It always pains me to see romhacks and homebrew console projects with embarrassingly bad programmer-art fonts, or fonts (sometimes ugly ones) taken from other games.
If you're making a romhack or other project that needs (or even just kinda wants) a new bitmap font, don't let your confidence in your code, music, or even pixel art convince you that you can throw something together solo and have it look decent. Please talk to someone experienced. It doesn't even have to be me. (But it could be!)
just us showing our own old work, no obligation to read re: new bitmap font
@ElectricKeet I remember we tried to make our own font in PICO-8 a couple years ago and had a lot of struggles with it. There's definitely a number of wonky letters in there.
Definitely a field we wish we knew more about.
