In 1981, Konami introduced the worlds first side scrolling shooter video game, called Scramble. This game took many quarters from me as it was a regular stop walking home from school to play. It had forced scrolling from right to left with a fighter jet infiltrating harsh terrain and enemy bases. In 1987, the company Irem produced R-Type - a side scroller with heavy graphics that was like Scramble on Steroids. The fighter crafts had different weapon capabilities that could be upgraded. Originally, the "R" series of spacecrafts stood for "Ray," like ray gun. RayType Alpha represents a time in between Scramble and R-Type, with RayType Alpha representing the first alpha version of the series. In my game, each letter becomes a chamber in the enemy's giant spacecraft environment. The spaceship must fly through each chamber, shooting down turrets and projectiles, while collecting powerups dispersed on specific locations of only certain letters. Like StepWyze, This is also an actual game (proof of concept only) that is unfinished, but I will post a link as soon as I have enough playable elements coded in. This font is heavily packed, maximizing the GameComp-required 48 grid spaces. 12.02.14 Game Uploaded!
This is a clone04.04.20. Lockdown 2020.
Lockdown doesn't mean you cant level up.
It doesn't have to feel like you're behind bars.
It could be used as a time for personal transformation.
Affecting your outer world by expressing your inner world.
Fonstructing can be a meditative experience.
It all depends on your perspective.
You can fontstruct as a way of creating cool fonts,
or you can see it as creative expression that forms letters,
that spawn words, that serve as the visualization of thought
that manifests deeper meaning. Or not.
Peace, Health, and Wellness to all!
Fontstuff:
Uppercase = worn down brick walls
Lowercase = plain walls
| = 4 bars
- = 1 bar
( & ) = Bent pipes open/close
{ & } = Scaled pipes open/close
042718. Opening Day of The Avengers Infinity War. It’s been a while since I’ve released a Superhero movie font, but this one brings to life my entire childhood exposure to the Marvel Universe. Over ten years now, each movie is getting deeper and deeper into the reality of each character. Looking back, I’ve got fontstructions for most of the Avengers: Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, and now Thor, and Black Panther. All of them in tribute to these heroic symbols translated into glyphic abstract symbols. Thank you comic books, for drawing me into these creative spaces.
Opening day of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3!
Celebrating with a spacy star filled background texture, bombarded by comets infiltrating multiple dimensional planes of existence. "Guardare" is Italian for Guardian.
Opening Day of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness! Love the cinematic multiverses, including Everything, Everywhere, All At Once! This is a Multidimensional color font that expands through every reality. Enjoy!
This started out as a joke, but it just kept getting more interesting to me as it was developed.
Completed countertops can contain at least two pieces: an uppercase and lowercase letter. The left side of the counter starts with a capital letter, which has a corresponding right side piece in the same lower case letter. Numbers and Shifted Numbers contain center pieces that can be typed in multiples.
The <>, [], and {} make special faux perspective counter pairs. Use sparingly.
Kollarbo. Derived from "collarbone," except spelled with a 'K' with the last consonant taken off, which parallels the Klavika font, which sounds like "clavicle," except spelled with a 'K' with the last consonant taken off, parallelling even further because "collarbone" is synonymous with "clavicle." So clever. So, so clever.
Kerning coming soon. maybe. but at least the rest of the diacritics.

This is a clone011616. Oops. This one was supposed to be released when it was created. Somehow it got lost. Anyway, it was an experiment with smoothed out diagonals, which was difficult before the brick nudging feature. Now it its easy. So more improvments added. Here was my original text in 2010. Old links were broken, I can't add links anymore...?
-----
Created from scratch, but inspired by will.i.ૐ's WPA Go Thin, which was inspired by Stewf's WPA Gothic. Not as much an in depth character study as William's, but delving deeper into the concept of smoothing out all hard edged corners, especially the transitional connections between all diagonal lines to their horizontal or vertical counterparts. This direction forced me to dig deep to figure out if it was possible to create a smoothly ramped curve. After chiseling out multitudinous variations of composite combinations, I came up with this solution. Then I pat myself of the back and gave myself a cookie. The technique is also employed on my Escapade, and Streamlyne fonts. As usual, I like to leave these techniques as Easter eggs for everyone to discover for themselves using their own creativity. Sometimes its inspiring just to know such a thing is possible. But let me know if you can't figure it out. Press Shift+PXL on the preview to zoom in and check it out.
