Hey there! Sure thing. Let me know which font you need to be mono-spaced and I'll get you a modified version as soon as I can. (And if anyone else out there has any specific little tweaks/mods they need on any font, let me know and I'll see what I can do. :)

You can suggest a type of font style here if you like and I will see what I can do! I can't guarantee it will be exactly as you envision, but I can include it for free as part of the Bundle pack to anyone who has bought it. (I am going to be adding many new fonts for free to the pack very soon in any case!) :) If you want a custom font, from scratch, that is exclusive to you, please email me instead at dadiomouse at gmail.com (tho please note custom exclusive fonts would be expensive.)

Thank you. Technically, they (and every font out there) *is* compatible with game engines... just not "optimized" for them by default. They will all "work"... and for high res games they will be perfect! But at lower resolutions/pixel art games... it's better to manually edit for optimal results!

Thank you for your kind words! I'm afraid I am not familiar with Godot (I know it, but have never used it). Most fonts out there (including mine) are not optimised for game engines... especially not for pixel art games. It will be tricky rendering these out at small resolution and making them still readable... I guess, if Godot works anything like GameMaker, you can just set the render size of any font loaded in to anything you want (like 16x16, 32,x32 etc.) and it will do it... and you probbaly have some aliasing/smoothing options there you can play with to see which settings work best? The real solution to making any font look well in a pixel art game would be to render the font off as a kind of sprite sheet (not sure what the process/term for Godot is) and manually edit each character in the sheet to be crisper/more readable, then load that sprites sheet back into the game as an image font/font map. Sorry I can't be of more help!

And free?! Keep up the great work Yal! Love it! :)

Yes, Vampire Wars is included. :) All of my fonts to date are included except for "Game of Squids" which is intended for personal / fan use only.

Thank you! (The licence and agreement .pdfs are included in the fonts folder in the zip!) :)

I'm changing providers currently and it's taking longer than expected to move things over to the new site. Apologies! I'll try to get the license links live again as soon as possible.

Thank you. Yes! You can modify the ttf/otf files to add accents etc. and yes you can embed those modified font files into a game or website. (You just can't resell modified font files on their own.) You can credit me by name in the credits for the orginal name of the font. ie: font "Starborn" created by Darrell Flood. Note that credit is not required, but is always appreciated! :)

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I agree completely, I am in the process of making a huge update / improvement to how the Bundle is structured. :)

The license permits converting to woff and woff2 if required for your projects/contracts. (You just can't "resell" those woff or woff2 files obviously.) There are many free ttf/otf -> woff/woff2 converters out there. The license is also included inside the folder where all the fonts are in the zip. I plan to massively update the entire folder/subfolder structure "soon". With separate folders for .otf and .ttf, making sure that both formats exist for every font, with an additional 20 new fonts included for free, a long .pdf list style sampling of each font for ease of searching, and improved promo images for every font (all the same size / format.) It's taking longer than expected to get this all together, but it should make browsing and using the fonts far easier for everyone. :)

Thank you. Apologies, I'm having some issues with my website currently. I'm shifting providers and hope to get a new site up soon (and all the license/agreements.pdfs back up asap!) I can email you a copy of the license and agreements in the meantime.

Happy you like it! You can use this link https://www.dafont.com/darrell-flood.d4895?fpp=200&a=on&e=on to see only the fonts from the Bundle that include accents/Euro support (there are around 160 I think.) I am currently in the process of revamping the Bundle so that it has 2 folders (.otf and .ttf) and includes "same format and same size" preview images for every font. It will also have a .pdf with a long vertical list of small font previews so you can browse through quickly. (Taking longer than expected, but getting there!) The revised Bundle .zip will also have accent/Euro support for more of my fonts and a few new fonts added in for free. Anyone who has bought the Bundle at any point will have access to the revised Bundle :)

Thank you so much! Hope they suit your games! :)

Sure you can email me the details, always interested to see how/where my fonts are going to be used, but please feel free to get the Bundle and be safe in the knowledge that your 4 Artists are covered by it. :)

Ah interesting question. If it's non-profit, there's no need to buy the license at all (you can use any of the fonts freely for personal/charity/non-profit use). If it's for profit that set-up is trickier, I'd normally ask for more specifics... but yes, in this case, the Bundle license will cover the 4 of you as if you were 4 employees.

Happy to support getting artists names out there. :)

Thank you! Always nice to know my work is appreciated! :)

Thank you, happy to know these fonts will be used for such projects! :)

You are not liable. Do not worry. There will always be ways to get the fonts out of whatever compression/encryption is used. All I'm really asking for/expecting here is that the font is not completely visible and open to the end user (ie: not just sitting in a folder as a .ttf or .otf.) I'm not so familiar with Godot, but for example, if the font was stored in a ".pck" file, that would be fine. Also, if you have a specific need for the font files to be included "as they are" in a game/app, email me and let me know the reason/use and I'll probably ok it.

Thank you, glad you like them! I look forward to seeing these appear in more indie games! :)

Thanks for your enthusiasm! :) Yes, viewing the fonts is a problem, the zip needs to be improved. And will be soon (it's taking a bit longer than I expected, but getting there) see my reply below this one for more details on changes coming.

I'm in the process of making a few big changes to the folders / previews etc. in the zip. I will be making all the "preview images" be exactly the same format/size to make it easier/cleaner to browse through samples and will be adding a multipage .pdf with just the font name in it's own font in a long list from A-Z. (Like a much tighter version of how Dafont displays them.) I will also be adding more fonts to the deal. All updated versions will be available to everyone who purchased the bundle at any point. :)

Always happy to help out other atists. Logo use is totally fine! 

Hey there, thank you for buying and for your kind words! There is a folder inside the zip with "preview images" for all the fonts. I am in the process of updating many of the images in that folder to all be exactly the same size and layout to make it easier to browse through and find one you want. I might add an extra .pdf file also containing a small sample of every font in a long list format.

Thank you so much for your kind words and enthusiasm! :) Happy you like it!

For around 30 days! It will end around about the night of Sunday 6th of April / early morning 7th! (Depending on your timezone.)

Thank you! Happy to hear you're excited about it. Looking forward to seeing your project! :)

Thank you so much for your appreciation and support! Enjoy the fonts! :)

Most fonts are only basic Latin and punctuation (especially older fonts). Many fonts do include accented characters tho (Euro support) and extra glyphs. When I notice particular fonts are very popular, I usually revisit that font and update to include Euro support. Or if someone requests that Euro support be added I will add it. You can browse through the entire list of 650 over on Dafont here: https://www.dafont.com/darrell-flood.d4895 Note that fonts like Vampire Wars, Maximum Voltage, MoonRising etc. have Euro support.. if you use *this* link it will show only the fonts that have accented characters included (I think around 170 of them in total have accented characters): https://www.dafont.com/darrell-flood.d4895?fpp=200&a=on Hope that helps!

Thank you so much! I'm happy you like it! :)

Thank you! Yes. They can be used for (almost) whatever you like! The only exceptions in regards to websites are: 1. They can't be used in a site (or app) that allows non-licensed users to generate their own designs - ie: a site where anyone can visit and customise the text on t-shirts/mugs etc. 2. They can't be used in a site (or app) that "trains AI systems" in any way (especially generative AI.) If you need to use the fonts in a "customisable content" site, let me know the details and we can work out a (very reasonable) Extended license for that purpose that covers some or all of the fonts. :)

Thank you! Bundle improvements and even more fonts to be added soon! :)

Hey there!

Anyone who buys this Bundle at any point before January 31st, will get access to all the updates! :) The zip does not have a download timeframe limit. Additional updated zips will be added as I add new features/fonts. The first big update will go live in a few days (likely around Tuesday/Wednesday next week! Takes time revamping all these preview images.)

Lots of reasons. I'm happy to get my fonts into the hands of more people and to see them in indie games! Always brings a smile to my face when I see a font of mine used in something cool! :)
