tobias uses a different font for his dialogue than most other characters. i'm gonna assume it's because he's stuck morphed, but i dont actually know much about animorphs outside my morbid fascination with this bargin bin pokemon clone
i also dont remember if anybody else uses this font and my lazy ass is not checking :>
This is a clone of Animorphs GBC (dialogue)This tileset was developed specifically for use with GBStudio, where graphics are stored in the system as 8x8 tiles. By using these tiles, one can incorporate a greater variety of tiles into a map without running into the 192-tile limit which Game Boy hardware has.
Well, before making this I already found ways to break that limit (and to use larger tiles), and the resulting games compile fine and even work on real hardware. I made this anyway for those who wish to never exceed 192 tiles, thus keeping their games small in filesize and reducing the likelihood of compiling problems.

Original size: 6pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)
A simple 16x16 terrain tileset. This is designed to work in color AND in monochrome.
In making this, I condensed all known biomes (terrestrial, aquatic, air, space, manmade, transitional) into 26 tiles. This allows a given tile to define multiple different types of areas/terrain, and it allows you to come up with your own meanings for these tiles, rather than having to memorize a legend. Some of the tiles are obvious and some are not; this is by design.
A-Z, a-z = terrain
0-9, 0-9+SHIFT = map borders/frame

The main text font used for the laptop variant of the Mega Duck game console, a device that usually came in a form very reminescent of a Game Boy. I discovered this device and font through Ashens' YouTube video on the Mega Duck.
I like the font's vaguely Art Deco stylings, so I'm preserving it here.
Note that since I don't own a Mega Duck myself, I am unable to see every glyph. I had to come up with a few myself. They're consistent to the style but may not reflect the look of the actual hardware. The system does seem to have excellent language support so I hope a Mega Duck owner sees this...
Also inconsistent to the actual font is the spacing. The original looks like Monospaced 8px, but the width of "0" makes this impractical.
Finally, bear in mind that each "pixel" on the Mega Duck had lines of separation between itself and its neighbors. I've changed the brick size to 0.8 in an attempt to simulate this. It takes an immense size to accurately reproduce the grid, so I consider this design to be in the High Resolution Pixel category.
8x8 pixel art generator. It can be used to draw at any size once you understand how it works. Feel free to write your own scripts/code to automatically draw with this!
Glyphs are mapped to pixels as follows:
456789,.
wxyz0123
opqrstuv
ghijklmn
YZabcdef
QRSTUVWX
IJKLMNOP
ABCDEFGH
ABCDEFGH will make a horizontal line at the bottom edge, HPXfnv3. would make a vertical line on the right edge, and so on.

Type to draw! See the sample for an example of how I do it.
1 space = 1px of spacing. Use 8 spaces to start a new block and 16 spaces to start a second block which is 8px away from the first. This fine space exists to allow any sort of pixel art to be drawn within an infinitely large "canvas".

If you draw something with this font, feel free to show it off in a comment. This is an unusual way to draw, but it has many unforeseen potential uses!
One form of beauty in this type of art is that your code IS the art. And, the code and art are yours to recreate and modify endlessly as you desire, all without ever having to draw, save/load files, or even touch an image editor.
Have fun!
