If you know any löveable font for those languages, you may send it so I can include in the game.

Gothic font for Russian language

Sadly, the gothic font doesn't have Japanese, Russian and Danish characters.
If you know any löveable font for those languages, you may send it so I can include in the game.

May I suggest you forgo the font for that small, game-important text? I can read the Russian screenshot far easier than the English, and I don't even understand Russian! The drop-shadow on the writing is also something to look at again I feel.

On the other hand, you could keep the font, but make it less overt or increase the spacing between letters and lines?

I like the frames around the individual parts of your interface. Did you draw them ourself?

Yes, that normal gothic font may be a bit hard to read. I will try to find some other more friendly. Or you can give some suggestion.

Yes and No. I did not draw the base images, which I download from http://opengameart.org
But I edited them to fit the game.

[EDIT]

Text log window font output tweaked, showing more space between lines and increasing the font size slightly:

Japanese: Russian with IndieKid's gothic font (don't know if it is hard to read) Normal wester language( english, español, deutsch, francaise, etc..)

Nope, that's not the best font for gothic. My fail, I din't see that this font doesn't have lowercase letters. I think it will be much better with this one or maybe this. Some more(in case if those will be bad): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

I tested all fonts you recommend, and I think the #5 (Cleopatra.ttf) is the best looking one.
If you don't like it, just give me other fonts that you see better. It's not mandatory they look Gothic, but some kind of Lucida Console-ish I think would not fit well.

game screen size = 1000x600 Let me know if it can is readable enough.

You should start a seperate thread in demo section.

Yes, of course

Hello all! I figured it was about time to add my project to what I am working on. the main post is here http://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=12300 and a few screen shots are there too. I am going for a mixed genre game. RPG and Space Shooter. Space fights will be action and planet side fights (and station) will be turn based. I havent fully decided if I want a grid style like final fantasy tactics or a classic rpg feel like the first few final fantasies. Right now I am working on the equiping menu for ships. Proving to be difficult for a noobie like me. I got the basics of the fight engine down so for now that is one the backburner. I also did the title screen as another module that works (kinda... first .love I made and the code is well BAD) Well I wont make this into a huge post, but would love some feedback if you check it out. For now I will keep reading tutorials and looking at other peoples codes for ideas.

BTW Ubermann who did your border graphics. They look real nice.

** EDIT **

Well I managed to recreate my battle engine with new code. There is a loading screen as it loads all the data. I will include the .love to test it out. Right now the player and enemy do not have hit detection, but I am adding that in along with the stats. This was mostly to test the loading screen and movements. Use 'wasd' or arrow keys to move and 'f' to fire. There is a cool down for weapon use now. No more spamming the fire key. Also havent added the sound back yet. Should be done tonight or tomorrow. The enemy has a slightly more advanced AI system. It has 3 weapons with its primary going off more often. Next to do for the AI is to have the enemy decide movement based off of the players movement. Once I have that with the stats in then I will begin to make the start screen. The basic battle engine is almost done. I have also done more with the inventory system and equip system for new weapons. That is not yet included. Please let me know what you think.
