My Font Factory

Archive: 8 posts


My Font Factory is a toolbox level where creators and players can go to select fonts to use in their own levels. The fonts are packaged as an entire alphabet (so not to overwhelm your pop-it) from A-Z or you can select individual letters, some also contain letters 0-9 and all fonts are made on a thin layer. You can preview the fonts and then select which fonts you want or take them all.

Fonts include Serif Caps, Sans-Serif Caps, Sans-Serif Lowercase, Script and Retro Arcade. The Font Factory also accepts well-designed fonts created by the community and acts as a distributor, credit is given to contributing creators.

Sounds quite useful -- I wish I had something like this when working on my logo. Making simple angular letters like "I" or "L" is easy, but ones with curves or angles can quickly become a pain to get just right, even when just going for a simple, blocky style. I remember struggling a lot with "R"...

I'm actually surprised Mm didn't provide better tools for this.

Handy stuff, as Roo5676 said thought it's odd we weren't given more fonts to use in the game itself! Thanks for that!2011-03-01 23:52:00

You're welcome. I too wish their were better tools for creating fonts, they are rather time consuming but as a logo designer, I just can't help creating fonts for the game. It's too much fun!2011-03-02 23:12:00

The way you are packaging the fonts no longer works in Little Big Planet 2. You can not select letters from the group. You need to give out a mold or stencil version of the font. 1 User places your mold. 2 They smear over it with cardboard. 3 They delete the mold. 4 Individual letters are left behind.

Currently to use your font the user has two choices.
1 Break the object with something heavy and destroy all unwanted letters with said heavy object.
2 Create a stencil themselves and do the above steps.

Thanks for the heads up Orange. I assumed it was still the same as LBP. UPDATE: You can now collect individual letters of your choosing.2011-03-09 00:48:00
