It reminds me of a certain texture pack's Minecraft font.

Seriously, it looks pretty much exactly the same.

Herp, I'm sleep-deprived.

They should have different fonts for different races.

Comic Sans for Novakids?

Comic Sans for Novakids?

I want to imagine the shitstlrm that would happen if their global chosen font was comic sans
wow. such space

[Oneir]

That's a nice enough font. It looks a little weird with the pixel-y graphics, though. If Starbound were actively trying to be retro that'd be an outright art fail, but I guess I like it being easier to read.

I would imagine Novakids use Comic Sans for the lulz.
Kind of suits their general personality.

I don't think the Apex would use it though, too "intellectual" for that.

I don't see the Florans use it either, but for different reasons.

Hylotls would probably be into calligraphy and thus see the value in all sorts of fonts.

Judging from what I understand of novakids (or I could be misattributing their original suggested history with what Chucklefish decided to go with), they'd more likely have something like heiroglyphs that become increasing esoteric until one generation just decides writing isn't important anymore and completely forget, then start over.

So probably something like wingdings but still recognizably human-language characters.

Fonts in a non-verbal game not only have to appear to match the written language of the species, but also try to match the spoken language. If a language has a lot of sibilance, you could perhaps represent it with a lot of curls to the characters (rather than relying on repeating 's')... but that's not necessarily how the species would write its language, if it writes at all.

Well, at least I think they should do that, as hard a goal as it would be. I guess it doesn't matter either way.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I think Novakids would probably speak in...

This.

rofl, inc 1.0 guys.  You feel it met all of the to do stuff on the roadmap?

[Neonivek]

I think they mean they will hit version 1.0 in 2015 not that they already met it.

Not that... you couldn't interpret it your way currosivechains given... they said that before.

[Levi]

I thought they had given up on the roadmap anyway?

I can't wait for the stable update to hit, I want to see how it all feels.

[Shooer]

Hey gave up on the road map, but that doesn't change the fact it's what they were selling the game with.

Actually, ignoring for a moment that they no longer use the roadmap as their guide, I can't see anything on it that hasn't been implemented already, aside from the vehicle things and procedural quests.
