[Juschlan]

G'day everyone!

I just created (or I tried to^^) a whole ABC of the Hammerwatch letters!

Without tilemap:

If some of the letters look bad, I'm not the best drawer, but I try to redraw some of them if it's really so bad

[Linaru]

nice, i had already created an I so i could make the words say act I,act II etc but now there are so many possibility's =3

[Juschlan]

But Act 4 is IV
The I is small, want to make those corners top and bot so it's fitting the shadow
And then also writing roman numerals should look a bit nicer

[Hipshot]

Nice. I made these using the font emulogic as base!

The shadow behind "D" is jumping :)

The shadow behind "D" is jumping

Thank you^^ It is still jumping on the picture you see up there, but I added a new download link and changed the version

if you make the image file 512 pixels wide (so there is an empty space to the right) it will stop the error message complain about file sizes.
if your file sizes are to the power of two then the engine has an easyer time loading them/

the letter B could use a little shadow in its holes, like the a has

the letter S also looks a little bit off , its not as clear at a glance

other wise they look great =3

Thank you all for helping me making these letters look better.
I noticed B and S had no holes, but you won't notice them, if you place them on a tilemap. I will upload an additional GIF with theme_a environment, so you see how it looks if you place them in your map.
I added holes, but you will only see the difference on the "no tilemap" picture.
Just give me some minutes to upload the new graphics...

I wonder what these would be used for... I never understood the letter concept. I'm sure someone will use them for something creative though, so good job!

[Juschlan]

I created them, because I wanted to create a map, where there is some sort of lobby where you can choose your level.
I wanted "JUSCHLAN" be somewhere, so you can tell, who made the map. But I deleted the map, wasn't able to play it, so now I wait for the patch, maybe that helps...
But writing many words is not recommended, spamming them is bad, because it's a) many work and b) confusing for players.

originally you had to find all the letters of 'Hammerwatch' to get to the ending, these where replaced with planks shortly before release. the letters where left in the editor

Like Linaru said, then I kept them inside if anyone wanna use them. They can be used for spelling out things in the game but with style if someone would like to =)
