I had to fix all the patches that I made because they contained some LSDJ4_5_0 code and they caused some problems for 4_5_1.

And I fixed a minor flaw in the LSDJ+7 patch.

I took down the old patches and put up the fixed ones in their place > > > http://www.mediafire.com/surfacedragon < < <

So now they all work perfectly, sorry for the inconvenience.

This is just a quick comparison example to show the difference between Standard LSDJ graphics and LSDJ+ graphics -

(Standard-LSDJ on the left  -  LSDJ+ on the right)
(Both with the same font)

(I used this color palette
Black - 0,0,0
Pink - 255,0,189
White - 255,255,255
Blue - 0,0,255
to emphasize the minor differences)

All the LSDJ+# patches are also "cleaned up" in the same way.

These minor differences in the LSDJ+ patches really help improve readability on actual hardware.(for me at least)

I wish I had a better camera so that I could show you the difference between Standard-LSDJ and LSDJ+ on an actual DMG.

I don't want to say that the "cleaned up" versions are way better because some people might like the anti-aliasing in Standard-LSDJ.

In my opinion though I don't think any anti-aliasing is necessary for such small fonts/graphics, I like simplicity, just a solid foreground color with a solid contrasting background color.

What do you guys/girls think?

(I think the Kiko-replacement-font in the LSDJ+7 patch is my favorite so far, and I hate the Kiko-replacement-font in LSDJ+9)
(But I'm still working on a bunch of really cool fonts right now and I'm putting more effort into making some more interesting alien fonts/symbol fonts)

Would it be possible to make a little tool or script that would enable people to convert their won fonts into patches?

I think it would look nice with a 3x3 font.

Once I get a copy, I'll be sure to send you an email. Cool stuff!

iLKke - I can't really make a tool or script for LSDJ font modification.

But I can put your fonts(or anyone else's fonts) into LSDJ patches.

Maximum size per letter/tile is 8x8pixels.

I use the program YY-CHR to modify the fonts within LSDJ by hand, then I turn the modified version into a patch using the program Lunar IPS.

I can try to put together a tutorial on how to do it but I think it would be easier for me to just modify it for you.

So if you want your custom font put into LSDJ send me the font or an image containing A-through-Z,-,#,?,!, and/or any other 8x8(or less)pixel graphics. Then I'll make you a custom patch and post it here.

(The image examples of the LSDJ+ patches will show you every tile within LSDJ that I have the ability to modify.)

I'm working on a bunch more LSDJ+ patches and I'll be posting them here very soon.

Oh I just remembered something!
I doubt that this is actually possible to do, but you seem like the right man to ask.

A while ago I made some UI redesign mockups for LSDJ that use only a single new tile.

This is how it'd look if I had all the tiles in the world

An older and flawed version, but with colour variations: (click to embiggewiggemiggenate)

I have no idea how these "screen maps" are organized and if it's easy to edit them, but yeah I guess my question is would something like this be possible?
