Larger Font Size

[starfaller]

Greetings,

Any chance we will get a larger font size for mission desciptions and outcomes. For some of us older guys and gals its kinda small to read at times. I think alot of important information that is put out during missions may get over looked due to the font size. As even reading through some of the discussions alot of times the info is there its just overlooked I think due to that info being so small. The fonts for bonus are pretty large and in yellow, but alot of times what is really going on is very small.

As a side note maybe sometime in the future it would be great to have the outcomes either with portraits or illustrations of whats going on as the background. Having a background picture of a blackmarket meeting, spying, Xenos encounter or space battle would add greatly to the overall presence and feeling of the game.

Thanks

@starfaller - thanks for the feedback! Have you tried using the Options menu to increase UI scaling?

[starfaller]

Have not but I will, these eyes are getting old. Thanks

[Trese Brothers]

Let me know if that helps!

We're continually adding new art to the game. We're working on finalizing some art of the spice halls right now.

I am experiencing an issue with the font being too small in the game overall.
I thought at first it was because I was playing on a 1280x800 laptop, but even plugging it to a 1080p monitor, the fonts are too tiny for my comfort.
I tried looking for the UI scaling, but can't seem to find it, so I am guessing it has been withdrawn for the time being. I hope you put it back in there so I can enjoy another of your games!
Cheers!

What OS? I don't know if it exists on OSX, which might be unintentional.

[Namekujisennin]

Ah, I am running OS X indeed.

Scaling isn't included in OS X at this time because of it's free window sizing. We can check to see if it is possible to add.

[Namekujisennin]

Thank you very much for looking into it. I tried launching the Windows version under Steam on Wine, and even the default scaling is much more bigger and thus readable. I made a montage of the windows version to the left, and the macintosh to the right, at the same 1080p resolution, for reference.

Font size on OS X remains tiny in the last update :(

If we make a change, it is usually listed in the change log. We'll keep working to improve.

Are you playing the game in fullscreen or windowed mode?

[Namekujisennin]

This is actually why I had my hopes up!

- Fixing typography, spacing and position issues on different screen resolutions and window sizes

I am intending to play Fullscreen. Since the scaling is constant, windowed mode's fonts are barely readable. Here is a snap of a pretty large window looks like. https://imgur.com/a/noCRLZ8

I'll wait again!

Per Windows Mode, try Magnifier. Actually works quite well for many turn-based games, when dealing with smaller lettering.
Just play around with the settings & resolutions to get your desired result.
The UI Scaling only goes to +100%. I would like to see at least 125 or even 150 , similar to what Magnifier offers.

Regardless, this game looks really good.

Thanks for the suggestion! As you said, as the UI scaling has a limit on how high it will go (based on your screen resolution and minimum UI size) that might be helpful here.

We are working on the mac UI scaling setting, but it is very different setup and it taking a lot of testing. We'll keep working to improve.

If you are running OS X and having issues with scaling, please check out Update #99 where we have added UI Scaling. Might help you out! Would love to hear feedback.
