[Wii][FHD] Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Textures Mod [v1.4]

[Khronikos]

I find the new typespace to be particularly ugly for the MAP NUMBERS, and not something Nintendo would ever use. If would be nice if you could change it to be more like the original, or give me a file name I could delete. I like the letters to be sure, but the numbers are off a bit in that particular section. I don't really like any of them for the map coordinates. The rest seem great.

I don't even like the original 2 on that map screen coordinate, it is really long and ugly, but it's still more readable and Nintendo-like to me. Subtle changes to font and typeface are something I think a good texture pack adheres to mostly IMO. The pack is great though! Loving the additions so far. Just those map numbers need to be changed I think.

I dont mind change, after all these texture packs people make are "custom" packs after all, they dont need to be something that Nintendo would do

Maybe CTCaer will do alternate font but personally i find nowt wrong with the font

Every other font and typespace I can spot in the game is reasonable or better than the original. This one is not. Sorry, but that is how I see it. Not a huge deal, just a little bothersome and easily fixed anyway. The rest of the pack is superb I am sure he can make the typespace better without too much trouble. It's just a randomly, completely different typespace, and it doesn't look good. That is literally my only problem with the entire mod lol. Sorry, I am a huge lover of fonts and typespace in literature and games, so things like this are important to me.

Anyway, going to play more of this. Have a good one.

Actually these (green letters) are the numbers from the original typeface family font retro studios used. Neuland. From one of the most professional foundries.

I will not change typeface family because it's more in line with the letters. But because these were the 1st I did before moths, I always wanted to remake them.

So yeah I'll use the new fonts I have from the same family but have way better font weight and readability and also not this jungle style the old have.

I will use them also for the 20pt fonts.

BTW you can always change whatever you like. It's well organised inside the folder for cases like that. What you are looking for are the 30pt fonts.

Yeah, all I really wanted was the 4 to have more width on the slant and numbers like 3 to be a bit longer and more like a number. It's not a huge deal. I am sure the same typeface family could do a little better with alterations.

This looks awesome, plays like a dream, many thanks!

The fonts look fine and fitting to me... a matter of taste I guess but they don't look amateurish or out of place to me at all.

Those specific green numbers look completely out of place in a Nintendo game and the game in general. Name me one Nintendo game with a font or typeface even close to that. And they look nothing like the original fonts either. And numbers like the 3 and 4 do in fact look amateurish. It's a very thick typeface through the game, and there are no flourishes on any of the letters or numbers besides that one. They don't look like they belong period.

It's as simple as saying Nintendo would never use that kind of a typeface in their games. And then don't. Period.

[StripTheSoul]

I don't know what you're babbling about, Nintendo games have all kinds of different fonts. So they don't look like they belong TO YOU PERIOD. It's your taste and as long as no one else here has your taste I guess you're just gonna have to make your own textures.

Sorry for getting a bit worked up here but I don't like your tone and attitude, calling the man amateurish just because you personally don't like one of his textures.
