Ah thank you so much, it's funny to see what you made with it. This font is one of our earlier ones, I didn't realise it was missing the ' character to be honest! I will add that to our list of things to update, thanks for letting me know.

Hi there, thank you for the kind words! Yes you can use them for commissions - as long as the graphics you make for the client are hard-baked when you hand them over (as in, they wont have access to the ttf or otf file of the font.)

Thank you for the suggestion of extra content too - we'll take that on board since we're always adding new fonts to the pack :)

We're always looking to make our stuff accessible to more people, follow us on Blue Sky for any updates of deals we might have in future.

follow us on BlueSky (or Facebook, or Patreon or wherever you follow people) as we will post about any future deals there :)

We are always looking for ways to make our stuff accessible to as many people as possible - and we have run this discount before.

My advice would be to follow us on BlueSky (or Facebook, or Patreon or wherever you follow people) as we will post about any future deals there :)

The second one - it means you can download and install the font pack itself on up to 5 PCs / Macs / Whatever at the same time.

You can use the font in as many end creations as you want (so make an unlimited number of games, etc. with them)

Thank you! We're always happy to answer any questions people have. It's nice to have people talking about things we've made :D

We hope you enjoy the fonts and put them to good use :)

As long as you're not openly sharing the font file itself you're all good. We recognise that bundling a font within a game or a website etc. means it's technically possible for someone to download it still. That part of the terms is more like "do your best to prevent them using it as their own font".

Thanks, we'd love to see what you make with them :)

Yes absolutely! Tbh you can do most things with them as long as you're not A) redistributing the font on its own to other people, B) using them to train AI.

The uses you described are perfectly fine!

No it's OK, you can use them in RPG Maker games!

The intention of the part about not redistributing is to say you shouldn't redistribute the font file to other people as just a font.

You can bundle the font in your game, or use it on your website, it doesn't matter to us if it's "technically" downloadable by a user who looks through your code as long as it's not there in plain sight to download as a font they can use.

So you can use it in games and as a webfont if you want.

Thank you for buying the font pack!

You can add latin accents to any of the fonts that don't have them yes - to be honest you can edit the .ttf or .otf file yourself if you want as long as you don't redistribute it afterwards.

You can definitely edit any version converted to bitmap too, since you might want to make logos with different styles and stuff, so editing the outline of the font in sprites and graphics is totally fine.

You don't need to credit us, but if you want to you can just write "Font by Chequered Ink" or something!

Finally, your English is fantastic no need to apologise!

All the best,

Daniel

Hi! Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We have tested with various controllers here, including Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, and there is no problem with those.

It must be something specific to do with Xbox Series X controllers but we don't have one here to test. We'll investigate and see what we can do about it!

Thank you for playing :)

Sorry for the delay in reply - but yes what you said is correct, feel free to do that.

You're welcome and thank you!

Just having them hidden from the user is enough to be honest! No method is going to be 100% extraction proof, but as long as you're making some effort to hide the font a bit it's fine.

Hey that sounds great! If you can email us at support@chequered.ink with the details we'd really appreciated it :) thank you so much.

You're welcome! Thank you

At the moment the best way I can recommend is to go to our Fontspace profile, which features all of our fonts, and change the preview text to a lowercase string like "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz". Then as you browse through the pages you'll see which ones have lowercase letters https://www.fontspace.com/chequered-ink

Thank you so much! It's lovely to know your story and we hope you enjoy using the fonts :) do feel free to message us in future to show us how you use them!

Yes you can rearrange the fonts in your designs, add colors, change the look etc. without any problems. The revenue limit also applies only at time of purchase, so if your business grows you don't have to upgrade your license.

You don't need to credit us, but if you want to just "Fonts by Chequered Ink" or "[Font Name] by Chequered Ink" would be great! Thank you :)

Thanks for buying and for the feedback! Yeah we've got some pixel art fonts in the pack, but otherwise many, many more in different styles. They don't just come in handy for in-game of course, but also for logos & stuff so even if the game is pixel art you might want the logo to be in a different style I guess!

Thank you! We really appreciate it and we hope you get some good use out of the fonts :)

It means you can use the font file (.ttf, .otf) on up to 5 PCs / macs / whatever to make your designs.

If you're currently nowhere near that kind of threshhold, don't sweat it - we won't be checking up on purchases down the line, you do not need to start tallying your earnings, you are just welcome to use the fonts forever.

All I can say is, if you remember us 10 years down the line when you're rich, a donation or just support of our other work will always be appreciated 😄

Thank you, glad you're enjoying it 😊

I believe it should be fixed now. The issue was, although the itch.io version had all the API calls removed, it was still present, which meant that it tried to stealth-launch the Steam version instead of the Itch version. Didn't flag that myself since it just works fine if you have it - which I do 😅

I've tested the latest version with someone that doesn't own the Steam version so it *should* be good now.

(1 edit)

Hiya, I will check the version asap (currently on holiday with my travel laptop so my apologies for the delay). But no - this is our game; I ported it to itch.io recently and may have made a mistake with the export.

Yes, both are permitted!

Antivirus software does this a lot with GameMaker games (or any executable downloaded from the internet to be honest). You can usually add the file to your exceptions list in the software so that you can play the game.

Thank you! There is no need to credit us - you can use the fonts without giving attribution. But if you want to just putting "Fonts by Chequered Ink" in your credits would be OK, or if you're using fonts from other people as well then "[Font Name] by Chequered Ink".  You don't need to ship the license with the game, just ship it the way you would usually ship!

Thank you for supporting us all this time anyway! We hope that having the whole pack for this price is a good reward 😅

You're welcome and thank you so much for your support :) it will help us to keep making more beautiful and amazing fonts!

Yes, you can do that!

Thanks! :) Best wishes to you too

It's all good, no conflict. You can use it!

Yes you can!

Yes, the font pack doesn't come with webfonts but you can convert them to the right format if you want.

Yes you can! Where out license says do not modify, we mean the otf/ttf files themselves for redistribution etc. - you can absolutely use them to make different colored graphics and logos and bitmap fonts for use in your games and stuff.
