utala la mi pali mi · taso mi ken pali sina lili kin · mi sona pali e sitelen linja lon ilo [Inkscape] e sijelo lili lon ilo [Blender] li sona e ijo ilo
i’ll be working on my own game, but i’d be glad to assist with other people’s projects! i can do vector art in inkscape and low-poly 3d models in blender, as well as assist with general technology stuff
Note: I’ve yet to use every engine under the sun, so please do let me know what you know!
Basic knowledge
- Sitelen Pona isn’t in Unicode (yet~), so you’ll need a special font! lipu Linku hosts their collection here: https://linku.la/fonts
- Ligature fonts allow you (or the player!) to type Toki Pona in the Latin alphabet and have it render as Sitelen Pona, but they might not work smoothly in all engines.
- UCSUR fonts assign custom Private Use Area glyphs to one Unicode codepoint, so they’re very compatible, but might be more difficult to input (try this guide).
- Many fonts support both at the same time!
- Popular fonts (according to Wasona) include: nasin nanpa (clean, geometric), sitelen seli kiwen (handwritten, extremely broad glyph support), and nasin sitelen pu mono (handwritten, exact copy of reference glyphs in pu).
- Want to make your own font? Try waso Keli’s SP Font Maker for an easy method, or join ma pi nasin sitelen for help with using FontForge!
- If you’d rather just have one image per glyph (as character sprites, perhaps?), try sitelen pona Pakapa!
- For maximum accessibility, try to also include a sitelen Lasina mode!
Mainstream engines
- Godot: UCSUR works fine, ligatures almost work
- Unity: both UCSUR and ligatures work fine
- Unreal Engine: [UNKNOWN]
Smaller engines
- GB Studio: this font uses a custom encoding (and includes conversion scripts)
- Minecraft: UCSUR only by necessity; try sitelen pona pi akesi Sami
- As of snapshot 25w18a, Minecraft technically supports UCSUR without resource packs, but only if you use JSON with the parameter
"font":"minecraft:include/unifont_pua", and the font used is… quirky, to say the least.
- As of snapshot 25w18a, Minecraft technically supports UCSUR without resource packs, but only if you use JSON with the parameter
- PICO-8: try this cartridge by Nonexdog (7×7), or this one by jan Lentan (7×5)
- Twine: both UCSUR and ligatures work fine (it’s in a browser, after all!); follow this guidance
would an option to export the model be feasible (and desirable)? i’d quite like to be able to walk around as a critter in vrchat*, or be a v-tuber, or even just plop it in my scenes
(* vrchat for standalone headsets unfortunately doesn’t support transparency on avatars, so the decals would have to be reworked for that i think)
you may be glad to know it’s teeechnically possible to find mew under the truck, on an original cartridge, without any cheating devices
even technicallier: triforce in ocarina of time
lucky you i happened to play this exact game ages ago https://minty-da.itch.io/superminigame-collection
late but aseprite is open-source under the gpl (so its creators can’t un-open-source it without the agreement of all its contributors) and yet it’s being sold for $5, you can get it for free but you have to compile it yourself
so that might be what’s gonna happen if the “forever open-source” thing is true
the kerovee plugin has a formant knob (there are 2 rows of knobs and only the top one does anything, i got caught by that), you can get it here: https://www.g200kg.com/jp/software/kerovee.html
fl studio has a demo version with all plugins included so pitcher (autotune) and newtone (melodyne) take your pick, only catch is you can’t open project files and can’t save from edison (audio clip editor) but can still export
utau (bootleg vocaloid) is also an option if you’d rather not microphone at all
failing all that, you can get a similar effect by singing, say, 4 semitones lower than usual, then pitching the whole thing 4 semitones up normally (bringing both the pitch and the formants with it)
read it because i like tf stuff, ended up learning a bunch about anxiety and people and i can't not be reminded of this when i think about cats help
though as a dummy dum dum white cis man i don't really see where gender is discussed (see tags) but that's not the topic of the story (nor did i expect it to be) so whatever
Probably full (if there's a specific frame for the new highscore message, it's definitely not in)
My first 3DN file. Also it had to be done. (7 GRAND DAD needs to be done too (I might))
