Experimenting with Fonts


Tale of the Tildebeest’s graphics are made entirely of 3D typography, so fonts are an important piece of the aesthetics to the game.

I’ve been experimenting with the fonts used in the typography. Please take a look and let me know what you think is the most appealing, considering whitespace, legibility, and flavor across different times in the day/night cycle. (I’m still working on the colors)

Here's how to type words with fingers. Now I can start making the real levels. There will be buzzsaws and lava floors.

Just started on this jam today. Made a happy little anthropomorphic finger character, ready to do some typing.

Couch co-op for up to 10 players, who all control anthropomorphic fingers. Step on the special button to randomize the appearance of the finger and distinguish it from the other fingers.

Did you know that today is #InternationalJazzDay? 🎷😎

No? 😯 Well, we couldn't pass up this date!

And what better to celebrate this day than #Pecaminosa #OST? 🎷

Let us know what you think about it and have a great weekend!

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

One of the most critical update for Sunblaze demo. Now you are able to pet a cat! Finally!
