What I’m Working On: Dungeon DX
A few weeks back I mentioned Dungeon, a Commodore 64 CRPG system created by David Caruso II and published in 1990 on the disk magazine Loadstar. We've made it available through emulation on itch.io for $5. It's here, and it's awesome. It's not just a way

For those not familiar with it, a brief introduction to #Fontstruct (fontstruct.com):
It's a web-based #font creation program, capable of output in both #TrueType and #OpenType. It used to be made in #Flash back in 2008 but has since been reimplemented completely in #Javascript.
In Fontstruct, you make a glyph for each character using a simple, yet deceptively powerful, tile-based editor. Every glyph is made from a selection of around 240 pre-defined bricks laid out on a grid. You have no control over the points themselves. It all comes from that tile panel!
