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.

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.

Yes absolutely, the license terms let you use the fonts for pretty much all print & digital use (the few exceptions are noted in the terms)

Does anyone know if there's a specific way to get this to show up on itch.io from your own website, do you have to add a referrer to the link's URL or something? I want to know if there is a way to force this value by adding a referrer to the URL we share for our products.


For example, can you do devname.itch.io/gamename?ref=AFFILIATE+NAME

to attribute the sale to an affiliate?

Around a third of the fonts have these latin accents, you can see on our dafont profile here (This link uses some accents characters as the preview and has the box ticked to only show our fonts that contain them): https://www.dafont.com/chequered-ink.d6231?text=%C1%E1%C9%E9%CD%ED%D3%F3U%FA&a=o...

UPDATE: we have now added a version of the zip folder with the fonts sorted into 20 subfolders by category - I hope this helps! :)

Thanks for the feedback. We will absolutely look into creating an updated version with fonts sorted into folders - plus we were thinking of adding some kind of preview tool into the pack to make previewing your text in each font easier.

You can also view the vast majority of fonts on our dafont profile: Chequered Ink | dafont.com

It doesn't let you sort by both artist & theme either, but it does seem to load faster and can be set to show 200 fonts per page for easier scrolling.

Most of the fonts are .otf format, some are .ttf. It's easy to convert between the two for the format you need these days - we'll look into providing both options in a future update.

We're also happy for you to convert to webfont format as needed.

g u n f i r e

We've updated the free demo for Love Witch Heroines so that you can now play 25 levels of story mode instead of just 5!

This also gives you the opportunity to unlock Charm Mode and check start unlocking new outfits for the Guardian Witches.

If you reach and complete level 10 for any of the witches, you'll free them from their painting and unlock them in Charm Mode, revealing new dialogues and giving you the opportunity to befriend them and change their outfits.

We hope this longer demo will help more people to enjoy Love Witch Heroines!

All the best,

Daniel and Allison

We just released a game where all the characters were created using Mannequin! Love Witch Heroines by Chequered Ink

Oh hey thank you! I don't remember seeing whatever the original rude comment was but that's fine - we're just glad you enjoyed the game :)

Can I ask what attracted you back to the game? It's been out a few years now so it'd be interesting to know why you came back to play!

All the best,

Daniel

We will be reaching out shortly to everyone who purchased so far to explain how they can get their copies for Steam and/or Nintendo Switch!

Thank you so much! We're currently looking at a release date of April 12th to be exact :)

감사합니다!

  • Boss monsters every few levels to shake up your screen!
  • Online leaderboards - test yourself against the best of the rest

Cool! We'll look to update the pack (or this page) soon to include the pixel size of each font. For now if the font is available on our dafont profile you can search for its name and it will show in the top right of the font page e.g. https://www.dafont.com/pt/a-goblin-appears.font
