Allison made a new game for the gm48 - it's an incremental game where you smash road signs to (eventually) earn trillions of pounds! ci.itch.io/graphic-de-s... #gamedev
Graphic De-sign. The left side of the screen is a shooting range where british road signs with numbers on fly around while you shoot them, when you do they explode into money.

The right hand side of the screen has UI which also looks like road signs, showing money, a timer, full screen / windowed option, volume and a button to click to start/end each shooting round.

having realised I was on 998 fonts, not 997, due to forgetting the one that Cody Rhodes uses... I have made font #999, but will not be releasing it yet it will be released in conjunction with font #1,000... and something else needless to say... ONE font remains. #font #graphicdesign #art #noai

Can recommend. Having a good all-the-same-artist font pack means when you pick a few that seem reasonable, they'll be more likely to work together than a random assortment sourced independently. Like you still need to follow uh, good taste, but odds are way higher assuming that.
