Very interesting concept, I haven't tried much interactive fiction before, but I enjoyed it. Couldn't get past orc sorcerers on level 2 though. I was wondering about fonts, do you pre-rasterize the ttfs for a given resolution, or is it on the fly?
It's rasterized into an atlas on first use, and then kept in an in-memory cache for the rest of the program. It's okay, but not good enough for freely scaling the font size in an animation.
Not surprised that's where you got blocked! I spent basically no time making sure the game felt balanced. I need to learn more about RPG balance and pacing for future iterations!
Just wanted to try it but I get the following message box:
---------------------------
Frame Error
---------------------------
requested canvas dimension is too big

OK

Ah gotcha. Yeah I've been doing that too so far. But always wondered how people handle scaling. Also unicode...
Just wanted to try it but I get the following message box:
The resolution on my main monitor is 5120x1440.
Oh gotcha. I think I will be able to fix that, thanks for the info.
I've uploaded a version which should allow you to play it.
It works now, thanks! I like the game, it’s pretty cool. Good job. :)
