I got an update on a feature request I submitted back in september :)
http://bugs.gamesalad.com/show_bug.cgi?id=268

Will be allowing user to import a font as an asset type to be used in the display text behavior in the GameSalad Creator.
Thank you for voting.

    That's AMAZING!!

    I also voted for custom collisions, and got an email saying that custom polygon collision shapes will be added as a feature as well! So excited!

    Great to see this progress . . . . I hope there is some basic character control over things like leading, kerning, word space and so on.

    Also while the Display Text behaviour is getting some attention it would be great to finally kill off the annoyng white-default-text-colour-on-white-default-actor-colour situation, anything would be better than white text !

    Also, it would be great to see the font size limit (currently 99) lifted, I've often had a need for larger fonts, at the moment you need to dig out the HTML file and alter the size there if you need a larger font.

    Oh F**K YES!

    I was putting off making a fantasy RPG kinda game because the currently available fonts just don't suit it, and it'll be very text heavy.

    @BlackCloakGS‌ Any ETA on this?

    Cheers,

    Seems like @BlackCloakGS has been going around and updating all the requested features. Android expansion files and Google Play Services integration got an update as well along the same lines.

    Thanks for keeping us up to date on what is coming in the future!

    @jonmulcahy Have previously not voted for this since the GS team previously basically has said that custom fonts will never happen in the creator. Voted now after the comment from BlackCloakGS, thanks for the heads up. Maybe there is hope after all :)

    No ETA on any thing except AdMob (0.14). Will mostly just go down the list from most votes to lest. Each feature being a new version.

    What's "Mo ETA". When you cut the grass?

    Now I've figured out the problem. No wonder there are bugs, they're all caused by typos in the code.

    Yu tipe az gud az me :D Damn iPhone!

    (I don't work at Gamesalad) I am going to take an educated "guess" since it is probably .16 or .17 probably quarter 4 or early 2016.

  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273

    I think they scheduled this for .14 or .15. So hopefully by the end of the year. Really looking forward to it!

    Isn't .15 just some tweaks? And I don't think custom fonts .14, it has enough features in it.
