For your downloading pleasure: a new font I was working on just before the HOV. It's not quite finished (the punctuation needs doing and the shadowing needs a little tweaking) but it's shaping up quite well.

This particular font I can't completely lay credit to but I'll tell you the story behind it:

Back in my MegaZeuxing days (MegaZeux is a DOS Games Creation System. Not as good as VERGE) I played many strange and bountiful games. One in particular had an intriguing charm to it: it was called "Darkness," by a guy called Darren Hewer (he now runs dosgames.com). Put simply, this game was quite, quite mad. Mad people, mad places, mad everything. And it was great.

It had a nice font, too.

Anyway, one day I chose to moved on from MegaZeux: tired of the limited scope in which to make games I hopped on the nearest bandwagon to VERGE country, where I still am today. I remember those games though, in particular the crazy ones. This is my homage to "Darkness"'s font.

The original font - entitled "KEWL" - was made by a guy called magiCK. I converted it into a bitmap from an ASCII character set and painstakingly arranged it into a format V3 can handle, adding a dropshadow and tweaking the letters to fit better as I went. This is what it currently looks like:



I'll probably finish it after the HOV. In the meantime, feel free to use this version for pretty much any purpose you like. It looks fine in both 320x240 and 640x480.

Now comes the biggest challenge a fontmaker faces: where the hell should you upload it? I put the LBS font in general/other, but that's really the category of last resort.

What about the Verge3/Art section? In my opinion that would be the best place for fonts.

Usually, I put it in V3/other. Since it was made with v3 in mind and it's not in FNT format or anything.
