Top Pcmac Reviews

  • Fabulous tool

    By SimReality (Pcmac user)

    So far this tool has been nothing short of awesome for making bitmap font sheets for use in Unity. I'd say that if I could get any features I'd add some options for filters (like blurs) and the ability to import some of the output types (like an FNT) and have it recreate the settings as best it can (font family and size is really all I care about) just in case I forget to save the project. Regardless it's still a great tool for any game developer. :)
  • New Version Much Improved

    By Pocket Hero (Pcmac user)

    When I first bought this app I was trying to make a sprite sheet of a couple thousand Japanese characters I needed for my game. The first version I bought crashed and locked up when I tried to make a sprite sheet with so many characters. However, I sent an email to the author who was relatively responsive and actually fixed several of the issues I mentioned. Now the app works perfectly for what I need to do. It's not flawless but, the support is decent and it can handle large character sets. I would now recommend this app.
  • Great value

    By nesguru (Pcmac user)

    I chose this over Glyph Designer because it did what I needed for 1/4 of the price. I am using it to design bitmap fonts for a Corona SDK app and it works great. The only problem I've had is that sometimes when I change the "File Name" field on the Publish screen, the change doesn't stick and I have to open the file in a text editor to change the value.
  • A Must Have Tool for Cocos2D Developers!

    By Electron2094 (Pcmac user)

    This program works great. It has some excellent features including the ability to apply changes to only certain letters/numbers but noth others, the ability to texture a font with an image file, gradient on the stroke (new!), and more! This is a must have tool for all Cocos2D developers!
