@ramonwilhelm.bsky.socialReposted by @lardratboy.bsky.socialI've started to check out FontStruct and PixelForge to create pixelart fonts for my adventure games.
Both are cool and easy to use, but unlike FontStruct you can edit with PixelForge an already existing font and extend it with additional characters. ✒️

@lardratboy.bsky.socialjust shy of 30 fps, man amazing times to be alive in.
@lardratboy.bsky.socialan already working scripting language is better than a new one.. so that is a vote for a trimmed down version of what you have now.
