What I’m Working On: Dungeon DX
A few weeks back I mentioned Dungeon, a Commodore 64 CRPG system created by David Caruso II and published in 1990 on the disk magazine Loadstar. We've made it available through emulation on itch.io for $5. It's here, and it's awesome. It's not just a way

For those not familiar with it, a brief introduction to #Fontstruct (fontstruct.com):
It's a web-based #font creation program, capable of output in both #TrueType and #OpenType. It used to be made in #Flash back in 2008 but has since been reimplemented completely in #Javascript.In Fontstruct, you make a glyph for each character using a simple, yet deceptively powerful, tile-based editor. Every glyph is made from a selection of around 240 pre-defined bricks laid out on a grid. You have no control over the points themselves. It all comes from that tile panel!

In 2007, Rob Meek came to us at FontShop with a wild idea: let people make fonts on the web using modular building blocks. Folks could quickly get into type design, while experiencing how difficult it is to master, thus gaining an appreciation for the craft. 15 years later, @fontstruct still has an active creator community! Some fonts made in the last 3 months:

Some years ago tried to design a #stencil #font (amateur #TypeDesign) and it has an #OpenFont License. You can download it from #FontStruct: https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1633933/trapichestencil
Maybe I should get back to it some day.
