| Summary | 0016155: Game Init font is difficult to read | ||||
| Description | I like the font itself and its use in game (at least where I've seen it), but as its use as what amounts to a loading bar, its rather hard to read. Actually, having a loading bar instead might be even better. I think it would look more polished and would more easily convey the loading status to the user. I'm not really sure what "Game Init - 3" means anyway. | ||||

Well, the actual progress bar wouldn't really be very accurate, because the time that it takes to do the various things is inconsistent anyway. The main purpose of showing these is so that you can see something changing, and so that if there is a stall then you know on what stage and you can tell us. Is the font really a big deal here to folks? |

No, it's not a big deal, it's just hard to read and seems a little out of place. The font is also used for the title of the error windows, which is also hard to read and seems out of place. |
|
|
I want to add here that to my eyes the issue with the font is that it doesn't look good in all-caps - each letter individually is too florid, and I can't really separate them from each other easily which makes reading hard. I like it the rest of the time, though. |

This font is going to be replaced throughout the game for unrelated reasons, so I'm going to preemptively mark this as complete. |
