I genuinely do not understand how it is "entitlement".

I felt the same as you. In fact, here’s my review from earlier this year:

“I'm trying to play at 720p on a 32" TV and the font size is absolutely tiny. It's simply unreadable and there are no settings to change it. I'll revisit the game if they add text scaling, but until then, I can't recommend it.”

I missed the two week refund period so am stuck with it. Whenever I see the game on the store page, I pop back in here to see if the devs have fixed it.... but they haven’t even acknowledged it.

I think he means its entitlement mainly by your reaction. You say that it is incredible, that they forgot, and end it with just wow.

Instead of acting like that, had your reaction been more like, "Thats too bad. I have bad eyesight and wish they could add this feature in, Does anyone know their twitter account or another way I could request this feature? Also, thanks for looking in the game files an letting me know." then you may not get called entitled.

While you have poor eyesight and cant read the text, there is over 22,000 positive reviews for this game. Meaning at the very least, 22,000 people were able to play and read the game. I am one of these people luckily.

I do sympathize with you, I personally have a hard time reading text on my tv in games, and have to get off the couch just to read it. Luckily I dont have that problem on my pc monitor. Anyways, in the future, read your comments and think how it will come off to someone if your not interested in being called names etc. Take care.

You are right, i certainly could have phrased it much better, but my reaction was more surprise rather than disappointment.
My eyesight is fine, but i am using a 42 inch TV in my livingroom, with the couch quite close to the TV mind you. And this is so far the only game i have encountered this problem.
So yes, surprise, but of course, i could have phrased it better.

And while the game has good reviews, heck, i would still give it a good review based on just the intro and the first few seconds i managed, it is a good game, but even great games can be unplayable due to not being user friendly. So the good reviews are not a surprise, but the thousands upon thousands of posts on various forums, reddit, facebook, manger, pressfire, and twitter and here on steam, with complaints about tiny text, does show that despite the good reviews, there are few who get to play the game fully.

Same problem here. Fonts are too small even @720p at 50' TV with 4K. This game is so great, but I have to return it :(

For me it is the same. Would like to play it but text is way too small. I mean I can read it, but it is really straining my eyes. I guess most young people don't realise how damaging that is. I mean they don't care about ototoxic music either. Until they are like 40 and realise it wasn't the best idea.

I second that, the text is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ small

[leuveg]

i play at a 3000x2000 px Display and the font is very small. Please correct in a next version.

Fonts in some parts of the UI are unreadable.

[robin2u]

Especially the fonts telling me info on the scouts! PLEASE ad a choose font size feature in your setup. I love this game and want to keep playing even as my glaucoma progresses.

Wow, this topic saved me from wasting money on this game.

I've been having a lot of headaches lately because of reading detail in games, and I was thinking about buying this game, I never imagined I'd have this problem here.

Thanks to the author and everyone who reported the problem, I got rid of wasting time and more importantly, I got rid of having a big headache, literally hahaha

[LlamaDrama]

Absolutely dreadful. I'm going to get a refund and buy Risk Of Rain instead, which is really upsetting since I was having a really good first impression. I love strategy games, I love these tough moral decisions, but I cannot justify leaning forward to read the smallest text known to mankind every 5 seconds.

I don't even have bad eyesight but I also play on my living room TV and it's just absurdly small.

[Bagel]

Yes, please! If the game features a font size slider option, I'll consider picking it up as well.
