One of the major goals for my game is to make sure everything is my creation. That means no ripped graphics, sounds, music, (hopefully ideas...), and even...
the font. Opinions?

some of the lowercase is harder to read, such as the "z" and "g"

Try to make your letter spacing nice and evened out, as well as letter size being consistent. A lot of OHR games that use a custom font don't do this, so their fonts end up having a disjointed look that makes it less pleasing to read.

Okay, I took those ideas to heart and came up with this:
I like it. But, also "I-made-this" syndrome.

I think it looks pretty good, personally. Where's the question mark, though?

Oh right! I did draw it, as well as the rest of , . < > / ' : ; { } + = - _ \ | ` ~ but I didn't post them. They were all pretty straight forward, to be honest. I don't feel like making another image at the moment.

The thick exclamation marks/periods/colons look really bad with the otherwise thin font. The lowercase k looks... odd. Everything else is fine I guess, but I don't really see the point of making your own font if it's going to look so normal, even if you are just going for originality. It doesn't look as good as the default font.

I'm with surlaw on this one. I really don't see the point in making everything yourself. Because, honestly, you can't. There's lots of stuff that is built into the engine that you can't change. So making things yourself, just for the sake of making them yourself, is kind of a wasteful idea.
That said. The font is readable. That's really all that matters.

Making some good progress on this. Trying to finish it up, heh. I think this is the only safe screenshot I can show you guys without giving away who won.

It's a Castlevania/Dracula joke.

I got that.
It's Bob the Vampire right?

Vlad. It's Vlad the Hamster. He's featured in some early Hamster Republic games.

Tonight is the night I killed Vlad the Hamster.
The finale is roughly 50% or more done now.
