VX Ace: Is the VL Gothic Font an Eyesore?
author=GreatRedSpirit
I'd hardly call it an eyesore (besides being a monospaced font used for text) or bland but I agree with what URPC and others said about it hurting a game feeling unique. However I'd rather see VL Gothic before other eye-searing illegible fonts. Please pick your fonts carefully so reading the text in your game doesn't cause eye strain while trying to pick a good font for your game!
Could I get advice on that subject? I've found a font that I really like, but the numbers are a bit hard to see in battle and I'm afraid I'm going to have to abandon it because of that.
Here's a screenshot:

Are these wonky numbers a font no-no?
VX Ace: Is the VL Gothic Font an Eyesore?
I think I'll take a look for a custom font after all, as there may well be a font out there that fits better, especially if VL Gothic looks bland to some people.
I've gotten some scripts that will hopefully let me use a custom font right (Text Cache v 1.0 by Mithran, as well as one that removes that weird glyph and another that's supposed to fix that arrow problem you mentioned, Melkino :D )
Thanks for all the advice!

Yep! The faces, the pixel art for the battlers, the enemy art, the backgrounds, and the tilesets are all drawn by me. Thanks so much for the compliments! :D
Who needs school? I've got VIDEO GAMES!!
If you'd like, I'd be willing to make a few maps for you.
Here's an example of a map from my XP game (still deep in development):
Also, I just started playing Xenoblade Chronicles and yes it is amazing. :D

The Recommend Me a Game Game
[Poll] Hard time deciding about kind of cutscene and kind of dialog (CLOSED)
Then I'd stick with the Normal cutscenes and Dialog mugshots. That's the same thing I'm doing for my game, and I find it works pretty well :D
VX Ace: Is the VL Gothic Font an Eyesore?
Hello again!
I'm trying to decide if I want a custom font for my VX Ace game. On the one hand, nearly everything else in the game is custom (Except for the emotion balloons and the "Shadow" system file, there is zero VX Ace RTP being used). On the other, I don't find the standard VX Ace font, VL Gothic, to be that bad.
Thinking about it, I've only played a handful of VX and VX Ace games, so I wanted to get your opinions on this. Is VL Gothic overused? Does a unique font help make a game stand out? Or is the standard font fine?
Thanks again, everyone! :D

CC's Feedback
That was a fantastic video, CC! You've got some great advice and give criticism very well! :D
I want to echo your thoughts on this: For a person's first RPG Maker game, this game has a ton of promise. I also agree that some of the setup is pretty generic for an RPG, but also has enough charm to potentially overcome that.
I second that Nero is the most interesting character thus far, but am looking forward to meeting the rest of the cast, like the witches and getting to see more of Elaina. :D

Ceci´s pixelart tower of machines and magic!
Yeah, it's all about the mindset. There's enough hurdles in life without me letting someone elses beautiful artwork (or gamework) get me down. :D
Ceci´s pixelart tower of machines and magic!
This is all amazing! I'm just starting to try to do pixel art for my own projects and I am in awe of what you've done here! Absolutely fantastic!
Instead of thinking like that, I find it more useful to think "I may not be able to make something of this quality now, but maybe I can still put my own unique take in what I create." There are amazing people out there who do fantastic things, but I don't think that you should let that hinder you from creating. After all, you may be a person who inspires awe in others down the line, but not if you stop here ;D

Whenever I see stuff like this, I can only think, "I scoop. There is no way I can compete with this level of awesomesauce."
