Allison J. James / NILDIGO LIST WISH

I've written a 15,000 word blog essay thing to celebrate me reaching ONE THOUSAND PUBLISHED FONTS. nalgames.com/blog/how-to-... It goes over my history, my work processes, the stories behind many of my biggest fonts and many smaller ones, and also gives two tutorials! #font #indiedev #design #art

It's been a very writing-y week. Here's a huge update on my stampy baby, Nildigo, with info on planned release timing, and a BUNCH of stuff about how I made it, and how it's changed since the demo last year. store.steampowered.com/news/app/376... #gamemaker #gamedev #indiedev #madewithgamemaker

also tutorialised and documented in the blog post is font #1000: The Inevitable End www.fontspace.com/the-inevitab... the longest I have ever spent on a font, The Inevitable End is created with paint strokes - literally, I painted them all myself - scanned in and digitally edited into oblivion.

tutorial 1 in the blog post goes over: font #999: The Structed Beginning www.fontspace.com/the-structed... created in FontStruct as a throwback to how I made fonts #1, #2, #3... etc.

i came out as trans 8 years ago today! best 8 years of my life, by such an extreme, hilarious degree. wouldn't change nothin' pictured: the font that is the reason i remember the day; my tweet a day later when my parents blessed it and I went full time forever

fucking nauseating weekend to be a trans woman, living in wales, ~6 months from scheduled surgery

having realised I was on 998 fonts, not 997, due to forgetting the one that Cody Rhodes uses... I have made font #999, but will not be releasing it yet it will be released in conjunction with font #1,000... and something else needless to say... ONE font remains. #font #graphicdesign #art #noai

updated my avatar to something a little newer (i was in costume as a vegan character) (i'm only vegetarian and flex-vegan)

1200+ commercial use fonts for less than $20 is a WILD deal.

Can recommend. Having a good all-the-same-artist font pack means when you pick a few that seem reasonable, they'll be more likely to work together than a random assortment sourced independently. Like you still need to follow uh, good taste, but odds are way higher assuming that.

We have literally just gone on image flip and made like 7 of these because we A) need money B) want you to have 1200 fonts for commercial use for just $19 ci.itch.io/all-fonts-pack

Wrote this (simple, non-exhaustive) list of things wrong with AI for you to share with your normie friends. Written honestly because I'm a bit frustrated at the number of even environmentally and socially conscious people I meet who don't realise how bad AI is chequered.ink/10-things-wr...
