i bought your premium font, i did it for two main reason: first, you are really an ispiration for me, in both pixelarts and yt, i'm going to open my channel and my goal it's to reach your quality on it, you are really good, second i really love those fonts, keep going!
Very helpful and interesting vid mate! Long time watcher of ya vids, first time commenter. Your channel has been very very helpful in my pixel art journey. Keep up the great work!
$1 Font pack is a steal. If I ever decide to come back to my YT Unity stuff (My last video was around a year ago lol), I would love to use your fonts sometimes . Thanks for great videos!
im actually spreed running all your videos. And oh my god they are visual masterpieces 😭 i cant imagine the blood, sweat and tears put into each video. I had a little pixel game idea from newjeans' x powerpuff girls collab and i just wanted smth simple but im literally considering trying this type of stuff out. Problem is, i cant draw so
The font pack was an instant buy! Firstly I get to support a creator I love, secondly I don't have to go through the process of making fonts and 3rdly I get a bunch of cool fonts I couldnt make myself for my game!
Hey Pixel, I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did! I was wondering what program you're using to make your art, I want to get into it too, it looks brilliant!
Enjoy the cup of coffee that you're now able to buy! I will try to remember to let you know once I finish my current game projects, in a few dozen years
I am interested in these things, I will buy fonts when I need them, used in every part of quality designed games, also there are lots of quality pixel art fonts for a cheap price, also thank you for making video of how to make your own fonts! great work keep it up!
Been messing around with Fontself for a while, and wanted to get into pixel art for a few projects I am working on (ttcw-rpg on itch, if you play any TTRPGs.) Your channel has been a revelation, super helpful with the tutorials you have, and your assets are fantastic. Just bought the premium font pack a few minutes ago and will definitely tag you in any pixel stuff I end up making. Truly phenomenal channel. I wish I could subscribe twice.
im unsure how u get the capital and lowercase letters to scale properly in fontforge. when i import they all just scale to fit the size or are wayyyy to small if i uncheck that box ur video makes it seem like it just works ive done everything step for step
hmm. Try exporting the glyphs with extra spacing/padding around them? To do this you can just have an invisible square behind every letter in illustrator. But this process can be a bit painful, so check out some online programs www.pentacom.jp/pentacom/bitfontmaker2/ to see if you like them better.
Hey man, congratulations for your fonts! They are beautiful. I'm making my first game, is there any problem if use one of yout fonts in it and comercialize the game?
What do you think about Oddworld Abe's Exoddus, original game, and Oddworld Abe's Oddysee ?! I have a feeling you find it special, as well as i do. Tnx for sharing your knowledge and designs.
I know I'm very late but whenever I try and import the SVG files it just show the box as being white and empty after, are there any specific import settings to use on font forge because I've tried messing around with them and still see nothing. Also I absolutely love your content dude it's always so helpful and I thought I'd express that now that I finally have a reason to comment.
Nice video, but I'd recommend to not hide the tools you use behind your "editor" overlay. People watching your videos are probably interested in the tools you use :)
Hi there, hope you're still around checking comments haha. I was really curious about your process for fonts which included multiple colors. Your bones, metallic, mecha, and steampunk font all seem currently impossible for me to do unless I set my font up as an emoji spritesheet in unity. Is there a specific process that differs in getting color fonts to work?
Hey! Yeah, unfortunately coloured fonts are only supported by Adobe InDesign and Illustrator. Setting up the letters as a spritesheet is sort of the only current way to do it in unity unfortunately. Hope that helps!
I need your help! Okay so I created my own pixel font and input this one into illustrator and made the object mosaic like you said.This is where I get lost. How do you merge all individual fonts? I saw you quickly go to select>same>full colour that did nothing. What am I missing here? Shift + 4 you mentioned quickly but that didn’t seem to work either. I feel silly over this blunder and so close to having a font here! I tried to use the shape builder tool but it misses details within the font I don’t want missing. Thank you in advance!
Hey! So there's a window in illustrator called 'pathfinder', you can find it in the properties tab. If you've lost it, just go 'Window > Pathfinder'. There will be four main icons, the first is *Unite*, and it joins multiple shapes into one. It's the one you want to use. Select all the black squares for one letter, and unite them into a single shape by clicking that button. Helpful video by someone else: ruclips.net/video/fdD3FOXf6ac/видео.html I went to Select>Same>Full Colour because I wanted to get rid of all the white surrounding shapes as I didn't need them. Ctrl+4 can be used as a *Unite* hotkey because it repeats the last pathfinder command.
one thing to know about making fonts is that you have to have a limited amount of shapes, out of which you'll build everything. Letters need to 'rhyme' visually. Look at wvy or qpdb or rn m or lit ofc you can have ome exceptions
you need SVG files to make fonts in FontForge? gonna go call my buddy Scratch real quick. what's nice about Scratch is that you can make pixel art into SVG files simply by making pixel art, and then converting it into a vector, AKA, SVG!
I dare you to write your next school/work assignment in Wongdongs.
💀 maybe homework
Challenge Accepted.
that 4x4 font blew my mind, i never would have thought anything close to that was possible but you pulled it off shockingly well
@@adog3129 Thanks! There's actually some pretty cool 3x3 ones out there believe it or not
You are WAAAY too underrated, gonna share your videos with a lot of people, people like you should be known

Ive been using these fonts as my main pixel art fonts for practically everything I do. Thanks so much Pixel Overload!
I love the aesthetic of your videos. I understand this was 2 years old, but I've recently found your channel and absolutely love it.
Very helpful and interesting vid mate! Long time watcher of ya vids, first time commenter. Your channel has been very very helpful in my pixel art journey. Keep up the great work!

I just freaking love how you make the futuristic robots, i'm a noob (At pixelart), and i don't know how you do to do it look so beautyfully great!
This is great! Nice job pulling this together. Very easy to follow!
I was making fonts in the 90s in high school for my DOS games
I like your pixel art you deserve subs and likes.I'm so glad that I discovered your channel,keep it up!!!
Hey Pixel, I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did! I was wondering what program you're using to make your art, I want to get into it too, it looks brilliant!
Right now I use a free program called Piskel, but I recently bought Aseprite and will slowly be moving to that.
@@PixelOverloadChannel Awesome! That means I can see how much I enjoy it before committing actual money to it. Pleaaaaaaase never stop making videos!
Lifesaver! need to keep this in mind next time I make fonts!
Your channel is awesome thank you for the video

I agree with the other comments, amazing quality of knowledge and visuals! Thanks!

Create Object Mosaic - Wow! Subbed for this sorta insight.
Enjoy the cup of coffee that you're now able to buy! I will try to remember to let you know once I finish my current game projects, in a few dozen years

I just start learning this, Thank you!😇
I was just interested in the topic in general, I don't really have a use for a font right now but great video!
I am interested in these things, I will buy fonts when I need them, used in every part of quality designed games, also there are lots of quality pixel art fonts for a cheap price, also thank you for making video of how to make your own fonts! great work keep it up!

Good job bro! ❤️
THIS IS GREAT!

That's awesome to hear, keep me posted on whatever you make!

What pixel editor are you using?
what software are u using to draw the letters at the beginning?
thank you brother
I would recommend Figma over illustrator and inkscape
Hey man, congratulations for your fonts! They are beautiful. I'm making my first game, is there any problem if use one of yout fonts in it and comercialize the game?
Hey sorry for the late reply; totally okay to do whatever you want with them! Good luck on your first game, that's really exciting!
Can you make a video on “How export your sprites to unity”.
he probably can’t because he doesn’t do that stuff. (game dev, and things like that
What do you think about Oddworld Abe's Exoddus, original game, and Oddworld Abe's Oddysee ?! I have a feeling you find it special, as well as i do. Tnx for sharing your knowledge and designs.

Show! 👏
can i use your free fonts wherever i want?
I FUCKIN LOVE YOU😭❤️🙏
If you have Promotion NG,
you could just skip to 4:37
Great video, but Fontstruct should be mentioned. It's the place to go to make or find "pixel style" fonts
Nice video, but I'd recommend to not hide the tools you use behind your "editor" overlay. People watching your videos are probably interested in the tools you use :)
How do you only have 13k subscribers?

How do you make stylized fonts?
I like making pixel art fonts with FontStruct
How to setup the spacing between the letters and words? Does size matter if you save the vector graphics?
Its good aselrite exports to svg
god your cool
one thing to know about making fonts
is that you have to have a limited amount of shapes, out of which you'll build everything. Letters need to 'rhyme' visually.
Look at wvy or qpdb or rn m or lit
ofc you can have ome exceptions
you need SVG files to make fonts in FontForge?

"I can't buy the premium 😞"
Maybe soon I guess
