So a while back I remade the Game Over screens from the Danganronpa game triolgy (which I have up as Commission options on my ko-fi by the by)
Tumblr media
Now while I was doing these, you may have noticed that I uh. I didn't use the official font. There's a reason, I assure. And the reason is that I uh. I really don't like the official font. So here's a fun fact about the GAME OVER screens in the official English releases of the first two Danganronpa games:

Click/Tap the "Keep reading" to learn more.
The font that NIS America used for the dialogue at the bottom is actually not scaled correctly compared to the rest of the animation. The original sprite based animations for Danganronpa and Super Danganronpa 2 were both animated at HALF the PSP resolution (240x136), this ensured them following a pixel grid in when scaled up by 2 for the PSP FMV's.

However, since the English versions of the Danganronpa games were made using the PSVita's resources, they didn't bother with that and just slapped in a font that's actually upscaled by 6 compared to the rest of the animation's 4x scale.

Ignore the screenshot being blurry, couldn't get a natively clean one like with the PSP version. So lets say they did portray the font with a 1:1 scale, how would that look?

MMMM Yeah so as you can see the thing is way too small at 1x scale

and at 2x it's way too big. this font fuckin' sucks. regardless here it is on the gif I created because I hate myself.
