Hey @itch.io! 😃

Where is the 21:9 wide cover used?

I couldn't see it in use on any of the featured releases on the itch homepage (and the background seems to be a blurred version of the project's first screenshot).

#itchio

Screenshot of itch.io product settings. Under the Metadata tab in the promo images section you can upload a variety of images for different purposes. The social media image says it gets shown on Twitter, Facebook, etc. when your project is linked. The favicon is shown as the browser icon (like in a tab). The wide cover says: "Used for special home page featuring. Must be 21:9 aspect ratio".

I added a bunch of box drawing elements to my latest fantasy pixel font, Knightwood :D

tjtrewin.itch.io/knightwood-p...

If you layer things up you can even customise it to make different coloured patterns, borders, ropes, vines, chains, and UI elements!

#PixelArt #PixelFont #Font #IndieGameDev

Knightwood fantasy pixel font, 250+ languages, bonus glyphs, 16px tall overall with 8px high uppercase

Text in a dialogue box made using the font: "TJ Trewin: Did you know that if you add box drawing elements on different layers, you can add shading & make unique patterns!"

The examples show vines and ropes with optional shading, chains, and decorative border patterns.

A pixel aesthetic indie game mockup "KrakenQuest", made entirely using elements from the font. Rope adorns horizontal black cinematic bars, framing an ocean and sky. The sky has a gradient made using shade character blocks. Kraken tendrils rise from it, made with border elements. The start menu UI buttons are also made from these elements, with text: NEW GAME, LOAD GAME, EXIT TO DOS.

A mini game mockup of an Objectives screen or quest log at a tiny scale resolution. Text: "Objectives. Steal 100 loot (optional). Learn Benny's whereabouts. Travel to the bear pits. Continue (left right arrows)"

The border elements show example use as checkboxes for incomplete, complete, and in progress.
